ed in single county. The Loco candidate
was the brother Of the Governor of the State,
very popular, and obtained large Wing vote.
He gained fifty votes in ST. Mary's on local
question. N. Declouet, Esq. an active aud in
fuential Wing, went against his nephew's e.
lection, because his pecuniary interests would
suffer by his absence. But all would not an
swer.
The Wings say Attakapes will give $50 and
probably 500 majority for Clay, as Mouton,
aided by the powerful exertons and patronage
Of his brother, the Governor, polled at least

Wheat crops raised in the County the present year
The lowest yield there named, go bushels per ace)

We understand that the wheat crop throughout the
State this year is much better than usual, and some
papers have stated that Vermont has raised enough
for her own consumption. Bot this is great mis-
take.
In 1889, Vermont raised 495,sO0 bushels. In
ls43 the estimated crop wss 620,695 bushels. II
the crop of the present year exceeds that of last
year SO per cent, (Which is not probabe) it would
be only 93I 0i3 bushels, or about bushels TO each
inhabitant. The annual consumption must greatly
exceed this amount. Yet the annual increase oil
this crop, so much beyond the increase OF popula-
ton, is highly encouraging, and we trust the time
is near at hand, when Vermont will no longer be
dependant upon the far west for bread
