THE CORN CRop.-Tbe Alton Telegraph
confirms the accounts Of the almost total
failure of the corn crop throughout Middle
and Central Illinois. We fear that the Allan
tic corn-growing region will suffer quite as
severely. From present appearances, many
of our very best coIngrowing districts will
not produce sufficient for immediate neigh
borhood consumption.
The Chester (Ill.) Herald gives the follow.
ing picture of the state Of things there, which
would apply to some sections ofcouutry near
home -
last Saturday We went UP to Sparta and
Flat Prairie, and had an opportunity of seeing
the corn in that quarter. Nothing could be
more pitable than the aspect the fields pre-
scnted.-Ficld after field and farm after farm
showed the ruins of crops upon which the far
mcr had expended no small amount of labor;
scorchcd and shrivellcd stalks and tasscls
dried up prematurcly and before they had left
the promise of a harvest field. told the dismal
story: and although VIC travelled some twenty
miles and returned the same distance by q
different route, and through the most fertile
and best cultivated lend in Southern Illinois,
We saw no room 10 hope for crop, OF even
part of one"

TIE GREYTowN AFFAIR. The New York
Courier and Enquirer commences an editorial
on the Grcytown affair with the following -
The Union has spoken and the Admins
tration back out. But, no; even backing out
is too straight forward a movement for the
Administration or its organ. They slip, and
squirn and wriggle; they shift the burden of
responsibility from the Executive shoulders 10
those of Commander Ifollns: ami then they
pat him on the back, and tell him and the
world what strc.,g back it is, and what a
wise head is atop it, and are indignant
that any one could suppose for a moment that
their hero could do any thing that was not
perfectly right he should do. And yet again
they say that the Administration must not be
held responsible for every thing that this ter
rihlc fellow did; because it is not quite certain
that he did exactly as he was bd-and who
ever wants to know what he was bid to do
must look at his Instructions, and then per-
hapS they will find out, and perhaps they
won't"

EARTHLY Tunes FROM A BALLooS.--T hing>
upon the surface Of the Garth look very
strange from the car OF the balloon al great
elevation. An eronaut named Brooks, who
assembled last week from Worcester, Mass, tc
a height Of ono and half miles, describes tho
scene thus. The railway cars looked like
baby wagons and the whistle of the locomo,
tive sounded quite mclodions, dying away
gently in sound long drawn out. At ono
time he saw before him what he took to be q
large pond, having at the side a school house,
with chillr,n at Ivy, but on nearer ap-
proach it proved to be a race course filled with
Icctators.

was tried i'll this city before Justice Day, on
Saturday last, between Mr.. OConncr, an
aged member of the Catholic Church, plain
tiff, and the Catholic Priest, Mr.. O'Flahcrty,
defendant. 1t would seem that Mr.. O'Conncr
unable to stand under the oppressive agrees
sions ola despotic bigot, made his appeal to
the civil law for protection and redress. 1t
appeared by the testimony that Father o.
Flahcrty not only assumed to excoumunicate
Mr.. O'Conncr and family from the church,
but directed his man to tear down and re-
move the old gcntlcman's pew. Hence the
suit. Af,cr a patient hca ring, All intelligent
jury gave the plaintiff a verdict Of Ss715 against
the defendant. The case was ably managed

on THE DEATH OF AN INFANT.
A little form from Heaven descended,
And graced awhile this earthly bower;
With fondcst love, and care, attended
Fond parents watched this cherished Howe
Her little harp had often rung
In sweetest notes, the choral song;
That tiny harp, now silent hung,
For l. ida, to the earth had gone.
She fingered here few mont hs space,
But spirit voices from above,
Were whispering her to come and grace
Again, their happy home of love.
Back to her spirit-homc she's flown,
Again she strikes her golden Tyre,
Again she stands before the throne
And joins again, the heavenly choir.
Fond parents cease to moan,
Her mission here was DER,
God but recalled his own
At his own chosen hour.
