The folly of using fine language
20 poor ignorant people, and tie
strange mistakes it gives rise to
sometimes, are thus illustrated !:
IA clergyman was sent for: the

deaf to whom he was called.
what induced you to send for me?
posapously said the clergyman.
.Eh p what induced you,' he
repeated, sto send for me?' What
does he say ?. said the man to his
wife. He says, what the deuce
did ye send for him for!'" =
Some mean fellow has recently
taken down the entire conversation

SHORT WHEAT CRoP.-Now that the har-
vest is over the farmers find that the wheat
crop will prove much lighter and poorer
than was expected, owing to the very rapid
manner in which it was ripened, the extreme
hot weather causing the berry to shrink. SO
rapidly did the crop ripen that even the
straw had not time to mature, and hundreds
of acres in this county will be lost because
it cannot be cut or bound At this writing
Aug. y other crops are also suffering for
rain. 1t is represented that the potato crop
will be light, on account of the long spell OF
be much injured unless copious rains fall
very soon.
