THr CRurs.-JudRe Buel has recently made an ex- cursiOn to the west, and in the last number o the ssCSrT;n n ne e saIe % @ orce s ts pO6ae age of the wheat crop. As the result 0 hese nqul-
 es he gives his conviction, that west of Cayuga Lake it does not exceed half fair average crop that m third and that in Oneida 1t will not be quarter of the quantity required for the population Ot the county These counties, it is remarked, embrace the great wheat district ofour State The causes of ailure are attributed to snowy winter, which snothered much of the gram, wet spring, and the grain worm.
 From review of the information from all the states bordering on the Atlantic, Continues Mr. BueD 1t very evident that the crops of Bread corn commonly deficient; that prices must consequently be high, and but for the prospect of our receiving hea wy importations of grain from Europe the prospect of scarcity would be alarming. With these prospects before us, becomes matter of duty, well of in- terest to well our means, and to endeavor by prudence and economy, to avert the evil which threa tens at least the ndgent classes of our population the coming winter"
 . Price of Bread Stufs.-The price of wheat in Paes ls IF cents bushel, and the price of flour s barrel h London flour is $8 a barrel. In the ports of the Mediterranean and of the Baltic bread stufs much cheaper than Tn either London or Paris. The price of good wheat at Naples is S. lOd sterling bushel, or o4 cents From any one of these places freight might be obtained at B cents per barrel on our and l2 l2 cents per bushe wheat about half the rate char ged on transportation of the same articles from Roch ester and one-fourth of what IS charged from Omo- Fifty thousand bushels of have lately been recei we'd here from Ohio by one house, at freight of 49 on wheat g cents a bushel. Wheat, therefore, can be imported from Naples and laid down in N. York at l25 to ls5 cts. bushel all charges paid, and from a hundred other places at the same a less prce.- Corn and rye are not burdened with duty, and may be imported to great advantage. The countries of Europe and Asia afford stores of bread stufs almost they should run to the highest possible quantity could only affect prices in very slight degree. Free trade will supply all our wants, and the cost, with liberal mercantile profit will not carry prices above 150 cents for wheat foo for rye and Indian corn 50 cents for oats per bushe and $7 50 for flour per barrel So let the desponding cheer up for no who is indus trious and frugal need starve in 1886 or l837

Chicdgo.--In the list of towns that have
sprung up with incredible rapidity. Chicago
de ,rves IA conspicuous place, probably the
front rank, 1t is now little more than
three years old (; numbers 5000 inhabitants !;
is scene of hustle, industry and enterprise,
which few years since would have been
deemed the work of fifteen or twenty years
to produce. It's commanding location has
drawn, and iscontnualy drawing towards
it, the enterprise and capital of this and the
Eastern States. Its harbor is near to COM
pletion; steamboats, and scooners are con-
tinually pouring into its streets throngs of
emigrants, who are TO settle upon the fertile
lands of the interior, and in adding TO the
aggregate wealth of the State, contribute TO
the business and prosperity of the promi-
nent commercial depot; each of its several
hotels is gathering place of hundreds on
errands of business, or speculation build
ing is only limited by the want of an ade-
quate supp ly of materials-all that can be
obtained is appropriated; labor is high and
commands cash merchants and mechanics
are thriving; lawyers and doctors, if they
do not flourish in their professions, make il
up by speculation. All is brisk aud prom
ising.- Niagara Democrat.

Those who have hitherto questioned the
guilt of Richard =. Robinson, must have
their doubts for ever silenced on reading the
following account of what took place at the
New y FORK Sessions yesterday. 1t betrays
fiendishaes Of mind and purpose Of which
we are confident that the world has never
produced II parallel in SO young a man, and
with snch respectable connexions. The
most diabolcal creations of the novelist's
imagination, never produced character so
utterly depraved and alrocious.
William ID. Gray was arraigned on three
several indictments, two for petty and one
for grand larceny, to which he pleaded not
guilty. This is the individual whose cloak
Richard =. Robinson had on the night of
the murder, and whose cloak was found in
the yard in the rear Of Thomas street.
While Robinson was in prison at Bellevue,
Gray was also there, and they contrved
during that time to keep up correspon-
dence by letter, with each other After
Gray's arrest, letter written by Robinson
to him, whilst both of them were in prison,
was found upon him. in which Robinson
states that he himself would be tried on
such day, acquitted on such a day, and
that he Gray, wanted to get clear of his wife
and to get married again, that he would be
able when he got out, to get divorce from
his wife, as he, Robinson, after his acquit-
tai, would go and seduce her, and be an
evidence for him to prove the criminal con-
versation adding, that it was not the first
time he had obliged friend in that way.
This letter was written only few days be-
fore Robinson was to be tried for his life.

of mounted men from our city, surprised a
small party of Indians, mot more than four

miles south of Picolata, yesterday evening.
The Indians, however, perceived our men
and succeeded in getting into Coston
Branch our men dsmounted and pursued
them, bur they were too much accustomed
10 travel in branches of this nature, to be
overtaken; the company surprised them so
much, that they left some rum, about three
bushels of potatoes, three quarters of hog
they had killed, and left the cattle-tbe
company succeeded in bringing into the
city about one hundred head. This is no
bad pull for us, penned up as we are in this
ancient city.
