A correspondent of the New York Eveni,,q
Post, writing from Pultney, New York, says
that the wheat crop in that region is but one
fifth Of the usual quantity, the grass crop and
corn less even than that; and buckwheat.
potatoes and all garden productions, past
all help. Fruit trees are dying, and peaches
and pears whiting on the trees. The swamps
and meadows are on fire III many localities,
and cannot be extinguished. The farmers
are perfectly amazed. Forehanded men are
selling cows which were worth forty dollars
per head last spring for twelve dollars and
half-and sheep in proportion. The failure
of the crops affects all other branches of busi-
ness. The prudent husbandmen are cutting
their corn one month earlier than usual L.

The Way TO Repeal the Nebi aslSn Bill.
John P. Hale, in his speech at Portland, on
Wednesday evening" told his hearers how the
Nebraska Bill could be repealed. This is the
way:
Suppose you send to the next Congress a
" clean ticket" from the State of Maine
suppose you send men who do not endorse
the Nebraska Bill, men who go there deter
mined to repeal it, what will they dos When
the first general appropriation bill comes up,
they will put in proviso, which will not &C.
cupy more than three or four lines, to this eff
feet " Provided that so much of the bill
organizing the territories of Kansas and Ne
braska, which annuls the Missouri Compro-
mise act Of 1920, be, and the same is hereby
repealed" Great applause.
But there is something more to be done
than putting it in, and that is to STICK IT
THROUGH. Very great applause. l very
well recollect particular friend of mine, who
was practising in certain court, and had the
misfortune frequently to have the court against
him. Arguing law point one day, the
Judge, becoming impatient, said to him

what will be the resulti Why, the Senate
will say, this is rather dry business, work

bills. All the employees of the government,
and both the army and navy will say, @ 1t is
poor business to stop the government, for a
mere simple abstraction, that does not amount
to anything at all" and the result will be
that the Senate will back out Very great
applause.
Well, then, about the Presidential Veto
Did you ever hear tell of a President who We
toed, or even threatened to veto a bill appro-
priatlng $25, 200 for the payment of his own
salary? Immense applause. 1t has never
occurred to the government of the United
States yet. No President ever did it, or
threatened to do it; and you see if you put
this proviso into the first general appropria-
ton BILL and stick it through, it is as easy to
restore the Missouri Compromise line, as it is
to pass any little bill changing the name of
schooner that wants a new register. APP

A SINGULAR AccIDENr.-The Buffalo De-
nsocracy say that singular occurrence result
ing in melancholy manner, took place, a
few days since, in the town of Hamburg, in
that county. An Irishrnan was engaged in
digging well, and, after getting down to the
depth Of some eighteen or twenty feet. found
signs of water very perceptible. at last he
struck his pick through a thin layer of slate,
and, with a noise like thunder, sufficiently
loud to be distinctly heard all over the neigh
borhood, a stream ofmingled gas and water
burst through the orifce, instantly killing the
unfortunate man, and filling the well to the
depth of ten or twelve feet of water. Gas
still escapes profusely, and the water is in con-
slant and violent motion, resembling a large
cauldron of boiling fluid.
