The Crops.-Gentlemen who have just
returned from tours through the Western
part of this State. and in various directions
through Michigan, say the crops are very
fine every where. In the great wheat dis
trlct OF this State, the wheat is unusually
heavy and the ground TO lie reaped larger
than ever before. Indian corn is strong
and healthy, and promise well. Some pla-
ces have suffered from drought. AtTroy,
from this cause, hay is dollar hundred
There was fine shower there, however,
few days ago; and, in general, there is no
want OF either cold water or caloric TO st-
mulate vegetation. Another friend who
has just returned from a very long Journey
through Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
Michigan and New York, say that with
some small exceptions the crops are every
where very good. In Michigan the price
of wheat is 81 to so cents a bushel. accord

The expansions and collapses of the last
ten years, have taught this generation
some lessons which they will hardly for
get. At one time, they who sustained pr-
ces by speculative forcing system, were
called benelactors. Millions were suppos-
ed to be saved TO the nation in the prices
of cotton and flour, by sustaining prices
at their "n atural' point. The effort to
keep up flour was certainly most wonder
successful. Every thing was OH a grand
scale IN those days; and it did seem that
natures laws might be set at defiance, and
herself subdued by her own children. The
millers were eager buyers of wheat, at
extremely high prices, and because they
were so eager, and bid so high, the far
mers would not sell Crops were thus
kept back and a fictitious scarcity Great !
in the midst of real plenty. But the unc. \
terable laws of trade have reassumed Their
supremacy. The overloaded system has
broken down-we now have real surplus,
and prices are too low, probably in Their

this reaction, mischief has been done which

Gross Omrage.-It will be recollected
that the people called Mormons were some
years ago driven out of the State of Mis-
souri,, by most unwarranted persecution.
Subsequently they have taken up their
abode in place they call Nauvoo, Han
cock Co., Illinois. 1t appears that num-
Der of evil disposed persons of Missouri,
have been for some time past, lurking in
the vicinity of Nauvoo, for the purpose of
wreaking their vengeance upon the Nor
mons, for supposed injuries received from
that people on former occasion. 1t seems
that four of the Mormons who happened
on the Missouri side of. the river. on busi-
ness, were seized upon by the aforemen-
toned Missouri ruf1ians and treated with
brutal barbarity almost incredible.
Gov. Carlin, Of Illinois. has with COM
mendable spirit, taken the matter in hand
and avowed his determination to inyesti-
gate the whole affair, and to protect the
Mormons from further outrage TO the ex-
tent of his power

Adjournment Of the Legiszatare.-The
Territorial Legislature which convened at
Madison, for the purpose of making new
representative apportionment under the
late census, and other incidental business,
adjourned on Friday the 18th inst, after-a
session Of twelve days. The journal of
their proceedings, contains but little of spe-
cial interest to the general reader. Besides
the act of representative apportionment, a
few bills, principally of local character
were passed. Resolutions explanatory of
resolutions, adopted at the last session Of
the Legislature, with respect TO the pro-
posed boundary convention, were passed:
they restrict any action by the contempla-
ted convention, to the formation of con-
stitution and,a State government; declaring
all such action altogether inexpcdient, un-
til the ordinance of 1887 shall be fully re-
cognized by the respective parties. -

Deldyan, Walworth CON- an interview
recently had with gentleman from Della
van, we are favored with the following
facts in relation to that interestinga and fou-
rishing town,which we give to our readers.
Delavan takes its name from Edward c..
Delavan, gentleman whose efficient SER
vices in the cause of temperance, are fa-
vorably known, both in the United States
and in Europe. The village is situated near
the outlet of DeIayan lake, on the terrific
rial road leading from Milwaukee to BeIoit.
The country in the vicinity of Delavan is
composed Of small praries, skirted with
timber lands and openings, possessing a
soil extremely fertile and well adapted to
the growing of wheat. The first settle
ments were made about three years ago:
for special reasons the growth of the viii
lage has hitherto been withheld by the pro-
prietors until the present season. A num-
Der Of buildings are now in course Of erec-
ton. and by judicious regulation, all
buildings are required to be of respectable
dimensions, and due regard had to taste
and appearance. No persons are encou-
ragged to settle in the place, except those of
industrious and temperate habits; conse-
quently the society possesses more than an
ordinary share of enterprise and inlelli-
gence. One peculiar fact in the history of
the town is, that not single glass of in
toxcating liquors haE pc been sold in it since
its settlement, and the proprietors have de-
termined SO far as lies in their power, to
forever exclude the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating drinks from the place.
Among the prominent advantages which
Delavan possesses is its hydraulic power.
A fall Of water from 60 to 10 feet is con-
centrated at this place, and by means of a
reservoir which has been formed by raising
the water of Delavan lake four feet above
the natural surface, water power is OBJ
tanned which is adequate at all seasons of
the year for extensive manufacturing 2ur-
poses. A Touring mill,which ranks among
the irst in the territory, 60 feet long and
three stories high, is in successful opera
ton. There is perhaps no village in the
territory, where the proprietcrs of lots are
so liberal to settlers as in Delavan; every
reasonable indictment is offered to those
who desire TO become permanent inhsbi-
tants of the place.

Progress Of the Temperance Cause. -
The Rev. Mr.. Maginnio of this borough,
the first Catholic clergyman in this coun-
try who engaged in this glorious cause,
has assured US that the society connected
with his church now numbers upwards of
24O0 members, larger number perhaps,
than is connected with any other church in
the country.

The subject of the temporary removal
of the seat of government, was agitated
during the late session of the legislature.
The effort was to get it from Madison, I'M
til the public buildings there are finished,
or until it is permanently fixed at some
other point. Every place in the territory,
almost, put in its claims for selection, and
the probability is, if there hadlnot been so
many conflicting points removal would
have been effected. We should not be sur
prised, if before great while, it should be
done, as the dissatisfaction Of the members
increases year after year, upon finding the
public buildings remaining and likely to
remain in an unfinished state.
