BACHMAN'S VALLEY.

The grounding weather has held
on pretty we'll for four weeks, but the
last week it was more summer wealth
er and pleasant. Ice was removed
from roads, and some places there
were several sink holes and a great
amount of mud, and all travellers had
bad trips. Roads have dried very
much in the last few days. On sunny
sides a small amount of dust is seen.
AT few places roads have been torn
badly by the heavy rains and high
waters, and needs the attention Of
road makers, as an accident may oc-
cur any time by breaking carriages or
by an upset and causing a horse to
run away.
Health Of community is not very
good, many different kinds of diseases.
