OBITUARY.

SAAA a - - ~ -
Rev. P. C. Hoge died at his resi-
donce in Scottsyille, on Monday
morning, July 18th. in the GSth year
ofhis age. Mr. Hoge had been an ac-
tive, Jealous aud successful minister
Of the gospel for thirty years. For
four years he served the Scottsville
Baptist church as pastor-was pastor
at hrle's church in Fluvanna county
so years-at Bybco's road Is years
Antioch Is years, and Beaver Dam Is
years. At each one Of these church
rs he was instrumental in leading
many 10 Christ, and few pastors, if
any, were more beloved by their
hocks than he was. AS an evidence
Of the attachment existing between
him and his churches, no considera-
ton could induce him to resign their
charge, and accept the care Of more
prominent and more popular posi-
lions. As instances of the fact, be-
fore the war he received calls to Lex
ineton. Manchester aud Lynchburg.
But the links of love that bound him
to the people for whom he labored,
were too strong to be severed, except
by death. He laborcd earnestly and
faithfully for the cause in which he
was engaged, and enjoyed largely the
fruits of his labors.

Narrowing Wheat.

The uniform testimony of all those who have
tried narrowing wheat in the Spring is, that it
pays. One subscriber says: 81 have acted upon
the advice given by you, and find the result at
harvest most satisfactory. / began the custom
by narrowing fifteen acres, or about onehalf the
usual number of acres that l SOW. Ny neigh.
bOrs, who had never seen it done, insisted that
it would kill it out. / shall continue the prac-
tice, as have now procured one of the Thomas
smoothing harrOws, which, in great measure
enables me to dispense with the roller, which
still use, however, when the early Spring is an
unusually dry one. | think by using the har-
row that the wheat tillers-that is, stools-come
out better than when 1t is not cultivated in the
Spring"
Another subscriber writes as follows: ~ find
that narrowing wheat in the Spring pays well.
1t gives the wheat good start, and the harrow
