A JUpvnAN WHO WANTS TO 60 Howe.


Yet this sane Federal Judge has since as
signed as a reason for refusing to sentence
Bushnell Immediately, his resolve that the trial
Of Langstou shall 90 on without further inter-
ruption from Writs of Habeas Corpus, gracious
ly promising, however, that the time the perse-
cuted citizen lies in jail before sentence shall
count A Jeffrey could not have been less
concesecnding What matters it if citizen
be deprived of his liberty for days and weeks
in order that the Government .pursuers may
take another victim by the throat Bushnell is
a citizen of Oberlin, and an Oberinte has no
rights which a Federal Court is bound to re-
spect It is nothing for fifteen citizens of LO-
rain to have day added to their prison life by
rTournment Of a Federal Court to suit its own

The Weather--VegetatiO Crops.
The glorious May weather so far, has been
worth millions an hour to the West. March
was unusually mild and gave vegetation fine
start April was wet, chill, and frosty, so steadi-
ly SO as TO hold the started vegetation very
much in check May came in with clear sun,
and warm breathings and yesterday was in the
melting mood of June. All nature has been
yivifed as by enchantment. Buds have burst
to blossom and leaf SO suddenly that the transit
ton is marvel, and vegetation has sprung up
like Jonah's gourd May no untowarl frost nip
it as suddenly.
The fruit prospects in the Lake country are
about all the palate can desire Cherries, pears,
peaches, grapes, &c, give abundant promise
Apples orchards generally do not make as good
a show. 1t is not the bearing year, and many
trees are blossomless. A gentleman from Like
county-one of the best Apple sections-informs
us that the prospects do not indicate more than
half a crop. We note with qualification that
our exchanges from all quarters continue to
speak favorabIy of the fruit promise, and we
trust a grand harvest awaits fruit growers as
well as eaters.
The reports from winter grains, particularly
wheat, are universally good. An unusually
large breadth is standing in all the wheat
growing sections of the country, and il never
looked finer the first of May. 1t is TO be hoped
that its early growth will give the fields every
where the start of the fly.
The farmer can ask no finer weather for put.
ting in spring crops, and the whole country is
now the busiest of busy hives. May abundant
harvests reward the industry Of all
