lying in Montgomery county, Maryland, few

forty four bushels of Monument wheat. He is
of the opinion that had it not been for the great
number of heads wasted and taken away by
persons passing along, the yield would have
reached fifty bushels.

This paper is now firmly established. 1t is
independent. 1t comments with freedom upon
every topic, asks and expects no favors, tells
the truth without fear, favor, or affection, and
has been pronounced ga terror to evil-doers."
1t has been thought by many that newspaper
could not exist in Washington independent OF
the public patronage. The TELEGRAPH will
probably solve this problem--or at least it will
possess no such patronage not voluntarily given,
