THE CROPS IN GENERAL.
The farmers have finished planting
their corn, and are waiting patiently for
few more warm days and gentle rains
to see the tiny blade appear. The wheat
is looking better than i'll previous years.
and an abundant harvest seems to await
the husbandmen. The lovers of apples
need not despair for this particular fruit,
for the appearance of the trees indicate
no scarcity of excellent fruit.
QUITE \ LIVE PLACE.
The many traders and visitors going to
and from Carpenters Point make our
village gay place. And the transient
boarlers at the club house, who take up
their residence to while away the heated
season, also cnliven the surroundings.
Notwithstanding their stay is not often
extended to months, yet they have a dis
position to be liberal. and lend a helping
hand in liIuidating the salary of our for
mer pastor. From past success, our col
lectors should wait upon them, as the
organ, parsonage. etc, are on hands.
few more Sabbaths and the members and
friends of CharleStown church will hear

to Messrs. Tucker d Alexander, two of
our energetic men. After the touch of
the painters brush. our village can boast

SICKNESS IN THIS SECTION.
The sanitary condition Of this town
and surrounding country is good. with
the exception of an occasional chill. This
is severe on the doctors, pecuniarily.
AN ENTERTAINMENT.
The ladies' of the NJ +. Church con-
template holding, Oh June 10th, Il straw
berry festival for the benefit Of the
church. 1t is rumored that the auxiliary
society will give an entertainment of
reading, lecture, singing. and music. As
this entertainment is still in the hands of
a society organized about the first Of
April, the success cannot be predicted.
RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS.
The Rev. J. ". lIammersley preached
at Principle from Luke Il: 46. A: and at
Charlestown from Col. ): ,, 3, 1. Both
sermons were appropriate for the admin
istration Of the Lords Supper. The
membership of the adjourning churches
need not be afraid to ride to Charles
town and listen to a sermon. Our pres
ent pastor can preach two different ser
mons in one day. 1t is safe 10 say this
circuit has not been so well suited since
the days Of Rev. J. ID. Kemp. The sun
day school seems to be in a ilourishing
condition. Our Superintendent is push
ing the workers right ahead. Mrs. Caro-
line Graham and Mrs. l.!a Cooper have
charge of the infant department. Mr..
B. Cooling will review the lesson next
Sunday. SpRlSG.
