is days, and especially nights, with the mer'
curry at eighty-five or over, and consequently
while all our exchanges are filled with re-
port. Of splendid crops of wheat, rye, oats,
and grass-splendid both in quantity and
quality but little is said of the greatest
staple of the Middle States-lndian corn.
This is reported in many places as unusually
low and backward, whole fields in this viclnl-
ty barely reaching the knee. For this crop
however, there is still abundance of time,
with the proper provision Of heat and mos
ture, to grow into the profuse productive
ness which has characterized those which
have matured earlier, and with greater per

stand of corn is good. and we believe II ~,

Daniel Quill were shot by policemen John
H. Williams and Irvine Bell. and Thomas
Jeffrey, who was summoned to their aid rs

Quill died in Il half hour after he was shot,
and his brothers are supposed to be mOrtally
wounded 1t occurred on Brook street. near

peace. and showed his mace II mark of
authority. The men whom he represents as
fighting did not cease their lawless action,
and the three officers attempted an arrest.
Resistance was made by the men, whom, 1t
is alleged, knocked Jeffrey down, and drew
their knives, when the officers commenced
shooting Williams shot either two Or four
tunes, but thinks it was two; Bell shot three
times, and Jeffrey twice. This seems 10 have
