however adds that Lord Derby yielded to the cogent
demand thus made for a more liberal policy ON the

The Last Hours OF General scott.

ELQLu INC @Nth AVA NSAANu A+NJ w.
On the day of his arrival he said 10
Captain Boynton that he had come TO
| West Point TO die. Captain Boynton re-
| piled that ne hoped not but the General
peatsd his statement, by which It WO4ld
seem that he had s. pFesentimeRt that his
mortal career was rapidly reaching its
close, Notwithstanding his feeble health,
howe7eT, he @Gs able to rise as usual every
! morning, and went out riding eYesy alter
| noon, until Sunday, when his physicians
advised him to remain Ct his rooms. On
| Saturday afternoon, he not only took his
accustomed drive TO Cozzens, but devoted
! several hoursto writing letters. He was
exceedingly weak after this labor, but APP
| pretended no i'll effects from it, although
he felt more than usually exhausted.
During the night he slept soundiy, ana in
the morning seemed to be much refreshed
but he kept his bed orthe most of the
day, in obedience to the physician, the as
sistant surgeon Of the post, DR.. Marsh.
On Monday, his daughter, Mrs. Hoyt, who
came upon a visit from the city on Satur-
pay returned to New York, leaving her
father, as she supposed, on a fair way TO
recovery. He was in excellent spirits
and although he felt assured that the end
was nigh, he didnot apprehend that death
was then standing by the bedside, ready at
any moment to give the fatal blow. Dur
ing Monday night he experienced a chill,
but the doctor thought that it would pass
CT IS ordinarily, and that NJ immedi-
ately unfayorable result would come from
it. This, however, did not prove to be the
case. From that time until his lips were
closed forever, he uttered but a few words.
Even this fact did not create any alarm
among the officers of thepost. The General
during his %soiourn st this place periodi-
cally, 1t was expected. At Q o'plock this
morning he was known TO be very i'll, but
although he died at ll:5 o'clock, it was
not until 10:45 that it became evident that
death wat so very near. At this time the
chaplain of the post, Rev. J. A. French,
wns sent for, and Immediately hurried to
the bedside Of the dying man. General
Scott was unable to speak a word, but sig
niied, by look and motion, that he was
conscious that he was soon to die. The
chaplain took his hand, and asked him
several questions, which were answered
by q slight pressure, which conveyed to
those present the assurance that the dying
chieltain was resigned to his fate, was
ready to die like a soldier, a Christian and
a man. Rev. Mr.. French then solemnized
the last sacramental offices, and while he
was giving uttersnce to a prayer the spirit
of General Winfield Scott took its fight.
Besides the chaplain there were present at
the time, General G. W. Cullum, Super
intendent of the Militery Academy, As
sistant Surgeon Marsh and the Generals
body servant.

CROP ITEMS.

A gentleman who has lately Travelled
extensively through Southern and Contra
Ohio, states that since the late rain the
wheat crop is coming forward very rap
idly, and that with favorable weather
from this tins until harvest an average
crop will be realized in most localities
Farmers are feeling much better in tht
valley Of the Miami than three weeks age
over the crop prospect.
The AshtabQla Sentinel says the frost
has not materially injured the fruit in
that section, but it destroyed the greater
part of all tender garden plants. A few
grape vine buds were cut off in certain
positions, though not enough to affect the
general crop. The season is quite back
ward, though the spring opened early.
Vegetation grows slowly, and is mani
testify suffering from the dry weather.
There is time, however, for very good
crops if the weather should be favorable
through June. The grass will not be as
abundant as last year, though it may be
better in quality. What little wheat we
have seen in this region looks very well
and recently passing through the Genes
see country, we saw very promising fields.
Other crops are not forward enough TO
judge Of.
The Chardon Democrat is informed by
3 gentleman just returned from q western
trip that the wheat in Northern Indiana
and Southern Michigan is almost a total
failure, and, from Cleveland toToledo not
more than half a crop. They are sowing
spring wheat largely in Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois.
The Mansfield Herald says: There is a
general complaint throughout the country
of the prevalence of caterpillars. It is
said in some places that the apple trees in
particular are thickly infested with them,
and that many trees are being injured.
1t is the duty of every fruit grower to
take measures for their destruction. A
friend informs US that ordinary carbon oil
poured on the nest will effectually kill
them.

