4 Fine Play Well Put Upon the stage
Last Night.

A large audience at the Opera House last
night saw Lights O. Loudon for the first
time on Wheeling stage, and came away
with the impression that it is strong, i'm

pathoS and frightened anon by touches of

naughty Squire 10 the drunken wretch in
london streets, il is accurate and life.like.
The characters were ell well taken, and the
presentation was artistic and very success
tul. Mr.. J. l.. Burleigh gave
very strong rendering OF the leading
part, Harold Armytage, and whether
as the proud outcast, the tender

thoroughly into the spirit Of his part, and
gave a very satisfactory performance. Miss
Geneyieye Stebbins gave the strong emo.

called forth frequent and hearty applause,
The other parts of the cast were very well
sustained, and would deserve special men.

Perhaps the most attractive feature OF
the entertainment was the splendid scenery
which, it is safe to say, has never been sur

FIRST act to the sixth was worthy OF admi-

their all, for that season. We hear of damage from hail in other quarters. Three of my near neighbors tell me of their loss on their crops.
 Now I rest on this and give a few opinions I have about the business Corn was not f:.ll crop and the exper- fence had will illustrate point. l finished planting two acres the 10th of JuEe, and late and wet as 1t was, the crop made rapid growth and would have been ripe and heavy, but the cold nights caused it to stand still and not fill out and ripen. The frost came and I went to feeding the stalks and corn to anything that would eat them. My plan was to feed it when the cob and stalk were sweet, and in three weeks time my stock used it up. Compare this with a frosted tobacco crop.
 see farmers who get large amounts from a small piece of land, and once l went to see the most successful tobacco raiser around here, and went through his field with him. It did look nice and after talking with him I sat myself to thinking the matter over; found it too risky. shall always feel that the grass crop Is the crop to raise in this latitude and all our labors should be done on our farms with that object in view. I do not stop for the results of one years operations, nor compare the net results of an acre of wheat with an acre of to- bacco, that is not the case in hand. Neither is 1t the stand take, and l am sure my figures and statistics about the one article of wheat raising are notneed- ed in this case. Operations on the farm that have only one years interest in view are not often beneficial to the land owners. We must break up the old fields occasionally, to keep them in grass and use up the manure proitably, and things that we can raise and save buying should be raised.
 I find that clover and grass grows bet ter after wheat than any other grain you can SOW it with. There may be farmers who can work in tobacco with regular rotation of crops and do justice to the meadows and pastures at the same time, but have never seen them and now I think every reader will draw their own conclusions, who knows anything about farming.
 Farmers have in their charge the land that supports mankind their mission is to keep it in good condition and have each years operation make it better than it was. The cropping ought not to exhaust the natural resources of the farm, for any one can see this to be plain fact, if the land is robbed of its fertility the crops will be poor and it costs more to get worn-out land back to where it originally was, than it is worth. Experience in this kind of business demonstrates this fact My benediction in this case is, God save us from having any occasion to use tobacco or tramps.
 Yours,

William SarGlam's Letter.

Editor Ne,cS It seems that some people do not fairly understand the to- bacco question, and with your permis- sion will say few words more on the subject
 wish it to be understood that feel no i'll will towards those who raise the weed. I feel like this - farmers are having hard time to make their bus mess remunerative and as one of the fraternity, am always glad to hear a brother farmers ideas on any subject relative to our common prosperity.
 All farmers understand this feeling for it is common practice with us to compare our crops and stock and advise with one another, and possibly differ in opinion, but never entertain i'll feeling about it.
 When I saw what luck farmers had with their tobacco crop, last fall, I felt a sympathy for their failure that none but farmer could feel; also had per sonal acquaintance and deal with many of them, and never had it more forcibly illustrated, that what injured one of us injured all This is fact that neigh bors should bear in mind.
 saw nice piece of tobacco on Chas. Smiths farm and he was the lucky man in several respects. The late Archibald Taft owned that piece of land many years. and on it raised his wheat and favorite crops. It is sandy loam, handy to the manure heap and always received more fertilizer than any other piece of land on the farm. I suppose his returns were satisfactory. Another man east of Smith lost S1, ,000 on his tobacco crop He did not cut it, and several others lost in the same way. The tobacco was
