Shiplcy Items.

DIR. Moore, of Finksburg, was here this
week and vaccinated fourteen of our school
children; there are others to undergo the
same later on.
We had very heavy rain here ON the 18th
instant; it started washouts in many of the
grain fields, and many of our pnblc roads
were badly washed in places.
The early sown wheat is looking very fine;
some have their rye to SOW.
Farmers are busy hushing corn and many
complain of short crops too.
Our worm seed raisers are distiling their
crops; the yield is somewhat short; neither
does the buckwhat yield per bushel more
than IA or II pounds of meal.
Mr.. John Spencer. of Bird Hill, let his
horses attached to his huckster wagon get
away frem him near this place, on the 18th
instant They ran on the Washington road
for more than mile, when they were stopped
by Mr.. Washington Reese. His chickens
were all liberated; the eggs which he had
gathered were broken, and one wheel of his
wagon was mashed down. While running,
the runnawavs came in contact with Mr.. Rob
ert Wilson, who was driving horse to a road
cart. One of Wilson's cart shafts was broken
in three pieces; one wheel was smashed down;
and Mr. Wilson was slightly hurt, but his
horse escaped injury. We would advise him
to hook his horses before leaving them here
after
Monday brought lis the first heavy frost of
the season, and Tuesday seemed to follow
with all equinoctial storm, and on Wednes
day the young folks were out early gathering
up the blown down chestnuts.
Lafayette day was observed here as requir-
ed by the school board and many were the
pennies donated to help erect suitable
monument to mark the final resting place of
Gen. Lafayette who helped the American
colonies to gain their independence.

Large Expectation Of Wheat

New York, Oct. l9.-Durng the past nine
days the export purchases of wheat have
averaged over 1,OOO,O 900 bushels a day, the
total being Gigs, 900. In the same period
the export purchases of corn have aggregated
1865, 900 bushels, an average of over 500, 900
bushels day. Today's buying broke the
record for this season, being estimated at l,
100000 bushels of wheat and 10000 bushels
of corn The largest previous day this month
was Tuesday, the 11th, when the foreign buy
ing of wheat was l.40S, 900 bushels and of
corn l,0S0,00O bushels. The present activity
in cash wheat for shipment is remarkable.
Moreover, it has come as a surprise to many
of the professional operators. The move
ment has never Teen equalled except dnring
the Letter deal, when speculative manipula-
ton and war excitement produced abnormal
con iitions. But there is now no big deal on
foot and no war in progress. The outlook is
for great crop of wheat. Nevertheless
foreigners are taking advantage of prevailing
prices to buy enormous quantities of our
grain. 1t is evident that they believe that
European necessities will be sufficient to alb
sorb whatever surplus we may grow. Prices
of wheat advanced II to 1sc. and of corn SC.
