Sensations at Smethnnrt.

The county seat is usually looked
upon hy the inhabitants Of more
bustling towns as Il very quiet slow
going borough. Within the past year,
however it has picked up wonderfully.
The building of the elegant new Court
House seems to have stimulated the
business of the place and many new
and substantial buildings are being
erected The hub is unqueslionably
thriving and prosperous. Among
other indications of more worldly airs
envelopins that highly respectable
borough is the number OF delicious
scandals that have of late become the
theme of gossip for the careless and
CONSERVATION among the more staidly
circunspect. Several divorce eases
are now before the Courts, the result
of the conju9al infelicities Of those
who have sworn to love and honor
each other.
The latest theme OF gossip Is The
death Of one ofthc temporary residents
of the borough, under circumstance"
that many OF the citizens consider de-
mani8 investigation. \ man named
Goo WAS under the care Of one OF the
leading Physicians and surgeons OF the
place, suffering with stilitNed leg,
partially drawn up at the knee. The
treatment adopted by the surgeon was
TO sLraighten it by main force. BY the
means employed the leg was straight
encd. 1t had to be or break. The
consequence was, as reported to us,
that the poor mau's leg was so badly
manglel that it was necessary TO AIM
putato it lie was placed under the
influence Of chloro.ornl and the opera
ton performed, bat he never recovered
seusibility. The case is the OCCASION
Of mach comment and many OF the
ci,ilsns are very indignant thc;cat.-

New York june 2l.-Congressman
John Il. Weaver, GreenbaolS nominee
for the presidency, was in this city
Yesterday. "What are the prospects
of the new psrty?' queried the cor
respondent. Excellent" was the
reply. 1--WE shall make vigorous
aud aggressive canvass. ] Ibelieve that
we shall carry Maine, California and
Texas, and elect an additional number
OF Congressman. 1t Is more than
probably that the presidential election
will be decided by the House Of Rep
resentatives, and the Greenbackers hold
the balance of power" General
Weaver says he shall make some
speeches during the campaign.

Cincinnati, June iS.--A despatch
to the Gazette says: James Vorus.
this morning at Bussaville, Ind. en-
tered the saloon OF J. Mass and, with
out warning, fired 1--WE shots at Jacob
Vogus, his father. Four balls struck
the victim, one in the neck, one in the
shoulder, one in the left side and one
in the groin. lie cannot live through
the night. Five persons saw the
shooting, and Vogus was arrested.
He says he did the act deliberately,
being crazed over pending lawsuit in
which he sizes his father for five years
wages. Mr.. Vogus made his VIII this
afternoon. His property is estimated
at $i5 900. Threats are made of ivnch-
ing the murderer.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
Republican convention at Chicago
tool; more ballots than any other. The
largest number of ballots ever taken
in national convention i'm choosing
IL candidate for President was at
Charleston in 1860, when the Demo-
Gratis had fiity-seven ballots without
choice. In the Wing national c0nven-
ton OF 1882, there were hity-three bal
lots. Winfield Scott was he nominee,
and in the same year 1t took forty-nine
ballots for his successful competitor,
General Franklin Pierce, whose name
was not presented until the thirty
fifth ballot. Lincoln was chosen on
the third ballot in 1869, and Oh the
first in 1864 General Grant was un-
animously nonlinated on The FIRST bal
lot in 1868, and again in 1872.

The Wheat Crop.

We regret oshear such almost universal
complaint OF toe injury sustaiAed by the
growing wheat during the closing days of
last week.. Fields which last Thursday it
was estimated Would yield from twenty to
thirty bushels to- the acre, are now put
down at not more than one-haf that
AMOUNT. The blight is attributed to the
exceedingly hot sun of Friday and oatur-
day, which it is said completely dried. up
the soft grain-the heads turning white,
and the upper ends being nothing more
than aft .-LoAdo,e Mirror.
Thereshas been avery great falling off
in the wheat prospect during the last week.
For some not we'll defined reason, the
wheat has matured poorly, and fields that
two weeks ago promised twenty and thlr-
ty bushels per acre now will hardly yield
ten. Complaint as to this gong back
of the wheat, as the farmers call IT, is gen.
eral, yet some fields have escaped.-Fs'a-
castle Herald. s
One of the largest and bestx Uniformed
farmers Of Nelson was in the City yester-
day and gave rather a gloomKa2eco unt of
the crop prospect in that coupV lie is a
large wheat grower, aud his farm is one OF
the best in Piedmont Virginia for produ-
CHG this cereal. Taking hissoWn as an
average crop, he informed rs THAT he will
lgatheri about six hundred bushels from
land swkleh under ordinary circumstances
prpdalceS. from one Thousand to twelve
hundred. bushels.-Lymchburg Viryinaan..
