private letters from the West represent the yield
OF the corn crop az much better than was expected

early part of the month had excellent effect and
thers is now every indication that We shall have
two-third crop and ons that will be in condition
to ship. The New York Post says:
1t is notorious fact that our exports of last
years corn we're N uch reduced in consequence Of
the softDess OF the grain, and that millions Of
bushels went to waste. The present yield promises

Of free masons, wounding one Of them, says:
Among other singular stories, he relates an in

aod avows that it was his intention to have shot
the President if he had not supposed he was kind
ly disposed towards him. In reply to the inquiry
what he would have done had the President told
