The man who sows wheat this fall
should send off for his seed. 1t is well
to change seed wheat often, and bring
1t always from a point to the north of
your locality. Ii Is not advisable to
change varieties, but 1t pays TO change
the seed and that often.

BURNING OF A TUGBoAT.-The tug
boat Potomac passed this city Tuesday
evening having a large three-masted
schooner in tow. As she glided along
an ex-river pilot remarked that the Po-
tomac kept up q long time, she having
been about here for at least thirty
years. 1t proved to be her last trip,
however, as she ended her career in
St. Clements Bay the following night,
having burned to the waters edge. At
ter leaving the schooner somewhere
near Blackistone's Island Wednesday
she ran into St. Clements Bay that
night, tied up at wharf and the crew
soon fell asleep to be awakened in o
few hours by the smell of smoke and
the cracking and swapping produced
By fire which in some mysterious
manner had been started. The crew
turned out and worked heroically for
time in vain efforts to subdue the
flames but they were forced to desist
and seek shelter on shore. Most OF
their effects were destroyed. The Po-
tomac was commanded by Captain Geo.
Bell, and she was probably the Oldest
tugboat on the river, having made her
appearance in these waters either dur
ing or at the close of the late war. She
was insured for 800 in Alexandria
companies.

A SERIOUS AccIDENT.-Mr. Richard
Mason, driver of one of Messrs.
Aitcheson & Bros. lumber wagons, was
the victim OF serious accident be-
tween FIVE and six o'clock yesterday
evening on the wharf at the foot OF
Prince street. Mr.. Mason was engaged
at the time in loading the wagon and
had mounted it for the purpose OF al
justing some lumber, when the mules
became refractory and started to run
away. The movement was 30 sudden
that Mason was thrown to the ground
and the wagon passed over him, some
of the lumber from the wagon falling
on him in the meantime. When PICK
ed up it was found that one OF his eyes
was almost knocked out of its socket, a
bad cut was on his head and one OF his
arms was apparently broken. He was
conveyed to his home on south Lee
street where DR.. O'Brien attended him
Mr.. Mason's injuries are seemingly OF
a serious nature. though it cannot be
definitely ascertained whether or not
he has suffered internally.

WILL ADOPT HEROIC MEASURES
The sinking of the garbage scow from
Washington off this city on Wednes,
day will, it is believed, do more toward
stopping the Washington authorlties
from menacing the health of the peo-
pie of this city than expostnlation or
moral suasion. 1t is fact that after
Dr. Purvis sunk one of the scows in
Hunting creek last summer no more
were moored there. Mayor Strauss
has concluded to take the bull by the
horns and adopt heroic measures IN the
premises, and should any other scows
be moored in front of this city he will
proceed Immediately to have them
sunk. Many people who suffer from
the stencil occasioned by them are
ready and anxious to form posse to
aid the work of destruction. A tug

groom was obliged to 60 out, borrow a

blow for help. Faulk was taken home
and made to disgorge the drug.

INQUIRY CONCERNING INSURANCE.
CoMPANIEs.-The Spectator, an insur.
ance journal of New York, contains ar.
ticies this week from Mr.. ]. NJ. Mason
aud Judge ]. h. M. Norton, of the Cor.
poration Court of this city, in regard to
the Farmers and Mechanics Insurance
Company, which has been represented
in this city by General Estes. Mr.. Ma
son asserts that the company has failed,
that there are number of unpaid
judgments against it, that those COM
posing the corporation have obtained
another charter from the County Court
under the name ofthe Farmers and Me-
chanics Fire Insurance Co. of Alexan-
dria county, and claim that the com.
pany in this city is branch of that.
The writer suggested that the editor
communicate with Judge Norton on
the subject, which was done and the
latter has replied. The Judge says the
company was chartered by him, it
having been recommended by sew.
eral Senators. Its business, he
thinks, must have been large. Gen.
eral Estes was the head and front of
the company. Recently it was c)m-
PEELED to compromise on fifty cents
on the dollar and about dozen
judgments were awarded against
it by the Corporation Court of this
city. General Estes. the Judge says.
asserted that the company was force
ed into trial by the presentation OF
fraudulent claims and that the COM
pany had no time in which to prepare
Its defense. This statement the Ju, Q
denies, saying the company had all the
time wanted, but failed to present
defense, Its attorney saying it had
none. The Monarch and Plantation
companies, the Judge says, are of the
same stripe, there being at present
several judgments against the former.
