d. NJ. Lusk has purchased the farm
of Ed. Panelle, on Section 4, Ransom
Mr.. l.. will have 100 acres broken this
year and will have the place farmed.
Mr.. Lusk believes that there is more
clear money in wheat raising in this
country than in anything else and he will
so into that. In this he agrees with
those who are opening large wheat
farms in Minnesota. Our readers NAV
remember that we gave the opinion of
Auditor Whitcomb, who visited our
town year or two ago, to the effect
that the best investment for capital in
this State is to take these wild lands
and raise wheat. Of course, exclusive
wheat raising would not he advisable,
but for men of capital who can open
farms of from half to whole section,
or more, we have no doubt that Mr..
Whitcomb is right.

ACCIDENT TO Mr.. RICE.

A letter received from Mrs. III. c..
Rice states that her husband met with
an accident recently at the hat factory
I in Bridgeport, Conn.,, where Mr.. r.
was employed. We copy portion of
the letter:
One week ago last Friday afternoon,
H. was seriously injured on his right
arm at the hat factory by some of the
machinery. There were 10 bones brok-
en-, but the fleshy part Of tile arm on
the under side was all torn to pieces,
one OF the cords on the lack of the arm
cut off and others slivered up. The
back OF his hand was also badly torn.
l have not touched my led until last
night. We have one Of the best sur
ge0ns In Bridgeport.
He begins to sit up 4 part of the
time, but I have to carry Ills arm for
him whenever he moves. cannot be-
gin to tell you how much he has suffer-
ed. He has been kept under the influ-
ence Of 0piates nearly all of the time.
The DR.. thinks he will lave perfect use
of his arm after it is well.
Last Thursday night the hat factory
was burned and IL lives lost. We live
but short distance from it. The men
who were lost were in the office, where
there was no fire, trying to get out the
safe, when the main building fell over
on that and crushed it in. killing them
instantly. After. heard of this, it
flashed on me like lightning that he
was hurt to save him from perishinQ
in that fire. Our physician said he told
his wife tho same thing, and several
others said they felt it was so. ''.'

MEssEYGER-wHo PAID HIS EXPENSES TO
WASHINGTON. '...' .
WASHINGTON, January 3.-Thcre is nothing
new in the Oregon evidence beyond the
facts that Parker and Miller, who acted
with Cronin in the Electoral College, are
Democrats, though they cast their ballots for
Hayes and Wheeler. Mr.. Cronin had no
conversation with Senator Kelly, and con-
suited no lawyer regarding his course. Al
ter being elected messenger, Cronin asked
leave to resign, as he could not afford to
make the trip. He had spent 800 in the
campaign, and had no promise that tue
money would be refunded to him; indeed,
he spent the money with no idea OF getting
it back. His Malpractice was worth
five to six thousand dollars year. Some
Democrats present expressed their willing
ness to help to pay his expenses to WASH
ington. He estimated the expenses at
$4,000. Those. present thought it too much,
but he would not come for less: He had
case in the Supreme Court which interfered
with his coming. Those he advised with
said, " You mi ght as we'll go, for unless
Tilden is elected the country is gone, and
then the case won't amount to anything"
Mr.. Bellinger, chairman OF the Demo
cratic committee, had So, 800, and the addi-
tional two hundred was raised by note

forget the national political trouble and
complications, and give themselves up to
the enjoyments OF the usual Christmas fes-
tivities.
.The Chestnut Grove Baptist Sunday
school celebrated the night OF the 18th with

the most interesting character. Addresses

sons. The Rev. Mr.. Davis is pastor. The
congregation has been worshiping at the
Methodist Episcopal church for some
months.
Several large and commodious dwellings
are in process of erection.
Our people are very much harassed by
tramps. \ few nights ago one OF them at
tempted to make himself comfortable by
building q fire in 4 box-car at the depot.
The fire was discovered in time to prevent
destructive conflagratiou. He was ar
rested, and in default Of surety sent to Jail.
John Lawson (colored). an employs OF
the Richmond and Danyille Railroad Com

KING WILLIAM COUNTY.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch

WEST POINT, VA, January 8, 1877.
Such continuance Of severe weather has
not been known hereabout for ten or fif-
teen years. The Mattaponi is entirely
blocked up with ice. The ferry-boats from
this place to the King and Queen shore had
to cut their way through the ice Yesterday,
and it is thought that it will be impossible
to do that even to-day. The "noble York"
however, defes the ice, and still presents
an Enclosed surface.
The ship which has been expected here
for some time to load with cotton for Liver
pool came in sight yesterday evening, but
on account Of adverse wind and tide had to
anchor little way down the river. This is
something unusual to our people, but we
expect it to be "but beginning Of the
good things in store for u.s."
Our citizens, Notwithstanding the bad
weather, spent merry Christmas, and 1
am sure we all unite in wishing tor you,
Messrs. Editors, q happy New-Year, and
for your valuable paper greatly-increased
prosperity. QUI.
