The Winchester News sAss: "The
wheat harvest is about over. 1t is
the poorest crop harvested here for
years. Cause-mot enough fall
rains to give it 4 set We are
glad that other places report good
crops"
Mr.. EDfToR:-Allow me To sug
gest to the farmers the propriety of
sowing buck wheat on ground
where Tie chinch bugs have killed
out the corn, as the ground is in
good condition for it; they will
thereby probably secure crop,
keep down the weeds, and proper
~ managed, the buck wheat will be
more easily got rid of than weeds,
and the crop will afford fine fall
pasturage for their bees, if they
have them. l.. PRENTICE.

The Salina journal of last week
says: A great amount of harvest
ing was done last week, but more
is being done this. Few farmers
find time to ride To town, and con
sequently trade is rather duh.
Harvest tim es have come again,
the hottest # the year; and the
golden grain is falling before 1
thousand keen blades all over this

farther evidence is needed, this yea
has demonstrated that this country
has = glorious future before her
and that all who have heretofore
complained, have done so without
a proper understanding of the sit
uation. Our crops are good every
where, and free from pests of every
description, and cannot be beater
by those of any state in the Union

THE WHEAT HARvEsT.-Wintel

most of the wheat has turned GU
well, and has not been damaged b.

double the wheat will be raises
this season to what we had las

been destroyed by the chinch bugs
Some of the new crop will b

New York, tumbled to pieces one
evening last week while il was full
of people. Fourteen persons were
killed outright, and more than a
hundred others were injured, some
of them seriously. The immediate
cause OF this terrible disaster was
the breaking of a joist which ran
across to stringer supported from

SLATE MAKING.-Somc of the

Some of them look pretty well.
We presume the authors enjoy
them. But what is the use of
making states now? We prefer
to wait and see what kind of
ticket the conventions will bring
forth. We have no candidates
this hot weather. We shall not
exercise ourselves very much till
it gets cooler. We could set up n
very nice slate, but the convention
might break it. We do not pro-
pose to work for fun. If the con-

if i; sends out lot of shysters we
shall do pretty much as we please.

THE CROPS.

We present our readers with re-
ports concerning the late harvest
and growing crops. AS general
thing the reports, are quite fayora-
BILE. One more good soaking rain
will make the corn crop, in most
localities, immense. The farmers
are generally encouraged.
The Fredonia Citizen says
'More than double the amount OF
wheat has been raised in Wilson
county this year than was last sea
SON"
The oat crop of Wilson county is
reported, average.
The chinch bug is doing heavy
damage TO the corn in some locali-
ties. There has been a great amount
OF land planted in corn, and where
il has not been disturbed by the
bugs, 1t promises a very heavy
yield.-Mound City Sentinel.
The Elk City Conrant says
"Some of our farmers report that
the chinch bug is now beginning on
the corn, but we have not, as yet,
heard of their proving very de-
structive."
New WHARF.-The Union Mills
received its first installment of new
wheat Oh Wednesday, of this week,
from Mr.. A. w. Reed, of Big Creek.
This wheat is of the Alabama white
variety. 1t was sown September
Ist, and harvested June 9th, it stood
five feet high i'll the field, turns of
thirty-five bushels to the acre, and
weighs sixty-two pounds TO the bn-
shell. Changers make a note of this.
Who comes next ?-Humbold I'm
ion.
Mr.. John B. johnson, an old set
tier who lives up the river, says he
has never seen such a crop of wheat
in the country before. The grain is
remarkably large. Corr. is looking
well. There is a potato bug that
has made its appearance lately, but
he'does not apprehend much danger.
Eureka Herald.
The Neosho Falls Post says
"There is much more wheat than
farmers at first thought there would
be to harvest"
CHINCH BUG DEVAsTATToN.-W
are sorry 10 learn that the chinch bug
is ravaging the spring wheat on the
uplands in Morris county. Prairie
farmers tell OF total devastation of
their crops by this pest. In some
localities the wheat fields will now
burn like grass in the fall, having
been Slapped and mined by the army
of bugs that infest them. On bot
tom land spring wheat is compare
lively free from the pest and the
crop bids fair an average yield.
The destructive insect is also going
Cor the growing corn, and making
sad inroads upon this staple of the
upland farmer. Oats are also suff-
disheartening toifarmers to:be burn
ed out in the fall and then eat out
of their promised bread in the sum-
mer,-COuncil Grove Republican.
The Parsons Sun says: "Our
wheat crop in this vicinity got
through all right, ahead of the bugs,
but there is no doubt, as many OF
our farmer friends tell us that the
bugs are now injuring the corn
very much"
The Olsthe Mirror reports ''the
corn in the vincity of Spring Hill
lie larger and cleaner than eyer
known at this time of the year, and
farmers expect an extra yield
The Usage City Shaft says
Harvesting, which commenced
some ten days ago, in this county,
is now in full blast, land the re-
ports are generally favorable, al
though some complain of bugs"
From all we can learn, the wheat
crop throughout the county is a
pretty good one. The bugs have
almost entirely destroyed some
small fields, and injured q great

