WHEAT IN IowA.-The Davenport Ga
zette says the reports of the wheat crop are
unfavorable all over the State, except in a
few places. Had all the wheat been cut,
there would have been full average crop.
As it is, there may be nearly this owing to
the unusually large quantity planted. But
there are great many fields which the
reaper has not and will not cross this
season. Some grain which would repay
cutting if laborers could be obtained at Il
dollar day and their board, farmers refuse
TO employ hands at $3.50 per day to touch.
Other farmers have cut sufficient for their
own use, and for seed, and permitted the re-
mainder to rot on the field.
This condition of things is particularly
hard on our farming citizens. While crops
were good last year, prices were very low
and now the wheat crop is almost a COM
plete failure with many. Some who have
payments to make on their lands, or are
otherwise in debt, and relied upon their
crops for relief, will have hard time of it.
It viii be hard enough for those farmers
who are out of debt.

4 HAUNTED HOUSE, IN New YORK-In
one of the most fashionable and central
localities of the city, at the corner of two
pleasant streets, stands a house of elegant
exterior, which has oeen occupied for years;
many times it has been taken by parties
either ignorant of its mysterious character,
OF determined not to heed the popular ru-
NOR; a hustle of cleansing has been evident
for few days; cart loads of furniture have
been taken in, and the aspect of the build
ing has been cheerful again; when, presto,
there is change. The furniture is brought
out and carted away; the window shutters
are closed, and the place is deserted, and
silence and gloom reign undisturbed. 1t
was taken just before May; but in week
or two there was a bill on it bearing the
cabilistic words-"This house to let" and
such is its present condition 1t has looked
very deSolate in the moonlight for few
evenings past alongside of its brilliantly
illuminated neighbors. Many believe it is
really "by spirits banned" Y. Express.

A SINGULAR DEArH.-A singular death
occurred in Brooklyn last week The
New York papers furnish its history as fol-
lows:
"a boy, ten years old, named Geo. Prick
ner, the son of a German widow, residing
on Dodworth street near Broadway, sud-
denly disappeared on Friday last and was
missing until yesterday morning, when his
dead body was found in large trunk or
chest in the house of his mother. 1t ap-
pears that on Friday, while the mother was
absent, the deceased was at play with a
companion, and evidently got into the
trunk to conceal himself when self-adjust-
ing lock closed the lid upon him and he
was smothered. During Saturday and Sun
day the friends and neighbors looked in
every direction to fnd the boy, but without
success. Yesterday morning the mother
was induced to open the chest by a strong
smell which seemed TO emanate from it ex-
pecting to find the body of a rat, but to her
astonishmen she found the body of her miss
ing son."
