Transportation -- Water - Wrecks

Since the late storm two wrecks have been reported to us along our coast -- the one a brig, which went ashore on the first day of January, on Dorson Shoals, near Life Saving station No. 8, loaded with railroad iron -- the other a three massed vessel near Chincoteague Island, loaded with lumber. In neither case were any lives lost.

Fields -- Crops - Other grains

The oat crop in Accomac this year is a failure, and has been in fact for many years, though formerly one of the staple products of our county. We presume our soil is as well adapted to the growth of the crop as in former years, and if so, it would seem the part of wisdom to give it sufficient attention to make it profitable or abandon it altogether.
