The WHEAT CHor,-We regret to
hear Of the threatening indications at
tending the growing wheat crop. Whole
fields, that 4 little while ago promised
the most abundant Weld, have been
seized by 4 terrible Highland now wear
decidedly npromi,ing aspect. The
complaint reaches us from all sections of
the county, and is naturally causing
4 good deal of uneasneSs among the
farmers. We learn from gentlemen
who have examined it, that at the sec

of bug, or small worm, has taken pos
session, four or five sometimes being

ofwhich the blades are turning yellow,

The Chicago papers announce that the
grave Of Douglas in that city is to be
sold for taxes. 1t appears in commu-
nication from the city collector to the
Councils that an assessment Of S2,200
for improvements had been made upon
the ground wherein reposcs all that was
mortal Of the Little Giant, and that the
courts having given judgment, he shall
be compelled to proceed. Such a story
as this appears incredible, but it is, nev-
er-the-leSS, the truth TIE neglected
remains Of Douglas over which no mon
ument has ever been reared, are to be
rudely disintcred, and the ground in
which he had reposcd is to be bartered

TIE Clock STRIKES cone. The
Lexington (Na.) Gazette, Of. the 2Sth
ult., chronicles the following as re
markablc occurrence:
MIR L. j. White, whose death oc
Cured last week. was stricken on his
return from our last court to his home
in BrownSburg, with a fatal disease.
On the day Of his return he had occa-
sion to 90 into the room where was
kept the clock belonging to his father,
the late Robert White. This clock is
of the old fashioned high kind, and has
been stopped for years, not even having
the weights attached, being merely
kept as family relic. When Mr..
White entered the room the clock, which
had been silent so long, distinctly struck
cone" He at the time paid no special
attention to it, and not being of a Su-
pcrStitiouS turn OF mind, thought it was
a mistake or an illusion of his fancy.
The next day or the day after, he again
had occasion TO enter the room. Again
the clock struck one He immcdi-
atclv went out, telling his wife OF the
circumstances. and remarked that he
felt assured he was going to die soon.
His premonitionS, as we have stated,
proved true, and in few days his spirit
passed away.
BODY FoUND.-A man, in the en-
plov of Mr.. J. \. Keller, who resides
near the Shenandoah river, about one
mile above HowellSville, discovered the
body of girl, supposed to be about
sixteen years Of age, floating near the
shore on Monday last. Mr.. Il. was I'M
mediately notified of the fact, and the
body was taken ont and buried on the
bank of the river. She had been in the
water so long that all traces Of recog
milton was obliterated. There was
strip of red flannel around her neck.
Her dress was striped worsted-a small
portion of which remained on the body.
1t issupposed that this young girl is one
of the many poor unfortunate persons
who lost their lives during the terrible
freshet of September last.-Uarrsn

VELOCIPEDE AND MATHEMATfCS.-
The usual quiet of our town was some
what disturbed last Tuesday by the ap.
pearauce in our midst of one Professor
Dodge, (who claimed to have been at one
time professor of mathematics in the
University of Virginia together with a
Cav Indian who accompanied him and
rode q vedocipede to attract attention.
He gave free lecture on the progress
of the Human Mind" and then offered
to teach any one, for the small sum Of
two dollars, his lightning method Of cal
culation. We understand he delivered q
very fair lecture, but we were not there
to hear it. As to his short method Of
mathematical calculations we know moth
ing but if it is Of any practical utility
it will not long be con6red to one white
man, on Indian aud velocipede; if moi
practical, the less people have to do with
it the better, unless they have longing
desire to cheat themselves. The Indian
also delivered o lecture in his own Ian
guage. A friend has favored US with the
following extract:
