PERKINsvILLE.-A larger acreage of corn
than usual has been planted, chiefly owing
to the early season. Oats and other small
grains are looking well and making a rapid,
healthy growth. The grass crop is abund-
ant and very thick at the bottom, and the
warm damp weather is giving a semi-tropi-
cal growth. Very few seasons have ever
promised more for the husbandman at this
time. - The boys have begun their an
nual raid ON the birds nests, which will Ill
timately be followed by the entire extermina-
ton of our songsters and insect-catchers,
unless a stop be put to the work. Bits of
broken shells and dismantled nests can be
seen anywhere, and not one bird is seen
now where, few years ago, scores of them
| builded about every house. This wanton
destruction of one Of the best aids to the
| farmer ought to be attended to by some one
with courage enough to stand up for the
songsters. The state press ought to call at
tention to the matter. - George Walker
was arrested recently for cider-drinking in
Romance Waitmans house This is in di-
rect compliance with the law, If done hon

too many behind the door-men who will
cry loudly for temperance and cause the
arrest of drinkers when their cellars con-
tain the usual barrel of the beverage, which
is quaffed by themselves and offered to in
innate friends. Get the mill-log out of your
own eye, then cause your neighbours arrest
for the plank in his.
