There is some localities the farmers *have done some work*, I was at Glades ville the ffrst Saturday in this month and-notice more work done on the river hills' in that part of the coun- ty than any where else, I only ac counted for that in this way : the greater portion of the land sets lip edgcwjse amlthose people who wort •both sides of their land for a living have’taken the advantage of all this wind-aiid r{iiny weather bv working one side of the hill while it rains on the other* aj*<>in this way they have worked all around* during the change of the. wind, and hence we must conclude that it is an “ill wind that blow.? good to no man, ’’ taking all in all it maybe thp besj, ouplands is not they would have been if plowed- up, our fences is not blown down, as if they’d-been reset jand made high, our orchards not likely to bloom early and get killed, ,as is common, the croj) wil 1 be a great help to our people this time, for we.find more of them wanting 'some, merchant to run them this year than evor before, and we. expect .when, fall oom,es they, will be “run, -5 and wluit they, will then think of the race we leave £m- them to tell.
