Grain of all' kinds "look well.* Corn is small, but stands well, and has a healthy color. Oats was never better. The yield of wheat to the husbandman is equal in quantity and quality to that of any previous season for many years. Of the fruits, we can say nothing speoial. Apples will not be a full crop.

.Martin, a half-

They piled him with liijuor until far enough advanced in intoxication to suit their purpose and then induced him to go to the woods, where they fastened him to a limb of a tree, and swung him up several times, but failed to make him confess. After life had almost become extinct, they left their victim iu the woods. He finally recovered, and managed to crawl to the roadside where he was found by a farmer and brought home.

Franklin township, in this 'county, has been the theater of a number: ol very stangeand very criminal transaelions. iScductions. runaways, dissevered family ties, and other sad results following from a violation of the moral and statute law. have followed rapidly upon each other, until the people have become accustomed lo inch sensations, and regard them as matters to bo expected.

The latest, and most singular sensation, however, that Franklin township has produced, was told us this forenoon, by two as responsible citizens as reside in the township. It seems that not many weeks ago, a young couple, whose names wc arc requested to suppress, were married by the justice of thepeaccof Franklin township. Might days after the marriage, at about midnight, the young wife left her bed, went out doors, and remain-' ed but a short time. On entering the house she retired to bed again, withoutspeaking to her husband. Twice afterward, between her first gotting up and daylight, the wife left her bed and went out, as at /jr*t, remaining but a short time.

Iu the Uiortiiiig her husband got up quite early and 8\e»t to his work, sonic distance away, tb« »'jfe making no eoniplaint, but remaining iu bed after he had left. About ten o'clock in the forenoon, some children belonging to another family, were playing near the corn crib that stood upon the farm occupied by the young couple, when they heard the cries of an infant, apparently proceeding from the corn crib. They entered the crib, and after a little search fouud a newly bom babe, wrapped up iu a quilt, lying 111 0110 corner of the barn. The newly married wife was its mother, and it had been born while she was out the first time during the night.

What is most singular about this affair neither the husband nor his grauduiothor who lives with him, suspected that there was anything of the kind in prospect. The wife had denied the matter most strenuously, and accounted for her increased size by saying that she was dropsical. She was but the disease dropped into hor arms, The husband i» satisfied that ho is tho fatljor of the child but is annoyed that his wife so completely deceived him. He can, however, rest assured, that eight day childrcu aro onlyborn once iu a married man life time.— A''-w