A very bitter, highly censorious, and
in many respects, untruthful attack upon
Mr.. Elkins, in last Thursdays Morning
Leader, recalls our attention 10 a short
communication from Middlebury, signed
"Veteran," which appeared in the Beacon
of the nth ult. In justice 10 Mr.. Elkins,
it is proper to say that he did not see the
article in question until the entire edition
had been distributed, and it is due to the
patriotic writer to say that the very i'm
portant qualifying word alleged was in
advertently omitted by the composition
the original manuscript reading " when it
is notorious that his defeat was caused by
his alleged shameful treatment sc. The
article was received just as we were going
to press, and seeing, in the hasty glance
given it, only a well merited robuke of
the inconsistent meddler who runs the
Journal We admitted it, without duly
considering its bearing upon Nj. Riddle,
for whom we have ever entertained the
kindest feeling and highest regard.

The Rank of ENGLAND

From the London News city a~rticle) May Is.
An analysis of the bank returns shows
an increase in Il week Of fIO,O 600, 900 in
the advances on private securities. This
unprecedented amount proves how enor-
nous has been the pressure for accommo-
dalton on the part of the panic-stricken
community. Inasmuch, however, as q
great deal of this borrowing was merely
precautionary, $4,000, 900 have been ad-
ded to the private deposits, and the in
crease of f3, 5000 in the circulation re-
suits mainly from the desire Of country
bankers to secure themselves against all
contingencies, and the notes Withdrawn
are not really thrown into circulation, but
are for the most part boarded. The re-
serve of notes is reduced to 1900, 600, so
that it is quite within the power of any
one OF the great joint stock banks, by
Withdrawing its current balance, to force
the Bank OF England to avail itself of the
authorization contained in the recent
Treasury letter. There seems to be now
a fair prospect that the bank will be able
to tide oyer the crisis without violating
the law. The $332,O0O of coin and
bullion withdrawn must have been taken
awsy chiefly by provincial Scotch and
Irish banks as a measure of p~recaution.

NORTHERN OHIO NEWS.
PORTAGE COUNTY.

From the Ravenna Democrat:
The Portage County Wool Growers
Association held its first Annual Shearing
on Wednesday last in Ravenna. Owing
to the shortness of the time since notice
was given of the shearing, the number of
sheep entered was not large, yet for quail
ity and condition of wool, and weight of
fleece as compared with weight of sheep,
the show is "hard 10 beat" It was
stated by old wool growers present that
the chilly, arid state of the atmosphere
detracted somewhat from the weight of
the wool in its usual condition. It is also
generally conceded that this years clip is
very light. Fourteen sheep were sheared,
the heaviest fleece being from a four year
old buck, and weighed fifteen pounds.
Fleeces from two 2 year old bucks weigh
cd "A lbs. 10 o., and IA lbs. 8 o.. one l
year old bucks fleece weighed II lbs. i
OF. In spite of the fears and predictions
of many, the shearing was a decided sue
cess, and no wide awake wool producer
present could fail to learn much of value
10 himself.
Commencement exercises at the Hiram
Eclectic Institute will be held on the 18th
Of June. The accustomed anniversaries
of the societies will be omitted this year,
giving place to a theological lecture the
evening before commencement, and a con
cert the evening Of the 18th.

SUMMIT COUNTY.

From the Akron Beacon
On Monday morning last, Mr.. David
A. Scott received a telegram from Russell
vile, Ky, to the effect that his son
William, died Of apoplery at g o'clock On
Sunday evening. The blow was very
sudden and highly affecting to the par,
ents and other friends of the deceased.
Young Scott was telegraph operator at
RussellYille, having married there somo-
thing oVer o year ago, and was, so far SIS
is known, in the enjoyment of perfect
health up to the time Of his sudden death
A young man, living in the family OF
G. c. Turner on High street, was robbed
of two $50 United States bonds and some
S35 or $40 in currency, on Tuesday morn
ing, as is supposed by a temporary
boarder at the house.
An article is going the rounds to the
effect that only 70 gold watches were re-
turned TO the Assessor of Internal
Revenue in the State of Ohio the past
year. This statement is doing great in
Justice TO the people Of the State, and

We call the especial attention of our
readers to the narrative of the Memphis
riot, which we publish in another column.
The writer, Mr.. Rankin, is a perfectly re-
liable gentleman, well acquainted with the
history of matters in Memphis, since the
close Of the war gave Mr.. johnson an
opportunity 10 try the beauties of his re-
construction policy on the Southern peo-
pie. He was an eyewitness of sIl that
he relates, and his narrative may there
fore be accepted as the literal truth. The
outrsges, the cruelties, the cold-blooded
v%illainy of the transactions which he de-
scribes can never, however, be adequately
conceived of by those who did not behold
them. If anything could reveal, in light
as clear as day, the demoniac spirit of the
Southern whites toward the freedmen,
and their settled and malignant determ-
nation TO Cypress and destroy them, it is
such All event as this. How much worse
than madness is it to propose TO commit
the safety Of those helpless Southern
blacks and the control of the Union 10
the hands of such .fends as those who
made Memphis a hell during the dark
md terrible days s month age2
