MADISON COUNTY.-The London Dem
! ocgut says
From repeated inquiries of our farmer
7 friends we are led to the conclusion that
} the wheat crop in this county will be an
entire failure except what may be pro-
/ duced from Spring wheat, for which there
/ | Is lively demand for seed. In many in
stances the farmers are plowing the fields
soWed with winter wheat, and using the
land for other crops.
From the Union we Ieard that Col. D. B.
Warner has been brevetted Brigadier Gen
eral of " VOlunteers for meritorious services.

very highly ofthe performance. The pro-
ceeds which were considerable, were devo-
ted to the County Monument Association.
The Independent says From what we
learn from farmers from different parts of
our county, the wheat crop Will be rather
slim. Some few fields of good appearances :
can be found, but upon thewhole the pros =
pect is not encouraging.
