During the past year the -four market has
been completely revolutionized, the product
of our own State having taken the place
which has been held by the imported arti-
Gle, and it having been demonstrated that
the great bulk of the business hereafter to
be done will be in the domestic article. AS
soon as it was discovered that California
could grow her own wheat, it became mere
ly question Of time when she would do it.
and the experience of the past year has
demonstrated that but a comparatively
hort period will elapse before the importa-
tion from abroad of this great staple will
cease forever. The State has gained as
much as could be desired in the demonstra-
tlon of the fact that she can raise within her
own borders not only as much, but as good
quality of wheat as any of her neighbors.-
The converting into equally as good -four
as that manufactured abroad, is only ques-
tion of care, capital and experince, all of
which, if not here now in abundance, can
be easily brought here.

OssIAS's BARDs.-There was great rush at
the City Hall, on Saturday evening, to hear this
talented troupe. Before seven O'Clock every seat
and standing place was occupied while the entries
were absolutely erammed with the eager crowd.
Hundreds, coming too late, were compelled to
return home, without being able to reach even
the doorway.
Colonel Clark, the gifted conductor, has sue
ceeded. We think. beyond a doubt, in convincing
our citizens that the Bards are, at the present
time. far superior to any other company Of vocal
lists in the country. We certainly never heard
their harmony equaled. Their fun IS equally
attractive.
The Colonel has thrown his illustrious prede-
cessor, the inimitable ossian, entirely into the
shade, by providing US with entertainments of
much higher order of merit. The vast audience
Of Saturday evening was wild with delight, and
the Bards may expect another crowd to- night, at

IHE MEADOWS OF AMERICA. Gov. Wright
Of Indiana, says that our grass crop is not
properly appreciated. No crop, he says, APP
proaches so near spontaneous yield, end
none yields SO large a profit. The hay crop
in the United States in 1850, he estimates at
$4,000 900 tons; that for 1856. he estimates
at 100000 tons; which is worth $780,
100000; while The whole cotton crop is val
ued at only $l28, 100000. OF this crop more
than half is produced by the four States-N.
York, (Which yields one fourth of tue whole)
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The grass cron
which is used for pasturage, is at least as val
liable; so that single herb is worth annually
more than three hundred millions of dollars
Few people will believe that the grass crop of
New Y ork state is worth more than its wheat,
and yet statistics show that such is the fact.

BRUTAL MURDER IN NoDAwAY Co., Mo.
We learn from the Western Reporter the
particulars of a brutal murder committed in
Nodaway county, on the 3lst of October last.
1t appears that gentleman by the name of
Rees Murray had difficulty pending between
himself, Henry Thornhill and George john
son, all living near Marysyille, Nodaway Co.,
aud on Wednesday evening, Oct. 3lst, the
two latter met the said Murray seated in a
wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen dispute
ensued, in the course Of which Murray called
one OF theother party liar. On this, both
IhorDhill and johnson discharged the con-
tents of their rifles into the body of Murray,
enteringn the right thigh and left side. They
then, assisted by a person by the naue Of
snemore. took the breech of their guns and
beat him in the most unmerciful manner
Not satisfied with their helIish con duct, they
then set the vehicle on fire in which Law,
almost liteless, the said Murray; and yet not
being satisfied, they set the prairie around on
fire, perhaps to disguise from the scrutiny of
the pubic eye, the outrage committed on
Murray. But the oxen, having taken fright
during the nffray, started off and ian to the
house OF a neig Dor. This created alarm. and
search was instituted, when the halt dead
Murray was discovered. His clothing was on
fire, and he was suffering from the wounds on
his person. He died the next day, but before
hin death swore that Ihornhil. johnson, aud
Sizeinore were his murderefs. Thornhill and
Johnson were arrested and lodged in Jail, but
Sizcmore has not bten heard of since.
