Williams, Of this county, whose reputation as a

public importan e to justify il. While he would OBJ

cause, we do not believe he would desire it to be
withheld when necessary to give force and command
respect for important facts.
1t will be seen that Dr. Williams states that Kan

ELoPEMENr IN HIGH LrFE.-We understand that
an affair came off last night, in which the lady
of one of our most prominent merchants, becoming
tired Of her liege lord, sought the company of .
favored swain, and together they proceeded to en-.
Joy the pleasures Of ride down the road. The
happy couple had departed but short time, when
the deserted husband, discovering his loss, gath.
cred together few friends, and in the language Of
the immortal Scott,
There mounting ong the Graemes Of the Netherby
clan,
Fosters Fenwicks and Musgrayes they rode and they
ran,
but with rather better success than in the above
case, for after short chase they found the happy
pair snugly situated in summer house at Col. Sc.
cams several miles below the city, and in the full
enjoyment OF an interesting tete a-tete.
The party entered boldly, headed by the injured
husband, and in the dim light we're not recognized
by the lady or her happy companion, until after q
formal Introduction; mutual concessions were
made, which ended in the lady agreeing to return
with her deserted husband to his once happy
home.-Cincinnati Tines, July Is.

From the Richmond Wing July Is.
ting good price for their wheat crop this year.
We have heard of no sales Of new wheat in the
Richmond market yet. In Fredericksburg and
Alexandria few sales have been quoted at from
81 so to 81 20 per bushel. The market will soon
open here, however, and our millers will be expected
to pay handsome prices They will have active
competitors in Fredericksburg and Alexandria.
Both Of those places have made pretty bold start

kes will doubtless, be greater than it was last Sea.
SOP. New mills have been erected, and the demand
for wheat will be necessarily increased.
We are not aware that any new wheat has been
offered in this market but our mllers should open
the market at the most liberal prices they can afford
to give. Farmers will not be easily satisfied this
year az they were last. They will hold up for the
to come in for fair share osthe profits spectators
are able to make their CROPS. The rates Of 81 so
per bushel will hardly be 80 strong temptation to
sss% to se sse as y 70 was in the
profit by the lesson they had taught them then, in
selling too early, and will take good care to hold
back this year TO get the highest price the market
will command. The great danger now, is that they
may hold back too much and miss the mark. Two
dollars bushel we think would be a very safe SALE
and we would suggest to our millers to put ND the
price at once to that notch.
From the accounts have Of the crop Of thi,
country it appears that the yield win be an average
one. In places 1t has been very much injured by

but throughout the whole country the accounts are
