Wheat REAPryG Extract from private letter to
the Editor ofthe Milton Chronicle dated Yanceyvlle,
June 23d: f-s-c
I'VE all went to see George Willamson's (McCor-
mick's s. Reaper perform last Wednesday. l believe
1t is the first reaper ever put to work in our Coun
ty. The lots selected for trial consisted of three in
number, all containing about l6 OF IL acres, of as
good, genuine wheat aswas ever grown in this sec
ton of the State 1t worked like a charm. To use
the language of our old friend Abner Miles, show
could it be forced to cut bcttcrf" 1t cut as fast
you wanted it and not head left. There were some
90 and odd of tn: neighbors present, who
greatly delighted both with the cutter and the wheat
and great deal so with the Bill Of Fare. The
best brandy and finest dinner have seen for
son-al the luzuries that we'll managed farm
yield were in abundance: When the crowd left some
exclaimed 'hurra for the Reaper" some shouted for
the wheat and some for the Ham mad Lamb, but says
"hurra for the brandy, free suffrage and the Tenn
perauce ticket"

We record, with feelings Of sincere sorrow, the
death of Alpheus Jones, Esq, of this County. He
expired at his residence on the 4th inst, after lin
gering illness of consumption.
Mr.. Jones was young man, probably net over
thirty -four years of age. Though educated for the
legal profession and with fair prospects of success
and distinction lawyer, he preferred the calmsr
and more quiet walks of life, and turned his atten-
ton to Agriculture He was one of the best and
most systematic farmers in the State He was a
scholar, gentleman, and an honest man.
"Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of our early days:
None knew thee but to love thee,
Or named thee but to praise"
Modest, amiabe, learned-a scientific agricutu-
rist-a patriotic, public-sprited citzen-the pride
and ornament ofhi family, his death will be deeply
mourned, and the less occasioned by it will not be
soon supplied.

BEWARE OF INCENDIARIES!

We learn that an attempt was made on Wednes-
day morning last about six o'clock, to fire the resi-
dence of James McKmmon, Esq, of this place.
The fire was fortunately discovered before it had
made serious progress, and extinguished. Had the
attempt been made an hour earlier, the house would
probably have been consumed to the imminent
danger of the family. We trust the demon i'll human
form who made this attempt will be ferretted out and
brought to condign punishment We learn that a
reward of three hundred dollars will be given for
the discovery of the guilty person or persons.
A few weeks since, learn, negro man be-
longing to MIR. McKimmon made his escape on the
stage West, having what purported to be free pa
pers. He had got within days journey or SO ef
the State of Ohio, when he was noticed and ques-
toned by stage-driver formerly the line from
Raleigh; and this led to his apprehension. He has
been restored to his MASTER and is in Jail in this
place.

thct distant colony of farmers, shepherds and
seekers for sod-has voted $4,000, in order
to be better represented at Paris than it was
at London. The Duke of Newcastle has
written to all the Colonies, to stimulate the
preparations for sending goods to the Exhi-
biton. Anidca may be formed of the SYM
pathetic movement which will bring the En-
glish population TO France, by the sole fact,
that the workmen of Norwich have been for
some months putting each small sum apart,
in order to realize fund to enable them to
come en- masse to Paris. Everything announ-
ces that England will respond worthily to the
appeal which France has addressed to her for
the great industrial competition of 1855.
