The young people of Jamestown and
vicinity have been holding series OF enjoy
able dances 10 the Town Hall in the village.
We cannot truthlully say the hall WAS bril-
liantiy illuminated Except by bright eyes
and the musical Instruments were not M.
neruus, but the lack Of them was not inter
ierring with the enjoyment OF the young
folks, who furnished plenty OF musical
laughter.
The copious rains Of the last week or &c
have made the country side 10 blossom al
the rose" The abundance and beauty OF
the wild flowers this season has been com
mented upon often, but the cultivated onei
have nobly done their par too, and neVe
were bushes or vines more beautiful or the
blossoms more abundant, bot the cut worn
has been getting in its deadly work 10 EARL
planted corn with great persistency.
