ment business.
A we'll founded rumor, though at pre-
sent unauthenticated, was heard on
the street last Saturday that Editor Nc.

the county states that wheat which be
sowed in one forward season, on the 10th
of March, was cut down four times by
frosts and yielded 10 bushels, while

from six to ten days after wheat can be
put in.
