PRoafEcr FOR WHEAr.-Having heard
soma complaints in regard to the APP
preaching wheat crop, says the Rock
vile Repab licGs, we have taken pains
to enquire ofa number of our .most ex-
Perieneed farmers as to the prosper.
They give 1t as their opinion, that wheat
has suffered but little il any from the
winter thus far; that although the blades
appear dry and lifeless, that close ex-
animation proves that thereris not yet
any serious cause for complaint.

townsmen, VIM, Reavis and W. F. Cor
via, have purchased the famous log
cabin which was built By. Abraham Lin.
coin and his father Thomas Lincoln.
: This house already has o world-wide
fame, and is remarkable as the house of
the old pioneer, The father of Mr.. Elm
eolpl and the place where the mother OF
MrsLs hreathed her last; also is equally
remarkable as the place. where our
late President spent his youthful days.
Il was within the walls Of this house that
he took his 6rst lessons in political
ethics, aud laid the foundation for q
fame that will live as long rs time lasts.
The house now stands on the old farm
in Spencer county. We are not appris.

with it, but if it were placed on exhibi.
ton no doubt it would attract great as.
