tons at least; but let us hope from the wide
extent of our grain fields, there may be plenty
for ALL"
So do we hope, but still we can see no good
reason for any rejoicing at present prospects.
The Register, published at Indiana, Pa. has
flattering item of the appearance of wheat in
that region. 1t was in that same region that
the red weeyil DEVASTATED the country. The
La'0rencedurg Qa.) Press says that the cold
in March has injured the wheat on fiat clay
land. In many fields the withered plants may
be scraped up in handfuls. The dry weather
of April will be equally fatal to all such fields.
The Lafayette American says that the wheat
crop promises well in that section. We earn.
estly hope it will fulfill its promise all over the
country, for upon that does the salvation from
suffering of thousands of the labGrlng poor de-
pend. We again urge it as duty upon every
cultivator of the soil to increase, by every pos
sible means, the area of his planting the present
season.

The Bars Sealed,

Our taverns, after a most successful run,
closed their bars on Saturday night last, we
hope, forever. We believe they are destined
to remain in Statu quo. The public has become
SO aroused to the evils which they entail upon
the community that the moral, intelligent, law
abiding and order-loving portion of the citizens
have arisen spontaneously, and with one voice,
for the suppression of the traffic. We will not
attempt to depict the amount of misery wretch
edness and crime that have emanated with, and
proceeded from these bars. Boldly has their
concomitant evils stalked through our streets.
entered our dwellings, and brought desolation
and sorrow in our own househOld-all are cog
infant of the dread effects produced, for the
bloated face, the deadened eye, the tattered
garments, and the vilencss of speech have been
daily brought before US. Who does not rejoice
that We are soon to be rid of such reign of
distraction! Who would have them continued,
and gloat in their wretchedness in preference
to glorious reign of peace! We know thai
the people are ready to uphold and sustain their
right, by loyalty, to law which promises so
many blessings.
AS might be expected, Saturday night gave
rise to "high time" among the practitioners,
who assembled in great zest, and in much out
burst Of feeling, to pay their last alteration to
their king upon his final departure, er necessi-
tate rel, from the place in which he had SO long
ruled in absolute authority.
70 In the closing of these bars, source of great
amount of drinking is cut off-the effects of
which will soon be felt.
1t is great cause of regret that there should
be any place in this vicinity where liquor can
be obtained. We shall not be rid of it entirely
until next October, as the license of the rum
shop at the Landing does not expire until that
time. The Landing will, doubtless, be favo-
rite resort for drunken negroes, and others, s,who
will visit that place under the cover Of night
Their glory cannot last long at the farthest.
