ENORMOUS YIELD.-Mr. II. w.
Cosby exhibited to us a sample of a
new and excellent variety of red wheat
He received peck of this wheat from
Hon. Frederick Watts, commissioner of
the Department Of Agriculture, who
described it as "a new, hardy, beard
less and prolific variety" From this
peck Mr.. Cosby raised eight and a half
bushels of prime wheat. Who can
beat this? We have always considered
ten bushels for one of seed very
satisfactory yield, but this 'Fultz winter

Onr town has, for the last day or two
been much excited over the discovery Of
the dead body of an infant. An inquest
was held over it, and many witnesses ex-
anined. The general supposition is thai
it was the child of colofed girl named
Willie Payne. The evidence before the
jury was strong in that direction, ST.
strong, indeed, that the girl left the
.neighborhood. The verdict OF the jury
did not fix the guilt upon any one.
This crime so horTid and SO debasing
deserves the condemnation OF every citi-
zen. All are deeply interested in finding

the writer very disinterestedly shows to

Serious Accident. =
On last Monday, a young man, Mr.. Perry
Zirkle, son of Erasmus, living with Mr.
Olinger, near this place, met with very
serious accident. 1T seems that he had
been using an old bomtj-shell as post
rammer, and had broken the handle. He
took it to an cut building, and placed it in
fire, which had been made under \
Kettle, in order to burn out the piece of
handle. However, before doing this, he
showed 1t to Moses Kipps, who thought
there would be no danger in placing it
in the fire, as it had been used on a
ralnmer about four years, and as he sup
posed ali the powder had been taken out
of it. Although it had been used that
length of time, yet, when it became hot,
there was sufficient quantity Of powder
i'll it to cause an explosion. When it took
place, Mr. Zirkle was standing near. and
a piece Of the shell struck his left arm
SCATTERING the bone very badly. DR.. G. c..
Henke was Immediately sent for, and Dr.
AIS. Miller being at hand accompanied
him, and they found it necessary to
alnputate the arm near the shoulder
