TIE CRops.-The wheat crop in this and
the adjoining counties is represented as
looking well, and the farmers are making
abundant preparations for the corn crop.

up as pretty we'll destroyed. The cherries
in Stafford are said to be uninjured.

men arrived in our town, by the way of

presenting themselves as Mormon preach

headed old sinner Brigham Young, who
has something less than hundred wives.

SAD ACcIDENT.-0n the 18th of April q
sad accident occurred at the steam saw mill
Of Mr.. Giles, in Stafford county. A Mr..
Limbrick, an aged gentleman living in that
neighborhood, visited the mill, and was
looking around. The saw was just about
stopping when Mr.. Limbrick stepped near
the saw, and it caught in his clothes and
drew his leg against the saw, which it cut
80 badly that amputation was necessary.
The saw revolved but half round after it
caught his leg, which alone saved his life
and prevented him being cut to atoms.

We have regretted to see that two or
three of our contemporaries seem disposed
to make everything subservient to the inte-
rests Of consolidation, and have even gone
80 far as to say that they would support no
candidate for Office who was opposed to the
policy, and would oppose no candidate who
favored the policy. We have always op-
posed consolidation honestly and earnestly,
but if the king of consolidation, if Gene
raj Malone himself, were candidate for
Governor We would support him with all
our energy against the best Radical the
Lord ever put breath into.-A6ingdon Vir-
ginian.
A RADICAL HARANGuE.-Tuesday night
o strange mulatto delivered one Of the
vilest harangues to crowd Of negroes
in the courthouse we ever listened to.
Lee Watkins appeared to be commander
in-chief. This harangue delighted the ne
groes and few mean black-,ohites; they
chuckled and laughed, but it didn't last
long before he threw cold water on them
by saying the man aoho tooh the teSt-oath IS
no better than horSe-thief. About this
time we noticed few whites who had swal-
lowed the oath couldn't stand the lick
thrown at them it seemed to sour, ard they
sneaked to the Wythevi!le Dispatch.
Land buyers are beginning to come
among us. Within the last month or two
several tracts of land-amounting in the
aggregate to 1000 or 5000 acres-have
been cold in this and the adjacent counties
through the fundamentally of the various
land agencies at this point. These lands
have been purchased by bona fde settlers
men who have come to be soith and LOT US and
not mere Spectators, or who pitch their
tents among us seeking Office and the con-
troll Of our local affairs. Among the sales
were 300 acres of land in Cumberland
county, part of Mr.. James N. Marshall's
tract, to Mr.. William Ehling, Of Harris
burg, Pa, for $3,60O.-FarmUille Ne,oS.
