PRODUCTION OF WHEAT.-There is
good authority for the statement that
the natural produce of wheat in our
country, under careless cultivation, is
about sixteen grains to one; the unu-
sual produce, under the highest order of
garden culture, has gone as high as
seven thousand four hundred and forty
five grains to one.
PITY is not what the poor want or
need. They need food, raiment, fuel,
or the cash with which to purchase
these necessaries of life When you sit
in your comfortable dwelling during
the cold evenings and listen to the
shrill whistle of the winter wind
around the corner, don't say "pity the
poor" but ask yours elf how much you
pity them, and give unto them accord
ingly.
THE first car load of coal carried over
the Danville and Hazleton Railroad, 4,
arrived at Danville, on Saturday the
4th inst. The MteUigencer says it was
shipped at mine on Black Creek, Co
lumbia county. This is the pioneer load

of this Danville & Hazleton road.
