to increase the quantity of silver change
has passed the Senate; 1t is the bill to au-
thoriZe the branch minis ia Georgia and
N. Carolina to coin silver change Of the
denominations of twenty-five cents, ten
cents, and five cents. These branches
were originally intended to coin gold only,
but it is found that the same machinery
which will strike half eagles and quarter
eagles, will also strike the smaller pieces
of silver, and that no additional expense
will be incurred bv this extension.-GlObe.

GREENv1LLE, S. c., June 23.--Our
farmers never had better time for har-
vesting their wheat, than this week, and
they have made good use of it, Contrary
to our expectations, the lecent heavy rains
have not injured this crop in the least, so
far as we can learn. A highly respecta-
Bile gentleman from the country informed
US the other day, that it was his opinion
there had not been as much good wheat
raised in the upper country SINCE 1916 &
we believe his remarks are correct.
At Lowell, the Sunday Schools cele-
brated the 4th by appropriate Services

t grove of oaks, and it is computed that
. 5000 persons were present. Reports on
$ the condition of the schools were read,
