1t is thought that the destruction of
game birds in the mountains during
the recent cold snap has been fearful.
In some localities such numbers of
cartridges, pheasants and other game
have persisted that almost total ex-
termination is feared.

REMARKABLE REGENERATION.

REMARKABLE REGENERATION. -
ID. M. Ferry & Co., the well-known
Seedmen, of Detroit, Mich, announce
that they are OH their feet again and
ready and anxious to receive orders
for seeds from every one of their GUS
toners, and from as many new ones
as feel kindly disposed toward them.
They are in condition to fill promptly
every order with new seeds of the best
quality.
On January LIST their immense ware
house was destroyed by fire. 1t was
filled with probably the largest stock
of assorted seeds ever gathered under
one roof. Their books and papers
were all saved, and every person who
had ordered seeds of them will be
supplied with his usual stock. They
had large quantities of seeds in their
warehouses on their seed farms, in the
hands of their growers and not yet de-
livered, and on the way from Europe,
which, together with their fully stock
ed branch Seed Store in Windsor, On
tario close at hand, and the free and
vigorous use of the telegraph and Ca
BILE, enabled them to secure a new
stock in a remarkably short time.
Before the fire was subdued they
had secured new quarters and were
devoting all their energies to their
customers interests. In thirty days
from the fire they were in perfect
working order again.
When we consider the magnitude of
their business, the appalling destruc-
ton property at the most unfortu-
nate season of the year, we doubt If
the annals of history furnish case of
such rapid recuperation. Such energy
deserves success.

MARTINSBURG HERALD, S

We have conversed with farmers
from every section of the county
upon the growing condition of the
wheat crop. The general opinion ex-
pressed is that much damage, by the
late spell, has been done the crop.
Where the ground was covered with
snow during this severe spell of
weather the wheat looks fresh and
green, and promises fine yield but
in many places the wind drifted the
snow entirely off the ground /; in some
instances uncovered whole fields !;
where this occurred the wheat is look
ing badly and many fear that the
March thaws will leave these fields
comparatively barren. 1t is to hoped
we may have favorableseason from
now on, for should this county have
another failure of the wheat crop,
such as we had last year, great dis
tress will result many farmers were
unable to pay their phosphate bills on
account ofthe scanty yield, and should
another failure occur of this staple
crop the county will not recover the
loss for many years.
