Tnr WHEAT CRoP on THE EAsTERS SHORE.
The Centrtvlie (Md.) Times states thst
the farmers of that county still complain of
the ravages ofthe fly. Some of them do not
expect to make enough wheat TO pay for the
seed sown. Nor is this the case in that
county alone. The Talbot and Dorchester
papers state that the crops in those counties
are very materially injured by the Ny and the
worm. The grand jury of Talbot county
court, last week, unanimously gave it as their
opinion, that the crop in that county would
be less than one-hnlf of fair crop. Many
fields have been entirely destroyed.

PIRATES IN THE 1EvANr.-Thc pirates
are beginning to re-appear on the waters of
the Levant. They carry their audacity so
far that they have actually come up close
to the city of Smyrna in search of booty,
which they have succeeded in carrying off
safely in the very teeth of an Austrian man.
of-war. They take good care never to
come near any vessels carrying the English,
French or Russian flag, and attack only
those from whom they do not apprehend re-
prisals. AS the Austrian commerce suffers
greatly from this scourge, part of the war
fleet, composed of frigate, two steamers
and two corvettes, are to be sent shortly to
make crusade against these formidable
pirates. Naples is likewise to send several
vessels.

FROM THE BLUFFs.-The Robert Camp
bell returned yesterday from Council Bluffs.
She left on the 22d inst; river falling quite
fast, with four feet water to St. Joseph, and
below with fair stage to the mouth. The
health Of the emgfants at the Bluffs was
generally very good. The Campbell buried
one passenger--a Mormon-on the tr p up.
Flour had been selling at the Bluffs as high
as $40 per barrel, but wns lower when she
left; salt 10 cents per pound. The place
was still crowded with emigrants. Five
hundred teams, it was computed, were there
and making preparations for start across
known as Winter Quarters, at short dis
tance above the Bluffs, ferrying emigrants
across the river at the rate of $40 for a wag-
on and four yoke Of cattle. The Campbell
tried it one day and made 5000, but business
getting dull she quit. The Ell Paso will
continue as long as the business pays, per-
haps some two weeks longer. An Indian
had arrived at the Bluffs, bringing informa-
ton to Mr.. Sarpoe that in difficulty that
occiirred on Luke river, about one hundred
and fifty miles from the Bluffs, between q
party of Pawnee Indians and body of emi.
grants, three of the former and one emigrant
were slain. The Indians, he stated, ap.
preached the emigrants' camp in a body, but
with no hostile intention. They were mo.
toned to keep of, but mistaking the signs
continued 10 advance, and the cmigrants
fred upon them. This affair it was feared
would lead to more fearful and tragic consc.
quences. The Campbell brought down Q
very light freight.-S. Louis InteHigeRcer.

WHAT Is a FORA Mr.. Stark, in a lcc-
tire before tlit Young Mems Association at
Troy, New York, thus defines fop:
"The fop is a complete specimen of an
outside philosopher. He is one-third collar,
one-sixth patent leather, one-fourth walking
stick, and the rest kid gloves and hair, As
to his remote ancestry there is some doubt,
but it is now pretty we'll settled that he is
the son Of tailor's goose. He becomes
ecstatic at the smell of new CLOTH He is
somewhat nervous, and to dream Of tailors
bills gives him the nightmare. By his hai-,
one would judge he had been dipped like
Achilles; but it is evident that the goddess
must have held him by the head instead orthe
heel. Nevertheless, such men are Useful
IT there were no tadpoles there would be no
frogs. They are not so entirely to blame
for being devoted to externals. Paste dia-
monds must have a splendid setting to make
them sell. Only it does seem to be waste
of material, to put five dollars worth of bea-
yer on five cents worth of brains.

give him officers and men. Mr.. Peabody,
an American banker, now at London, has

DEAFNESS CURED.-Hon. Daniel Baldwin,
of Montpelier, Vermont, had daughter who
became very deaf at three years Of age. and
remained SO until eighteen. She was then
cured by the combined juice of onion and
tobacco. The tobacco was placed within
the onion, which was then roasted and the
juice was dropped into the ear.
DROUGHT AT THE EAsT.-The Maine pa
pers complain Of a long continued drought u
that State. The Bangor papers say that
the forests continue on FIRE to the eastward
of that city and that great damage hss8ean
done. The Hallowell Cultiyator Ions,gers
the month Of May to have been the driest since
1906.

MURDER WILL OUr.-The St. Louis
News says that man calling himself Mil
Ter, but whose real name is said to be Penn
berton, was arrested in Henry county, Iowa,
few days since, upon a requisitOn from
the Governor of Kentucky. He stands in
dicted for murder, alleged to have been
committed some ten or twelve years ago in
Kentucky, from which State he fled, soon
after his arrest, and under an assumed name
settled in Henry county, where he is said
to have conducted himself peaceable and TO
have accumulated handsome property
He has wife and several children.
SILLY LAVA letter from Paris to the
Philadelphia Ledger, says that tm ing the
laws lately put forth was one requiring ad-

NJ. Alexandra Thomas, distinguished Pro-
fessor of History in the University of France,
refused (t is said) to obey this decree; so he
is professor no longer, and advertses to
give course ofeigbt lectures in London
The object of this barbarous law is 10 keep
up the distinction between military and
civil life-to enrei9ment France.

COLONIZATION NOTICE.

THE VESSEL heretofore advertised to sail
from Norfolk. Virginia, the lst November,
will be postponed to the 18th November. This de-
lay is rendered necessary in consequence of the
vessel, the Ralph Cross, not yet having returned
from Liberia; and also by the fact that many
persons have applied for passage in her that we
shall be obliged to send tipo vessels to accommo-
date them. We have received Glready the names
Of 4s3 applicants for passage in said vessel, while
she cannot comfortably carry more than 225. Many
|of these persons live in North and South Carolina
We have therefore determined to send vcsse:
from Wilmington, North Carolina; to sail the Goth
November. This will be the first expedition ever
fitted out from that port.
The present exhausted state OF our funds will
mot allow us send out all Of the above applicants
We have promised a passage TO $50, and the mo-
|ney to pay their expenses has yet all To be collect
Jed We therefore appeal to our friends to come 10
our help, and that right speedily.
We expect to send vessel from New Orleans the
|20th December, and one from Savannah soon
thereafter as circumstances will justify.
