cE- The Charlestown Free Press says:
The sabre which John Brown had upon
his person ut the time he was captured at
Harper's Ferry, the 10th of next month
% years ago, is now in the possession OF
Gen. +. G. Baylor, of this county. 1t is
an interesting relic, one we have no
doubt which would be highly priced by
individuals or associations collecting rel
les of that notable individual. As to its
genuineness there is not the shadow of a
doubt, it having come into possession OF
Gen. Baylor directly from Col. K. W..
Baylor, President of our County Court,
who received il from the hands of old
"Ossawatomie." Other relics of that
eventful time are in possession of citizens
of this town and vicinity. all Of which
can be certified as genuine.

A CHANCE For Our YOUTH.-Mr.
Butcher, Superintendent Free Schools,
has received word from DR.. j. l.. NJ. Cur
~, Superintendent of the Peabody Edu-
cational Fund that this State is entitled to
six scholarships in the Nashville, Tenn,
Normal Sceool. There will be one APP
pointment from each Congressional. Dis
irict of the State and two appointments
from the State at large. There have been
established i'm this College number OF
Scholarships, of 5000 each, for the ell
couragement and aid of students from the
different Southern States, whose charac-
ter, abilities, general culture and health
give SPECIAL promise of usefulness as teach
erS.
e Why can not our State do some
thing Of tile came kind for her meritorious
Young men and women? Must she always
send abroad for well-trained teachers?
Ii she had put her Normal Schools on a
firm footing at the start and encouraged
them in their work, we would now have
far more wcll-trained teachers than we
have.

w EARLY OR LATE WHEAT SEEDING.-
The season has been very favorable for
preparing the ground for wheat seeding.
The result is where wheat has been sOwn
early, its growth is rapid. There is danger
now that its growth will be too rapid, and
its exposure to the fly greater. Late sown
wheat may be best, as it is likely to have
ample time to grow, and the cooler fall
weather will protect it against the fly.
Last fall wheat was sown late, the drought
delayed blowing, yet we have the largest
crop ever raised in this section. IL must
be observed that much depends on the
season which is best, early or late seed
ing.
