sI'ILE WHEAT rH0p

During the past ten days we have
made diligent inquiry as to the supposed
yield Of wheat in this county, and from
all we can gather. we judge: that the
average will be between sand 20 bush
els. A fraction over II bushels has
been the average for Minnesota, and if
Mobiles County this year can produce15
bushels, Notwithstanding the grassllop-
pers, what may we not expect when we
have Il year without any drawback.
n few have already tllresheG and sold.
MIR. Parish is one of these, and his yield
was IL little over 20 bushels to the acre.
Messrs. Burnl,am and Campbell esti-
mate their yield at about 20 bushels,
and we hear that quite Il number of
farmers in the southern part of the
county expect ut least that number of
bushels. On all Prof. IIumiston's farms
the yield will be good, the estimate be-
ing 20 bushels for the Ochecda farm,
and between Is and 20 on the Okabena
and Buckeye places. On Mr.. Dondore,s
place just north Of town, under charge
of Mr.. Phillips, there is Il good crop,
the estimated yield being from 500 to
1000 bushels Oh 100 acres.
On the other hand, we hear of some
farmers who will not have more than 10
bushels, and in some cases, where the
grasshoppers OF hail cut the crop, there
will not he above seven OF eight.
The 11aggards, in Indian Lake and
Lorain Townships, expect 25bushels to
the acre. They are hard working farm
ers and nearly always get good crops.

VERMONT's NEW GOLD MINE.

PLYMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 80. From
Mr.. Chapman who passed through here
yesterday, were obtained the particulars
about the new gold vein purchased by
him at Berkshire, Vt. The history of
the land is soon told. A few months
since farmer digging hole from which
to water cattle turned up on his spade a
lump of ore of dark green color. Ex-
aiming further. and remembering the
stories of the recent discoveries of metal
all over New England, he began a more
searching examination. and called to his
aid the knowledge of one or two friends.
As the circle increased of those that
knew it, soon included in its limits Mr..
Charming Hazelton of Derby Lire, who
had had an extensive mining experience
and possessed considerable knowledge of
the value and appearance of metals. AL
though the specimens he examined we're
somewhat oxidized, he knew their value
and communicated the discovery to Mr..
W. W. Chapman of Newburyport, whose
name is familiar in connection with the
silver mines of that city Mr.. Chapman
had the specimens assayed and immedi-
ately started for Berkshire, where, after
an examination, he at once purchased
the property, paying large sum. His
investigation revealed tie fact that the
vein of copper and gold was, at the depth
where opened. at least thirty-six feet
wide, one-third of the whole width show.

sition, and the gaugue being talcose

knife, that fifty tons day can be east.
ly mined, and this quantity from the
start. The ore was surprisingly rich in
yield, and, as in the case of the mineral
deposits of Essex county, far exceeds il
percentage the usual finds in other part,
of America
The specimens obtained and assayed
by Mr.. Chapman yielded $50 Of gold t.
the ton. and thirty-not three, as print
ed heretOfore-per cent of copper. To
show how valuable this yield. is, Mr.
Chapman says that the Lake SuperiO,
copper ore yields on the average one De-
cent. that of Cornwall, England. about
three. And in regard to the gold, or,
that usually yields $50 per ton is al
ways considered rich. 1t seems that tn,
yield of this new Berkshire vein is tel
times above the average in copper. ane
four and Lalf in gold. The total val
ue of the vein cannot OfcOurse. be guess
ed but it will undoubtedly produce met
al worth many thousands Of dollars

of the new lead. 1t is situated within
half a mile of the Canada line in the
town of Berkshire, six miles from Rich
ford, on the Southeastern Counties Rail
way, in accessible fields. The discovery
of the copper is Of course no surprise, as
that metal has been found in large guam
titles all through the adjacent region for
some time, and in some places the leads
have been worked to great advantage
Mr.. Chapman does not hesitate to pre-
dict remarkably rich yield from this
vein, which the specimens now in his
possession fully justify. The absence
of quartz will render the working of the
ore so easy that no great expense could
possibly be incurred in making the mine
yield its long-hidden treasure. The dis
covery of this gold, and in such quanti-
ties, will give new zest to meteorological
explorations and the development of
New England's new wealth, in which
Mr.. Chapman has had the good fortune
to lead, and add another to the rich pro-
auctions of Vermont.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

A man of good appearance, accompan-
led by woman, came off the train on
the 18th, ult., and registered at the
American House as &c. Sharky and
daughter, Syracuse, N. Y" There was
nothing suspicious in their appearance,
and they were assigned to a suit of
rooms. 1t has since transpired that the
daughter was soiled dove, and bore
quite another relation to Shaky. He
drove into the country every day. his
business being the selling of Sme kind
of patent medicine in bottles. On Mon
day he stopped at the house 0: a poor
man named Myers, who Lives on the
Plains between this city and Williston,
and represented that he wishedto hire a
girl to assist his wife to label bottles,
and that he would pay SO week for
such services, including board. A daugh-
ter of Mr.. Myers, l6 years of age, ac-
cepted the offer and left home with
Sharky, who told her he must drive
around by Richmond. When about
three miles from the girls home Sharky
attempted to violate her person, but she
escaped him after fearful struggle, and
leaped from the wagon, when the viii
lain, affrighted by the approach of 9TH
ers, drove furiously away. The poor
girl reached home on foot, badly bruised,
told her story, and her brother came to
Burlington reaching here just as the
scamp was about taking the train south.
On finding that he was pursued, Sharky
escaped i'll team while the papers were
being made for his arrest. He left his bag
gage at the depot checked for Vergen
res, and Policeman Francis went dowr
On the night train, found his man anC
