The picnic season is at hand There is but one prisoner in jail. l''ul! uioou Saturday 12 47 a. ni. Day's length 13 hours 37 minutes. The sour nood is late blossoming this season. With a lair season Stokes wiil make two thirda of a tobacco crop. The larger portion of tho corn crop 19 uow planted in this county. There is a prospect of a good crop of blackborries this season. The thermometer indicated S1 degrees in the shade yesterday at noou. Some of tho farmers aro harrowing over thoir sprouting corn. Soaio showers would have a good cf- i feet on vegetation at this time. Dr. Robert Ricrson has gone to Lous town, p. 0., on tho Yadlflu, six milos. from Winston, to practice. Most of the peaches in this section j have bocti killed but the apple crop I promises to bo abundant. Tlio dogwood and poplar are blossom-' ing and by another week nil the forest vegetation wilt be in its fullest glory.

The apple trees in this county are i being infested by caterpillars that hung) in broods enveloped by webs from the] branohes of the trees. The prospect of tho wheat crop in i some parts of the couuty, notably north ward from hero is not vary good though j we have scon some veiy promising fields here *nd there. Spring lamb with mint sauce is now iu rcsscst, aud sliawberries and cream aro looked far wild to, and may be ac tuallyX'idnlged in throughout tho eas tern part'ef the State. The wind of last Friday hud a tolling effect in tho north-west part of tho coun ty, where it de-root'ad a tobacao barn at Mr. Lum Smith's and other buildings in that neighborhood. Alabastinc is a superior wall finish. Handsomer than paper and more dura ble than paint. It will fill np all cracks in the wall killing the vermin.

If you should use fertilizer in raising watormo'ons don't put it too near the top of the ground, for it would have the effect of burning the vines or exhaust itself too soon. If you pot the fcrtili zer on tho clay it will not burn tho vines, bnt will nourish them during the whole season. We understand that the Reporter does not get to Slato and Brown Moun tain, till Tuesday following the day it is mailed at Danbury which is Thursday morning. Tho abovo named post offices are on the branch rjote that runs from Dalton to Brown Mountain by of Slate. Tho iron horse has penetrated this county, slow though its approach has been and to-day the event is being cel ebrated at Walnut Cove. They should havo illustra'.od tho oarly way in which tobacco was rolled from this county to Lynchburg, when it was packed in a hogshead to which a horse was attached by a shaft. Tuesday May 10th, and not Wednes day May 11th will be Momnrial Day, when tho survivors of the war between the States, which terminated April 10th, twenty-two years ago, will as semble in annual rounion to pay re spect to the dead comrades who participa ted with thmn in that fierae inundation of cornage. We saw last week a good size "jack fish or more properly speaking a pike that had been caught in the Dan hero. We did not see it closely enough to say whether it was the long or shovel-nosed pickerel (Bsox retioulatus, Leseur| ot the trout piokerel or as it is somotime oalled ihort-uosed pickerel (Esox fasci als, De Kay). 11 The heavy showers and blustery! - I wiiuther of last Thursday gave way to a ( ' clear sunset and beautiful double rain- j i bow. A strong north-west wind was 1 | prcsoot Friday and did not lay till night. • The day was another illustration of! "spring lingering in the lap of winter;"! it was a leijulir March squealer. Sat urday was clear with quite u strong west wind.

They have had i groat pigeon roost { the last soa"GO in tlio Indian Territory " of which we copy tho following dofcrip a j tion from tho Bt. Louis Globe Democrat. 1 j "The greatest wild pigeon roost in s ; the United States is located 20 miles 1 j north of Tahlcquah, Indian Territory, iu r Going Snako district, this nation. A iuas who has becu there says the trees „ covering a mile square of timbered !»nd 5 ; are literally ns full as tho limbs will . bar at night with these birds. Mil i lions of pigeons are there, be says, and ~ at night when they come in to roost they a inako aoiso like mighty thunder. Bir I a uien say there are ouly two droves of , wild pigeons uow in North America. This is the larger one. A graat many poople are encamped around the roost engaged in trapping, netting and killing them for shipmout, which they are doiug t by the thousands. The nets aro placed u at smne poiut where the birds got water, I and sometimes as mniy as forty dozen aro caught in one fly of tho net. This makes several years in succession these " birds have coiuo to this placo to roost, a after nesting and summering away up D among the lakes of Minnesota and ad joining country." Tho great pigeon roost in Stokes k county during the year 1857 is well re -0 meuibered. It extended from Moodey's forge on Snow croek to Hairston'r fulls 4 on tbe Dsn, till they betook themselves y to Sauratown mountain. We are told d ot two meo, Joe Duggins t>nd Win. ir Flynt, having shot 1.400 during one ~ night with one gun, also of two men hay ing brought down 105 at two shots. The '* roost lasted from fall to the following winter. ! Tanner's and mnohine oils ot Ashcraft iit Owens Druggists, Winston N.
