THE GRANARY OF THE WEsT.-The Chi
cago Press and Tribune, in answer to an arti-
Gle in the Nashville Banner, makes the fol-
lowing estimate of the crops of the North
west:
Illinois has grown not bushel of wheat
short of 26,00O,000, and Indiana about Is, 600,
900. The wheat crop of Wisconsin will ex-
ceed 100000, Iowa 14,00O.0O0, Minnesota s.
0OO,000. and Michigan s,O0O0O0 Your estimate
of Ohio, 25 100000, is about correct; but many
of her best informed citizens think her crop
will reach 2s 100000. Thus you perceive tha,
the seven Northwestern States have produced
lie, 900 bushels of wheat. The surplus
that can be spared from Illinois, Indiana, Wis.
consin, Iowa and Minnesota, after keeping
abundance for bread and Seed will be quail
to half of their whole crop. If your people
in the South are likely to be destitute of bread
they can draw on the "PraIrie State" for wheai
enough to make two millions of barrels OF
-four and shall still have enough and to spare
As to corn, our State will produce 100000 UOU
bushels. An ordinary crop would be 12O, 900,
600. You must not judge the agricultural ca
pacity or production Of Illinois in 1860 by H.
lnOiS in 1850

A LITTLE GIRL CARRIED THROUGH CUL-

says the Easton (Pa.) Express. little girl,
ABOUT eleven years old, daughter OF Jacob
Fulmer, through some means got INTO a stream
Of water that swept through Locust Alley,
and, its force being so great that she was una
Bile to help herself, the child was carried OFF
with the current about fifty feet, and then
plunged into a culvert through which she
passed distance of one hundred and eighty
feet, and from that into the Bushkill, bringing
up finally op rock in that stream. The cul-
vert is three by four feet in size. and those
who saw the child carried into 1t by the wa
ter, thought that she would meet her death by
being dashed against its sides or be drowned,
but their surprise may be imagined when we
state that only few bruises on one of her legs
and about her head could be discovered when
she was taken, very N UGH frightened, from the
rock in the Bushkill.

terdar morning VIM. F. Sims was summoned
before the Mayor to show cause why he should
not be fined for permitting his teams to pass
over the unfinished carriage-way of Main ST.,
between 7tb and Sth, against the remonstrance
OF the con tractor, who is doing the paving Mr.
Sims owns large planning mill on Main, be-
tween 7th and Sth streets, and must either sus-
pend business or have lumber hauled to and
from the mill. The entrance TO his yard is
from Main street, and to get in and OUT, his
teams are necessarily compelled to cross the
new pavement now being put down. On the
other hand, the city has contracted with Mr.
a Rick to pave this street, and if vehicles are
allowed to pass over his uncompIeted work.
ne can never finish it. Under this state of af.
fairs the question arises as to whose interests
must give way, an individual or the public
The Mayor has decided that the individual
must fall back, and, If in doing SO be is in
Jured, he must sue the city for damages He
also decided that it was the duty of the city
authorities to complete all Improvements with
as little delay as possible, so that citizens
might have no cause to complain of delays.

GENERAL WALKER AND HIS DxsraNs.-The
New York Sun, journal which has long
sympathized with the f1iiibusteripg move
ment of General Walker, and which may
therefore be regarded as good authority, says
Of his present adventurous expedition
Our own opinion is, that his plan ia to effect
a revolution in Honduras, where he has some
friends, and after establishing his authority
there, to enter the Nicaraguan territory, and
attempt the overthrow of the Government
Truxiilo, where Walker landed, is the princi-
pal port OF Honduras, on the Atlantic side
Its population numbers some four or five
thousand persons, and the harbor is defended
by several forts. With such means of defence
it is strange that Walkers party met with
scarcely any resistance. Either their landing
vas q complete surprise, OF there was treason
among the officers in command Of the Houdu-
ras troops. That Walker will be able to
maintain his present movement, we do not be.
lieve, and ii is not improbable that the naval
interfere in behalf of Honduras.
Honduras offers an inviting field for f1llibus.
ter en- .erprise. 1t has an area OF nearly 85. 600
square miles, and a population Numbering
over 100000 The climate, especially in the
interior, is salu ubrious, and its mineral wealth
comprising gold, silver lead, copper and some
of the precious metals, is very Considerable
Its extensive forests furnish some of the finest

leys, and abounds in cattle which are slaupht.