TH2 TRINITY.

DO not think that we ARE going
to bore you with lengthy disser-
tation on the old cOntrOverted
question concerning the trinity. A
new author, a Kansas man, has
written a new book OH the subject.
The author, Rev. Il. ii. Burris, n.
NJ, is member of the South Kan
sas NJ. T.. Conference. Mr.. Burns
does not accept the old doctrine of
the church concerning the Trinity,
and braYely attacks the position of
long honored theOlOgians. lie pro-
fesses implicit faith in the Bible
and proposes to believe anything
which it clearly reveals, whether he
comprehends il or not; but refuses
TO accept an unreasonable dogma
Just because il is old and honOred.
The trinity, as believed on by Trim
itarians generally, he pronounces
unreasonable and unscriptural. lie
refuses To believe the doctrine as
laid down in the various creeds,
and defended by the theologians be-
cause IL is not taught in the word
of God. "'rhe different views
which have been advanced upon
this subject, she concieves to be,
parts of a great truth which God
has revealed"
Our author believes in a Trinity.
We let him make his own state
ment:
lst. 'There is but one God, the
father of us all.
ID. "That Christ was Gods Son.
That in his Son Jesus, God dwelt,
and through him he spake and
worked.
Sd. "rhat as the Son was con-
ceived by the Holy Ghost, the Holy
Ghost is his Father :
That the Holy Ghost is Gods Spir-
il, and is no more n person distinct
from him than is the spirit of a
man distinct from the man himself.
18th. "That there is Divine
Trinity, the Father, the son and
the Holy Ghost; that these are not
trinity of persons, but are the
three essentials of one God in
Christ"
The question thus stated, he sets
out to prove his position by ''the
testimony of Christ, of Paul, of
John, of the Old Testament. We
must say he handles his witnesses
adroitly, yet fairly. He makes a
pretty clear case of it. We are not
prepared now, if we had the space,
TO controvert any Of his positions.
Chapters six and seven are given
to the discussion of '"The Only Be-
gotten Son" and "The Holy Spirit"
In these he Celebrates his particu-
lar views concerning the personali-
ty and Deity of the Son aud Spirit,
their relations to the Father, and
their offices in the Divine economy
of saving sinful world. Read be-
fore you condemn.
Rev. +. O. Haven, ID. D., l.. l..
ID, one OF the most learned divines
in the NJ. f.. church introduces the
work by splendid historical ac-
count of the Trinitarian controver-
sy. He does not agree with some
of the particular views" of the au-
thor, but he commends his ''sincer-
ity, ability, fairness. and thorough
ness of discussion" .
The book bears the imprint of S.
c. Griggs and Co., Chicago. The
mechanical part of it is well done.
We thank the author for the
copy he sent us, and somewhat
wonder at the interest we have TAX
Ell in this old, supposed to be
threadbare, subject. To any one
interested in theological questions
the book will be treat, whether
he agrees with the author or not.
