RAIN AND CRors.-lIaving lifted up our
cries for rain increasingly it seems ~ though
wo were to get enough and more than
enough Should the skies clear away and
no more rain fall for some time to come, our
praries would be burdened with immense
stores of the best Of grain. But if these
rains continue much longer, our wheat and
oats threatc en- to grow too rankly and to tum-
bic to the ground Mr. McNair, the general
agent Of McCormick's reapcrs, in the past
four weeks has visited large portion ofour
State, and reports the crops in generally
fourishing condition. The potato-bug has
made its appearance, in considerable num-
bers, in the southern part Of the State, and

A DEsPERADo.- On the downward trip Of
the Bill Henderson, desperate by the
name Of William Presho, was being con
veycd to Fort Madison for incarceration in
the penitcntiary. He had been convicted Of
horse stealing at Lansing and when within
about six miles Of his destination, he sprang
overheard with one Of the officers in charge
Of him by the name Of Hall. As it was in
tho night time nothing has been discovered
Of the fate Of the two men, but for fear that
the william succeeded in reaching the shore
James Palmer, the sheriff Of Alamakec CO.,
has offered reward of 800 for his deliver
ance to him alive, or his being i,sld in safe
keeping till lie can be taken charge Of
Presho is about twenty-five years ofage,
fve feet and nine inches in height, and
weighs about one hundred and forty
pounds.
At the time Of hisedaring attempt at cs-
cape, he was hand-cuHcd, and wore pair Of
dark pants end vest, . white shirt, draw
err, and socks. He has no whiskers, and
his face is rather spare, We hope, if he did
not perish, that he will soon be apprehend-
ed and tried on a charge Of murder, for our
community can not afford to have such .
desperate at large in its midst.
