By gentleman who was coming into

was out OF field, about ten miles from
the city, which averages five or six feet
in height. The worms, judging from
this specimen, and we are assured it is
fair sample Of the entire field, will
leave nothing TO pick. Every leaf was
eaten, and every boil but two. The re-.
cent rains have prevented that good

otherwise have been expected. In

CONVICTED OF MURDER n-Christopher
Craft has been convicted at Danville,
Va, OF the murder of DIR. Jeffries, and
sentenced to be hanged on the Goth OF
November next. The circumstances
leading to the tragedy were, as is frc-
quontly the case, very absurd. The
wife of the deceased, while playing
with Crafts children, filled the hat Of
one OF them with shayings and stuck it
on his head. The child cried, and
thereupon quarrel ensucd between
Mrs Craft and Mrs. Jefrries The re.
suit OF the squabbe was to bring the
two husbands into quarrel, when Craft
stabbed Jeffries TO death.
