Mr.. X. X. Jones, well known az a fruit
grower and agrlculturist, living near Quincy,
writes to rs that agricultural matters in his
section are far from promising. He say.
sour fall wheat is baby injured. A good
warm rain and a few days OF pleasant sum
shine may improve our prospects; but more
than half that was sown last fall is dead, dex1
dead. This, with the damage of last years
crop. makes bad show for wheat growers.
great deal more spring wheat will be
sown than ever before, but most of our farms
ers do not know how to SOW it, AID unless
they pre-. are the land in the fall, there will be
an uncertain crop at best. Peach buds are
all killed. All varieties Of cherries on :my
place are all right. AS for pears and apples,
it is too early to tell anything definite about
them

We are gratifed to be able to state that

suffered but little, if any, from the receu, cold

peace reigned throughout the land. No tidings
Of victories won during the war can have been
more gratefully received, either In the North
or in the South, than will be the declarations
contained in this great peace proclamation Of
President Johnson. That proclamation con-
veys tidings Of great joy to the whole American
people. Commencing with the earliest period
Of the rebellion, the President, In this procla-
nation, revives and rccites the proceedings Of
his predecessor and the action Of Congress with
regard TO the momentous events then occur

CoMMEsDArioS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
FROM AN UNEXPECTED QuARrER.-Mcssrs. Brown,
Devoe X Knapp, the contractors for. cleaning
the streets, have submitted to The Mayor a
document that can be regarded in no other
light than as a tribute Of praise to the efficiency
and vigor with which the new Health Com
missioners have sought to secure the public
welfare. II is intended as complaint; but
since the things of which the contractors COM
plain are the very ones that all others will
rejoice at, II seems probable that the street
cleaners win get but little sympathy in their
alleged grievances. They complain that the
Board Of Health has harassed and annoyed
them 10 considerable extent As this Is what
the Board Of Health was made for, every one
must be glad 10 hear IT, We see The form this
annoyance has taken in the last police report
on the subject Of the streets. In four wards
every street without exception has recently
been cleaned. This II without preceden..
But we also see by the same police report that
the contractors have not been sufficiently
annoyed even yet for there Il q return Of three
hundred streets not cleaned at all. Please stir
them upa little more, Messrs. Commissioners
Keep up the annoyance. The Board Of Health
recently resolved, o. one Of the necessities Of
public health, that no more dumping grounds
for manure should be permitted within the city
limits, and this also the contractors complain
Of a. hardship and an Infringement Of their
righta They also consider II outrageous that
their cleaning Of the streets IL made more
dlficult BY another act OF the Board--namely,
compelling people TO clean out their cellars
and yards, "many Of which have not been
cleaned for number Of years." II Is to be
seen whether the public, ct the call Of Brown,
Dcvce q Knapp, will come together and pro-
test against such high-handsd measures a.
compelling people TO clean mp their premises.

THE New JERSEY DEAD LocK-SESAroR
ScovEL MASTER or THE SrruArIoS.-Senator
Wright, democrat, of New jersey, has risen
from his sick bed and gone to Washington to
be ready for the vote on the question Ia the
Senate Of passi,iss the Civil Rights bill over the
Presidents veto. The Escessi:y, therefore, for
the election Of radical by the New Jersey
Legislature, in the place Of Stockton, ruled out
the other day, becomes urgent Accordingly,
in the Jersey Senate yesterday, motion was
made to 90 into . joint iceeting Of the two
houses for the election Of Senator; but again
IL was defeated by Senator scovel, the Presi-
dent Of the body, who holds the balance Of
power. There Is, Of course, mighty bubbub
In the little provincial city Of Trenton, and q
terrible party outcry against the treachery Of
Scovel; but his true course IL 10 stand firm.
He may thus become great man; but n he
gives way he is lost, and sinks at once into OBJ
security.

parison is natural and correct In that case
the braying of an ass called attention to the
presence of an angel; and in this case, if the
contractors keep up their braying, they will
force upon the attention of the public the fact
that the Board Of Health, though perhaps not
a supernatural visitant, is at least a commission
not amenable to the ordinary means of
political persuasion and fully disposed to dis
charge its duties in the public interest without
