The Richmond Enquirer says there is
one squrs mile OF land between Smyth and
Washington counties, Va, on the north fork
of the Holston river, which is worth more
than the whole valuation oe the city of New
York. The salt rock within this mil l><rang-
es from seventy five to one hundred feet in
thickness, which would yield net ton, or
forty bushels of salt To every sulid yard it
contains, or over three Thousand millions of
bushels! which, when manufactured, is worth
IRON forty to fifty cents per bushel. But
presuming it to be worth twenty cents per
bushel in the ground, and we have six mil
lions of dollarsi to which We must add
two hundred and fifty millions of tons of
plaster within the same space, worth in the
ground about one dollar per ton, making a
total of eight hundred and fifty millions o

which we find in an exchange!
Some years ago bill was up before the
Alabama Legislature for establishing Boz

Several able speakers had made long address
ses in support of the bill, when Mr.. Morris

much gravity he addressed the House as
follows: ''Mr. Speaker, [ cannot support

hours, and it only cost him twenty dollars to
complete his education. He bough: book,
Sir, and read the chapter on feyers. and
that was enough. He was called to see
sick woman once, so he tucked his book un-
der his arm, and off he went. She was
very sick woman indeed, and he felt her
wrist, looked in her mouth, and then turn-
ing to the husband, asked solemnly if he
had "a sorrel sheep!' 'Wby no, never heard

a american Sunday schooI Union

Mr.. WI. Essick, a Missionary of the
American Sunday School Union, expects
10 spend a part of this Summer in Meigs
County, endeavoring to further the objects
Of this Society. 1t has two specific OBJ
jects.
1st. To plant Sunday School wherever
there is a sufficient population.
2nd. To publish and circulate moral
and religious publications in every part Of
the land.
The Sunday School Union has no con-
nection with any Church organization. Nor
is it opposed to any Church organization.
Its Missionaries will cheerfully assist in
organizing denominational Schools when
desired.
The doctrines taught in the books of
the American Sunday School Union, are
those in regard to which Christian. of all
orthodox denominations are agreed.
The doctrines left uataughs are such as
divide professed Christians into various
communities, and about which there is So
much debate and controversy. The pub
fishing Committee is composed Of ID
mombers Of six principal denominations.
and no book can bo published to which
any one member Of this Committee OBJ
jects. Sunday School, Libraries. Testa-
ments, Hymn books, Question books. &C..
may be had at the store OF Mr.. II. II.

In April 1914, Mr.. Barber, solicitor
at the Old Baily. London, was tried and
convicted on charge Of forgery. He was
sentenced TO transportation for life, on
Norfolk Island, Lhe worst of the penal
colonies. Mr.. Barber, being man Of
fine education and high sense Of honor,
and having been all his life accustomed TO
the blessings Of pure and happy home,
as well as the social consideration which
his talents and position fitted him to on
joy, suffered inoxpressible misery from his
necessary and forced connection and asso-
citation with the desperate characters there
confined.
1t has just been proved to an absolute
certainly, that the charge was false one,
and Mr.. Barber entirely innocent! lie
has been pardoned of course, and has re-
turned, after an absence of IA years OF
untold suffering, to find himself stranger
in the place ofhis birth, and the hopes of
lifetime blasted. Who can picture the
horrors Of those fourteen years OF unjust
punishment for a crime never committed (!
How can society atone for the wrong in
flicted on him and his family. Alas how
uncertain is the thing called human
Justice.

The CROPS,

We have, during the past week. passed
through portions of Meigs. Athens and
Gallia counties, and so far rs convenient,
made inquiries and observations on the
prospects of the crops for the season.
We found the farmers in the midst Of har-
vost. Some fields Of wheat were very
fine, some winter killed, some struck with
the rust, and some injured by weevil.-
heard, We should think, in the region
mentioned, the wheat crop will hardly be
an average one; but with the large sur
plus of last years harvest, there is prob
ably as much wheat in tho counties named
rs would make very fair average crop.
OaIs, if we are not mistaken, will be, to
a great extent. a failure. Much Of it seems
to be injured with rust, and many fields
will not be harvested at all Corn, on the
bottom, where not drowned out, looks
very fine. With favorable weather for the
rest Of the season, the crop promises to be
q good one. Grass, everywhere. will be
abundant. Potatoes look well. but we
heard many complaints that the tubers
were not setting well. We hope this will
prove mistake, and that the yield will
equal the promise Of the appearance above
ground.
F-uit will not be abundant. On the
highest points of :he hill farms. whore
the trees have escaped the severity of the
winters, and the still more fatal attacks Of
the borer, there will be a fair product of
peaches; on the lowlands generally, none.
or apples there will be good supply for
homo consumption, but not many for
shipment.
or all the products Of the farm there
will be AN abundant supply. and unless
there shall be a fo,eign demand, prices
will probably bc low, compaled with the
last few ycaIs.
