John Meredith, g former citizen Of
Wayne county, and brother of General
Meredith, now residing in Wabash Co :,
has sold his home farm in that county
consisting Of one hundred and sixty
acres, for ten thousand dollars. On it
he had sixty-fve acres Of corn, which
he sold in the field for forty dollars per
acre. The price of tho crop is more
than considerable land in Indiana will
sell for. If this be sure criterion for
the price Of that crop this season, we
may well look tor great scarcity and
high prices.-[ Cam. Tribune.

Remarkable Accident.

A letter received at Louisville from

course. The house of a farmer named
Darwell was situated at the foot of the hill
The milestone went crushing through a
fence and into the yard of the farmers
house, where were a number of bee hives
In the yard were playing a bevy of chill
dren. The bee-hives were upset, AID the
the bees in the confusion lighted upon the
children. singing every one of them in
afrightful manner. The progress of the
great stone was not impeded in the least
by its collision with the hives, and went
bounding into stock pasture beyond the
house. It dashed into heard of calves
and horses, killing two Of the former and
one of the latter almost instantly The
children in the yard had been completely
covered with the bees, and each one was
stung by them until their persons were
entirely covered with white swellings
One of them died few hours after the
terrible occurrence, aud two others are
entirely speechless and blind. They can
hardly recover.

Virginia Test Oath

The action of the Cabinet this week on
the question of the test oath in Virgins
is secret, but from a remark of Presi
dent Grant on the Both lit is inferred by
the Philadelphia Post that the test oath
will not be applied to members the Vir-
ginia Legislature, as the President said
to friend to-day, that good faith and
loyalty now protested by Southern men,
would be brought to test as soon as the
Legislature of Virginia got to work, as ii
is well known that the application of the
test oath would prevent the assembling OF
the Legislature in that State. majority
Of the members of both Houses being un-
able to take. The inference is that the
President has decided against General
Canby's proposition, aud that the test
oath will not be applied.
