Loss BY FLooD.-Mr. Conner, a well
known and highly enterprising farmer o
Aliens Grove township, harvested, last fall
a crop Of two thousand five hundred bush
els Of wheat, and stored it in rail bin in
the field. On examination the other day
he found the entire lot completely spoiled
it having become dampened by the late
rains, and in consequence became 90 heated
that it rotted in the bin. To harvest this
wheat last fall, cost Mr. G. the sum Of seven
hundred and fifty dollars, which, together
with the loss Of the wheat, which is at least
81 200, makes nm aggregate loss Of 81 $50,
saying nothing about the seed and the ex-
pense of putting in the crop, which would
probably raise the amount lost to very near
~ s2,ooo The wheat was 50 damaged as
70 he good for nothing but manure
Other farmers in the same neighborhood
are also suffering from the wet weather.
they arc moving the wheat constantly
from one bin to aGother thus keeping it as
dry as possible, yet many are suffering
heavy losses
The new wheat opin that vicinity looks
very WELL but, in most cases the straw is SO
heavy that when it has grown to its full
height, the wind will break it down and
ruin it. The crop is not expected TO be more
than onehalf what it was last year. Our
informant states that fields Of corn which
have been planted Mree times, this spring,
is almost entirely drowned and washed out.
and that which remains presents very pale,
sickly appearance Not more than one half
of the land which was prepared for corn
has yet been planted. Many lots have been
submerged in water to the depth Of one foot,
while the whole face Of the country is more
or less drenclied with rain This trouble
does not pertain to that district alone, but
is the same, to greater or less degree,
throughout argessporton of the State

ofthe LeClaire House in Davenport on Mon
day evening last. Everybody down this
way know Eichelberger formerly of the
Ogilvie House. They know him to be a
very prince of landlords obliging, accom-
modating, and indeed the polished gentle
men. 1t is the same Eichelbergcr that now
keeps the LeClaire House, and it was IN

were made fpr opening the LeClaire and
We have never seen arrangements more

The l.eC!aire House is now ready for the
reception of guests and we guarantee that
the travelling public will no where find a
more comfortable home than at this house.
Eichelberger has hosts of friends in this city
who know him too well to stop any where
else while in Davenport.

most harmony Of action and greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed at the Democratic County
Convention, which assembled in this city
yesterday afternoon. The impossible state
of the roads prevented an attendance of the
delegates from some Of the remote town
ships, but the meeting was nevertheless
very largely attended. a short but point
ed address was delivered by the Chairman
Mr. Laurel Summers, impressng upon the
party the necessity OF union and harmony.
1t is evident that the Democracy are wide
awake, and that Scott county will do good
service in the cause in the approaching
State contest. The official report Of the
proceedings will be found in another col

sion to remind the members of this Conven-
ton of the importance of union and harmo-
ny. We have been defeated in this State
during the past four years from the want of
harmony in the party Our defeats have
not been owing to the numbers Of our oppo-

point delegates to the State and Congress-
