-The account of the death of George DeGood, by lightning, on Friday last, is given in our Leesbtirg items in another column. There will be much larger crop of good wheat in this county this year than last. New wheat will open at from 90 cts. to $1.00 per bushel, and probably no sale for the old crop. The Mayor or the Council should see that the weeds and grass that is growing so luxurantly along some of the by streets is cut down.

It looks bad, and besides will so go to seed. Asburyjohnson and Joseph Reese were sontencedto the penitentiary last Friday at Urbana for three and two years respective- ly. While a freight train was standing on tho main track of the Bea Line, at Degraff, on Tuesday of last week, the local freight from the East came at a high rate of speed, for the purpose of making a running switch, and ran into the engine. Both engines were badly damaged, but, fortunately, no one was hurt. Tho extreme hot weather of tho past week has been general over the entire country, the thermometer ranging from 94 to 101, in the shade.

In the cities and in a number of other places, the loss of life from tho oppressive heat was very great. Thornhill and Capt. Hamilton have found a colored gentlemen yes we bolieve that's who it is who has more religion than he knows what to do with. The account ofJie attack of the Indians on Gen. Custer's army, and Custer's death, is on the third page of to-days paper A daughter of Robert McMillcn, sonie sixteen years of ago, living three and alialf miles South-West of town, was struck by lightning on Friday last while standing in the yard.

She was rendered senseless by tho shock, but afterwards recovered, the shock not being quite severe enough to prove fatal. A brillant meteor passed over this place, Saturday night, about 9 o'clock its course was from the North-East to South-West, leaving a wide, white path after it thatlast-ed thirty minutes or more. It looked like a large ball of fi re two or three feet in diameter, finally turning to a purple hue and then vanishing. Mr. N.

A fellow was in town one day last week who said he ought to be sent to that "Cen-tinential show," because he had the heart in him of any man on the continent," but instead, ho came very near being $ent' to the calaboose. Cadet Henry Heistand, of West Point, arrived at his homo, in this place, on Friday last, on a short leave of absence, to visit friends and relatives, looking quite well, as though the "soldier lifo" agreed with him perfectly. We intimated a week or so ago that. Mr. James Sterling, as Attorney, had made a motion in the last term of Court, to set aside tho sale of some property ad vertis-cd ki this paper by the Sheriff on the plea that the paper was not of general circulation in the county.

Wo can now announce that the sale was confirmed at the adjourned session, on Monday, by Judge Cole, Mr. Sterling not being able to show tho least particle of proof why our paper was not of "general circulation" in the county. The poor little fellow must feel sad. A classical error. The late lamented Lampricro tells us that lo was changed into a heifer; but we have lately gleaned from a doctor's prescription the following piece of information respecting the end of that young persoi: "Io-dide of potassium." Mr.

R. Mosesi who recently removed from this place to Neapolis, Lucus was in town on Tuesday. Ho reports a great deal of rain in his section of country. The trial before the Mayor on Tuesday night, wherein D. F.

Parsons sued Dr. R. Connell for tho possession of the room used by Connell as an office, resulted in a disagreement of the. Jury. Another trial is set for Monday next.

S. McAfee, who has for throe years past been employed at the carriage shops of I. W. McCracken, left Richwood, on Friday last, for his home in Mercorsburg, Penn. Mack's genial good nature won for him many frionds here, and ho leaves with the good wishes all.

"We go to press at two instead ot four to-day," said a Tennessee paper, "in order to attend to some important business in the country." At precisely five minutes before two high-toned looking men with shot-guns called, and wanted to know where tho editor was.

The trials of these early merchants were many, and the merchant of to-day who thinks he has a difficult job to keep everything in order, these hard times, must not forget the day of coon skins, venison hams, maple sugar and tnuskrat skins. Persons bought goods theu and failed to pay. The crop of deer skins failed theu as the crop of com fails now.

uniw, mis gicak national day. To them, who so early planted the school and the church; those foundations upon which our nation's real greatness rests, we owe a debt of gratitude which we can never repay. Let us not forget them while they live, and when gone, may we ever cherish their memories as a sacred inheritance bequeathed to us and our The Centennial year gives promise "of unusual bountiful harvest. The wheat fields are luxuriant in their wealth of golden grain. Clover'and Timothy, owing to tho wet weather in May, are especially heavy and the pastures and meadows of the rural districts present a peculiarly verdant appearance for this season.

All the smal fruits, like cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and gooseberries, are so large a crop a. t. lbt they are, in some sections, a drug. Oats and corn are, perhaps, a little backward. but when we remember that the season it- sell is late, and notice the rapid strides these crops are now making, there is every re son for encouragement.

In fact the agricultural communities have every reason to join in the general rejoicing. To be sure, farm products are not bringing-as large prices as they have in previous years, but the larger supply will compensate to a good degree forthisj and when we bear in mind that almost all the necessaries of life are greatly reduced in price and are every day becoming more so, it must be expected that farm products will go with them. What We Want. Tho success of a town and its business interest depend largely on the leading spiritsfor its development. If those who are controlling the best trades and business of a town are selfish and narrow contracted, we may look out for a stagnation of enterprise; and hence a want of development of its resources.

