Dry weather since Wednesday has

too sweet, will not rise 10 dough. The
crop all round is not much over so

the supply Of foreign wheat being
unusually small, the farmers are
getting high prices, which will, in
some measure, compensate them for
the deficiency, but the arrival of
foreign cargoes will soon cause a
decline. The loss by this disastrous
season will fall principally upon the
landlords. For the last two or three.

the rents, and there is hardly a farmer
who does not owe at least an eighteen

hoped to be able to clear off the
arrearages, but instead of that they
will be compelled to ask for another

to meet the settlements and iointures

Nothing p~leasanter connected with

He talks rapidly, in a soft voice, and
is never at a loss for words to carry his
listeners attention far from thoughts
Of the speaker himself. Mr.. Stuart
dips into philosophy, poetry, science
or political economy when a question
bearing upon his personal affair is
asked. The only impression he leaves
by this is that of a gentleman of ex-
cessive modesty." Mr.. Stuart is, of
course, interested in his own case; so
much so that he sat in the office all
the while until his successor was
elected until July and watched the
investigators at their work" Every
day he would describe how the detec-
tives had been shadOwing him the
night before, aud then he would clll
his friends attention to the terrors 'of
the circumstantial evidence. When
be had left the office, and was arrested,
he came smiling into court, and rested
his case upon the evidence offered by
the prosecution, and when he was dis
charged again, and shook hands with
the District Attorney, and went home
todiscuss circumstantial evidenceagain
with his little circle, When he was
arrested the second time be was found

There is something antique and

We have been favored by a pentle-
man Of Columbus with the following
poem from the pen of General Robert
Lowry, our candidate for Governor.
which was written by that gentleman
during the sitting Of a court martial
here in 1862, of which he was a mem
Der. The heroine of the poem, "the
girl with the short hair" now de-
ceased, was at the time one of Column
bus most beautiful and accomplished
young ladies', who was compelled to
part with her tresses on account of
sickness. She appeared in the audi
ence during the sitting Of the court
martial, and doubtless attracted the
admiration Of the General. The poem
is written on what is known as Soon
federate paper, aud is much worn and
faded, so much so, that the seventh
verse is not legible and is omitted:
