TOUCHES FROM TRENTON.

March has proven to be wolf IN
sleeps clothing.
The prospects for fruit crop are grow
ing gloomy.
Small grain is donning. a thick coat OF
green and we may hope for good results.
The ploughman is busily turning thesod
in preparation for cotton and corn. and
many farmers will have finished plant
ing the latter in the course of q few days.
Colds of Almost. malignant type have
prevailed with US lately; and amongst
the attendant ill;conseqTsnces, it rlay be
noted that our new but famous hostelrie,
The.Ocean Branch, so admirably situat-
ed for sunshine and sea breezesa has
been turned into hospital. and }of its
guests are upon the sick list, while its
jolly and corpulent landlords, MeSsrs.
Hord and Swearingen, have assn tned
( gentlemen @ have wasz }ay q Il
nothingness, and instead Of the chu
cheeks of yore, they carry lean
hungry look, with attenusted Ian
laws that would have dishonored the
lures of that celebrated knight and
keeper Of whom Cervantes wrot
would respectfully prescribe more IS
more peas, and more pots to cook in.
Gel. John C. Cahill, of phosphate fame,
is spending while with us, he having
sold ont his entire interest in the mining
business to his partner, Major Wise. He
will soon embark in similar enterprise
again, however; and although his health
demands rast, his untiring energies will
not permit him to remain idle.
Major Abram Jones, while riding in
wagon from town to his residence
few days ago, was thrown backwards
upon the ground by sudden lurch Of
the vehicle, and seriously injured; and
though his condition is favorable Tor
speedy recovery from the effects OF the
accident, he ia still confined to his he'd.
Quarterly Meeting commenced at the
Methodist Church on last Saturday; and
on Sunday services were held in the
Episcopal and Presbyterian Churche
besides.
Miss Bessie Adams has been elected
by the Trustees of the Hatcher Pond
school as their teacher-an excellent Sc
lection. predict for Miss Adams abun-
dant success in her newly chosen profess
sion.
By far the most notable event that has
lately occurred in our society circles was
the marriage on the evening Of the 2lst
aultimo, at the Episcopal Church, by the
aRcyds. E. 4. Walker and S. L. Morris,
$bf Mr.. A. Fl. s Day aud Miss Wenona
Gray. The illness of your correspond
: bnt Immediately afterwards prevented
him from furnishing you with the de-
tails of this unusually interesting and
Impressive ceremony; and while it's too
Gate to do so at present, yet hope my
&9incere and heartfelt congratulations and
best wishes for the prosperity Of the hap
<8by couple, are in due season. The many
T braces and virtues of the beautiful bride
are well known; while as for Aleck, per-
NIT me in this plain, blunt manner to
saw. that no nobler, truer, manlier OF
more honest heart ever beat under q
waistcoat, than his. Standing first in his
classes as school boy, first ct the count
er and desk as clerk and accountant, and
first when upon his own resources,
amongst successful business men, he
will stand always first in the relation OF
husband, kinsman and neighbor.
