ABUNDANT CRoPs IN EURoPE.-The
Intelligence from all parts of Europe
relative to the fine and abundant crops
is causing the prices of breadstuffs to
fall very fast in the markets of that
country.
In Great Britain the corn crops were
never better or the growth greater
France has wheat crops the present sea-
son superior in quality and larger in
quantity than in former years. On the
Continent the crops are extensive, and
the markets are not only dull, but fast
declining. A circular from Rostook
calculates on large yield, at least one
fourth above the usual average of the
wheat crop, and more than full aver
age of other corn. There are the same
prospects in the Baltic districts, and ac-
counts are extremely favorable from
Norway, Sweden and Denmark. In
Prussia there are excellent prospects OF
a great yield, and at Smyrna the grain
is unusually plentiful. In Egypt the
prices have greatly fallen, and at Alex
andria the corn is most abundant. In
the Principalities the corn is being cut
by the Russians, but in Bulgaria the
harvest has been most abundant on the
whole. Potatoes promise to be abund-
ant. In spite of war there seems to be
an abundance of the elements which
give impulse to industry and make
manufactures flourish.
A Coon OEE.-Gov. German, is er-
o6feio Indian Agent for the Minnesota
Indians. At a recent Council with the
Chippewas, the Governor threatened
the Indians with the loss of their annui-
tyif found drunk, and any Indians por,
ton thus forfeited, was to be divided
equally among the sober. Hole-in-the.
dark, distinguished Orator, remarked
in reply, that it was Just, but that the
same rule ought to be applied to the
Agent. aOho aOds a great man, and had a
great annuity. 1t ought to be taken
from him and divided, like the others
for he got drank very often. The Gov
ernor must have felt rather streaked
about that time.

frequently been recommended as preventative
Of the rot, and many experiments have been re :
