In speaking Of the death of Mr.. Dewitt, BY
his own hand, the Richmond Dispatch says:
His act was the result of great mental depres-
sion, caused entirely by the serious derange-
ment of bis physical health. He has been tried
and trusted in various walks of life. He had
long held positions Of responsibility, but against
him even breath of suspicion has never been
raised.
The Valley Virginiau learos from the farm.
ers that the prospects for an unusual yield of
wheat 10 that section are very fattering. The
heads are finely filled and the grains large and
plump. The corn is also 10 fine condition and
should the month of August prove as season.
able as June, the crop will be large. =.
The Page Courier says: "The harvest is, in
a great measure, over in this county, and from
conversation with some of our most successful
farmers we learn that the quality of the wheat
this year is first class unsurpassed. The yield,
too, is very good better than the most
sanguine anticipated some weeks ago."

shocker in the vicinity Of the Hague, West
morelsnd, county, who has been accustomed to
handle grain for twenty-five or thirty years
past, odys ue ucVck SAW ucdVl6E wheat sUau
