Death OF the Hon. A. u. Stone.

Hon. A. P. Stone, prominent citizen of
Columbus, and for many years an active poll
tician, died suddenly yesterday morning. He
was attending to business Tuesday morning,
and was supposed to be in his usual health.
In the afternoon he was seen walking toward
Green Lawn Cemetery, which is something
more than two miles from the city, and sub
scquently was found By the sexton sitting by
the graves of two children he had buried,
deeply engaged with some papers. Two hours
later he was still there, and was invited by
the sexton to ride home with him, but he de-
clined. As it began to grow dark, the invita-
ton was again extended, and again declined.
Upon returning to the city. the sexton inform
ed Capt. Van Dorhn son in.lawto Mr. Stone,
and friend, of his whereabouts, and they
took a carriage and drove out to the cemetery.
They found him lying on one Of the graves
asleep Upon rousing him he expressed some
surprise; said he had oversight himself; got
into the carriage with them and returned
home, talking pleasantly all the way. He re-
tired at a late hour In the morning he was
found in bed in a stupor and died in few
minutes. 1t is supposed that his walk to the
cemetery, when it was excessively hot, was
the cause of his death.

GE3y% Considerable excitement of late has
prevailed in the market for bread stuils,
which has caused an advance in the English
market and corresponding one throughout
our own country: the several causes which
lead to this result are accounted for, first, by
the drought which is represented to have pre-
vailed in the grain growing districts of Ger
many, which were large exporters of cereals
to England, and which it is said has caused a
failure of the crop the current year. 2nd,
the critical condition of the growing crops in
England, which on the eve of harvesting arc
subjected to danger unknown in any other
country, and has induced large orders on our
country for their neces ary supplies, Il lastly the
rains which have prevailed in our own country
the last month, which it is feared has proved
disastrous to a large portion Of wheat not
previously thrashed, or housed--yast portions
of which are known to be exposed to the late
prevailing storms, particularly in the North
western States the above causes combined,
caused an advance in the prices both of grain
and flower to considerable extent, and con-
tinued without abatement until it was ascer-
tanned that the most Of the outstanding wheat
! in the Northwestern States was not only most
abundant and of fine quality, but that 1t had
been very generally secured, when the market
in the United States gave way somewhat,
but has since recovered and maintained the
advanced prices carrying along with it, bar
relied meat, provisions and bacon -four rat
ing from 80 to 50 50 per Dbl above late
prices Itis now ascertaincd that the wheat
crop of the United States, though in some To-
calities quite failure, is nevertheless an un-
usually large average one and of very superior
quality, and that the surplus for foreign ship
nent will transcend that Of the preceding
year; the oats and grass crops are also re-
ported favorably, and the country have reason
10 expect an unusual crop of the growing
corn, Of which accounts are most favorable
In the Southern States the crops of vegetables,
fruit and corn, are represented to be sufficient
\ for the consumption Of the country.

suits. In the midst of the late agitations,
the process of a weekly journal was too slow
to meet the public wants, hence the necessity
for daily city papers for the time being, no
matter at what cost, which accounts for their
unprecedented prosperity and the correspond
ing decline of country editions, no matter how
well and efficiently they may have been con.
Quoted like the old post coach system, no
matter how mettlesomc and thorough the team
which drawsit, the public being in a hurry
after the news of the day, having friends and
connections engaged in the war, they felt COM
PEELED to travel in faster coaches, and there
fore must have and enjoy the luxury of dai-
ly, though it be at the cost of $40, or even
$50, the year. Now however that this terri
bic war is over-that the institutions of the
country have been preserved, that our geo.
graphical dimensions remain intact, as well
against the assault of domestic enemies as
the foreign one, who would have divided it
among foreign powers,-and that the dear
ones in the service of the country have either
returned to their old homes or found honora-
bic graves in q remote Countrywide careful
prudent farmer, and the occupants of our in
terror country towns and villages, are disposed
to come back to the old state of affairs, so far
at least as relates TO the news Of the day, and
are disposed to ccohomise and awnitthe issue
( of his own county paper, which is not only
great saving of money, but gives him in a
condensed form, all the news which he could
possibly receive through city papers at much
enhanced price. Through thesc causes, the
country press having lost for the time being a
large portion of its patronage, it is now in a
fair way by the removal of the causes which
induced this loss to recover lost ground, which
the country editor must prepare himself to
rcciprocatc by proper attention. care and dill
lgence and which city proprictors must ac-
qu.escc in with all possible grace, the fault
not being his own, but the result of inevitable
circumstances Therefore in saluting our CO.
emporarlcs of the country press, we say,
stand up, better times await you!

take the oath, and to persuade the prwates to
do so, tied each of us, our hands and arms to
our sides and our feet together so that we
could not use them, laid us on our sides, and
