IMPORTING WHEAr.-The Nsp York
World thinks il probable We shall have to
import whea.agaio. Itsays;--New York
imported wheat from foreign countries to
a considerable extent no longer ago than
the spring and summer Of 1866. We not
only imported some English and French
wheat, but we brought back from Liver
pool Our own Western wheat, and eargOes
Of California wheat arriving at Liverpool
were dispatched to US without breaking
bulk We have imported large quantities
of barley from Europe in the past two
years, although our own growth Of that
cereal has had the stimulant Of high prices
and we have had Upper Canada, barley
growing province, to draw from.

to have the whole town sprinkled, but a few
are too parsimonions to give anything, and rs

DECORATING THE GRAVES oF THE
SoLDiERs.--Therc is one man, in Mary
land, asleast, who has no notion that ''by-
cones shall be bygones, " OF that North and
South shall sclasp hands across the bloody
chasm. Mr.. Harrison Adreon, Of Balti-
more, who afoaght in every battle from
the Rapidan to Lees surrender, demurs
20 the proposition Of Gen. King to deco
rate on the same day the graves Of both
the Union and Confederate soldiers, and
says in the Bal,iimore Anserieaa, Of Wed.
nesday
II feel, with the great mass of our Union
soldiers and citizens, that We cannot with
honor to ourselves or with respect for the
memory Of the dead, hang garland upon the
tomb Of defender Of the nation, and then
place like tribute upon that Of one who died
attempting is overthrow"
Mr.. Adreon should have spoken for
hinIseif only. for it is conceded that the
great mass Of those who confronted
death and each other on the battle field,
now most cordially grasp the hand in Oh
lision and forgiveness Of the past. Gen.
Bartlett and Gen Gordonare types of the
true soldier, whose generous and manly
uttennces recently elected the admiration
Of the true chivalry Of the whole country.

RAILRoGD AccIDgST.-The Hagerstown
Ners Of Thursday, says The Western Ma
ryland Excursion train leit our depot at 5:l5
on Wednesday morning. There were about
l75 passengers aboard, and there was no
doubt OF quick and pleasant trip; but an &C
cident occurred even before they got fully
under way which delayed the passengers fully
a couple OF hours. For several days an empty
house car had been standing on the siding AT
MComas' warehouse. On Tuesday night
SOME base wretch or wretches maliciously
pushed the car on the main track. At an
early hour in the morning no one had noticed
its position and no warning Was given the con-
ductor Of the excursion. He was cognzant
6fno obstruction until, while running at good
speed, the engine turned the curve about 20
feet from the car, aud there was no possihili.
~ Of avertinga collision. The car was struck
with such force that il was knocked complete
ly from the wheels and the wheels we're
thrown fully so yards. The engine Of the
excursion train was also seriously damaged
The head light was iiindered; the c0w-catcher
was knocked into hundred fragments; in
fact the whole front part OF the engine was
knocked completely out Of shape. Moving
forward at once was out of the question; so
the passenger cars were attached to the
o'clock train. The damaged engine was TEN.
porarily doctored so as TO reach Union Bridge
for repairs. The regular paSsenserltrain vas
delayed only hale hour. We learn that the
jar frightened great many; bat only two or
three were injured, and they not sufficiently
hurt to make them forego the trip. That the
pushing Of the car upon the main track was
an intentional act there is not particle Of
doubt. The Company will doubtless institute
O most rigid examination into the matter.
