Local & Business Notices.
Crawfordvillk, Ga., March 18, 18V2.
Messrs. Editors of the Sun: The "on
dits” of our qaiet little village and the
vicinity around, jnst now, are all about
the weather, the lateness of the Spring,
th© backwardness of farming operations,
the crop prospects, Ac.
“ Was there ever such a winter ? Ever
soch a Macrh ? Ever so much rain at
this season of the year ? ’’—are the usual
questions propounded whenever three or
more are assembled together.
It is now past the middle of the first
Spring month—near the equinox—and
hardly the sign of the swelling of a bud
in the forest trees, and very few fruit
trees—peach or plnm—have as yet ven
tured to put forth a bloom. EvcrvthiDg
in the vegetable kingdom looks almost os
cheerless as in midwinter. The temper
ature during the last week has been be
low 40 degrees.
Besides this the rains continue to come.
On last Saturday night we had a fall of
nearly two inches in about eight hours.
The ground is too wet to plough or stir.
It is time corn was up, and yet very few
have been able to plant even a hill.
There is hardly anything doing, either in
the plantations or in the gardens. No
wonder then with this gloomy prospect,
that the question shonld be so repeatedly
and earnestly asked if there was “ ever
such a winter or ever such a March be
fore.”
It seemed to be the source of some
consolation and encouragement the other
day to quite a number of the younger
generation to hear one of the “older in
habitants” say in reply to. these ques
tions, that though the spring was late,
and the prospect not encouraging, yet
we had often had seasons quite as late
and even later. “In 1835,” said this ob
server of fifty springs or more, “we had no
peach blooms in March at all. The
ground was covered with snow eleven
inches deep from the 3d to the 6th of the
month. Several other snows succeeded.
The last was on the 27th of the month.
The difference between that March and
this is mainly in the excess of. rain that
has fallen in ibis.
“The winter of 1835 was, moreover,
much colder than this has been. At no
time this winter has the thermometer
here been lower than 16 degrees above
zero! In February of that year—on the
8th day—it was as low as 8 degrees be
low zero! A very great difference indeed. ”
“In 1843” this observer went on to say,
“We had a March not unlike that of
1835. It was quite as late. On''St.
Patrick’s Day in 1843 the thermometer
was at 16 degrees above Zero—as low
as it has been at any time, at this place,
this whole winter. On the 19th, two
days afterwards, the ground was covered
several inches with snow’; and on the
27th of the month it was again covered—
just as it had been on the same day in
1835. There was very little sign of vege
tation either of those years before April.”
“ But passing over ” as he said “ the
years 1845—1849 and 1855, ” this ob
server of fifty springs proceeded: “ Why,
as late as 1861, which all of you ought to
recollect, we had a deep snow in this
section of the State on the 18th of March.
It extended to Savannah, and was four or
five inches deep there according to the
reported accounts; and again in 1864,
there was a snow four or five inches deep
on the 23d and 24th of March throughout
all this part of the State.”
“So, though this be a cold spring and
a late spring, still it is not the coldest or
the latest yet that I have seen by many;
and though the prospect, at present, is
gloomy enough to give gardeners and
farmers the blues, still they should not
yet lose hope.”
This, as I said, Messrs. Editors, seemed
to afford some encouragemeut and conso
lation to a number, of the younger gene
ration to whom it was said; and sup
posing it may produce a like effect on a
similar class of your readers in other
parts of the State, I send it to you as
some of the “on dits” of our town, that
you may publish or not, as you see fit.

Sffi— Read ! Read !! Read !!!—It is
well known to Doctors and to T
that women are subject to numerous dis
eases peculiar to their sex—such as sup
pression of the Menses, Whites, Painful
Monthly Periods, Rheumatism of tbo
Back and Womb, Irregular Menstruation,
Hemorrhage or Excessive “Flow,”
Prolapsus Uteri, or falling of the Womb.
The profession has in vain, for many
years, sought diligently for some remedy
that would enable them to treat these
diseases with success. At last that reme
dy has been discovered, by one of the
most skillful physicians iu Georgia.
That remedy is
DR. J. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR.
Blooming in all her Pristine Beauty,,
Strength and Elasticity—Iried Doctor
after Doctor.
Rutledge, Ga., Feb. 16,1871.
This is to certify that my wife was an
invalid for six years. Had disease of the
womb, attended with headache, weight
in lower part of the back; suffered from
languor, exhaustion and nervousness, loan
of appetite and flesh. She had become
so exhausted and weak, her friends were
apprehensive she would never get well. I
tried doctor after doctor, and many pat
ent medicines—had dispaired of her im
provement, when fortunately she com
menced taking Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female
Regulator. She is now well, and three
or four bottles cared her, Improved in
health, appetite and flesh, Bhe is bloom
ing in all her pristine beauty, strength
and elasticity. I regard you as her sa
vior from the dark portals of death, and
my benefactor. May your shadow never
grow less, and you never become weary
in well-doing.
