Some farmers have seeded some wheat, but

an anxiety on the part Of the farmers to pro-
cure seed of the Fultz variety. There was a
quantity of this kind for sale, but it was held
at Sl.T5 per bushei, which was considered
too high, so we had il shipped from Washing
ton county, delivered on the cars at $l.40per
bushel.

menced September LIST, with a full attendance

The farmers Of our ueighborhood have been
very busy during the past two or three weeks
sowing and preparing to SOW grain, and also
securing their potato crop. Some Of them
sowed rye in the latter part Of August, which
at this time is up and looking very well, not
withstanding the weather has been so dry.
do not know that there was any wheat sown
before the first week Of September. There
was some sown then, which at present is COM
ing up.
The potato crop is iolerably good, taking
everything into consideration, although the
dry weather and the potato bug worked
against it very much. The bugs came early
in the season and continued on the vines till
the very last, in spite of everything the farm
ers could do. The only remedy found was to
catch them and kill them. After they ate the
potato vines they next aimed to destroy the
tomato and other vines.
The corn crop is good, although the dry
weather worked against it very much. Some
in new ground was burned up before the rain
came; other ground that was anyways good
has fine crop, which will soon be ready fol
the hnsbandman to gather into his garner.

FIRE AND DEAru BY SrIcIpE.--The citi-
gems Of Manchester were startled on Friday
evening Of last week by the cry Of FIRE, and on
proceeding in the direction Of the light it was
found to be the barn ofLeonard Graf, near that
place. Graf had been in Manchester in the
afternoon, and endeavored to raise money for
the purpose Of staying an execution on his
property, which was in the hands Of cons.a
bic, Being addicted to drinking, and feeling
respondent at his inability to obtain money, he
drank deeper, and made threats that he would
burn not only his own property, but also that
of several others. He left Manchester about
six o'clock for his residence, and shortly after
il was found that part of his threat had
been carried out Every effort was made by
the neighbors 10 extingnish the flames, but
the work had been too well executed. The
barn contained all the grain raised the pres
ent year, fodder, implements, &e., bat no
stock as was at first reported, though he did
fasten q COW in the barn yard, which escaped
injury. During the fire gentleman stumbled
over what he supposed to be Graf, and think.
ing he was dead drunk, he placed him on the
outside Of the fence. Inquiry was made by
some Of those present Of Mrs. Graf where her
husband was, and she replied that he had
started for the woods after setting the barn on
FIRE. Search was at once instituted for Graft
and he was found in the woods of DR.. Henry
Z. Beltz. Thinking he had.not recovered
from HIS stupor. he was dragged to = cleared
place, and on closer examination it was found
that his throat was cut from ear to ear, in
shocking manner. A physician was sum
moned at once, and he said that he was still
alive. The almost lifeless body was carried
TO the dwelling, where he fingered for an
hour or two. The instrument used by the
unfortunate man in taking his life was Bar
low knife. An inquest was held on Saturday
morning, and verdict was rendered in ac-
cordanee with the above statement The re-
mains were inferred on the same day.

Norris addressed the Principal in some we'll
timed remarks, to which the Rev. gentleman
feelingly replied. Prof Hurley and lady, Of
Westminster, Dielman and Steinbrecher being
present added greatly to the enjoyment by
their musical performances. Several tables
were set ont in the large stndy-room, where
collation. wasseryed up which the ladies Of the
village kindly provided, and at about ten o'elk
the company departed, well pleased with the
entertainment Of the evening. Our commu-
nifty greatly rejoices at the proSpec; Of the es-
tablishment of an institution Of learning in
our midst, and much anxiety is manifested for
its success, of which there can be no doubt
under such head as the Rev. Mr.. Shryock,
who is ripe scholar, an experienced mana
ger and gentleman Of culture.
On Monday last the public was invited to
the Inauguration Of the Institution, which took
place that day, large audience and num-
Der of clergymen from different parts Of the
country being present, The Rev. Mr. Shry.
ock made the Introductory remarks, after
which the choir sang an appropriate anthem.
Rev. DR.. Smith, Of Baltimore, read passages
from the scriptures, and the Rev. Mr.. Mar
quis offered an appropriate prayer Forcible
and eloquent addresses were delivered by the
Rev. Dr. Smith and the Rev. Mr.. Marquis,
of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Balt-
more. Several other clergymen were pres
ent and made short addresses, after which the
good old doxology was sung by the whole au-
dienee and the benediction pronounced. Atthe
close Of the exercises the audience scattered
over the grounds and took view of the build
ings, which have been thoroughly repaired
and remodeled. Thus ended the opening ex