A BoY TEN YHARs OLD TRIED FOR MUIR
pKR-In Oarysville, Illinois, the trial Of
child named Finley, not yet eleven years old,
for the murder of DIR. Wren, his uncle, is In
progress. The evidence 10 altogether circum.
stantial, and is thus summed up in a letter:
The proof is that on the 5th of Julv last
Wren and the boy were left alone together, for
one or two hours, in room in a drinking
house. and that at the end of that period they
were found there-Wren dying of wounds and
bruises on the head, and the young boy sitting
only testified to seeing any act that even cir.
cumstantially suggested that Finley killed his
uncle. The defence introduced seyer.I wit
nesses to prove that the boy had not the capa-
city to discriminate between good and evil
The line Of defence chosen was this-that a
person under the age Of fourteen years cannot
be presumed to have that guilty knowledge
ana malicious intent which are essential TO
conviction of the crime of murder, and that in
order to such conviction, such knowledge and
malice must be clearly proved by the prosecu-
ton, and that in the absence of such proof ac-
quittal must follow. The inconclusive char
acter OF the circums tantial evidence was de-
monstrated. The boy, a light haired, blue
eyed, paie-faced child, is in court, with his
father and mother. He appears but slightly
conscious that he has any interest In the trial
The general opinion is that the jury will find
verdict of acquittal. Whether it will be
because they doubt the ply sical ability Of the
boy TO inf1ict with a stick, eighteen inches
long and two inches SO uare, such deadly blows
as were given to Wren, or because they doubt
the evidence that he killed his uncle, even il
able to do it, or because they have no proof of
his intelligent capacity to discern between
good and evil, and of malignant motive, il is of
course not possible to say. But 1t ia de- med
scarcely possible that the jury should hesitate
to acquit for some one Of these reasons, or all
of them.

BILE storm took place in the. neighborhood of
Warrenton Junction, between eight and ten
O'Clock on Tuesday night last The thunder
and lightning were quite sevtre, and for the
space OF an hour the rain poured in torrents
"that men had 10 dodge them to keep from be-,
ing drowned" Though the size of the drops
is undoubtedly exaggerated the rain was ex-
ceedingly heavy, and deluged for awhile the
region lying between BealtOn and Warrenton
Junction. The Orange and Alexandria Rail.
road track was badly washed in many places.
The up night train was compelled to stop at
several points on the road, until the road bed
could be placed in order, and the track tempo
rariiy arranged so as to admit a safe passage
over. Licking Run, which is usually small
stream, at IL O'Clock bad swollen to be a foam

the night Of the stabbing, the prisoner, in com.
pany with Sarah Elizabeth Allen. went into
Terrell & Co.'s restaurant, corner Of 18th and
Gary streets, to get something to eat. While
standing at the bar, Patrick O'Hern, Barthol-
omew Sullivan and Patrick Kayton came in
to get drink. Sullivan seeing q woman at
the bar, pnt his hand on her shoulder and
made some remark which Pollard resented.-
Sullivan apologized, and while Pollard was
talking to him O'Hern put in few words,
which led to others, and finally to PROPOSE
ton to fight, Pollard inviting him into the
street. As Pollard started out, O'Hern met
and struck him, and being the much more
powerful man of the two, caught him by the
hair or collar, backed him against the wall,
and was no doubt beating him when he was
stabbed with dirk in two or three places.
and severely. Watchman Baptist and part
ner hearing the-row, entered the house, sepa-
rated the parties, and arrested them. The
Mayor declined to send the accused on to an.
swer for felony, but held him to bail to an
swer before the next Grand Jury for an af-
fray, and for carrying concealed weapon !;
and also held O'Hern to bail to answer for an
affray. He required Terrell to answer for
keeping disorderly house.
