unoccupied.
The Rev. DR.. Durbin, the distinguished
Divine and Tourist, made the opening
prayer. The Anthem, "Praisc the God
of Isra el," followed.
The Rev. Alferd Goodman, the Pastor,
formerly of Harrisburgh, read the Scriptu'

DR. Durbin then preached the dedicate
ry sermon.

THE WHEAT CRoP. THE Ohio Cultiva-
tor publishes letters from various counties
in Ohio, embracing the principal wheat
growing sections, and the letters concur in
saying that the breadth of ground covered
with.wheat is from ond third to one-fourth
less than an average. This is accounted
for by the fact that the long drouth of last
summer and fall prevented the ploughing
of sod lands, and fall sowing was therefore
confined to stubblc and corn lands Re
sort will be had, as farias possible, to the
sowing of spring wheat; but as the growing
of that variety ofwheat has not been com
mon in Ohio, seed is scarce. In the coun-
ties of Western Pennsylvania there is an
increased breadth of ground covered with
wheat this@@year. All accounts concur in
representing the growing crop to be in mag
nifcent condition. No previous season has
ever given better promise than the present
one.

Melancholy Suicide.

A young and beautiful married lady,
Mrs Mary Girard committed suicide last
Saturday in New York, at the residence of
her husband, Edward Girard, Jr, by cut
ting her throat with razor. The Express
says;
She stated to servant, short time be-
fore committing the act, that she was 60
ing to take walk, and the servant suppos-
ed she had gone, but upon going into one
Of the apartments about o'clock in the
afternoon, found her mistress lying upon
the floor with her throat cut, and dead, and
the razor lying beside her. The deceased
has been married rather less than u year
was possessed of much personal beauty, and
had large circle of friends. She was the
only daughter, and her mother resided with
her. 1t appeared in evidence that for a
long time past the deceased had been af-
Aicted with a nervous affection, which was
hereditary in her mothers family, and
that she had been in the habit of rising from
bed on some occasions, as many as twenty
times in single night, for the epurpose of
shaking off heEnervous feelings. She was
also encicnte at the time, but did not COM
plain ofsufering, and seemed cheerful and
happy. The jury rendered verdict of su-
eide, committed while laboring under
a temporary fiji of insanity.

Raising Calves.

A Ncw Metlod.-While on short Wis
it to the farm of Mr.. D. NJ. Crowell, of
this town, few days ago, our attention
was drawn to aplan of raising calves for
early sale, which to us, in this section Of
the country, has the appearance of novelty,
and seems worthy of the consideration of
stock growers.
Mr.. Crowell took his calves Gall hcifers)
last spring, and commenced feeding on
sour milk at a few days old, keeping them
on the same kind of food during the sum-
mer, taking good care to feed them uni
formly, but not very abundantly, so as to
keep them growing thickly without forcing
them too rapidly In the fall they were
put in the stable, and fed on hay, and a
little meal, increasing the quantity of the
latter gradually, with view Of Citing them
for "Beef,' in the spring at one year old
or little under.
These ten calves look like young oxen,
and are estimated to weigh about three
hundred pounds each, alive. They will
probably be sent to market soon, say next
month, when we shall see how much "Beef
will sell, and if it will be rclishcd by the
lovers of good eating For ourselves We
should hardly find it in our hearts to de-
cline dinner from one of the best of them
We understood from Mr.. G., who is ma
king this trial by way of experiment, tina
he is quite satisfied thus far with the pres
ent attempt to raise beef in one year, an(
that be intends to renew the experimen
another year, when he thinks some i'm
provement can be made.-Ncp York Far
