BAREvILLE, Pa, Aug. 9th, 1878.
My cultivated wheat last year was grand sue
cess, having raised GIT bushels per acre. This
was on n small plot of several acres which was in
high order. This year a field containing 9
acres and So perches, without manure, 1 raised
4541 bushels Of wheat, of the Clawson variety-an
average of 47s bushels per acre. which, taking the
difference in the quality of the land and the size
of the field into consideration consider is even
better than last years yield. My wheat was Wis
tied this year by hundreds of persons and various
ly estimated at from 45 to 55 bushels per acre.
And am confident if it had not been affected by
the red rust which was universally the case
throughout this section this season, that the yield
would have been fully IS bushels per acre. In all
my experience of AZ years farming, never raised
such wheat and grass as L am now raising by cul-
tivating in the spring. LEVI W. CROFT.

had not all been threshed, when he wrote, though
all the fields are nearly alike and will not vary
much in the yield. He enclosed circular from

(William Morris) with a club breaking one of his
fingers. This was the beginning of the trouble.
The shooting referred to did not take place on the
road, but at home. There was a discussion be-
tween William and Knight about a colt when the
latter, without proyocation, drew his pistol and
fired three shots at him. none of which took effect
And finally, Mrs. knight was not arrested at
home but came to Towsontown, where she was ar
