THE WEEvIL II VIRGINIA WHEAT
rhe Richmond Examiner of Saturday

THE WEEvIL II VIRGINIA WHEAT
The Richmond Examiner of Saturday
says:
We learned, yesterday morning, from
gentleman who has had much ex-
perience in agricultural matters, both
in this State and the North, that
"weevil," one of the most destructive
enemies which TIE wheat plant has met
in the North, has made its appearance
in the wheat fields in the vicinity of
this city.
The gentleman from whom We OBJ
tanned our information yesterdy, thinks
that his own crop has been damaged
fully twenty-five per cent. by weevil
Thus far it has only attacked the for
ward wheat, there being no indication
of it on that sown late. 1t is supposed
that it has been brought here in seed
brought from the North last fall.
This is new enemy to the wheat in
this section of country, not having
been heard Of here before. The only
variety of "weevip known here is an in
sect that attacks corn and wheat when
kept in garners for length of time.
1t is to be deplored that now, when the
prospect for good wheat crop is so
promising, that this enemy should have
made its appearance. We can only hope
that its ravages may be less disastrous
than is now feared.

CROPS IN MICHIGAN.-A cOrrcspon-
dent of the Press writes from Detroit,
June I'd, as follows:
have received reports from all the
principal agricultural districts of Mich
igan, as well as points on the border OF
Indiana, and l am gratified to learn
that, taken as o whole, the fOrthcom-
ing harvest promises to be bountifnl
one. Wheat, oats, rye, hay and fruit
are likely to give an abundant yield.
The fruit crop especially promises we'll.
From all parts of the State returns re-
present the tree covered with blossoms,
and probability that the yield will be
so large that the limbs will not be able
to resist the heaccumulating weight OF the
crop as it approaches maturity. The
cold and rainy season has been very
unfavorable to the production of corn,
which, in the southern portion OF Mich
igan, is the main staple upon which
farmers depend. 1t has also seriously
affected the root crop, which this season
has been planted fully two weeks later
than usual. In all the bottom land OF
this and other Western States l am in
formed the soil is so saturated with
water, and evaporation has been so
slow that many farmers have been I'M
able to plant at all. Some who plant
ed found the seed rOtted instead OF
terminating, and planted the second
time

.,,.rday Morning'


The people of the North are daily
,,nrL that the policy of the Radical
=, which has made slnmhering
l.,no of the country, is necessary be-
,.. Of Southern traitors. Traitors,
,br .Jacohins, must not participate
nnhlir affairs; treason must be made
E,u. All this is mere clap-trap.
rL,,. al, now no traitors in this cOun-
-, hor the Radical traitors. and their
.,,,.on against the interests and liber-
,.,ol the people ought indeed TO make
,5rm odious. The insincerity of the
g,Iicals is strongly illustrated in the
Termination made in favor of the
S,pthern negroes. 1t is assumed
,b,t all the blacks are loyal .
and that the whites, rs general thing,
y, rLr reverse. The negro is admitted
10 suffrage without question, while
-Eaf numbers of the best citizens in
,br Southern States are excluded from
he ballot. This is done, nothwith-
sanding a great majority of Southern
r,,ross were as fully in sympathy with
,l,. rebellion rs their masters. If, in
imitation of the example set by the
Federal Government, the Confederate
,nnir> had been thrown open to the
blacks, it is beyond question that fifty
,olnnteers would have been obtained
.or the South 10 one against it. As 1T
si, the Southern negroes were strong
Southern sympathizers, aiding and abet-
ns the rebellion by every means in
their power. 1t is impossible that the
Radical leaders could he ignorant of
l.,. and hence it follows that even
l5rir wretchcd pretext of making
.r"l>nu odious" falls to the ground.

the London correspondent of the
Roston .idrertiser thus describes Queen
FIctoria's last appearance in public:
Her Majesty is "beinning to look the
old lady" True, Queen Victoria is still
nndcr fifty, but her complexion is gone,
aud troubles have brought the
i!ook of age into the lines OF
her face. 1t is not age itself, but his
Precursors arc there-thOse who attend
very closely upon him. Her dress, in
which nothing but black Grape meets
TIE eye; Grape on the mantle, Grape on
Tie bonnet, and o heavy crape veil in
reserve no doubt contribute to the lady
anbess-like appearance; but as she does
not intend apparently ever to leave
'Eose things of, we must speak of her
!. = she is. She has stony look when
sne public gaze at her, which tells sad
a-art-story.

lArough the kindness of friend who
swell versed in the antiquities of this
region. We haTe bee permitted to exam-
ne copies of the Wheeling DIRECTORY and
Wheeling Tri- Ucekly Gazette, dated re-
,",rively March l6 and October TO-,
~. The Directory profcssed to he
manufacturing and Mercantile Re-
order," and was edited and published
ally by JAMES GREEN. The Gazette
as under the management OF JOHN NJ.
NCREARY. These papers are quite IN
rpre,ting as atfording data by which to
lrtrrmine the progress of our city dur
IN. the past thirty years, and even for
a longer period. In 1910, the Directory
informs us. the population OF Wheeling
Wa pa; in 1890 it had Increased to
lG7. and in 1880 to 522l.
The baltimore and Ohio railroad Di-
rpctury had at the date of the paper

The advertisements "of the United
States and Virginia Hotels" Two lines
Of stage coaches the "Unitod States"
and Good Intent" were running upon
the National road "for the acoommoda-
ton of the pnblic," and travellers were
congratulated upon the fact that the
time occupied in transporting passen-
gers from Wheeling to Baltimsre was
mly ifty-four hours. In one re-
'pect at least, the good old
times were preferable to the modern.
The taxes were light. During the
fiscal year ending March 18th, 1896, the
revenue collected within the borough of
Wheeling from all sources, was SlO, O,g72.-
- We imagine that so far as the rev.
rnae status is concerned, there are few
who would object to being set back about
athird of century. In the advertis-
Ing columns of these papers we notice
many names which have long since
ceased to be familiar in the current
huSiness history of the city. In those
days they were first and best in every
public enterprise; now they are seldom
'ecn save in the defaced columns of
'0me monldering old print, or upon the
last monument of their lives, the tomb.
Other illustrations of mutation and
revolution are suggested by perusal of
these interesting papers, Yet it is salts
ia'tory to know that the comparison of
The present with the past, which their
.ont"nts enable MS to make, is couviuc-
ny evidence of the rapid and substan-
ilal progress which is being made by
