Many of the farmers in this section have commenced harvesting their grain, and, had the weather proved favorable a large amount of wheat would have been cut this week, but the heavy rains on Wednesday night will check operations for a few days, and probably do considerable damage to the wheat already cut. With favora ble weather in the future the prospect for a good crop is very promLing. JTfFWoRK on the Cincinnati, Richmond & Fort Wayne Railroad is being pushed forward with vigor. Sufficient iron has been sccur cd to lay the track to Winchester, and it is the intention to commence laying the iron on that section in about ten days. So says the Jay Republican.

The skull had, apparently been broken before he was thus hastily shoved into the ground.— JKinchCßf.er Journal.
