A TRULY SAD OccuRREScE.-We do not know
that it has ever befallen us, as journalist, to
record more truly sad and heart-rending occur
renee than to TX place on Friday evening last,
near the residence Of Capt. Lewis Hartman. three
miles North of this city. His little son, about six
years of age, was returning, with colored. boy,
from Mrs, NJ. @. Harmaa's, grandmother Of the
child, short distance from its home. In the
road, they met wagon loaded with about one
hundred bushels OF corn. coming down a deelivity
in the road 1t seems that the little fellow tried
to get out of the way, aud had gotten TO the edge
of lake near BY but from the sad result, did not
get far enough to prevent The wheels of the wagon
from catching him and crushing his little body
Both legs and the stomach were literally mashed,
and life became instantly extinct.
The driver picked the helpless form of the
child in his arms, and proceeded to the house,
where its mother was sitting on the porch. It
was refining 1.-THE time, and the impression on
her mind was that her boy was being carried
out Of the rain But that delusion was soon dis
PEELED and the terrible fact revealed. that her first
born, which but short time previous had left
her sweet. bright and happy, was corpse before
her The scene, and that crushed heart can be
better inA .ined than described!

THE Cneps.-From q careful reading Of the
papers from every part of the State and ths
country, we are satisfied the wheat crop will pc
exceedingly short The drought has been uni
versal, more disastrous in other States than it
has been in this An intelligent gentleman from
Rockbridge tells us that it will be not more than
one fourth the usual yield in that county. The
Dat crop is likely to be perfect failure, and
very little hay will be made.