Yes we will go so far as to say that even those selfish beings reap a blighted harvest, by failing to consider the interest of citizens in connection with their own. We want men with enough religion to maks them honest, and sufficient zeal and enorgy to move the wheelsof the community. We want union; and above everything elso let us have union; shame on contention, envy, jealously, tbat is blighting our prosperity, and turning the members of one church from another, nurturing hatred in the breasts of those who are designed by nature and sense, to act a nobler part in society. We want charity and fellowship extended to strangers who come in our midst to operate in the affairs of life. Ah! distrust has forced individuals away from many localities who would have become useful citizens, but for the failure of the people to recognize them as such.

Finally, give business and employment to those who are among ns make it a mutual mutter to help each other along and do away with little'differences; use the better part of your nature in society, and leave the fiendish part rust. Almost every advertiser has his theory about the proper time for advertising. Some say there is no use trying to forco trade when it is dull; others say trade is good enough at certain seasons, and they only want more trade in such and such months. Hence, they advertise at that time only. Such advertisers are frequently disappointed at the time it requires to receive answers to their advertisements.

Soma regard must be paid to season without doubt, and advertisements should be so worded as to be seasonable; but people read the newspapers about as much at one time as another, and if at certain periods an advertisement is not likely to be quite as productive, that fact keeps competing advertisements out of the newspaper columns, and consequently gives tho whole field to the man. who does advertise at the time. Outside of a few articles which have their special seasons, it is admitted by the best advertisers that the best time to advertise is all the time.

Constable Evans had. quite a little adventure the other day which, had we the time to narrate in proper manner, would make quite a thrilling article. He went out with an attachment against some property belonging to Henry Welch, in favor of F. M. One of the articles attached was a horse, which, before Evans had time to serve process of attachment, Welch mounted and sped away upon for the Dele-ware county line.

Evans pursuing rapidly. On they went, pursued and pursuer, over ravine and fence, until the pursued party brought up against a fence just at the county line, when process was served and the horse taken posession of. And thus it ended as far as this part of the occurrence is concerned. Ed. Finefrock came very near starting a conflagration one day last week.

He had a small can of alcohol sitting on the floor at his dwelling and a lighted match in his hand when the alcohol ignited. The first thing that occurred to Ed. was to get it out of the house, he consequently threw it very quickly from the window. It went through a pane of glass in tho Union County Bank and scattered tho burning liquid aboutgen-erally, muoh to the surprise of the Cashier, A. Blake, who, notwithstanding his fright at so sudden an illumination, went promptly to work and succeeded in extinguishing it.

Mr. Blake had just stepped back from the desk when the can fell, and it is quite probable, had ho remained, that ho would have been seriously, if not fatally, burned, as the liquid would have been turned over him by tho can striking his head or shoulders.

Conqrkssmen this year will not be elected in Ohio at the October election, but on the samo day the President is chosen.

This is in accordance with an act of Congress fixing the election of members throughout the Union on tho Tuesday noxt after the first Monday in November. The election in Ohio, on the second Tuesday of October, therefore, will bo only for State and county officers. The Centennial anniversary of American Independence was duly celebrated in nearly every city and town in the Union. The daily papers teemed with dispatches from all points, giving grand descriptions of the manner in which the day was observed. With blaze and boom the Fourth swept over the land, and is gone.

It was tho most illustrious day we can ever expect to seo, and our people have shown how they honored it in all the welcomes which patriotism could suggest. Long may itshrne the brightest day in the calendar of freedom. The Kansas City Journal of Commerce gives this eneouragingoutlook for the wheat crop: The harvest in Southern Kansas is well advanced, and the wheat may bo said to be safe in all respects. The amount of wheat produced, this year is wonderful, some counties producing more than a mil- ion bushels. In tho Walnut, tho erdigns, the Neosho, Cottonwood, Arkansas, and other valleys, the yield is simply enormous.

The Arkansas valley alone will have five million bushels for export. Taking this as a basis for calculation, we would place the surplus crop of wheat in Kansas this year at from fifteen to eighteen millions of bushels. Indeed, we might place it higher than this and not be beyond the possible result. There is alarm all around at the very definite prospect, this. year, of a of suh rains as fell djuring July and August of 1875, This year, as last, the rains set in in the latter part of June, earlier though; and up to the present time we have had more and heavier showers than in tho cor-, responding time in 1875.

There wore between forty and fifty positively rainy days, last year. The prospect of forty or fifty like days, this year, is very disheartening to people generally, farmers in particular. Thus far we have escaped heavy damage in this vicinity, although, the rains have been very heavy and very frequont, and the electrical currents unploasantly and even dangerously demonstrative. But," should these large fulls of water contino and multiply upon us, tho damage to crops will be immense.
