Coroner Fitzgerald concluded flying
trip through the county yesterday. He says
the wheat crop surpasses anything ever seen
in this section of country-the quality be-
ing superior, the yield extraordinary, and
the average much greater than ever before
seen. If the weather proves favorable to
threshing land there's the rub the result
will prove most gratifying to the farmers
especially and bread.eaters generally.
AT an hour too late to procure another
copy, our foreman discovered that the MSS.
of poem by I. A, NJ, which had been
specially reserved for to-day's issue, could
not be found anywhere in the office. With
a printer such losses are regarded as a
"matter of course" but almost anybody
else will be apt to ask show COULD they?'

Judges Baker, Harker and Browning
have not, as yet, agreed upon division Of
the circuit-hence it is not yet known
which one of the Judges is to preside in
Alexander or any other county. 1t is
highly probable, however, that each Judge
will be assigned his own county should he
desire it, A meeting was held in Harris
burg last week to arrange the matter; but
the conference adjourned before reaching
an understanding.
The first escape from the city Jail that
has occurred, to our knowledge, during
Mr.. Mahanney's services as jailer, occurred
Friday afternoon. James Madison John
son, the negro who was imprisoned for car
rying an ugly knife, being permitted to
pass out into the yard for bucket of wa
ter, got away. An officer from Fredricks-
town arrived yesterday to determine if J.
NJ. J. was the individual he is looking after
for cattle stealing; but Mr.. J. NJ. J. was not
on hand to inspect. The city is happily rid
of him, anyhow.
The colored girl, Emma Houston, OF
whom we spoke few days ago, has
through the efforts of her attorneys, been
released from the county jail As Emma Is
quite young, ill-favored, and scarcely able tc
provide for herself, her attorneys propose tc
still further interest themselves in her be.

diyidual who is responsible for the condi-

from confinement necessity. Like efforts
might be made in scores of similar cases,
much to the improvement of public morals.
In the examination raised upon the APP
plication of Mr. Reynolds to be admitted to
bail, the first witness was put upon the
stand about Z o'clock yesterday evening.

nesses for the defence, not here yesterday,
will be brought in Hon. d. I. Linegar,
Judge NJ c. Crawford, Hon. Jesse Ware
and Col. r. r. TONNES appear as attorneys
for the defence. Major Dennis, of Cape
Glrardeau, Mo, and Mr.. Day, States Attor-
ney for Union county, appear for the peo-
pie.
"A very large element of our colored
population manifest great interest in church
work and religious services. In one Of the
colored churches out in the bottoms, meet
ings are held nearly every evening of the week
and not unfrequently are protractcd until
after eleven o'clock at night. Besides this
all the colored people are very fond Of sing
inc, the measure of excellence in their 20
cal efforts being determined by the strength
Of the voice. AS all the exercises are lib
orally varied with singing, families in the
neighborhood are thus serenadcd into
placid slumbcr nearly every night. Some
ill-natured people profess to be annoyed;
but we have always observed that these
people are of Il class that have no music in
their souls, and don't know concord OF
sweet sounds" when they hear it. Furth.

law to intervene to prevent their removal

While we don't subscribe to the adagc
that "a little learning is dangerous thing,
we know it to be a fact that the little
learned individual who pretends much, not
untrequently invites derision. An instance
in line is the following; Several days ago
