ANCIENT WHEAT.-Two years ago. a
scientific gentleman, in making archHoloei.
cal researches, in some of the ancient torribs
in the South Of France. found imbedded
with some preserved bodies species Of
wheat not now in existence. II was l,ab.

place in the coffin of embalmed persons a
certain quantity Of wheat. Some of this
wheat was sown. and the gentleman was
astonishea 10 see sprout forth from sixteen
TO twenty stalks from grain. As they
grew, the stalks became angular and much
stronger and more vigorous than the com.
mon wheat. When the grain formed, IL
was found that there were on an ayeracs
twenty more grains in head than in the
ordinary wheat. A considerable quantity
OF this ancient Gallie or Roman wheat was
sown last fall on the Government farm at
RambouIlet, and great reports are arriving
OF its productiveness. The ordinary wheat
OF France is, suspect, only the degeners.

vigor and productiveness by the centuries
OF reproduction through which II had pass.

through fourteen centuries for our seed

possession Of one-eighih moro agricultural
wealth than she possessed before the dis.

built upon it, and it is to be hoped that
they viii be realized.

STATE RIGHTS.

The CRowD AT CINcINNArI.-The
Cincinnati papers of Monday morning
all concur in stating that an immense
throng Of strangers were in that city on
Saturday and Sunday last. The Column
bian says:
son entering the city streets yester-
day Sunday morning, after breakfast,
the first observed shadow cast before by
coming events was the crowded streets.
There was popularity about the crowds
they were composed almost exclusively
of men--so scarce were petticoats that
sort of analogy was established, for the
moment, between Cincinnati and Con-
stantinople, where the women generally
are locked up in harems. During Sat
urday, every avenue to the city poured
in its stream--the evening train on the
Little Miami railroad alone consisted of
thirteen cars crowded with passengers.
The various hotels were OVERLOOKING no
room--'not bed-sorry, sir, but it
can't be donc'-were words iterated and
reiterated by the clerks of most Of the
hotels"
A list Of some fifteen hotels is given,
at which the arrivals from Saturday
morning to Sunday moraing ranged from
so to 327. Among the strangers were
Col. Benton, of Mo-, Hon. John APP
plcton, OF Me-, the secretary Of Mr..
Buchanan at London, Col. Parker II.
French, the rejected Minister from Nj
caragua, Col. Ben Mccullough, the Texan
hero, Mr.. Brooks, of South Carolina,
and various others, including Captain
Rynders and Tom Hyer. The Column

COUNTY ADVERTISEMENTS
LEAvITT,s LATEST IMPROVED
corn And GGB MILL.
Yoalng Aamerica ExceIsiOr.

TENHE attention of the Farmers of
n Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILL. for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Mcal-IIorse feed gen
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
1t is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use Of ground
food, because of its more easy and complete
digestion.
1t is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
at less cost by the use of food so prepared.
But while these principles OF true economy are
so generally understood many have been un-
willing oprocure suitable Mills, because oftheiI
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public, with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the Mill, in
grinding for the use of an average sized farm
win wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the Little Giant,
" Grdnger's Magic MILL" etc.
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obyated, as il is Ia Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates, 1.-THE only parts
that wear OUT being two detached rings cast
seperate from the main and expensive parts Of
the Mill, each boltcd on with three small bolts,
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at a cost only SO.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
in nse, that the regulating of the iineness Of
grinding is done by simply turning one central
set screw The meal instead Of being scattered
around as in other mills is brought out at one
spout and nc weight is required on the rearend
Of the sweet as balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all others Of
the kind.
This mill will grind from to 20 bushels per
hour, according to fineness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50, including an extra set Of grind
ing places making it equal to two ordinary
Mills. They will be promptly delivered at any
point on the Railroad or in the District OF
Columbia, freight from Baltimore added.
Orders by mail promptly attended to.

SERIOUS AFFAIR IN ARKANSAS Three
Men Shot.-A few days ago a terrible
ARRAY occurred at Helena, Ark, in which
four men named Rice, Hindman Merritt
and Claiborne figured The Memphis
Wing has the following particulars
The parties met in front of Myett &
Moore's store. Mr. Rice in company
with his brother-in-law, DR.. Merritt,
had been there for some time waiting for
Hindman. About 10 o'clock Hindman
passed, in company with Claiborne.
Mr.. Rice stepped to the door and asked
Hindman if he was the author of the ar
ticlc in the Democrat. He made no
answer, but put his hand in his bosom
to draw his revolver; Rice also drew
single barrel pistol, and both fred stimuli
taneously. Rice was not wounded; Hind
man was struck in the right breast, the
ball coming out of his back near the
shoulder blade. 1t is supposed that the
ball passed through his body, but our in
formant could not positively say whether
such was the case, or whether the ball
passed around his body, being diverted
by the bones. 'Ilindman fired several
other shots at Rice, none of which took
effect. DR.. Merritt was standing in the
door Of the store looking on, when Hind
man fred at him, the ball passing through
his bowels; DR.. NJ then turned to go
in the store, when Claiborne fred at him i,
the ball taking effect in his back.
Merritt then turned again, and, rest
ing his pistol on his left arm, fred at
Claiborne, the ball striking him on the
left side, just above the. waist, and pass
ing through lodged under the skin on
the right side. Hindman then stepped
back some twelve or fifteen steps, and
called on them to come out and fight it
out, and Claiborne then raised cry for
''shot guns" which it appears We're pro-
vided near by in anticipation of an affray.
A Mr.. Palmer was approaching with a
double barreled shot gun, when he was
stopped by Mr.. Castle. Rice, on seeing
Palmer approach, and having no weapon
ran to the house of his friend, Major
Balwin, where he had been informed he
could get gun. On getting a gun he
returned 10 the street, but had no oc-
easion to use it, the opposing parties
having fallen from exhaustion occasioned
by their wounds and the interference of
their friends.
Mr.. Rice was not injured, and left
llelena,in the evening for his home in
the country Mr.. Hindman's condition
was considered somewhat favorable,
though still precarious. DR.. Merritt and
Mr.. Claiborne are considered mortally
wounded, though DR.. NJ thinks he will
recover The recovery of Claiborne is
scarcely possible.
