There are number of persons
about town, without trade, who re-
fuse to perform labor except at their
own price, and will loaf on the street

the young men to learn trades or en-
gage in farm work and thus hard
times will to some extent be olivia

Mr.. james Il. Rayburn, of Cooper
District, informs us that in all his
experience in farming he has never
had such a poor prospect for wheat
as he has this year, while his neigh
bors all around him will have an
abudant yield, and to spare. The fly
