sT TIE Although the weevl has
severely injured the wheat crop in this neigh
borhood, and in some of the adjoining coun-
ties, still, we have reason to believe that the
injury is not as serious nor as extensive as
some imagine. IF even the crop Of the whole
State was failnre, it would have no great
effect upon the supply or the price in the
city markets. In some Of the States the
crops are larger and heavier than usual. On
an average, We have no doubt, the crop oi
this year is fully equal TO that Of last. We
anticipate no such high prices as are talked
Of by some who imagine that few counties
or even the whole State, can materially affect
prices. We have no doubt that before the
close Of the year, wheat will be selling
again at 81 so per bushel.

Sheriff Weise, who purchased the "Law-

adding an additional story to his Hotel, with

Of the days events. The morning of the

which by the way is an old csr-axle bored
out.) However it did very well when we
had no other. We also had q parade of the
Fantastcals in full uniform, and with q
splendid banner, on which they had inscribed:
"Ihe Scrusendyike artillery and Bungto,cn
Battaliion." They created quite sensation.
it being the first time they have appeared in
this place. In the afternoon the Odd Eel
lows paraded about the town, preceded by
our new Brass Band, after which they march
ed to the grove, out of town, and listened to
an excellent address, delivered by your fellow
townsman, Gen. Clement, after which they
returned and partook of a supper prepared
for them at ii. b. Weaver's Hotel. Oul
Brass Bard, under the leadership of Thomas
Foulds, jr., acquitted themselves very well
for the short tune they have their instru
