Presidentaleyeiand.

Quite large crowd gathered on short
notice was at the C. & q. depot Friday last
to take a look at President Cleveland as
he passed east on the $40 p. m. train from
his fishing trip at Daggers Springs and
vicinity. The special car was attached to
the regular Washington & White Sulphur
train. AS the train pulled into the depot
the SLOnewali Band heralded the welcome
and the crowd by appropriate music. The
President came out On the rear platform
and shook hands with a large number in
the crowd. A young man, said to be from
Baltimore, asked the President for his
autograph: the President said this is no
time for autographs Some called for a
speech. and he replied, Il am not Oh an
electioneeriDg tour" The President
seemed TO be in excellent health, and took
the very silly custom of ''hand shaking"
in thorough good humOr. There WAS a
had been formed by those who had only
seen pictures of the President. Some
were agreeably disappointed, and some
not. Horse Radish Jim and two or three
other colored people joined in the hand
shak ing, and one very enthusiastic indi-
vidual in his efforts to attract the atten-
tion of the President. thumped him pretty
heavily on the breast, but apparently all to
no purpose. Daniel (Lamont) the famous
secretary. did not make his appearance.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller Of
West Virginia. was the only erson Oh the
platform of the car with the President.

Toe Wheat Market.

The rise in wheat noted last week con-
tinues to be maintained. The reports
from the crops from the Northwest and
from Europe. sustain the conclusion that
the price will be kept up to present figures,
il not advanced. The shortage In the
American crop ID estimated at 100000 600
to &c, 100000 bushels; it is believed that
England will need JOG. 600 900 bushels, ole
half Of which may come from India: in
France the crop is deficient, and SO, 600 900
bushels will have to be imported Ger
many will require lO,0O0,O0O; Italy IS crop
is below the average. and Russian wheat
has been much damaged. If these reports
be correct, the demand upon this country
will be fully up to every bushel that can
be spared. after reserving enough for home
consumption. The corn crop throughout
the United States will be very large. The
farmers. indeed, have had a prosperous
year-have no reason for complaint. With
fair prices for wheat, an abundant corn
and oats crop and good hay yield. there is
much for which to be grateful. and assure
prosperity.

A letter received by Judge J. w. Stout
from gentleman writing from Harvey.
Oregon, states that James Nj. Bright was
murdered there on the county road, on the
5th Ut May. 1855. Papers found on his
person show that he was from Augusta
county, Va. and that he was interested in
Hart estate. There is also property in
Harvey, belonging to the deceased s estate,
and the object of the letter to Judge
Stout is to gain information of the rela-
tives of the murdered man. Bright was
about 80 years OF age, had black hair and
was of dark complexion. If there are
relatives living in Augusta county, they
can find out the particulars of the estate
of Bright. by writing to Judge Maxey.
Canyon city, Grant county, Oregon. The
writer of the letter from which we gather
the facts as here stated. says that he
thinks the deceased had brother named
Thos. Bright. The effects of the deceased.
including the papers found with him, are
in the hands of the coroner.

MIR. Thicker in FluYanna.

A writer in the Dispatch from Palmyra,

of H. St. Geo. Tucker. Esq,
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
10th district, as well as his dramatic atte-
Undermining, He said THE present ad-
ministration had reclaimed l0o,0OO,Voo
acres of the public land. the proceeds from
the sale of which he would devote to the
uses of public education. At this Juncture
the speaker Invested himself OF his cravat,
collar and coat, ana went with a vim TOT
Mr.. Harrison, whom he described as
man VERY civil in military affairs, and as
very military in civil affairs" But when
he portraved him as the apostle of Chinese
immigration and with gun on shoulder TO
hunt down the Knights of Labor the plau
dts of the audience made the Welkln
ring"
| As to the reclamation Of the lands men
toned, il was provided in the Legislation
by which land grants were given to aia IN
the construction of railroads, that II they
we're not completed in certain stipui'ted
times. the lands so granted were to leVefp
to the government. 1t is simply enforcing
the conditions upon which they were
given, that Republican member OF Con
gress, Mr.. Payson. of Illinois, introduced
q bill to give the laws effect. But wh zen
Mr.. Tucker says that this loo,ooo,ool
acres of public lands is to be appropriated
to public school education be speaks WIN
out authority. 1t is possible he mlgh'
vote for some bill like that OF MT. Cram

the proceeds Of the sales of public lands u
: be dedicated to educational purposes. but INT
real purpose of WHICH was tokill the blail
Bill. We infer from this reported reMarl
of Mr., Tucker that he does not approve

measure that would appropriate TIT
