There are few if any per sons owning houses and lota or farms, whose comfort will not be promoted and the appearance and value of their property im proved by the judicious planting of fruit, shad* and ornamental trees. Of lhe deaira' hfeness of an abundant supply of fine fruit it is unnecessary to speak. Let all, who have i not already an abundant supply, go to the nearest nursery without delay and select and plant the best varieties that can be bad: it always pays to get the best. Don't be too saving and say I will get the graft* and raise the trees myself; unless you have old trees on which to graft, this is the worst kind of economy, you cau buy three or four-year old trees from the nursery for a very little more than it would coat you to graft them, and you gain four or five years and as many crops of iruit. A word for shade and ornamental trees. We admire the combining of. beauty with utili'y wherever it cau be done, but don t believe in sacrificing everything to utility. W'c believe in making our homes attractive, whether in ".own or country, and in no way can it be done more cheaply or permanently than by plantiiigajudicioussclec lion ol shade and ornamental trees and shrub bery. Oace plan ted and growing, they last ' for a generation and increase in beauty with the passing years. We pi*r the man who from a false economy, or through neglect permits his home to stand exposed to the tierce blasts ot winter and the broiling sun of summer, without an effort to beauty or pro tect it; nor do we wonder that his children are glad to leave it and seek more genial and attractive homes among strangers. Make the old home attractive without with fruit and shade ttees and ornamental shrubs, vineefand flowers, and within, with books, pa pers. and pictures, warm hearts, kind words and smiling faces and however wide your children wander, they will oft fiud their way back to their childhood's home, and it* memory, a thing of beauty, will be a joy for ever, and enshrined in their hearts. wi ! l be cherished while life lasts. ORA STREETS.—The unavoidable mud of early Spring will make muddy and disagrsea ble for a time the best kept streets. But there is no good reason why the mud should be bottomless. We don't know {hat this is really the case in Juliana street, but then no one has measured the mud here, and there may be a bottom somewhere down below; nobody kuows. What has become of the project of grading and paving this street ? It is the only business part of the town in which the streets are not paved or macadamized. With the exception of East Pitt street there is tar more travel on it than on any other street in the town: yet it has been left from year to year, often in a far worse condition than ordinary country roads: in Spring and Fail with scarcely a bottom to the mud and in Summer with dust several inches in depth, rising with every passing horse or team and pouring in suffocating clouds into every open door or window. The people in Juliana street have been paying for grading and im proving other streets far less used than their own and would now like to see a little of their money expended nearer home. What say you City fathers ? When shall the work be gin ? A Xt* INVENTION TOR FLOTRISO MII.ES.— Mr. David Baird, of Snake Spring township, this county, assisted by another gentleman, whose name is unknown to us at present, has patented an article which be denominates the "Exhaust for Mill Burrs" which :s pronoun ced by those competent to judge to be one of the finest improvements which has been ap plied to Flourinj* Miils, for a quarter of a century. Heretofore the burrs, while in mo tion, would produce a great quantity of hot air and steam inside of the cap or covering, which would cause a considerable quantity of dough or paste, dampen the flour and cause the flour to sour. The ••Exhaust"' causes a regular draft of cold air to pass between the burrs when in motion and carries off all the steam or vapor and deposits it in a recepta cle for it on the second or third story. The revolt is that the flour is sweeter, bolts without .the same stress upou the cloth, packs better and sells better when sent to market. The water buckets made use of to catch the water which is crashed lrom the grain must be emptied every two or three days. The flour is kept cool, dry and sweet by this simple machine and, as a matter of course, must be much superior to flour made the old way. The improvement can be seen at the Crystal Steam Miil, of Messrs Hartley in this place. It cannot be long until this improvement will be put into all the Miils throughout thecounlry. SPSI.NO seems to have come in reality. OB Wednesday morning the 4th inat, the mer cury marked 6 degrees below zero. Since ;ben the weather has become quits moderate. The Sunday following was a clear bright day thawing the snow quite rapidly, daring the : week foliowingtfceground was scarcely frozen a single night and several days were bright and warm. The snow has all disappeared except here and there the remnant of a drift. Sun day the loth was clear and warm and at 1 o'- clock I*. M. the mercury stood at 70 degrees, in the shade, and in the evening we were treated to the first thunder storm of the sea son: several genuine Spring showers have fol lowed since: a bright lint of green is quite perceptible upon the grass and grain fields the notes of the robin and bluebird are heard on sunshiny mornings, all harbingers of open ing Spring. Evidently the long, cold Winter has gone, though a few March snow storms, will doubtless give variety to the next few ; weeks. fiEWAREof the temptation to sit in rooms wit h ; out fire, or take long walks spJ sit down in the shade on damp seats to test, in these first j days of Spring. Danger lurks in all such in discretions, and they are the source of a ! thousand ills, that might be avoided by a little | thougbtfulnes.-. It is always imprudent for f persons in delicate health to seek cool or : : damp places to rest after being heated by j ! exercise, and doubly so in the first warm , | days-of early Spring, when both air and earth ; are damp and the human system relaxed by the sudden change. Don't throw off woolen underclothing before the first of June; better then only change to lighter material and keep I it on the year round. Don't think of sitting j in rooms, where there has not been more or less fire during the day, before the first of \ May. An ounce of prevention is better than , a pound of cure. A little prudence at this j season of the year, may save yon weeks" of ■ 'offering and innumerable doctor's bills. \\ ixjpow Bi.TNLJS.~-A fine variety of window ; paper, cheap, at the lsqcißex Bock Store, i Oi a WATER Si rpt.V.—What are Oie proba bilities in regard to the supply of water for the town daring the coming summer, espe cially if the season should be adry one ? W'ijl i our town council be good enough to tell us ? That nondescript, care, dry dock or sink (of the people s money) erected by the council last summer, and by courtesy, called a reser voir, is not entirely dry at present but the water runs out as fast as it rutui in. We would suggest, as it is not likely ever to an swer the purpose of a reservoir, that, in or der that it may not be entirely useless, it be rented out as a lager beer cellar or something of the kind; it will be ',uite dry enough for such a purpose by the first day of May at far thest. The money arising froua rents would pay a part of the interest on the investment; or if this is not thought desirable it might he appropriated, by the council, for trying a new experiment in tho reservoir line.

