we're strangers, waiting at the house Of
a colored friend for boat, told them they

lodged them in the Burlington jail {, one o.

The Lebanon Star Of June %, says;
From personal observation, in almost ev.
cry township in the county, we are full
ly satisfied that even with the most sea,
sonable weather from now till harvest
the growing wheat cannot produce more
than half the ordinary yield. And it is
now equally certain that the deficiency
though not to so great an extent, will be
very heavy throughout the country. In
view Of this, farmers will be able TO esli,
mate the probable rise or fall of prices in
the article of wheat during the coming
agricultural year.

C.NDoR AND MAeNANInTY OF VINO
Ea,ron.--Tho Examiner, in allusiOn to
the Aodilor's statement of receipts and
expenditures, says
"You will see by that list that D. P.
Palmer gets 1924 for publishing for the
Auditor, all Of which we published gratis,
ercept the delinquent lands, which we
did not publish" :"
That is a singular rule Of logic by
which the Examiner maRappIies the word
all 10 small particle, and crcePts the
mass. The fact is, that The Examiner
pablishd nothing for the Auditor graf.
is, except the list Of receipts and exPen.
ditures, and short road lOx notice, for
which we received $9l-a very small
portion ofthe 1924.
The Editor of the Examiner has lately
said much about his Offers TO do the pub
fishing gratis, and has taken considera-
bic pans 10 lei it be known how much
we received therefor. lie might add 10
the information of the public by also sta
ting how much he received from the coun
iy officers ofthis county and Of Adam
county when there was no regular news
paper printed either hero or at West I'm
ion, and tho officers were under The ne
cessit! ofpublishing in the Examiner 70
want Of a more regulaI&legal publication
The people would doubtless like also t
know why he did not then do such pub
Iishing gratis.
Under present circumstances, it
strongly suspected that he has been actu
Hted in this affair for few months pas
entirely by vain hope ofbreaking dow
the Standard, that he might charge what
ever price he pleased for the public ad
veriising, as he did when there was NJ
other paper but The ExOminer published
here.
The county Auditor will scarcely thanI
the Editor of the Examiner for attach
ing bis name TO the garbled list Of re
ceipts and expenditures he has publish
ed, although he does il "gratis." Th
Auditor made out and published the lii
so plain and complete that he who ruT
may read and understand; but the ES
aminer has published ii in such an il
complete shape as to leave the reade
ignorantOf the State of tho Treasury
and do the Auditor great injustice.

says: sls..g
"General Wsshinglon's colored ser,

from greenleel's Point, and followed TO
the grave by large number Of blacks
he was, we understand,at the time Of
his death Id years old, and was for a
number Of years hOsiler to Gen. Wash.

OF the Delaware, ,and at the battles OF
Brandywine and Trenton. Old Gary

Of his patriotic master,and as huRnble
mark Of respect, on his birth day, and in
every military parade, wore an old shad'
belled uniform coat, and three cor

be said Washington gave him. On these
occasions the boys used TO collect a

disarmed them of all thoughts of mis-
chief, and he was always allowed the
honorable privilege Of hobbling in the
rear of the Military, under whose pro-
lection he generally placed himself.

CHEAT AND WHEAT.


A letter in the Patriot to day, dated
"White Hall (Ohio,) June IL, lS43,"
contains this sentence-"A field of my
own, which week ago looked as we'll
as wheat in this season OF the year could
look, now proves 10 be at least half
cheat" The writer is lameul1g the un.
lavorableness Of the season for crops,
but | beg him TO bear in mind thai if his
wheat field "proves to be at least half
cheat" It is because he has sOwn the
seed OF cheat. He must remember, shat,
'whatever he sows, THAT shall he reap"
whether wheat, or cheat, or darnel. or
tares. The inference that appears TO be
intended TO be drawn from the sentence
above quoted and the context Is that the
unfavorableness ofthe season has caus
ed half the wheat TO turn to cheat. So
as farmers continue = TO entertaining
such ideas, so long will at least zone
half" of their crops continue to be cheat,
But it is because they, "cheat" them
selves, aud not that their wheat becomes
cheat. II is time for farmers TO open
their eyes to facts, and 10 cease to de.
lude themselves with the idea that the
season, and not their own carlessness,
T"cheats" them of their crops. What
intend 10 say distinctly, is, that cheat
can only grow its own seed-if this seed
be not IN the ground, and be not sOwn
there will be no cheat, whatever may bt
The season. Ifthe seed Of cheat be il
the ground, or be sown with the wheat
then an uniavorable season will be sure L
produce an abundant crop Of cheat; be-
cause cheat is very hardy plant, anC
wheat delicate one.

MURDER OF THE WARDEN OF
THE STATE PRISON.

tlE . n 1 u hlOON'
Mr.. Lincoln, the much esteemed War
den of the State Prison at Charlestown
was going his rounds through tho differ
ent workshops and yards Of The Prison,
yesterday afternoon, in the discharge Of
his duty, and had stepped into the shop
occupied by the Upholste rers, when one
oflhe convic!s, by tho name OF Albert
Rogers, who had btel for some time
employed there, suddenly rushed upon
him with a sharp knife, and with most
desperate blow stabbed him in the back
ofihe neck, the knife fecntering the spinal
cord. Mr.. Lincoln fell backwards upon
the floor and died instantly.
TIE murderer as soon as he had &C.
complished the CRIME stood still almost
petrifed with horror, his face was pale,
he clasped the knife covered as it was
with blood with firm grip, and his face
exhibited the expression Of fend.
Tie was instantly secured and put In
irons. We are unable to account for the
cause of this crime, which is almost with
out a parallel. The prisoner has, we
learn, maintained for sometime a dog
ged, sullen disposition, and exhibited ap
pearances Of dissatisfaction.
Mr.. Lincoln has filled the station oI
Warden Tor many years, during which
time he has secured the respect and es;
them of the prisoners, and the Prison Dis
cipline Society, He has left, we learn,a "a
large family to mourn his loss.
