The American Reaper Grinder.-Mr. N.
F. johnson, of this town is agent for, and
is selling very rapidly, a little emory grinder
for sharpening the knives of reaping and
moving machines, which is superior to any
continuance for the purpose, ever before
invented. The little grinder sharpens up
the knives and trues up the fingers without
taking the blade from the machine, and
does work superior to any other grinding
apparatus yet devised. 1t can be taken to
the field and used when blade gets dent
from a stone, without even moving the
reaper ftom the swath; and the work is
done SO quickly that the time would not be
missed, even in a harvest field. The little
grinder can be screwed to a jam in the
kitchen, and is far superior to all the
grinders yet produced for sharpening the
table knives. The whole apparatus does
not weigh more than five or six pounds
The price is five dollars and every farmer
who has mower will have one if he con.
suits his own interest.

Painful Accidents.-Mrs. John Markee
was badly injured, on Wednesday last, by
a horse she was driving. The horse
got frightened, when Mrs. Markee got out
of the carriage to hold the animal, and one
of the hoops of her skirt became fastened
between the horses shoe and foot, which
threw her under the animal. She was
dragged round under the horses feet and
the carriage, till rescued by Mr.. George
Davis, who fortunately was near the scene
of the accident at the time. When rescued
one of her eyes was much injured and one
of her wrists broken. Another lady and
little girl were in the carriage, but could
render no assistance.
James Moore, colored, was run over by
an ox-cart, few days since, while in the
employ of Mr.. W. P. Howard, and had
'one of his knees badly bruised.

The Wheat.-We have availed ourself
of every opportunity to inquire of the
farmers that we have met this week from
all sections of the county, concerning the
prospects of the wheat crop, which is now,
in some sections, ready for the reaper, and
are gratifed to be able to announce the
"good news !" that the yield of the pres
ont harvest will be fair one-some reports
say first rate-and the quality of grain
promises to be of the finest. Every pros
pect at present is that the wheat crop of
the county the present season will be much
better than has been gathered for several
years previous. The grass crop is very
light.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1871-06-17

The Rain.-On Sunday night last and
Monday, we had most welcome rain
The clouds dropped their aqueous treasures
down on mother earth in copious, but
steady, gentle showers, which thoroughly
soaked the ground, insuring good yield
of potatoes, if, even, moderate supply of
rain is vouchsafed US in the month of July
and August. Some reports say the oats
were too far advanced before the rain came,
to derive much advantage from it, while
others anticipate an abundant yield. In
the upper parts of the county, where rains
have been more frequent, we presume the
oat crop will be large. Corn is short, but
generally we'll set and thrifty. July and
August are the months which make the
corn crop. Corn is the snrest crop that
our farmers cultivate, and if in good condi-
tion, and the crop we'll cultivated, it rarely
fails to give good return.

The State Normal SchOOl.-The Sixth
Annual Commencement of the State Nor
NAL School, was held in Concord Hall, Bal
timore, Juno list, 1871. One hundred and
twenty five young ladies, dressed in white
were seated on the stage. The exercises
consisted of vocal and instrumental music,
essays, &c. Diplomas were distributed to
ten graduates and three first class certif-
Gates. This is one of the best institutions
for the preparation of teachers, in the State,
and it is to be regretted that SO small a
number attend from Cecil-there being but
two we believe, Miss Owens, of Zion and
Miss Johns, of Pilot Town.

Horse Taming.-Prof. Pratt & Co. gave
exhibitions and lessons several days this
week, at Elkton, in large tent, in the
FELTON, House yard. The performances
were entirely satisfactory, and the Profess
sor and his associates proved themselves
entirely competent to subdue and reduce
to gentleness the most obstreperous horses.
A few lessons by tho Professor would
prove of inestimablo value to every man
whose business requires him to handle
horses a great deal. 1t is of vital import
ance to know how to handle balky or
