We are sorry to observe, that while the crop
of small grains is uncommonly good among us,
the crops of Indian corn and Potatoes have suf-
fered severely with the drouth. And in the
counties South and west of us the loss will be
even greater than with us. Much of the late
planted corn is nearly spoiled, and in some parts
of Putnam and Allen Counties, potatoes will
yiel little more than the seed planted.
THE STEAMBOAT ERIE has resumed her
place in the line between this and Detroit.
The Erie is a perfect gem of craft, light,
beautiful, swift, still and safe. 1t takes

VINO KILLED HANCOCK RoBN?--The Po-
itical Ticker has tickled itself to death; or in
other words, it has bursted. Mr.. Seneca A.
Gordon has declared himself miserable tool
hired to father the abortion for the sum of six
teen dollars, while the real daddes Of the con-
Germ were Jacob Rosenberg, Edison Colt, and
