you few lines for your worthy pa

and is always greeted with enthusiasm
We have had a very wet, cod
Spring, which has delayed farm work;
but 1t mas been repaid by the growth
OF grass and grain, which look ex-
ceedingly well. Some of the farmers
are not done planting corn yet on
account of the lowness of the soil.
The fruit in general will be scarce
here, although in the northeastern
part of Huntingdon Co, there are
good pros pects for apples.
On the 18th inst, high spirited
Texas pony belonging to DR.. Sterrett
of Academia, after roaming over a
good deal of country came to the
residence of j. S. Kenepp, who took
him in charge until the 18th, when
he was taken home by George Ubil.
Mr. Sterrett had better watch his
pony or he may go to Texas the next
time. The Nossville tannery has start
ed up, which promises to make
things lively about Nossville. On
Sunday last Mr. Rhorer preached a
good sermon N the PRESBYTERIAN
church in Cross Keys. Mr.. Rohrer is
an able speaker and is well worth
hearing.
A few days since a large carving
knife belonging to ]. S. Kenepp,
supposed to have been stolen about
a year ago was found near the place
from whence it disappeared. 1t has
been either not stolen or returned
but the saddle. and bride stolen be.
fore that has not been returned yet
as they are returned the thieves will
get credit for it through this paper

She married her kinsman,
AND lite was not sweet,
For no swore with his mouth
And kicked with his feet.
One day a companion
Overheard his abuse,
And asked wig she stood il
Without cutting loose.
She answered: sThat buster

You see he's my cousin;

The "FOriy Thieves" did enjoy;
And both my parents wouli annoy
BY wanting to be Lawy er,
They said would not com. to good
Ii / should JPN that Brother hoUd;
\ man-of-the-town l then would be,
And hire my brains out Tor a fee;
My little Conscience soon would diei
And | would learn to cheat and lie;
And the Devil would get me, b, and by
Aud all from being 4 lawyer
Too late they saw the bluuder p,ade-
would not take TO any Trade;
But ran about all day and played
At highway man and Lawyer!
My little hand. were never clean;
And in bad company / was seen;
And with choice slang my speech
graced-
And thus my talents ran to waste;
And all because my honest pah,
Agreeing with my truthful nah,
DislIked the theory or the law
Aud the practice OF the Lawyer,
Now every lawyer that meet
With most proiUund respect greet;
And lf in funds 4 stand the treLl
Because he is Lawyer.
