The Wheat CrOD.
June 81, 1851.

1t must be gratifying to all persons especially to
those OF us who have tens of thousands of dol
lars going to the North for Corn and Flour to know
that the Wheat crop just harvested, is very fine in
all parts of the State from which we have heard
In this county, Moore, Chatham, and Montgomery,
our verbal accounts agree with those receive from
the Ashborough, Salem, Greensborough, and Eliza
beth City papers, that the crop is most bountiful
one, and the quality of the grain very superior
This is something to be thankful for Bread has
been very dear during the past year in this agrcul-
tural State, which has imported largely instead of
exporng,-a least in this part of the State IF the
Corn crop be equally good the Wheat, it will be
year of plenty.-FayetteUWe Observer.
The last week has been most favorable season
for harvesting Wheat; and we doubt not that the
largest and best crop of wheat has been reaped that
has ever been knOwn.-Greens6oro Patriot

PATENT BUGGY:-A Buggy was exhibited here
improvement g in that line" The improvement was
patented by Mr.. Hubbard in 1850, and has not of
course yet been introduced into general use The
new buggy is remarkable for the simplicity of its
construction it is said be put up cheaper than
those IN common use and makes more easy going
vehicle The whole coupling gear, including the
fifth wheel" ct cetera, are dispensed with. The
body simply rests four springs single bars, two of
them connected with the fore-axle at the middle and
the other two fastened on the hind-axle near the
wheels 1t is one of those simple contrivances that
makes everybody wonder that nobody thought of it
before: We understand that our townsman, Mr.. w.
McElroy, has purchased the right for the State of
North Carolina Greensboro Patriot
