We in town feel the hard times in the high
prices of provisions, and the scarcity Of
money, but the farmers endure still more Sc
rious trials in the loss of their cattle and the
sutferings Of their teams for the lack of
provender, and their consequent inability to
put in and cultivate crops on as extensive q
scale as they might in seasons OF album
dance.
We extract from private letter from a
friend in johnson county, q few items, indi-
eating very general condition Of affairs in
the interior OF the State
$40 say that times are hard, | suppose
would apply to keokuk, as well as to this
section. There is much distress here and
through the country for want Of the neces-
saries Of life. As is always the case, the
poor suffer most. Almost daily the poor
call on us for something to keep them from
starvation, and generally tender labor for
something TO eat. Those Of us who have
farms suffer immensely in the destruction Of
stock, for The want of food, and nearly all
our farmers will have TO depend upon pastur
age for their horses in cultiyating their
farms. There never has been such destltu-
ton in this community since | came TO Iowa
as now. The protracted winter and the in
creased immigration have consumed all the
grain IN the country except wheat, and that
within few days past has risen in price very
considerably. Corn is Iow brought up from
Illinois By the car load, and brings from Csc
to 5 per bushei. Potatoes have got up to
81 90; butter has been SO cents per pound
and everything else in proportion. As for
myself, lose COW, then calf 30 that
when winter commenced, from 40 cattle,
they have been reduced down TO %. The
grass ~ 20 now, that think they viii get
along. have rented out part of my farm,
and that which my own horses tend Will not
exceed 90 acres Of corn, besides the small
grain already sown, amounting to about *
acres. think SIX horses vi be able 10 cul
tivate the 60 acres OF corn without much
trouble, although may not-haye grain Il

THE JEsrfTs AMI THs CRINEsE ARTILtERr.-
The Moniteur de iArmce Gays:
"A very curious discovery was made by the
English during the late attack upon Canton, and
one which will serve to illustrate the history o.
the use Of artillery. The landing party which
was sent ashore after the English vessels, had
opened their fire. found in one OF the forts upon
the river from whic6 the garrison bad been ex.
PEELED, battery of six bronze pieces of artillery,
of the calibre of 10 lbs. the peculiar shape Of
which attracted the attention OF the officer In
comnsnd Of the detachment. These cannon were
stamped near the touch hole, with the imperial
cipher. surrounded with Chinese characters en-.
closed within series of arabasques, very grace
fully designed. In the middle of these ornament l.
was 3 cross In relief, and below the cross the
date OF 1867 in Roman letters. One of the cannon
was put on board the admirals flag ship. to be
sent to England; the others were spiked. Inves'i'
cations, which were afterwards made show the
origin of them. The cipher which they bear, Is
that Of the Emperor Hong Hi, one OF the most
emiaent Of the Chinese soversigns. who was born
la 1853. aud died 10 1923. This monarch who was
the author of several treasises upon the arts and
sciences, admitted the Jesui.s to his court, and
employed them In different branches of bis adni
nistration. One of them, the Pere Bouin. was
charged with the superintendent of the cannon
foundry at Maxim, and tits is probably = speci'
men of his kmauship"

Of tie suit, one thing is certain, as the Boston
