to enliSt the efforts of all the members
whose constituents a e among the river
lying dihtriets, and get a. survey of the
whole stream. If this survey :results -as
many are contidentit will, then $150,000

work to the' head waters. There are not

In reply, winter grain has suffered from
two causes. Ttie < last fall's, extreme
drourb, arid our open and variable winter
season.' - W'th few exceptions winter
grain is standing thid on_the field; and is
not as proinising at this time of the year

The season is not sufficiently- advanced

are grave ; apprehensions that the gi ub
worm, which destroyed our pastures and
meadow land the latter y part - of last sum

There are many pasture and meadow
fields that will not recover until they are
re-seeded. The protracted freezing and
thawing this spring hai thrown out the
diver roots, and injuriously affected the
other grasses which are depended upon
for our hay crop. The promise is not

There will he an increase of the acre

present exceptional 'market prices. I
judge from present appearauce that there
will be an effort to increase the corn o. op

vited to much extent in our county. The
dairy product is the main article of Brad

to be the main reliance of our farmers.
The census of 1870 shows that Bradford
County made more butteethan any other
county in the State of Pennsylvania.

either year you mention.
Bradford County is essentially agricul

telligent and enterprising. I think there
is a general disposition to diversify our
farming more than heretofore.
The cultivation of vegetablei is justified

ATHENS NOTES.
People are very busy, no person being ;
idle' that wishes to work. .There mAy
found in all places idlers of both sexes
that would like easy places and high sala
ries for their presence, 'but none of our
willing workers iu town or country are
out - of employment. We occasionally see
an able bodied *ramp, -however, and pity
the people who encourage such ',ractices
by feeding-them.
The fields begin to assume a spriri
appearance, and an unnsoal ammo. ofi
ma-leg grain is to he sown, judging by to
fields already plowed.
Scandal mongers, persons desirous of
injuring neighbOrs, and blackmailers, are
busy in %rations places, but, those thus far
attacked- will not be injared ieriou'ily by
their designing. 'Tis strange how soon
a person's vittuos are forgotten if any
