THE CRoPs-Wheat looks we'll in this
section, and the present cool weather is very
favorable TO its growth. While the people are
generally looking rather blue, the wheat crop
continues to IsOk decidedly green.
Fruit gives promise OF an unprecedented abun

the curculio hss concluded its invesfis atoms W

The wool crop is exceedingly heavy in this Vi

snapped up, at price. highly remanerstiTe TO

Mich. School Reports for the year 1882 The
Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruc.

ees pretty general review of the educational

the story Of one Lieut.. Edgerly's being dis

of truth in toe statement that this the greunC

while denouncing Vsnsndighan's arrest, are very
careful to state that they do net approve of hi'
conduct. Why are they so tender footeds They
claim him as the living embodiment Of the rights
and liberties of free people, but want it dis
sinctly understood that they do not indOrss hi
principles. What does this mean. Il mean
that he is so deep-dyed traitor that even ID.
coppsrhssds repudiate him. The people vii

Russian Movements.

The unprecedented action of Russia in re-
moving her fleets from her own ice-bound
seas and anchoring them in the friendly har-
bors of the United States, has been for long
time a subject of curious speculation among
our people, and of suspicious regard among
European nations. The solution Of the mat
ter appears in late telegram from St. Peters
burgh. A war cloud of terrible dimensions
is hanging over the Continent, and when it
bursts Russia will find herself in hostile ar
ray against all western Europe. When she
last held that attitude her fleets were penned
up in her land-locked seas, and at the mercy
of the overwhelming naval forces of the allies,
and she was forced to sink and destroy them
herself. She has no taste for repetition Of
that predicament, and in anticipation of the
coming struggle she has sent her navy forth
from the Baltic and Black seas where it
would be worse than useless, and distributed
it at points whenceit can at any moment be
sent forth upon an errand of destruction Of
European commerce. Without any navy she
has always held her own very well in war,
and with that powerful, and to her new auxil-
larry, she is doubly formidable. The follow
ing is the telegram referred to, and fully ac-
counts for the milk. in the cocoanut. 1t is
dated at St Petersburg, Oct. 80:
War preparations continue here upon scale
unprecedented in the history of Russia. An i'm.
mense recruitment has been ordered throughout
the empire Very large earthworks and stone
forts have been constructed at this place, Cron-
stadt, Helsingfors, YibOrg and other places. The
old granite forts at Cronstadt will be covered with
12.ineh rolled iron plates Ten or twelve Moni.
tors and two or three iron-cads of different con-
structions have been ordered to be ready for sea
in May or June next. Large quantities Of can
non. shot and shell have been ordered from Eng
land and will come overland during the winter.
All the Government shops are being enlarged.
Every effort is making to render Russia indepeu-
dent Of other countries in war material as she il
already in food and clothes for her armies. On
the first appearance of the cloud the Rus
slams dreaded it very much, although they were
determined to do their utmost to sustain the En-
peror, If it came to that. Now, however, the
feeling Is entirely changed and they do not dread
it in fact, think they rather court it than 9TH
erwise. Alexander's popularity is immense, and
is increasing every day. He Is now visiting the
southern portion of the empire, but is expected
to return to St. Petersburg in a few days.
