The farmers in this vicinity were very
much elatcd with the promising apl earance
of their wheat crop in the carly part of this
season, but what change day or even a
few hours can make: their hopes have flown:
the highest expectation now is about half
crop. | heard one man say that everything
was for the best in the diSptnsation Of just
and wise Providence that he would there
fore b. satisfied and try to raise large crop
of buc!;wh,at to make Vi lis loss on wheat
One gcntlcman's wheat was struck so hard
with the rust that it not only killed the stalk
and caused the grain TO shrink, but knocked
the head entirely of and IN some instances,
rooted the stalk out of Tie ground: his timo-
thy and clover therefore grew upvciy fast and
thus surplus Of pasture Is on hand

P. c. REGRETS, Eso.-Dem Su' While
looking over your valuable paper ofSaturday
last, noticed piece fr m a new corrcspon-
dent at Rock Run, Sigucd 'Chfod," in which
he gives quite an animated description of the
.'picllcd" mic at Gilpins Rocks, on the glori-
Gus anniversary of our Independence. AS he
was so sentimental in his praises and compli-
ments to the ladies which composed that
'Poctic mess" will give You a short ac-
count Of the proceedings Of the citizens, of
our quiet little town.
Early in the morning Of the 4th there was
party of the "Shanghais'' started for cloth
er side of Jordan" or as it is more common
ly callcd-"Snakc Island,'' where they spent
very pleasant day, fishing in the sun.
Between two and three o'clock. the great
excursion from Baltimore arrived, on board
the steamer Lancaster. 1t was advertised
that there was to be celebrated cotillion
Band aboard: and exptc ing rich treat from
it, several of our citizens, your humble SER
want among the rest, went down to hear them
play, see the fashions &c. The only music
we lcud was the hoarse, kissing of the esca-
ping steam, and the loud ''pops," as cork af-
ter cork was looscd from the Sarsaparilla bot
ties. But we saw the faslIons-the real Bal
timorc fashions and acted ont to perfection.
There seemed to he two sets of the fashion
ablcs;" one with torn clothes, BACKED eyes,
bloody noses and doing considerable fighting:
while the other party were dccently "good
and drunk" perfectly at home in the kitch-
ell, and occasionally singing somt song in
COMMUNICATION of the glorious fourth.
About four o'clock p. NJ. there were two
separate pic mics started for the grove of Mr..
e. Smith--to spend few hours of recreation
in strollng beneath "'Ihe old forest tree
AS "Jakcy" was not so Fortunate as to get AZ
invitation; Twill give you the following from
one of the party. Arriving at the grove, ono
of the ladies called for the programme, but
having none, one Of the "Young Bloods'
volunteered to write one for the occasion,
which we will give you:
"Oration' by Mr.. S.
Music, My Native Home" by Miss II.

After which, Mr. s. sung "Old Grimes in SC

Mr. EDITOR The glorious fourth was a
great day among us, and we thought it well
to observe it as one of rejoicing and of ten
dering to one another our hearty, and heart
felt congratulations, TO keep in remembrance
time that ought never to be forgotten by any
citizen of the United States.
We had no band of music to 'cnlivcn the
day with its martial strains" but We had de-
1ightful singing, and cloqucnce from the stand
in abundance.
The Sabbath School with number of the
citizens assembled at the church, and then
repaired to the woods of Mr. John B. Shippers.
Shortly after the arrival of the school, came
the Sons of Temperance. clad with their re-
gala fully implying that they still held on
10 their old principles, LOVE, PURITY and
FIDELITY. ~
Rev. j. Shields was chosen to preside over
the meeting, Rev. ii. T. Johns OF Dover. Del,
opened the meeting with prayer. Mr.. Thos.
S. Thomas then read the Declaration of indie
pcndence; after which we were very happily
entertained during the day with spccch,s
from the following Rev. gentlemen, Rcvs. J.
Flanery and Lewis of Newark, Del; Rev. II.
Il. Johns, Dover, Del, Rev. w. Alullin of n.
jersey and Rev. F. Harvey formerly of Cecil.
The friends were very generous in providing
an excellent dinner for the guests, and before
and after dinner when we would not be lis
tcning to the orators, we would partake of the
swcetmeats, lemonade and ice cream which
were there in abundance. Thus closed the
day among us, day most agrccaby spent
by all who were present.
On the 1lth inst, the citizens of Charles.
town made general rally, prepared their
boats, and sailed across the river, and landed
on Mr.. Joseph Wingatc's property, not fal
from the shore, under some stately oaks
where they spent the day, in eating, drinking
laughing, talking, swinging and hearing We
had speech by Rev. I. b. Miller, and every
one present appeared to enjoy themselves very
much; and how could it be otherwise fol
there was very agreeable company. .,

TIE WHEAT CRoP.-The farmers i'll our
State have very generally succeeded in sccu-
ring the wheat crop. The expectations en-
tertancd in regard to the yield will hardly
be realized. That which was first ready for
the sickle filled well, the grain being round
and plump; but much of that whichwas later
in ripcning, was badly hurt by the mildcw,
and the yield will fall short onc-half, and the
grain be rather inferior. Indeed the crop is
scarcely an average one, Notwithstanding the
great promise given in the carly part of the
season. Some are already thrcshing, and
new wheat from this State will soon be in the
market; indeed sales have already been effect
cd to some extent at $50 to $l.60 per BUSH
81. Old wheat brings $l.70 at Brandywine.
Last year the price started at 81, and many
sold out at that ligure,-quitc difference
between that and the present price. The
oats are turning and will soon lie ready for
cutting. The crop we believe, will prove
tolerably fair opc.-Del. Rep.
