The plan Of campaign contemplated before
the Generals Of Divisions left England has been
essentially altered. II was intended that the
FIRST Division under Lord Methucn should de
bark at Cape Town, the Second under Gen. Cery
at Port Elizabeth, the Third under Gen. Gatacrc
at East London. But these commanders on reach
ing Cape Town learned that there was such need
for urgency both in Natal and on the kimberley
frontier that the Third Division was split in two

Threshing and the Wheat Yield.

The reports of the wheat yield is
very gratifying, especially as the cal
culations of the farmers are more than
exceeded, as from the hard winter and
dry spring, the stand of wheat in the
fields looked rather light.
Last week was not good threshing
week as was the previous one Tues
day being National Holiday and from
Thursday to Saturday night, threaten
ing or rainy weather.
Among the yields that have come to
our notice have BEEN J. H. Donovan,
on the farm of S. g. Wilds, average
over the whole field of 81 bushels per
acre, but the yield of new variety of
wheat, the ECLIPSE, was 55 bushels
from an acre and a half, or 81 bushels
per acre. This wheat did not differ in
size and color from that about it
but it did in yield.
Chas. H. MattifOrd, on the farm of
Walter o. Hoffecker, had an average
of "a bushels per acre. He had six
varieties of wheat in the fields, but
there was not a great deal of differ
ence in the yield in them, except the
Carl's Prolific, which yielded 80 bush
els per acre. The Rudy is beauti-
full grain wheat, grown on the farm Of
John Heitshu, q bushels per acre.
John w. Houston had 81 bushels
per acre. He had some of the
ECLIPSE" but the yield on his lane
was not so large as on Mr.. Wilds
farm, being little different from that
of the other varieties.
Robert H. Hill, in the Galley" haC
on one field, yield of "a bushels PEI
acre. George Whitlock on the "Milli
gan farm" near Odessa, had 3,1O(
bushels from 100 acras.
G. Frank Gootee near Clayton, hat
80 bushels per acre.
Harry Slaughter, on the farm of Jas
P. Hoffecker, near town, had an aver
age of q bushels to the acre. Their
are doubtless other excellent crop
that we have not heard of. The gen
earl average is stated to be from Is
20 bushels and more per acre.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars;

The principal matter of local inter
est this week has been the starting of
the Farmers Boat Line, their centre
of interest being about the office used
by the Brady Steamboat Co. before
the sale of the boat and property to
the Transportation Company. The
new craft-the barge "Coleta" and
tug-came up the river Sunday even
ing, received freight Monday and left
for Philadelphia about o'clock that
afternoon. The "Coleta'' went up
with load which its. supporters ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with,
and the same was the case with the
Geo. F. Brady, of the Transportation
line, 2400 bushels of wheat besides a
satisfactory quantity of other freight.
The fact of two lines competing for
the river freight, with the experiences
that have centered about steamboating
very naturally absorbs public atten-
tion.

The drought that had prevailed for
two months was broken last week by
good rains. The rains that fell ON
Thursday were very partial--in some
neighborhoods heavy, while in others
very light, or none at all, but that
which came Saturday evening, was
general, and broke the drought
throughout this section. 1t was an
occasion of great rejoicing. The hay
crop was cut short as was also the
early crop of potatoes, and pasture
fields turned brown, but with the
change, let us hope, that we shall have
it seasonable weather for all the crops.
