A disturbance occurred at Chsstertown
(Md.) on Tuesday last between some persons
who accompanied an excursion party from
the city of Baltimore and q number of the
citizens of Chestertown. The row common
eed at the pu bile house of MIR. j. W. Dlyer,
and the result is thps stated in the Kent
News:
"Ooe of our county citizens was seriously
injured by billy who had no, attempted
any violence; another struck with the but OF
a pistol; another with tumbler, fists. 60;
knives were drawn and the money drawer
opened and money violently taken to the
amount of ten or eleven dollars, also pistol
and new hat of Mr.. D.'s, none Of which were
recovered"
The military were subsequently ordered
oct, but the offenders having gone on board
the steamtos she soon took her departure,
and thus peace was restored. The News
adds:
Heretofore excursion parties have been
treated with respect BY our people, but there
set ms to be unity Of sentiment anoog US
that they must cease visiting u.s. Steps are
being taken to prevent their landing. and j!
captains of steamers have auy regard for the

The Crona fthe West.

The Chicago Journal informs us that the
aggregate yield of wheat in the several Wss-
tern States is about one half the average OF
former years. The freshets, the rust nd the
general unfavcratleness Of the season have
operated disas,rously upon this important
staple In Sou,bern Illinois and In some
parts of Michigan, Ohio Indiana, Wisconsin
and Minnesota the yield is fair average; but
in other portions OF these States, which have
heretofore been the most productive in TINS
article of grain, the yield falls SO lar below
the average that tine aggregate yield cannot
exceed half crop. The winter wheat has
been successful wherever raised, and the
spring wheat almost an eutiIe failure.
As regards oats, there is lamentable fall
ing Of in the crop of this year, Is compared
with that of last year. Ii has been almost
totally ruined in Illinois by the rust, dis
ease which has never before been known to
afict oats. In other parts of the West the
same disease has been equally fatal to the
crop. 10 Wisconsin and Michigan the yield
will be fair, but take the whole crop OF the
West together, and we may safely say that
it will fall considerably below half of the
average.
Barley, too. appears to be short. There ia
great Inquiry for it by those who wish to buy
it, aud but little can be found. So, also,
with rye.
The prospects of the growing corn crop va.
~ as to localities. While in some sections
there will be good crop, in others thsre will
be hardly any corn at all. Much depends
upon the lrosts. Should the frosts set in ear.
ly the corn in most parts of the West will DO
"npped 10 the bud" We may look for
good, though not an average yield.
There is, however, great quantity of all
kinda of last years grain still to come tor
ward, which will 90 somewhat towards max
lng up for this years deficiency.

the South is defeated; and with an antisla-
