STATE ITEMS.
The Oscaloosa Times suggests the
propriety Of repeating al laws for the
collection Of debts, 20 - to destroy the
credit system, and compel business to
be done on = cash basis.
The Lansing Mirror says that in the
case Of Alamakee county W. Flem-
ming, ct al, an action for cutting and
carrying away timber from the county
swamp lands, taken to Fayette county
BY change Of venue, . verdict Of $500
was rendered against the defendants,
The case is to be carried to the
Supreme Court and the county put to
q farther expense. The verdict render
ed does not cover half the expenses
already incurred.
JEFFERSON Co.-The Je6srson;an
speaking Of the crop prospect says:-
There WAS not much fall wheat sewed
IN this County; but what there was
looked very we'll in the spring it is
now ascertained that there is good
deal of cheat in the fields !; probably
one-third of the breadth Of fall wheat
will be Of no account.
The Spring wheat, we are informed,
looks very promising.
There is probably more corn plant
ed in this County this spring than ever
there was before. Some farmers are
vet planting. If no unforseen circum-
stance occurs, Jefferson county will pro-
duce very large crop Of corn. Some
of the Pixies Peakers returned in time
to bring up the arrears Of the corn
planting. The other crops, from pota-
toes to blackberries, will doubtless
yield luxuriantly. As far as this county
is concerned, ithere is every prospect
Of good CROP"
The CKoPs.-Thus far in the season
our crops are doing finely. Every
farmer with whom We have converted
assures US that the promise was
never better. Wheat and corn are
doing particularly fine. II Iowa comes
up right this year, Is we firmly believe

successive failures, it will have an i'm

LOCATION OF THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE. = Those who have given
their attention to the location of this
Institution, and those who have per-
mitted it to give them any trouble. can
now rest with ease. It 10 located IN
Hardin County. At the meeting OF
the College Trustees, we understand
our Polk County friends had pretty
warm time, and they put forth every
effort to secure the location in that
county. On the first informal ballot
tho vote stood o. follows Hardin,
4; Polk, a; Marshal, 8; Tama, l I;
Jasper, l. After the first ballot the
Trustees resolved to throw out the
three counties receiving the least mum.
Der OF votes, and in thus doing, the
fight was left between Polk and Har-
din counties, and after considerable
balloting the Trustees finally decided
upon Hardin county. We believe the
location was made mainly upon the
feasibility Of the sites and the nature
Of the proportions presented to the
Beard Of Trustees and We would simp.
" express our satisfaction of the e. a
result. The site chosen is near Edo.
