note will be made in good time.

FINE WHEAT.-We have received from
our friend J. r. Sloan, Esq, of Moore
county, a bunch of wheat marked "Booten, "
which is as finely headed and as heavily
grained as any we have ever seen. This is
a variety of wheat that we have never heard
of before that we recollect.
| Mr.. Sloan tells US that he has adopted
the sensible plan of cultivating less land
and cultivating it better, and this wheat
bears him out in it. All such pioneers in
the pursuit of good results should have the
thanks of the public as benefactors of the
community in which they live.

WHEAT HARVEST wheat harvest
has now commenced with US, and So far as
we have heard, the crop promises to be
one of the best that has been gathered for
years.
The fruit crop also. promises to be
abundant, especially apples the peaches
in some localities were killed by frost, but
in others the yield will be an average one.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY," hope there
will be some movement set afoat to resus-
citate our Agricultural Society. There is
considerable effort being made in some
portions of the State at present to set mat
ters of the kind af1oat again, and which we
hope will be crowned with complete success.
We have some farmers and horticulturists
in this county whose productions will COM
pare with those of any portion of the State,
where all things are equal
We have the Smiths, and the Elliots,
| McDearmids, Spearmans, the Williamses,
Murphys, Evanses, Pearces, Worths, and
Smiths again, who need not be ashamed
to stand up against any one

FOURTH OF JULY.-It is understood that
the reason why the Omnibus bill has been
assumed to be law, when it is, as yet, no
law, and the Legislature convened without
proper authority, on the LIST prox., is that
the Howard amendment may be adopted
in time for the inauguration of the "Gov-
ernor elect " and grand Radical and ne
gro jubilee on the 4th. If the patriots of
'76, who signed, on that day, the great De-
claration, could look upon the mutilation
of their noble work involved in the Radi-
cal abomination called Reconstruction, y
they would turn in their very graves and
forbid this desecration of the day which

COUNTERFEIT. have been shown by
Mr.. Jesse Kyle counterfeit $40 "green-
back" of the Third National Bank of Phil
adelphia, dated Goth of February, 1867
In the date of 81 , it is difficult to say
whether the figure is or not-made SO
purposeiy no doubt. The note is signed
by r. Glendinning, Cashier, and David B.
Paul, President. It is O. very dangerous
counterfeit, for the reason that it is a very
good one in every particular, and we are
told by Mr.. P. A. Wiley, perfect in the
signatures News.
COUNTY COURT Especial Term) has been
in session during the week. No case OF
more than ordinary importance has come
before it thus far. With this term this old
and venerable institution, handed down
from our English ancestry as part of the
common law, ceases to exist. Radicalism
has done its work. This bulwark of the
peoples rights and their safeguard against
excessive county and local taxes, has to
give way to new system, from the practi-
cal operations of which we have nothing to
hope. This Court has generally been pre-
sided over by gentlemen, justices of known
probity and intelligence, and who, being
property holders and taxpayers, offered a
guarantee that no burden would be laid on
the county that was not absolutely necessa-
ry for an economical administration OF
affairs.
We part with this Court with regret-its
Chairman, Associate Justices, Clerk, Soil
citor, and all its attaches. A purer OF
more efficient set of officers could not be
found in the State.
When this court adjourns it adjourns to
meet no more. Upon its tomb will be writ
ten, in letters inefaceble: Murdered by
fratricidal hands, because it stood between
the plunderers and their prey. A noble
epiIaph. But there will be resurrection
morn, and then trials and convictions too.
