CRops-HARvEsr.-We observe that
the farmers in this section Of the country
have commenced cutting their wheat.
There are various reports as 10 the quanti-
ty and quality of the grain, but we think
the crop is at least an average M Oats
look badly the crop will be short. Corn
is doing ,olerably well, except in low, wet
land if the season continues favorable
the prospect is very good for an abund-
ant crop. Hemp is Indifferent. The
warm weather is bringing tobacco out
finely. We learn there is at least SO per
cent. more plants set out this year than
was last, and the prospect is very latter-
ing for a large crop. The weather for
some time has been very warm, the Their.
moneter ranging about 80 in the shade.
Vegetation of all kinds is growing very
rapidly Brunswick No Press.

THE CRoPs-THE UPLANDs. - The
wheat crop, which is now generally bar
vested, all agree in saying is such as is
rarely witnessed in any country. We
hear Of quite a number Of fields which
will produce from twenty-five to thirty
bushels to the acre, which have received
no attention during the last year, not even
that of blowing or seeding, deriving its
entire crop from the waste of a former
crop. .
Mr.. Treat, who came down from Twin
Mound Oh Wednesday last, says he pass
ed whole fields of corn which stands full
six feet high. Vegetation will be some.
what injured on the bottoms, by the Sc
we're and prolracted rains, but the up.
lands have probably experienced but little
or no injury from the wet. The uplands
seem better adapted to a wet season than
the low lands, and will endure u drouth
nearly or quite as well, besides having
the advantage of health in their favor.

GRowrH OF THE AMERICAN UNios.-
The London Times, in a leading article,
calls the attention of the British public to
the wonderful expansion and prodigious
development of the American Union. "ln
reality" says the Times, moi even the
marvels Of American nature are compar.
able in magnitude to the recent features Of
American progress. The new State OF
Minnesota contains an area exceeding
that of France, and Kansas is larger than
Great Britain. The mighty process OF
colonization, which goes on there with
such rapidly, is withou, parallel in the
history of the race"

mature manhood. and, we hope, will sver
be found battling for human rights.

Correspondence of the Wyoming Telescope.
FIR. KrARNrY, June 90.
Mn. EptroR AS ! promised y6u,
when | left Wyoming, that ! would write,
| improve the first opportunity.
We left Wyoming, May l7h, and
cume to a little town called Nebrask City,
situated on South Table Creek, claiming
great advantages oUer her sister TornS on
account of a certain Mr.. Majors living
there, who has n contract with Uncle Sam
to forward supplies to Utah, and the dill.
erent Forts ON the route. ! hired to Mr..
Majors to drive a team of six yoke OF
steers to this place, AT $25, per month
and provisions found, with the privilege
of reposing at night on the heads of the
cracker barrels, with which we were load.
ed. We left Nebraska City on the Odd,
with seventeen wagons, aud Mr.. Scott "a
gentleman of the first order) as our wag-
on.master. With a good deal of whipp-
ing, &C., we drove about IL miles and
coralled for the night, having a very
heavy fall of rain; the roads were very
lad next day, and continued so the whole
trip out, raining almost every night. At
Salt Creek n of the boys got tired Of
walking and bought a pony of a Pawnee
Indian for a pair of blankets and a ring;
he swaped the pony with u white man for
another, and we started on. On the sec-
ond day, three Indians came up and claim.
ed the pony saying it was stolen, they
snatched the rope from the owners hand
and ran away with the pony, and none of
the best wishes Of the poor OK driver.
The boys, some twenty-five in number,
were first ate fellows, being nearly all
would-be wagon masters and assistants,
of course understood the business. Gen.
orally one common hand or flpo aspirants
could drive a team.
Before we left Nebraska City, Mr..
Majors presented US with a Bible and
Hymn.boo',, each with instructions to use
no profane language, drink no whiskey
nor play cards but gave us the "privil-
eye of driving Sundays !" We reached
here in twenty-one days a quick trip,

There are more men out of employ
ment in Cleveland, o., than there ever
were before at this season. They must
live, and are willing TO work cheap.
Something should be done Immediately
toward providing work for the needy and
deserving mechanic and laborer. In
Chicago there are ten men seeking EN-.
ployment where only one can get II. The
city laborers there are now working fol
half a dollar a day, and thousands are al
most starving for want of work. Farm
ers in Northern Illinois are hireing mer
at eight dollars a month. In Buffalo hun
dreds of men are out of employment, ant
in Detroit the same.-Plain Dealer.

