The deartb Of peaches has very naturally had
dsprsering influence upon business. which il
very particularly felt IN money matters, and II In
more than probable that a failure Of this crop
for another yhRr may prove dlhaHtrOns 10 many.
Wheat, although Light IN some exceptional To-
caliten, has yielded fair crop and prOnpects
for corn very encouraging.
The public schools have already opened for tho
fall term aud we were Informed that All unusual.

returned last evening, and this department will
probably open the coming week The Academy

pearance, and with an able corps Of teachers lin

John +. Burrls and Phillip Il, Boone, viii n art

them year fruitful Of results and hope tliat
they will sip the swsets Of knowledge from the