At the rea'donee of her daughter,in Bedford, on Thursday evening the 13th inst., Mrs. FRKD HICA C. FETTERLY, in her 77th year. Bereavement is robbed of iu sadness when such christians die. Sorely surviving friends cannot mourn when a lifetime of Godliness has termina tod la m translation so triumphant. For sixty-two years the departed had been a member ef the chnrch of Christ, and wall did she adorn her profession. Per life was truly a life of prayer and her dying hoars were praise. Sur rounded by dutiful children, who had labered to mahe ber declining years happy, the peacefully passed from earth, ard now "Far from this world of toil and strife Is present with the Lord, The labors of her mortal life End in a large reward. X. It MnuoKiau.—Mrs. LOUISA iIcATEE. wife of Rev. J. Q. MeA tee, died in Bedford, on the 7th inst,, aged 2S years. Mrs. McAtea was the daugh ter of Jesse Craig, of Welsh Hun, Franklin CO., Fa. At an early age she became a member of the Presbyterian chnrch, hut subsequently con nected with the Lutheran Chnrch, of which her husband was a minister. Less than one year ago brother McAtee remored to Bedford as Psstor of the Lutheran church, and prospects of long life and usefulness were before him and his wife. In this short time, not only the entire membership of this large field, but the people of ercry name in town and country, became warmly attached to them. In Mrr. M, oar beloved brother found a wife ardently devoted to his people, and interest si in nil that pertained to the church. "None knew her but to lore her, Nonenamcii her put to praise." Merely to be the Pa torta wife, is not sufficient ts gain the bearte and win the love of a parish; but in her they found those rare virtues and ten der sympathies, the suave manner and modest demeanor, in a word, the pure, good, noble soul which so beautifully adorns the Parsonage and j effectually wins the heart of every one. It is no marvel, then, that the whole community was star tled and dismayed when the fad intelligence flew from lip to lip, that amid the strength and bloom of life, this loveiy, this Christian woman had sud denly been called away from earth. It wasadsrk day to the church—to every one : but how inex pressibly fearful was it to our dear brother. Not all the kind offices of love and sympathy could beur him up against the first crash of the storm that fell upon hiw. But now the ,-amc voice speakeih as it did to Ktekie), when the desire of bit eyes was taken away so suddenly, though the only light of that little home hat gone out forever; "ATuoir I hat (kit it the Lor.l) GOD." Mrs. McAtee, according to a previous request, was buried in the grave yard at the "Old White Church," at borne. Her funeral sermon was preached by the Presbyterian pastor to a largo assembly of friends. The writer of this enjoyed many happy hours with the dear departed and her husband in the home she made so pleasant.

The Miserable* •Of this bright and cheerful teorld are the l>y*peptic.i. Without a good digestion there can neither b bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment. Between ths stomach and the brain there is a close and wonderful alliance. If the one is dis ordered the other is gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort, and indifferent to all that makes life agreeable to the healthy. Is this a condition that any rational human be ing is willing to endure, when the means of cer tain, immediate and permanent relief can be ob tained everywhere? The Dyspeptic has his fate in his own hand. If he chooses to bsnish forever the disorder that racks bis body an<l disturbs the mind with name f less horrors, he has only to step to the nearest drug store and procure a supply of HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of Dyspepsia has ever yet resisted the alteratire, tonic and anti-bilious operation of this potent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic stomach; rouses into healthy action the dormant liver, puts to fligbt the dismal fan cies that beset the mind; gently relieves end reg uiates tbe bowels; strengthens the enfeebled nerves; restores tbe appetite, and makes, as it were, a new creature of the desponding and debil itated invalid. Ladies who suffer from indigestion have only to take a small dose of this pare vegetable correc tive, once ordwice a day, to secure intire exemp tiyn from tbe pains and penalties ef a weak stom ach and that perfect functional regularity, which but few of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.
