not much has been threshed as yet in this
neighborhood, but what has been is turning
out very well in quantity and excellent in
quality. Timothy hay is made and also is
good the oats harvest is finished and is the
best for many years. Corn and garden vege-
tation are looking well, especially corn, and
if the drought does not continue too long We
may expect bountiful yield. In our neigh

masters, mail carriers, doctors, merchants
and blacksmiths, and even our dress maker
went to cook fried chicken, and eat the gravy.

Mil cannot be hid The church is a very neat
one, beautifully frcscoed by j. III. Lampe, of

furniture, purchased in Boston. After the

was raised, sufficient sum to pay the present
indebtedness. The church is not vet com
pleted and it will require FIVE or six hundred

state Of excitement on Tuesday morning by
cries of Help! Helpl Police! &C. They came

double barrel shot gun at the supposed bur-
glar, who escaped in the darkness, being
foiled in his plans.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate /


ADRIAN, JACKSON Co., July Il, 1884.
MEssRs EDIToRs The weather for the
two weeks up to the 18th inst. was very fair,
but at that date we had very severe rain.
The almost numberless self-binders have
again gathered the golden grain, and at pres
ent the great self-propelling steam threshers
are engaged preparing it for market. These
threshers furnish all the hands, which is about
a dozen, and thresh for from to 10 cents per
bushel They run one feeder and two band
cutters, one on each side, and thresh at the
rate of 1900 bushels per day. Harvesting
wages here are, for shocking 81, hauling in
S1.5O, stackingSS. In this locality most grain
is greatly shriveled, while there is some that
is claimed to be of first class quality. On the
river bottom it is said that most of it is in
jured with the rust and greatly damaged from
shriveling also. The wheat marked at present
is very dull, wheat selling at from so to 60
cents per bushel. III IL
Corn looks well and is growing rapidly.
Early corn is in full tassel and some is shoot
ing.
Mr.. Hiram Plain and wife, of near New
Hope, Va, formerly of SANS Creek, Nd,

Rescue of Greeley.


Lieutenant Greeley and six Of his compan-
ions were discovered and rescued off Cape
Sabine, Smiths Sound, on the 22d of June,'
by a relief expedition despatched in April and
May of this year. One of these has since
died, leaving but six survivors. The other
nineteen perished from the terrible privations
to which SO many gallant men have been vic
tins in that region of ice and famine in the
last three hundred years.
This particular party was not despatched
upon any of the vain attempts to reach the
North Pole, nor was it an exploring expedi-
ton in the ordinary sense. Its mission was to
make observations upon meteorological, mag
netic, tidal and other phenomena in the far
northern region indicated on large modern
maps as Lady Franklin Bay, which is an estu-
airy of Kennedy's Channel, the latter being the
broad channel between the northwest coast of
Greenland and the highest land of the archi-
peligo to the extreme northeast of the Amer
lean continent. The expedition was an out
growth of the Signal Service which gives MS
our weather bulletins. Conferences were
held at Rome, Hamburg and Berne in 1873
1880 upon the subject of international Coop
Grafton with a view to the establishment of
observatories in high northern ATTITUDES by
the several countries represented in the COM
ference, and this station at Lady Franklin
bay, 10 Which lieutenant Greeley was sent,
was one of the two selected for the American
Government. The other is at Point Barrow,
in Alaska, much less perilous and far more
accessible place. Congress having provided
in 1880 for the expenditure, the expedition
was despatched in the Arctic voyaging steamer
Proteus the following year, arriving safely at
Lady Franklin Bay August 18th and 18th,
1881. The letters and dispatches sent home
from Lieutenant Greeley and his party by the
Proteus on her return, few days after that
were the last knowledge of the expedition tor
colony rather) until their rescue by the relief
vessels from which we have just heard.
Inladdition to the scientific observations
already mentioned, the party were to make
sledge journeys for exploration were to keep
a lookout for the Jeanette Expedition, the
fate of which was not then known, and were
to collect specimens of the plants, animals and
minerals found within their range.

80 acres, being Al bushels per acre. Z. b.
Vandyke got an average of 40 bushels per

The largest yield of wheat reported in the
state is that of Mr., Weedon Clay, Of Wood
vile, distriet Frederick county, who raised $40
bushels from a ten-acre field, an average of 81
bushels to the acre.
The wheat-threshing season in the neigh
borhood of Centreville, Queen Anne's county,
is now at its height. Wheat has turned out

thus far reported is that of Mr.. VIM. H. Price,
on Col. McKenney's Carmichael farm. His
yield was 48 bushels to the acre, or 40 to one
