CRoPs.--The growing crops
through Central and Northern Ohio,
at least along the line of the Allan
tic and Great Western Railway, do
not wear a very encouraging ap-
pearance. Wheat has been harvest
ed We bear less complaint Of its
failure than in the Southern portion
Of the State. Still, it is not an aver
.age crop there Oass promise well
and previous to the late heavy rain,
stood well Corn, though rich in
color, and thrifty in growth, is very
backward, and the weather 50 far
in July has not been such as to en-
courage the hope of fair crop. 1t
is small, unequal, aud will require
a good deal Of hot weather and a
late fall to bring it to maturity
Hay is everywhere abundant The
only difficulty is to secure it in
good condition There has been SO
much rain, and SO frequent, that
very little has been yet cut and put
away without q soaking. 1t was
selling last week, in many places
on the Reserve, as low as $5 per
ton. Potatoes will be plentiful, if
the rot does not destroy them
Away from the immediate lake
shore country, there will be very
little fruit-no peaches, and but
few apples. In a ride of a hundred
miles, we did not see a dozen trees
trees that would yield an average
crop, and most Of them are without
auy fruit. Grapes will be light,
aad those that have set are from
second blossoming, the first having
been cut off by the frosts. Inciden-
tally we may remark, that the far
mers hold On to their wool. The
Eastern agents have found few
wool growers inclined to accept
their offers. The highest prices
yet paid have been fifty-two and
ffty.five cents per pound. The far
mers are looking for seventy-fve
cents, and being rather "forehand-
ed" in money matters, will not sell
short of that figure, unless thorough
ly convinced that there will be no
rise before the clipo 1866 is ready
for market.-C1ncinna6 Commer-

Extreme Ignorance mud Bitterness Of
Feeling i'll Southwestern ArkAMSsis.


4 gentleman Of this city, just returned from
q trip TO Red river, gives US some interesting
items concerning tle southern portion Of the
State, md The feeling existing there.
The people, Ie says, refuse to take nation
q currency considering it as worthless rs
their own rebel trash, Or mors 50; They have
been confirmed In THIS belief by Burrows, the
ex-rebel general, who is down there spoutlng
treason, and "tlriny the southern heart-h
The feeling among the ruling classes is very
bitter against Union men-the associates Of
free nggers-as they call them, and against
the Federal Government.
The Ignorance OF the people is extreme.
Newspapers are almost UNKNOWN there, aud
the knowledge Of passing md past events Is
very limited among them. Questions Ike the
following would often Le psotoandcd to our
informant: Did Gr1nt really kill President
johnson ~ EDO yon think slavery done away
withs' is Lincoln dead, sure enough W
known they Nhe rebels) we're not to ba re-
stored 10 their former privileges, they never
would hare lain down their arms, and LOOK
Ing ulon it as quito condcscension on their
part, In having done 50 % jet.
The poorer class, who are 50 much desplsed
proved themselves friendly. In one thing, NIL
seem to be agreed: the putting down OF the
lawless bands that fnleat the country, and rob.
and p}under indiscriminately They lately hung
the notorious bushwhacker, Dr.. Stone, Of
Scott County, and one Of his sons. Another
one OF his sons had previously been killed.
They were also after the bloody scoundrel
Fitzwilllams, from this place, who, ut the
head Of his cut-throats, put to death so many
guod Union citizens Of this vcounty, before tho
occupation Of II by Federal troops. Fitz-
williams has eyaded capture as YET, But he
will, undoubtedly, stretch hemp sooner or
later. On the whole, It may be considered

The Attempt to Isurn GalTestou-yEhy
tllc PORT il not Opened.


