The Harvest.

The harvest of spring wheat was com
menced in this vicinity this week. Much
of the wheat is hardly fit for the reaper but
farmers are compelled to cut it to save it
from the ravages of the chintz bugs which
are making sad havoc with the crop in
several localities. The hot dry weather
has also materially effected the spring grain
so that very short crop is the result, many
pieces of spring wheat being scarcely
worth cutting, Barley is nearly all harves-
ted ard the yield is very light.

The New Postal Law.

1t has been generally supposed that the
new postal law, passed by Congress few
days before adjournment, was not to take
effect until January lst, 1875. 1t was so
announced pending the passage Of the law,
but it appears that some of its provisions
took effect on the LIST Of July. Our inform
alton is obtained from an extra of the Post
Office Gazette, containing portions of the
law, and noting the changes set forth be-
low:
The prepayment of postage on all print
ed matter, before being deposited in the
mails by newspaper publishers, goes into
effect January LIST, 1875. (Section 5.
Section went into effect July LIST, and
provides for the free transmission through
the ais, to subscribers only, of all news
papers, whether daily, semi-weeky, weekly,
monthly, or quarterly, within the county
in which they are published.
Another important change is as follows.
taking effect July lst, 1874. The rate on
merchandise and other third-class matter.
which was formerly two cents for
two ounces, has been reduced to
me cent for two ounces; and the limit of
IL ounces as to weight on parcels has been
increased to four pounds. Packages of this
description. however, must be SO wra pped
as to admit OF examination without DESTROY
ing the wrapper, and unaccompsnied by
any writing in addition to the address.

DR.. E. r. Welles, bishop elect of this do
cese, delivered his first sermon in this city
yesterday morning, at St. Paul's Episcopal
Church. The right rev erened gentleman
is of medium height. rather above than be-
low; robust, but not unusually so, with
features that denote hard work, clear eye
and complexion, fine high, open brow,
straight, well-cut nose, graceful but deter
mined mouth, long gtayish chin beard,
gray mustache, and partly gray hair. His
appearance is extremely progressing
His face bears the impress of thought and
calm soul. His whole manner is quite
composed, dignifed and earnest. His ar
ticulation is unusually clear and distinct
His sermon yesterday, synopsis of which
is reported, will be found bold departure
from the drowsy, stereotyped efforts of
many divines of the Episcopal Church.
