The Wheat Crop.

The Messenger, published at Hanna
bal. Missouri, learns from farmers that
the prospects for good wheat crop
throughout nothern Missouri are more
promising than they have been for some
years past. In Illinois the prospects for
an abundant wheat crop arc also good
We learn from the Alton Courier, the ed
itor of which paper has recently made a
trip across the central portion of Illinois,
that, "howeyer short the crops might have
been last year, it has not deferred the
farmers of the State from seizng every
portion of favorable time during the fall
for sowing their wheat, and the result
shows tia; there are at least twenty per
cent. moro acres now in wheat than in
any previous year. The winter has been
exceedingly favorable, and if VIC should
be blessed with our ordinary spring,
Illinois will have an amount of wealth in
that single crop which it woald be difficult
to estimate"

The Ocean and its Depth.

Professor OImstead, of New Haven, has
contributed to the last number Of the New
Euglander "a quarterly publication an
article entitled "a Philosophical Survey
of the Ocean," from which We extract the
following paragraph. The author con-
mends highly the labors OF Lieut.. Maury.
The waters Of the ocean coYcr nearly
e-fourths Cor more exactly, fvc-scv-
enths) Of the surface Of the globe and Of
the thirty eight millions of miles of dry
land in existence, twenty-eigbt belong to
the northern hemisphere. The mean
depth Of the ocean has been yariously sta
ted, but may for the present DC taken at
four miles the numerous soundings now
in progress will soon enable US to speak
with more definite on this point. Enough
has already been done to prove the depth
is exceedingly unequal that like the sur
face of the earth the bottom Of the ocean,
here rises in mountain peaks. and there
sinks in deep valleys. Until recently the
deepest sounding ever made vas that by
Captain Scorsby in the polar seas, which
was short of mile and half As late
of Captain Ross, in the south Atlantic,
and gave 81, 600 feet or little over FIVE
miles, without finding bottom. But more
recently, at point of the Atlantic farth-
er north, Lieut.. Walsh, of the U. Schoon-
er fancy, without reaching bottom, to
the depth of 81, 200 feet, or nearly 69
miles. Within a short time Capt Dinham
communicated to the Royal Society re-
port of having reached the bottom of the.
Atlantic, in passage from Rio Janeiro
to the Cape of Good Hope, at the aston
ishing depth of I ,70G fatbomS, or s4 miles;
a depth so profound, that the plummet
occupied in its decent from the reel near
" 0! hours. From these results it ap-
pears that the depth Of the ocean exceeds
the heights of the mountains, since the
lofticst SUBMITS of the Himmalaya are
little more than $4,000 feet, or 81 miles
Notwithstanding these in the immediate
vicinity of places where no bottom could
be found, were spots of no uncommon
depths. The facts indicate that the bed
Of the ocean is diversified like the surface
Of the earth. The Gulf of Mexico is thought
not to exceed on an average one mile
and the Greenland seas are of such mod
crate depth, that whales, when harpooned
often run to the bottom, as is indicated
by appearance when they rise again to
the surface. Whales are even supposed
to seek part of their food at the bottom
of the sea.

Shooting Affair at Dunkirk.

The Frcdonia Censor, of Tuesday. the

pursuit, and requested to be shown to
their room. Being directed to it, he burst
in, and presenting loaded double bart
relied pistol at the gay Lothario, attempt
ed to discharge it, bat it failed. The
scuffle being heard by others, assistance
arrived, and the weapon was taken from
him. He was taken before a Justice,
and examined in the afternoon, and in an
interim of the trial, while standing at the
doorway, be leyclled another pistol. which
be had procured subsequent to the first at
tempt, at the destroyer of his peace, and
discharged it. The ball missed the in
tended victim, but the injured husband,
supposing it had proved effectual, de-
clared that both were now ruined, and he
was satisfied. Subsequently he appeared
convulsed, and avowed that he had taken
poison, but whether this was actually the
case is not determined.
The Dunkirk Journal gives the name
of the husband as Wainwright and that
of his wifo's paramour a. Miller; and
states that ". married his wife in Clear
field County,in this State, about three years
ago, she being then only about fifteen
years old. He treated her very badly,
and Miller, who boarded with them, at
length induced her to 60 off with bim.--
The pair have resided at Orlean, New
York, since October last; but Wainwright
having tracked them out, they escaped to
DunLirk, After giving an account of the
aifray, the Journal adds:
Wainwright was Immediately arrest
ed and committed by Esq. Brown to May
vile Jail, to await his trial for assault
and battery with attempt to kill, and
Miller recognised to appear as witness,
and being unable to procure bail was COM
mitted to Jail likewise. We understand
both Miller and Wainwright are under
bonds in Pennsylvania, for some unlaw-
full acts committed there"
