HAMILTON County WnEAr.-We have received
from MIR. II. ID. Hills of Springdale, some speci-
men Wheat which would astonish even the natives.
IL is Mediterranean, with stalks about six feet
high, and heads bending over with kernals. sixty
acres OF this wheat averaged thirty five bushels
ger acre If any body can beat that let them
come on Mr.. Hills is also q good breeder OF
stock.-Cin. Gaz.
The Wheat of the Miami country is now cut
and we hazard nothing in saying it will acreage
twenty-five bushels per acre much of it a good
deal more. In the distribution of crops, wheat,
potatoes, and barley have been more largely plant
ed grass about the same, and corn rather dimi-
nuted.
METHODIST PROTESTANT CHuRcH.-From the
following remarks of the Methodist Protestant, we
have a hint that there is in prospect n division OF
the next General Conference of the Methodist Pro-
testant Church on the question OF slavery. IL
says:
as there any probability that at the next Cen
eral Conference the Methodist Protestant Church
will dieideP If by division is meant official action
recognizing q separation, we think not. There
may be secession, but why should there be official
division If a portion of the West will not send
representatives to the General Conference, and
shall thus signify their intention to withdraw al
church relation from us, thei r act will nc simply
ro%tuniary secession from the Methodist Protestant
Church"

A MILLIONAIRE BEFORE A MAGIsTRATE-NIcH-
oLAs LoNGwoRTH ARREsTED-HIs CATAwBA WINE
AT IssuE-DR. Cox ExCITED.-As we mentioned
last week, DR.. Hiram Cox las declared his deter
imitation to do his duty as a regularly appointed
Inspector Of Liquors at all hazards to prevent the
good people of Ohio from being poisoned in the
mysterious manner peculiar to the time of the
Borgias. The venerable Doctor has found consid-
cradle trouble in inducing parties to submit to an
inspection said parties protesting against his
judgment and knowledge, and asserting his unfit
ness for his office.
On Saturday The Doctor had q warran. issued
for the arrest Of Nicholas ~Longworth. who had re-
fused to allow the Inspector to examine his ia
nous Catawba Wines. "Old Nick" as he is some
times called in pleasantly, was found working in
his grapery, but had to come, and did come, before
Esquire Fisher, ard there give bail for his appear
ance in the Sum of $500, next Saturday James
L. Elliot going his security.
Mr.. ~Longworth was indignant against Father
Cox, and told him repeatedly and passionately that
he was a ~jackass, and would, we believe, had he
been a little younger and Cox not quite so old,
have given the Doctor an idea of the noble and
manly art of self-defense." Matters looked very
several times for a pugilistic encounter,
but oil was. finally poured upon the troubled wa
ters.-Cin. GazeIe.
