The IIarvest.-The wheat crop In
this locality has been harvested. At the
beginning of the harvest the weather
was very unfavorable, and it was feared
that the constant rains would injure the
wheat. On Friday last, however, it
cleared and it has been perfect for the
purpose desired ever since. The wheat
stood up well, except in few places,
and was gathered without loss or
trouble. Most of the farmers used self
binders. The quality of the wheat is eX-
celent and the quantity is fully up to
the expectations Of big crop. In fact,
we have heard number of farmers
say it has shocked better than they
had thought. There is no material
change in the price, hut the big crop
will help make up for this. We hope
our farmer friends will report to US their
big yields when they thresh.

Serious Accident.-On Saturday

very serious accident, which it is feared
may yet prove fatal. He was driving
his buggy with two grand children, a
son and daughter Of Mr.. John Dean,
when he was run into by a reckless
driver, whose identity has not been
clearly established, at the intersection
of the Winchester turnpike and John
street, causing his horse to run down
John street. When opposite the resi-
dence Of Mr.. William Byrnes the little
boy was thrown out and, although con-
erably bruised, was not seriously in
jured; at the intersection of John and
Raleigh, Mr.. Snodeal and the younger
child were thrown out, he holding on to
the reins and clasping the little one in
his arms was dragged some distance.
The little girl was thus saved but the
poor old grandfather was terribly in.

shoulder dislocated, his hand broken

on their way from Missouri to Bal
timore, and their money run out at
Grafton, and they proposed walking the
rest of the way. In getting out of the
way of west bound freight train they
stepped directly in front of No. G, which
was running at the rate Of fifty miles
an hour. His wife, who is OF a nervous
disposition, stepped from the track
barely in time. Her husband and child
stepped OH the track, not looking back,
and the noise of the freight train pre-
vented him from hearing the passenger
train. Both were instantly killed.
Coroner Nathan Hovermale was sent
for and went at once to Hancock and
took charge of the two bodies. No in
quest was held, as it was thought un-
necessary. The remains were brought
to this place and inferred in Greenway
cemetery Sunday morning. A good
sum of money has been raised by our

sures of the earth's crust to the heated
interior. Now, as the interior of the
earth is believed to contain much
carbon, either in a state of purity or
in alloy with metals, such as iron,
salt water percolating through the
crusts from the ocean beds, and COM
ing in contact with the very hot mass,
must, of course become superheated
steam, and the interchange Of ele-
ments between it and the carbonized
metals become easy. When the pres
sure Of the vapor is sufficiently great
it must find an avenue of escape. In
the case of oil and gas deposits this is
presumed to be affected through small
assures temporarily forced open, the
cooling in the upper rocks relieving
the pressure. That some more aque-
Gus vapor should discharge itselfalong
with the carburetted hydrogen is to
be expected, and the condensation of
this would account for the salt water
deposits. Recognizing a similarity
to valcanic action in the production
of gas and oil, some rational estimates
on their distribution and the probable
durability of the supply may be
found.

Origin of Natural Gas.

New theories as to the origin Of
petroleum and natural gas are con-
stantly arising, writes a correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press, but no
theorist can ignore the almost invari-
able presence of salt water in gas and
oil wells. NJ. Berthelot, the French
chemist, actually manufactured crude
petroleum, and in the process noted
the facts which have been observed
in connection with the development
of petroleum nature. These were,
principally, that salt water in the
form of superheated steam, when in
contact with carbonized iron, would
decompose into its elements, or rather
the oxygen contained in it, pursuing
the laws of chemical affinity, would
unite with the iron, while the carbon
of white hot iron passed off and uni
ted with the hydrogen of the water,
forming oxide of iron on one hand
and hydro-carbon gas on the other.
Monsieur Berthelot's experiments
demonstrated the origin of natural
gas and petroleum in theory, allowing
for the differences in his Paris labora.