Our mort stin remains closed, and the State
ia consequently greatly embarrassed. The
reason assigned Tor this state of things Is a
singular one. It Is said the Collector ap-
pointed for tie port Of Galveston lies sick in
New Orleans. It Is not strange that Custom
House officer should be sick, for. all Custom
House officers are mortal, and as liable as
otlser men 10 be indlsposed; but the question
naturally arises, why should nearly d whole
account Of the Mdisposition Of one man :?
Why is not deputy appointed to act In such
emergency
Although buainess Is at stand-still, set we
arc not without occasional excitement. Three
or four nights since most diaboEcol attempt
was made TO burn and sack this town. In tie
space of two hours tho city WIS set Oh fire In
no less than five different p1aees. Fortunately
The citizens aud military authorities were on
the alert-Inccndiary conversations having
been overheard the day Pteylous=and oil the
batlcd. Six or eight wooden buildings in
, cluster, md fnciuE fremont street, were con-
sumcd, In spite Of all attempts to save them.
The day alter the fire several arrests were
made, but no trials naye yet been grantcd.
The eye for eye and tooth for tooth doctrine
should prevail in instances Of this kind, aud
human being who Is deprived enough to set
fire to building containing sleeping Inmates,
should himself be consumed. The plans Of
plundering during the time the town should
be On fire, were frustrated BY the energetic
Laughlin. He scattered strong and efficient
police fezce ever the town st once, Us soon as
The fire bell gave the alarm, mud thus com.
plctcly headed off the robbers, much to their
chagrln. If another attempt Of this sort Is
made, somebody may get hurt.

Distressing Death.
IFOm the Louisville P1ees, Aup. 11.I

Monroe Houscll, eighteen years of nse, met
q horrible death IN barn near MI. Pleasant,
Iowa, last Monday n'get. With two other
youths he went to sleep beneath . loft Just
filled With sheaf oats, aud during the night
the ttrbers gave way aud come down upon
cred as to be prevented from giving Ut s any s,asn s
and nothing Was known Of tie accident until
3lr. L. D. Housell went to the barn in the
morning. He gave the alarm and removed
the cats as soon as possible. A timber had
fallen across the breast Of young HouselI,
probably killing hl1n almost instantly. Some
broken timbcrs formed protection for the
other young men, and they received no Injury
further than being pretty uearly smothared
by thei. close confinement.

wAN4rRu i PLACER.

: A young mzn In the country writes us ask
ing assistance to procure place Hc Is will
Ing TO .work, IL sure he has the capacity, Is q
stranger and seeks guidance from strangers,
to reach the end IN view, d beginning IN life.
nently located in tho .Tocations city fur
uishcs, but are similarly appealed to through
the mails. II Is impossible not to regard these
applications with sympathiz1ng Interest. We
do not envy that man Lis hca1t, to whom they
do not lccling1y suggest experiences Of his
own, when be himself stood just Mt the
threshold or active lie. Every man Is at
some period Of his career an Archimedes re-
quIring place to rest his lever. II Is &oyery,
many, and thsrc arc few exceptions, an era Of
trial and anxiety.
Much depends upon the choiec with which
TIC brief scasen Is weighted. The young man
finds himself at: the switch where the tracks
ofli1c divc1gc., Which shall lie take? How shall
he best enter On cithcrs Thcrc are maxi1ns
which puzzle him as he looks out upon the
world. :.sjS1o,u aa,d suri ~ Is wisdom well ap-
proved, but how to distinguish cautious pro-
crcss from 1udolcnce or lnck Of enterprise.
The end of these hitter Is As tssure ~ as it Is
undesirable. Thai other adage, ~ rolling
done gathers 10 naoss, :" hns valuable mcaung,
but has also its dangers. Sometimes il Is rs
vel, no, TO collect the moss that gathers over
spirit and zeal, tcnaciously clutching lean soil
OF herren limb.
In letters like tho one above referred to.
generally from strangers 10 st1anscra, refer
cnccs aic Usually given which, ii well chosen,
supply some clue: to qualities and capacities,
but etiu the correspondent IL u stranger. The
first impulse On receiving letter Of the kind
is one of,sympatlIy a1ld desire to he OF services
10 the applicant. This is certainly our OVID
view In connection with the above letter, and
nc give or reply location where It may
reach others than this writer, who like him
hare thcir. eyes on the avenues 10 career in
city.
There are plenty OF places in the:wofld Tor
the exercise of all the qualities ind capacities
Gos usefulness. Any crest city Ike Chicago
offers them In abundance Like The wealth
Of The placer or the rock, they are only to be
realized by a Jealous pursuit and some hard
knocks Places to be had for the asking, or
reached without competition, arc worthless.
One must follow The crowd, and only rarely
succeeds by going off 10 one side, alone. A
stout and jealous pnsh for places others arc
seeking, strong pull al the oar IN the dircc.
tbn In which others are rowing, Is the old ap-
proved method OF finding good piace, and
there Is no better mode. There arc very lew
places which the applicant, il he be . begin.
ncr, will reach as well by letter or By odycr.
tiscmcnt as By personal application. 1t Is
very rare TINT employers seek their assistants
