The CoNMUSIsrs--Though squelchcd
in Paris and in fair way to be banished
from France, the Communists appear from
latest dispatches to be still upon the ram
page. A member of this bandit force now
proposes to burn and plumber London,
Liverpool and Bristol. Lyons, Marseilles,
Madrid, Turin. Rome. Naples, Vienna,
Moscow and Berlin had been previously
sot apart for similar doom. At least, so
the dispatches report. It is very certain
that We appreciate liberty to be the great
est among human blessings. but if liberty
is to take this horrible shape, we say with
the New York Hsrald, hang it, strangle
tat least put it out the way for the
present. Driven from Europe, as these
miscreants will be, it is inevitable that
many of them shall seek an asylum upon
our own shores. Can we safely give them
shelter? We seriously doubt it. There
is no brute so horrible as the human brute
Let civilization be on its guard. We have
been taught to believe that vermin should
be killed.

JEFFERSON DAvIs.-Jefferson Darts,
being serenaded at Augusta, Georgia,
said: II am well aware of the eagerness
with which every word Of mine is caught
up. and the ingenuity with which it is
distorted" He thus proved himself n
true prophet. and draws, even from the
Southern press, the comment that he had
much better restrain his inclination to
speech. making. The Richmond Dispatch
says: IF any man in the South should
respect the saying, speech is silvern. but
silence is golden Mr.. Davis is that man. /"
We are, however, quite willing to accord
to every man a right to say what be
pleases.

SAD Case or DRowxISa.-A youth named
John Cation, apupil at the primary school
in our village. during the dinner interval
on Monday last. was drowned while bath.
ing IN our Bay near a place known as the
Shell Pile in the Sheep-pcn woods. Young
Gafton had gone in bathing in company
with other boys of the school. and when
about up to his arm-pits in the Bay, was
noticed throwing water with his hands
upon his face and head, Immediately after
which, he was seen to fall backwards.
His companions, thinking at first that he
vas only playing, paid little attention to
the circumstance, but when his real situa-
ton was realized, two Of the larger boys
made vigorous attempt to save him, and
one Of them succeeded in reaching and
catching hold Of him. The unfortunate
lad, however. demen'ed with fright or pam,
struggled from the shore, and the brave
little fellow who had essayed to save him,
not being an expert swimmer. was COM
PEELED to abandon him to his fate. The
singular conduct Of young Cation justifies
tho supposition, probably, that he had
been smistcn With ssm-s,roke when he fell
backwards. All The companion, of tie
young man arc eensurable in this, that they
were bathing in hot weather at the mos, dan
gerous period Of the day. contrary to The
orders Of their parents and teacher, and
that they did not give timely information
at the disaster. The drowned Had vas
ahess is years Of age and was son of
Elias Cation. living near our town. who
has cur sinesrest synpashies in his BE-
Sssvsncne.

HARVEST, ETc.-The wheat harvest in
our county has already commenced and
before the end of the week general cut
ting will have been begun. The prospect
is promising ola yield from fair to fine.
Tobacco beds arc suffering for rain and
the fly and worm have been very trouble
some in the crops and portion Of crops
which have been pitched. We suppose
that not more than third of a planting
has been made up to this date. Corn that
has been well worked and that has been
favored with the late partial seasons is
growing off finely. Many neighborhoods
of our county have been without rain for
weeks and in these sections, vegetation
of MI kinds is, of course, backward and
stunted.

PoLrrrcAL.-@Though there is some op.
position among Democrats to the call Of q
Convention to nominate for Legislative
and county officers. nevertheless, from
what we have been able to gather during
The Court. now in session, We feel satisfied
that tire great majority Of the party is the
other way. Admitting" said a gentle
man in our hearing on Tuesday last in re-
ply to Convention opponent, admitting
tie truth of all you have said against Con-
ventions in general and the present Con-
vention in particular, what have you to
propose as substitute which is better +?
You don't want the radicals to triumph, of
course. but what is to prevent their TIL
umphing, If we split into half dozen fac
tions, and how can we avoid this split
unless We unite, and how can VIC unite
upon the same candidates, except we en-
ploy the agency ola Convention But
the main point is. if something ought to
be done, you admit, and ifmy plan is OBJ
jcctionable, what is your plan? lam my
solf only for Convention until something
better can be found Find it, and am
with you" The gentleman answered that
he had no plan. and thus the conversation
ended. Our own CONNECTION is, that the
party will be unit on this Convention
question long ere the primary elections
have been had.

TINE OF CUTTING GRAiN.-Evcry farmer
must use his best judgment as to the time
of beginning his harvest. AS general
rule, grain should never become dead ripe
before cutting. 1t is conceded. we be-
lieve. that before it arrives at that state il
cut, it is found moro nutritious, makes
better and heavier -four, and the kernels
are plumper aud thinner skinned-and
the straw is also considered more valuable
TOR feeding purposes, when cut in a green
ish state. than when dead ripe. When
the straw becomes yellow from three to
four inches beneath the head is probably
the best criterion to judge as to the fitness
Of the time Of cutting. <.
