GUS fourth, promises to be very much of
holiday. Early this morning, train will
start to the grand celebration at Edinburg,
where the old time festivities will again be
revived, and sthere will be the Grafton, the
military, the big dinner, and the potent bev
erages. succeeded by exhausted nature and
hat-rending headache. Many of the eScur-
sionists will go to Orkney and spend the
night and return tomorrow.
If the excursion loses some of its num-
bers at Fort Defiance, it will not be sur
prise, for the cool and inviting aspect of the
grove will tempt many who go for a days
recreation, to stop beneath it. 1t is certain
ly one of the most delightful spots in the
Valley.
The chief attractions of the day for Staun-
tonians will be at the Fair Grounds, where
the annual Catholic picnic, an occasion

be in full play.

There has been very limited transactions in
-four and none in wheat this week. Extra flour
was quoted yesterday $425 and no wheat Offering
Corn was quoted at so cents and firm Oats q, and
bacon, hog round, 81 to cents.
The wheat crop in the United States is simply
enormous About thirty million acres were in
wheat this year. being an increase OF about 10 per
cent, sown over that of last year. The crop prom
ises to exceed three hundred and fifty million
bushels, of which forty-fve millions will be
needed for seed, and it is estimated that we will
have 10000, 900 bushels surplus for shipment.
There are also 100000 acres in corn, Illinois
alone has 100000 and Iowa 100000. From Can
ada the private accounts also favorable to the
heaviest yield ever known. while advices from
California report that the crops in that State are
SO heavy that it will not pay expenses of wages to
harvest and send them to market. In view OF the
condition of the crops, it is estimated in New
York, that this year will show the lowest figures
for -four, wheat, corn, oats and hay known for
twenty years.
Such are the advices we have at this time, and
we give them to our readers for their careful
study.

F IR E.-Tuesday evening, about nine
O'Clock, tenement house in Gallowstown,
belonging to Mr.. Jno. Hounihan, and occu-
pied by several colored families, was burned
to the ground. At the time it caught there
was no one in the house except a small
colored girl and infant. The child had put
the baby to sleep and taken it up stairs. AS
she descended, with the lamp IN her hand,
some light clothing which was hanging
against the wall caught fire, and she, becom-
ing frightened, and not having presence of
mind to eXtinguish it, ran screaming into
the street. A colored woman who was near
ran up the burning stairway and rescued
the child, and a general alarm was sounded.
A large crowd soon collected, but it was
impossi ble to save anything from the upper
story, though every thing down stairs was
gotten out. The Fire Company was soon on
the ground, but for the reason that the new
coupling, which was unlike the old, and to
which the men were unaccustomed, was
difficult of adjustment, they were not as
prompt as usual in getting the streams on.
There was no special occasion for work,
however, as there was no adjacent property
in danger, and it was impossible to save the
building itself, which the Hook and Ladder
Company in short time had to pieces, and
thus saved some of the timber.
Every thing that Belonged to the occu-
pants of the upper story, who were very
sumed, and the loss will fall hea Willy upon
them. The house was worth about 5000.
In very few moments after the alarm
was sounded, about half OF the town was in
sight of the building. Men, women and
children poured forth to see the mass of
flames which was really very beautiful and
illumined the hills for miles around.
