RANDOLPH.
Correspondence.

The clouds have ceased to snow,
The cock his song doth crow,
And all goes merry, OH - .' =
Now the sweet Summer comes booming along,
All nature is buzz ing with music and song
No longer we creep meath he feathers to sleeu.
Or waIm our cold couches with irons and brick.
The winter DER, farmers resume
their wonted labors cultivating their
broad acres for another harvest. The
deep snow and severe cold sent many
tremors through the veins of poor and
destitute in different parts of the
country. Yet without boasting over
the condition of our people in general,
we have yet to learn of any who suf-
fered with hunger or cold because they
lacked whereof to eat or wherewith to
warm. There be none so poor but
what have enough to accommodate q
stranger a night and day. We have
recently seen and conversed with rep
resentatives of the famous place, and
all agree that Randolph still sustains
her reputation for the thrift and en-
terprise of its inhabitants.

We are soon to be surprised by an
other union of heart aud hand. We
have expected it for some time, and yet
it is to be surprise. Well, what is a
surprise, anyhow? Our friend George
Klein and a young lady from over the
line in Rootstown, Miss Tina Kohl,
were in town one daw last week, and
We are told, visited the Probate Court.
This is significant, and the outcome is
easily predicted. Well, it is not de-
Walton from the established custom,
and SO far there is no reason why they
are not obedient to the law. They have
our best wishes.
