Farmers in this vicinity report their hay crop
about two-thirds of last year, when the crop was
unusually heavy. This years crop is OF better
quality than last and has been secured in good con-
dition. There will not be nearly SO much damaged
hay this season last Crops generally are
looking we'll although the cold nights have retard-
ed the growth of squash and cucumber vines.......
The prospect of large potato crop is fattering.
We note with pleasure the arrival in Belfast Of
Miss Sarah Porer Simonton, the popular violinist,
who will remain here during the summer the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. &. w. Burkett. 1t is Miss
Simontons intention to form a class and give in
struction on the violin Her talents are well
known throughout New England and should secure
for her 4 number of pupils We hope also to have
Miss Simonton appear before Belfast audience
once more before her departure. the young lady
is striving hard to prosecute her own studies
the violin with q view to attaining the highest per
lection and she is emnentIy deserving of the pat
ronage and encouragement of the community.
