SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
GlcunIngs from our State Exchange

the past week has seriously damaged the
wheat and oats crops, andi is feared By
some that the crop will be almost a fail
urc. It has caused rust and mildew in it.
and much of the wheat is now lying fiat
upon the ground. twill require an un-
usual amount of vitality in the stalks to
enable them to recover from the effects
of rust and mildew, coming SO early in
the season......One day last week, Mr..
John Patrick, of White Oak, was having
some blasting done in his we'll, which
was ola depth of sixty feet. On descend;
ing the well, after one of the blasts had
been discharged, it was found that on
iron wedge has been blown out of the
solid rock in which it had been embed
ded. 1t was picked out from the debris
and fragments of rock lying in the bot
tom of the we'll, and is now in the posses
sion of Mr.. Patrick, still having portions
of the rock adhering to it. How it came
to be in the rock at depth of sixty feet
we will not pretend to say; but there are
witnesses of unimpeachable veracity
who will testify to the truth of the fact.
