Tiic following tabic of the legal weights of agricultural products has been complied from the Code with amendments since made. It conflicts in several particulars with the weights as given for this State in the May report of the l\ S. Department of Agriculture. This tabic is the correct one: All of the weights are probably too liinh for the bushel measure of o the average productions but this is especially tlio ease with the average wheat crop which won't weigh 00 lbs. per bushel, nor will oats weigh 02 lbs., nor buckwheat f>0 lbs, Peanuts vary in weight according to the variety. Wheat, 00 lbs; rough rice. 44 lbs; , rye, ;~>0 lbs; corn, f?0 lbs, buckwheat, f f>0 lbs: 1 nyi '10 lbdj OUO, O? llax seed, ?>"> lbs; clover seed, 00 lbs; j peas, 00 lbs; corn meal, 4^ lbs; bolted meal, 40 lbs; peanuts, 22 ibsj cotton seed, 30 lbs. The following productions have nc legal weights given in North Carolina o o n but the weights attached arc those generally r ec?nn ,/c^ * 1 tried apples, 2f "?s; white beans 1" 00 lbs; wheat bran, 20 lb*; cut corn TO lbs; onions, .V2 lbs; irish potatoes ' '> ) lbs; turnips. lbs; blue grus seed, 14 lbs; timothy seed, 4o lbs.

Miss Hodman, who is a) ^ young lady of uniinpcaccable 0f character, informed her father of the wt indignity that had been put upon her m and he, yesterday, at the depot in ^ Lancaster, met the evangelist and ^ and demanded an apology. Mr. %0 Lcitch refused to apologize, where- >h upon the irate father broke a walk- w ing cane over his head. 1 The insult to Miss Hodman con . UJ sistcd in abusive epithets hurled at ]., her by the preacher because of some si fancilicd misbehavior on her part. ? She was called "a half-witted girl ol from town;" "a fool;" was told "that j all the raising she ever had was when sj her mother raised her from the ground m by her hair," etc. (* The above facts were given to us by Maj.
