They s;iy of the Rev. Air. Tooth, the English 
ritualist, that when he was a hoy, being fond of 
display and of very susceptible feelings, he-hurst 
Into a Hood of tears because ins sister was allowed 
to wear a scarlet gown, tv privilege which was 
denied to him. 
A vkiit unusual compliment has been paid to 
the singer, Mum. Trebelll-nelilnl, at Copenhagen, 
the King having personally handed to her the 
Danish decoration “LlttCrU et Artlbus’—a deco¬ 
ration which Is all the more coveted as It Is very 
rarely given, especially to foreigners. 
The countryman who steps off car platforms 
while the train Is running at full speed has turned, 
up again—this time at Slaughtersville, Tenn. 
When found he was alive and talkative, hut had a 
wrist and leg broken, Ids hip Knocked out of place, 
and the back of his head badly bruised.

' EVERYWHERE. 
Jolinsou Co., linn., .'lurch 20.—We have 
had a very line winter until last Friday, when It 
hegan to snow In the morning and continued till 
noon of the next day (daturdaj). It has been 
cold for the past twenty-four hours. A few of 
our farmers have sowed oats, and quite a number 
have started the plow. The late freezing and 
thawing are beginning to show on the wheat. 
Clover looks well. Times are rather dull at 
present. Produce is low. tv heat Is worth 90C.(? 
$1 per bushel; corn, son*250.; potatoes, 76«eS6C.; 
hay, $ 2 . 50 <., 5 . Green apples are scarce.—c. v. o. 
Humboldt, Tenn., March 2i.-ThlS month 
lias been rather cool and unfavorable for plow¬ 
ing, being too wet, most of the time, consequently 
there has been but little corn planted so far this 
season. The ground has workedlluely, however, 
for the past week. Farmers have pushed things 
lively and will do considerable planting next 
week, It Ibo weather continues favorable. To-day 
the wind Is blowing briskly from the north, ac¬ 
companied by light, rain and sleet. The ther¬ 
mometer is now at the freezing point, March 23. - 
1 presume we are now having our Easter rains 
and cold winds, which we rarely ever escape lu 
this latitude. Apricots and native plums are now 
in full bloom. No peach blooms yet, though 
there may be some few in favored locations. I be 
weather is now (March 26) fair and the sun Is 
shining.— b. k. T. 
Bingham*. x. V., 3lurch 27.—It has been 
snowing here f yr the past twenty-tour hours, and 
still continues. In some places the suow has 
drifted to a ldght of five or six feet. There Is one 
foot of snow that has recently fallen and two 
feet of old snow In the woods. The creeks have 
been bank-full tor two weeks, and some damage 
has been done to railroads, and it being so late in 
t he season, It will be impossible for so much suow 
to molt away without doing serious damage to all 
property on the lowlands. It has been a very 
hard wl liter for hoes. Nearly one-halt the stands 
In this vicinity have died, and what there is left 
of them are weakly. Not much profit can be 
reasonably expected from tlie apiaries here tills 
season. Stock is doing very well, but the late 
stormy weather must tell sadly on such as have 
not been properly fed and sheltered. M tlch cows 
are selling at from $35 to $50 per head; hay, $s 
per ton; wheat, fl.lOWl,25 per bushel; corn, 5M 
60c.; oats, 4 Oit.i5c,; mill-feed, ifl.sMii«e l.50 per 100; 
potatoes, $Un,2, but the latter price Is for extra 
varieties for planting; apples, 60,.< 75c. Beans will 
bring almost any price ; If of a good quality, $3.50 
@4 per bushel are paid.— j. n. a.