Robert McAuley of Scioto county, o.,
has come home sick and poor from a six
years absence in California. but his wife
says he is not her husband, that he is an i'm
postor and will not recognize him. His 9TH
err relatives treat him in the same way but
the neighbors are divided-some say it is
he, and some say it isn't. He knows every
thing that the real man should know and
if he had brought back 100000 in Cali
fornia gold, we are inclined to think his
friends would have traced some resem'
dances tha. they cannot now discover.

The Philadelphia Press saws of the
London Times and the French Emperor:
"The Times lately told some unwel-
co,ne truths about the rufianly character
of the military officers of France, in in
dlgnant IN upon the recent at
tempted assassination of M. de Pene, by
some Lieutenant and fencing master Hy-
enne-and Napolean Iii Immediately
stopped its circulation in France. Only
a single copy of the Times is now allowed
to enter, and that is sent to Paris, in a
sealed envelope from Boulogne, specially
addressed to Napolean himself"

An ingenious novelty has just been
brought out on the North Pennsylvania
Railroad, in the shape of a station indlca-
ter, which informs the passengers of the
name of the station or place which the
train may be approaching. A cylinder,
placed in a conspicuous part of the car,
contains the names of all the stopping-pl la
ces along the line of the road. As the
train reaches or leaves one station, the
brakeman turns out and exposes to view
the name of the next. i, is a great boon
TO travellers.

national SALuTE.-At the instance
of Col. Gilmore, the Light Artillery
Company of this city fred a national sa-
lutte of thirty-three guns-the extra gun
being for the Territory of Nebraska at
sunrise the morning of the 18th. The
Artillery company did their duty as if
they had been drilled for years in the
service the cannon was made TO speak
as if the nation were but just emancipated
from the dominion of Great Britain. We
never heard sweeter sounds than the
booming of the cannon which woke the
echoes from the hills, on Sunday morning
last; and on that day of days in our ma
tional history, we hope never to be awak-
ened by any other sounds than the " can
mons opening roar" The fourth of July
is a national sabbath a day dear to every
American, and we regard the national
salute on the morning of that day, as
necessary 10 a proper observance of it, as
the ringing of the bell which calls us to-
church on Sundays.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated News Of
June s., contains a sketch of the Trading
Post in this City, and another that pur-
ports to be a representation Of Bellevue.
The sketch bears a striking resemblance
TO a Hottentet town on the barren sands
of an African desert, and resembles this
City just about as much as a Gopher hole
looks like a yaAsr Dog. The artist has
situated Bellevue on the west bank of the
Mississippi River, in Nebraska Territory.
The description of Bellevue, accompany
ing the sketches, contain blunders "too
numerous to mention" The sketchs were
taken by one COL CD Huyett, last winter,
and to Judge from the specimen before us,
he must be a brother to the artist who
takes in houssns to paint" Wonder il
those that took stock in the Colonies en-
terprise, would dispose of a few shares
cheap for cash.

A terrific thunder storm occurred last
evening, and the rain came down in tor
rents for nearly two hours. 1t was one
the most severe storms that we have had
this year.
The dwelling house of A. w. Truu-
bull, a few miles west of this City, was
struck by Lightning, soon after the storm
commenced, and was burned to the ground
together with his household goods. Mr..
Trumbull was absent at the time, but his
family we understand were in the house
when it was struck, but fortunately were
not seriously injured. The lightning
struck in several places near this City
but we have not heard Of any further
serious damage being done.
We trust our citizens will extend tc
Mr. Trumbull that material aid, which
the nature of the case demands. 1t Is
hard enough to be burned out of house
and home, in prosperous times, but a
the present time, the loss is doubly severe
