Iay The Woodstock Herald under

SaT The " oodstock Herald under
stands that there is a strong disposition
among the old "couteds" to organize a
regiment of veteran rebs in the Valley
to take part in the Yorktown celebra-
ton. OF course, it is not intended that
they be uniformed or armed, bat simply
formed into companies and then regl-
meut by which they will secure better
quarters, fare, &c, and be able to secure
much cheaper rates OF transportation.
We think this good idea, and hope TO
see the idea fully agitated through the
Valley. Would it not be good plan
also to invite the old vets of the other
side to form similar organizations and
go down aud help bury the Ratchet aud
rejoice together over common herit,
age of gloryl Let's hear from all

Gus parts of the county the farmers have
noticed that the corn planted this spring
has been unusually slow in sDrouting, ana
upon investigation they have found that
the germ life was frozen out of the seed
during the past winter. The subject is as
suming Il serious aspect in localities and
the almost diSheartened farmers are con-
