On last Friday, “All Fools Day," at the recess hour, nearly all the stu dents of the college classes marched otf to the woods, thereby giving the professors an unrecognized holiday.

Frequent frost during the last half of the month with a cold wave on the 29tli, 30th, doing considerable damage to ull tender vegetation like potatoes, beaus and tomatoes but not severe enough to damage Spring grain. Steady westerly winds pre vailed after the 10th which soon dis pelled the moisture from the showers of the enrly part of the month and put a check on the growth of oats and early vegetable plantings. The mean temperature of March was 2 degrees below that of February and the rain fall was three inches less than nor mal. Most of the peaches are proba bly killed, especially those of the ear ly varieties. S. A. Cook. April 1, 1887. Baldwin County S. S. Association.

Telegraphic dispatches received yes terday state that a heavy snow storm commenced in New England on Fri day night and increased in violence till it was considered in some places "the most severe for many years if not unprecedented.” The wind blew with a velocity of from 40 to 80 miles an hour and the snow was from 8 to 24 inches deep, differing according to localities; and besides much damage done on laud, the wreckage of vessels caused great loss of shipping and doubtless a good deal also of human life. The storm had not entirely abat ed at last accounts. Read in another column the ad vertisement of E. Crockett, of Ma con HiR well known Iron Works for the building and repair of en gines for locomntives steamboats and all the varied machinery which now-n-duys takes the place of the old time manual labor, aro in full and active operation and supply ing many of the increasing wants of a large and ever growing population.

Donald McQueen gave notice from his pulpit on Sunday last that he proposed in a short time to hold a Heries of daily religious services in the Presbyterian Church and he expected to have help from some of his brother clergymen. , . , . We* learn that the session of that church hope to obtain the services of Rev. Dr. Girardeau of South Caroli na to aid in the proposed protracted services. He is without a superior and possibly without an equal among the Southern Presbyterian ministry for eloquence and efficiency in the pulpit. m Rev. Lee Denham, of Mercer Uni versity, preached an excellent sermon to the Baptist congregation at the Court House last Sunday. Rev. Bar ney Foreman will preach next Sun day. , An exchange quotes the following as one of the best things Sam Jones ever said- “The most beautiful sight in the world is to see n family around a cheeXl lire with the head of the family reading hi. which he Has paid for in advance. just Received!
