SWOOPE's, Mar. Sth.-The commence
ment Of Spring, with the lengthening of the
days and the singing Of tie birds has broken
up the winter quarters Of many in oul
community, and moving seems to be the
order of the day. The men are asking where
shall we plant our corn and SOW our oats
and reap our grain this season, and the
ladies', with equal interest, are inquiring
where shall we set that hen, raise that
Xmas turkey and make the prints Of golden
butter. The following are some Of the
changes which have been made recently:
