WHxAr.-As neiiced in our marke, re-
port, but little wheat has come in during
the pas, week. This 10 owing in part to
the destruction Of several bridges across
Duck and Black Hawk creeks, and TO a de.
cline OF five cents In the price, wheat now
being quoted a, rs cents. Week before
last, when so cents were being paid, and
the weather was good for hauling, more
wheat was received than during any o,her
week Of the season. II requires over 8 600
bushels Of wheat per day, or about 5000
bushels per week, TO keep our mills going.
Prices rather incline TO still further re-
doction. There are large quantities ye, to
come in. A good many Of our farmers are
holding on awaiting better price. and many
Of them borrowing money a, ~ to 8 Der
cent month to keep from selling. The
question is, whether they will sell or run
the risk Of being cold.

DEMAND FOB TAAH HAHDs.--A number
Of young men nos working around in town
and country. intend starting to Kansas
when ihe spring opens. and il is anticipated
there viii be . great scarcisy Of farm hands
and high priees. In view Of this fact, there
10 great encouragement offered TO young
men LOADING about Eastern cities and farms,
Who are willing and able to undertake farm
work, to come West. We can assure them
that farm hands viii be in demand through
ost this region. But 10 not come With the
anticipation shs, light work, such as clerk
ships, &c, can be obtained il the tow Ms
and cities, or that money can be picked up at
any business without industry and steady
perseverance,. The fancy editions Of young
men, gilt edged and morocco bound, issued
by Eastern shops and stores and papenues
for Western circulation, generally lie on
the shells when they reach Us, in the alb.
sence Of any demand. But those editions
got up in practical form, capable Of stand
ing rough usage. and which seem at home
in the farmers homestead or on the bench
Of the mechanic, are quickly snatched W
without much regard to price, and made Il
gil their legitimate sphere Of usefulness.

yention was engaged Tuesday in . discus

pears TO be grea, diversity of opinion
AMONG members on this subject. Our dele
gate is quoted in the report ~ saying
II seems to be conceded BY nearly all,
thst " have come here for the purpose o.
removing the bank restriction in our pres.
ent constitution. We are TO choose be
tween the free and the State bank system
| prefer the former. a. the latter affords
facilities for swindine. By scheme OF
inteSchangss and BY borrowing, they can
do business with less specie than the Law
requires, and can issue more notes than
the law permits. II poor system should
be submitted to q vote OF the people, II
would be adopted, for il would bs . choice
by them between that and nothing. and
their necessities would lead them TO &c.
cept it. II society was to be organized

Of Property Destroyed.


We learn By gentleman who arrived
yesterday morning from Chicago, that news
had been received there of tremendous
destruction Of property on the Hudson river.
Tha, river rose four feet higher than i, was
ever known before, producing inme nss
loss. Al Albany the water penetrated into
warehouses containing lime, and an awful
eonhsgrstion followed. The loss at tina.
city BY food and fire 10 estimated at 81
900 600.
From the, same source we gather further
items. There il about fsur feet snow in the
st. Paul region and grea, dood is antici.
Patsd. The Elgis bridge is gone on the
Chicago and Gslens Railroad, and other in
juries have temporarily interrupted and i'm.
peded travel on that road. Oae hundred
men are at work on the Do Puge river
bridge, Rock Island Road, between Joliet
and Morris. Every effort is being made on
this thoroughfare to repair injuries. There
appears TO have been general flooding Of
the country last week by rain and heavy

Republicans have no intention Of cutting

competent to select proper Judge - the
members OF the Bar. At least, so far a.
the Democratic portion Of the people are
concerned. they never fail to assume the
responsibility when they have the power
to elect . man Of their own party. We
think We may now assurs members Of the
Bar and al others Interested, especially our
Democratic frieAds, that the Rspsbaicsss
will nominate sandidats for Judge Of THE
District, no matter what other action may
Be taken upon the subject. We urge our
