DEFICIENCY IN THE WHEAT CROP
OF MARYLAND.

The farmers in this and the adjoining coun-
tries are now, and have been for several
weeks past, engaged in threshing out their
gram We have received accounts from
very many o them, and all confirm the i'm
preston which had erygenerally prevailed,
mat a half crop would not be realized. The
largest yield which we have yet heard ofhas
been about six bushels to the one of seed
ing, while in many cases not three have
been realized. This is certainly a greater
failure than we have known before. We
bear that the same deficiency prevails on the
Eastern Shore, and in the upper counties
OF tne state. In the latter, a fair crop was
at n time anticipated, but the 'sturn out''
mas proved thata very small average crop
will be raised. We do not know what NAV
be the case ia other States, but as to Mary
land, it is not certain that one half of a crop
cannot be raised.-Marlboro' MAJ Ga

clean it only b pouring in water, and shak-

DANGERS OF POETS.

The earthly path of a poet i
not always strown with roses; but danger
unlocked for, beset him round and spring
upon him unawares.
Take as an example the followingItory
which is not entirely ~fcticious.
AS a we'll known poet of the present cen.
fury sat in his study, pen in hand, a mar
rushed in and threw Himself into a chair
with every appearance of agitation. After
a moment of speeches. woe he sighed out.
an a most miserable husbands
The poet expressed his surprise at this
unexpected confidence from a stranger, and
he, after another deep sigh, explained him
self as follows:
"Less than three years ago l married a
beautiful woman, and every thing promised
me a life ofsingular happiness, although my
wife was twentyyears younger than myself;
but soon very soonit became apparent that
there was less similarity between our tastes
and pursuits, than our ages. My wife was
romantic, fantastic, and was floated in the
regions Of fancy, while l pIodded on the
earth, and thought only of supplying her
wants.
"Things went on in this way till one day
my wife disappeared, leaving me a letter,
containing the following words:-sWe can
never understand each other; l break the
chain and fyfrom thee forever"
The poet looked compassionately at the
bereaved husband; but not understanding.
why he had been chosen for his confident,
he remained silent. /
"Where mas my wife gomez" said the stran-
ger, after a pause,
81 do not know" answered the poet.
"Neither do l." said the stranger; but |
Am sorely wronged and distressed. l must
have satisfaction, and have come to YOU for
it.
10 me-" said the astonished poet.
Yes to you! you have written a cursed
book that my wife red night and day. This
very book was left on her dressing-table,
beside her farwell letter. 1t was opened at
Q place where passionate love was des-
c'ioed. In short, you are answerable for
me wretchedness, and as l cannot overtake
the fugitives, l will have satisfaction from
you: What weapons do you choos.?' /
The poet attempted in vain to convinced
the stranger of the injustice and unreasona- '
6leness ofhis proceeding. Nothing would
DO but a combat hand to hand. They met
accordingly but before they had proceeded;
70 deadly acts, one of the seconds, who had
failed to appear in season, came hastily to
the field with the intelli yence that the faith
less wife was wandering on the banks of
the lake.
every well" exclaimed the husband, "It
will 60 to the lake; but if l do not find her
6etrayer | shall come back to you for ~satis-
faction; for satisfaction | will have"
Whether the bereaved found his unfaith-
ful wife, we do not know; but the poet, who
has a mortal aversio IN to d%uelling, started from
the field, on a long journey.

DEATH BY FIRE-WATERvILLE, NY.
Extract OF a letter dated WaterviIle, Onei-
da Co. N. Y.-A mos terrible and heart
rending calamity be!el our neIghborhood
last nigh, between 8 and 10 o'clock. The
dwelling house of Timothy Leonard, near
the old Dyer house on Tassel Hill, was
burned 10 the ground with all its con-
tents, together with three wagons and Two
sIeighs, which were under the wood
house. But the sad part of the calamity
is, that Mr.. Leonard, his wife, and a
daughter of Mr.. Woodward, about IL
years old, persisted in the flames. Their
charred and shapeless remains were taken
out OF The ruins about 10 o'clock this
morning. Every soul in the house was
burned. None are left 10 tell the manner
10 which the house took fire, nor any par.
t~iculars relating TO the c~atastrophe.-
From the appearance Of the bodies, it
would appear that Leonard and the girl
struggled desperately with their fate. but
Mrs. l. was found near the bed on which
she SLEPT. The family are known 10 have
retired before 9; the fire must have caught
soon after that hour. The wind blew a
gale from the south !; not a neighbor dis
covered the fire till the roof fell in, and at
10 o'clock not a sick was standing. A
deep gloom res,s on our community.-N,
