Oats from Barley.

Uats from Barley.
A few weeks ago we published an account
from Anderson Of oats growing from barley
stubble or roots, and, like many other persons
here, thought there was some mistake about IL I;
but our doubts are now entirely removed. Last
Tuesday, Mr.. W. q Littlejohn, one of the most
reliable men in the State, informed us that he
saW, Oats g owing from the roots Of Barley, in
Rev. G. W. Boyd's garden, at Jonesville. To
make sure Of there being no mistake about it,
the Barley roots were taken frsm the ground,
washed, and thoroughly examined, and it was
found that the Oats had fairly sprouted from
them.

where below this town, on another route. The
inference We drew from what our informant said
was, that he suspected US or some one else of
Intentionally missending the package for a po-
Rieai purpose.
We wish to be understood. Our informant
did not say that he saw the package, but that
he was told so by one who did see it where it
could not be sent to its proper destination until
after the election.
We have another request TO make: will the
person who saw that package off its route to
Goudeysville give us'a certificate to that effect?
We con only say that the package was sent
from this Office, properly directed and further,
we ask why was it not found out and spoken of
until seven months after the occurrence? 1t

A SAD SuIciDE.-fhis community has rarely
perhaps never In the course of lis whole exis.
tence-been more suddenly Mortified or plunged
into deeper grief than by heartrending event
which occurred among US on Friday morning
last-the suicide of Mr.. Willie L. Bryan, son Of
Mr.. Is. c. Bryan and grandson Of the late G.. L.
Penn, Esq. The very names of his father and
grandfather will convey TO the minds of our
readers some idea Of tho deep and wide spread
grief caused by this shocking calamity, The
young man was just ~ years of age, of the
highest, brightest, most untarnished character
one can we'll imagine intelligent, genial ,'bravc,
generous, faithful, more beloved on all sides
than it is possible to tell; and still he delibe-
rately locked himself up in n lonely room and
took his own life, A little failure in his first
business venture, little financial difficulty
both trfing in realty-are all that is known
And even these n hundred friends would have
rushed forward at any Moment TO rectify. The
deed is profoundly inscrutable and to God be
left the judgmentl And to God the poor boys
friends have left it, for no human voice has ut
tered syllable concerning his rash act, save in
deepest love and tcnderest mercy. His funeral
took place on Saturday afternoon, and we pray
to God that we may never again vast and
united community in such an uncomfortable
agony Of grief and wailing. His comrades, the
Edgeheld Rifles, who one and oil, cherished him
with the proudest love, followed him to his final
resting place; and when the last prayer was
said, and they fired u voley above his grave, it
seemed like the sudden and fearful bursting of
human hearts. His final resting place did we
say? Let us hope that the God to whom we
humbly and lovingly defer the Judgment, may
make this poor boys final resting place in His
great bos min Hcauen! And may His mercy,
which endureth forever, fall in mighty abun-
dance upon the father, mother and sisters who
now weep rs poor human hearts have scarcely
ever wcpt before.-Edgefeld Advertiser.
