of the court room-the entire hall being
densely crowded with interested specta

speaker-deelaring that the prisoner at
the bar was innocent; that he knew all
about this case aud all such cases, and
that he could prove that Truman had
committed no murder, and that if the

The WHEAT CRoP.-The Annapolis
Republican says: We lcarn from some
OF our wheat growers in this county
that the wheat crops are not looking
veay favorable at this season OF the year,
owing TO the extremely mild winter, aud
the frequent freezing and thawing of
the earth, which has had the tendency
10 expose the roots TO the sun aud air.
This had the effect Of giving to the
young plant yellowish and rather un p.
healthy appearance, and it is very much
feared by some that the crops will be a
short one in parts Of our county.

TnE FRuIr.-The Montgomery Co.
Sentinel, says: The weather OF the
present week has been more damaging
to the fruit in this section than any We
have heretofore had, The cold rain OF
Monday last, which froze as il fell, iced
the swollen buds with u slect, which,
we fear, chilled them to very injuri
Gus extent. We still hope for some
fruit, but, considering the trying ordeal
through which the fruit trees have
passed the present seassn, we cannot
reasonably calculate on muchoi a yield.
