Farm work is entirely suspended but very
few spring oats have bcee sowed as yet and
not much farm work of any other kind DONE
The creeks and branches are all up, while
the ground is wet TO the foundation and the

The public roads are almost impasab'e but
the mandate from the County Commissioners
has gone forth for the roads to be put in good
order or The overseers and hands will be dealt
with according to the XIV articles, and we
wait with much anxiety the result.
Most Of the Towns and cities in the

No MAN ESSENTIAL TO THE LIFE OF A

TOO much here worship in the world, even
in this unitarian age. 1t is proper to give

Whenever he assumes to be greater it is tina

not been ordered and the campaign had not

had been put in motion aud candidates were
