in the city of st. Louis last Fri'iay evening.

Grliow men the religious duties and moral
obi; atoms which lie cnj joined from the pull
teit. II. loss will be severely felt. rs his de-
par'ure is deeply regretted by the whole
community. In his immediate congregation
lie was held In the highest esteem and re-.
garded with tho warne.t affection, and we
fear his p ace will not -"on he supplied
TO them. Mr.. Quarles has u large circle Of ac-
quaintances and u nost OF warm. oppreciatire
friends In st. Louis. and we doubt not will
speedily exert that i;1urnce for good which
his talents and wnrth would secure for him
in any community.

Wheat Crop for 1874.

From representations OF 4 number of per-
sons who have lately travelled through the

wi-h whom we have talked. the number of
acres seeded IN wheat in the county this fall,
exceeds greatly the average of any previous
seasons. The month of August AMI the early
days Of September We're nfaynrablc to the
work, audmany farmers abandoned the mop
OF sowing their stu!.fe I,nd at all. The ram
Hhich fell shout tn miri.le Of Sept TENDER,

may reasonably expect. three or four weeks
Of gOod growing weather. the wheat crop
