M1.soUu-The St. Louis Republican,
speaking Of the growing wheat crop in The
West generally says that Gas far as can be
Judged from the statement Of our exchanges,

yorable, and'the young blades now look vi
gorous under the fostering influences Of
spring rains and sunshine"

acre. Last year his average crop of whea'
was 81 bushels to the acre. This year ht
expects to make 25."
Mtcu1aAN.-Mr. Belts, one of the editor,
Of the Michigan Farmer, informs the repor
tr Of the Detroit Inquirer, in relation TO The
wheat crop in Southern Michigan, that th'
present indications are favorable-quite SO
The lreezings and ~thawings that tina
plant endured after the snow left the groun1
+ pretty much destroyed the leaf, and created
some alarm; but the few warm days of late
! have revived the crop so much that there
+ can DO little grounds for fearing a failure i
40 future casualties occur. The backward
-. ness Of the season may be reckoned a favo
! rable circumstance rather than dangerous t.
the vitality OF the wheat crop.
INDIANA We learn from individuals VIII,
!. have travelled about Tippecanoe county, In
diana, that wheat fields present a promising

dition, and now an abundant ha. vest is por
: trayed on every field.

a improved within a few days, and the edlto
thinks the crop will be as good as usual i
that part of Indiana.
CoNrEMPrIBLE.-The Know Nothings, wei
aware that no genuine democrat would for
moment permit his name to be associ tie
with the movements Of their order, have i
several instances nominated editors of Dem
& ~ocratic papers for Office, and in this name
attempted to throw suspicion upon their in
tegrity of character. This was done wit
S the editors of the Cadiz Sentinel and tn
! Guernsey Jeffersonian at the late election
How degraded must be those politicians an
o their party who will resort to such dishonol
e able measures to accomplish their purpose,
