showing whether not they were capable Of COM
manding regiment as we'll as of doing company

SCARCITY OF CoRN.-The Raleigh and CASTOR Rail-
road Company, in consideration of the great scarcity
of corn in North Carolina, are charging only half
price on all the corn brought into this State their
road. ,-
public meeting of the citizens of Halifax county,
N. c., was held at Weldon few days ago, at
which the sum of 81 900 was contributed to buy
for the poor. Some idea of the failure of last
years cropin the growing section of North
Carolina, says the Norfolk Hearld, may be formed
from the fact Gas we are informed that the number
of vessels which passed through the Dismal Swamp
Canal in the month of May of the present year was

most of those carrying corn were but partially loaded

TALL WHEAT.-A friend in Smitbield sends us
the folio wing account of some tall wheat. Can't
Wake beat it? or Chatham ? or Alamance? or some
other county? We think it will be hard to beat.
He says
"There is at this time in the store of II. Fl. Hobbs,
two bunches Of wheat, the one placed there by I.
w. Whitley, Esq, measuring six feet one inch in
length, and, the other placed there by A. j. Heath
measuring six feet eight inches in length. This we
consider hard to beat. Messrs. Whitley and Heath,
among the best farmers in the country; and by
the by. the best Democrats. We learn that the
wheat crops in the county generally good. IF
any Of the farmers in this section of the State
beat the wheat above referred to, should like to
hear from them; then we will try again."

LOOK OUT FOR SCOUNDRELSI

On the 9th of this month, between two and three
o'clock in the morning, some scoundrel or scoun-
drels broke open the door of the back shed of my
store By thrustng knife through a small crack
between the two planks, they succeeded in throwing
the cross bar off of the hook and entered the she'd
room without any difficulty; they then took the
window down which was fixed in the partition be-
tween the store and shed. / suppose they were
crossing over the window unfortunately for them,
but in my favor they struck the gun with their head
The gun leaning nail inside the store against
the window. The falling of the gun and the window
alarmed my Bull Dog, and then he made his charge
on the midnight walkers with tremendous fury, and
made them leave without further success they had
only three steps to make and they would be in pos
session of the drawer, which contained eighty dol
lars (the drawer unlocked y but my Komor
knew too well that was asleep, and he soon found
out that some unlimited customers were ransacking
in the store, so he made them leave immediately,
without dscharging their duty, not even giving them
time to carry off the treasure. Through my care
lessness gave them q good chance to make their
fortune that night, but the cowardly scamps fail
ed they will get such another chance in this
place Ny desire is to inform these vagabonds that
hereafter shall be myself the guard, and if ever
l meet with any of them seeking for dishonest en-
ployment in the late hours Of the night to trans
act their business in my store, when every honest
man is slumberng from the hard tolls of the day,
pledge myself-even without asking "How their
families come oni"-thatI will wrap up some of my
Buck-shot in their shirt. tails.
