Farmers tell us that there never has
been in this county as fair prospect
for an immense yield of corn, as is
presented this season. The wheat
crop will also turn out yield far in
advance of the expectations of far
mers before it was harvested. The
oats crop will be good; hay middling.
The potato yield will be. immense

The Valparaiso VIdette says the
wool trade is about over for this year,
and it has been remarkably active,
j Messrs. Calkins & Bro. bought about
1 10000 pounds and Bartholomew
about $4,000 pounds, making the
product about 100000 pounds, which
brought at least 100000. The wool
crop is remunerative one, and should
command the attention of our farmers
/ Farmers in this section are about
| done with their wheat harvest, which,
| we are glad to learn, is much better
| than was anticipated We have no
doubt there will be four times the
wheat harvested in this county this
year than there was last year, and of a
very much better quality. The corn
and potato crops also look very fat

BOILER EXPLOSION. Yesterday af-
ternoon, about four o'clock, the boiler
In the tobacco mandatory of Serb
Pering & Co., situated on Main Street
opposite the De-Pauw House, ex-
ploded, with a terrific report. The
head of the boiler went upward, tear
ing up the floors of the second and
! third stories, and cracking the side
> wall about twenty feet. Fragments OF
z the boiler struck the wall at the cor
ner of the building, making an open
ing large enough to crawl through
and scattering the brick in every di-
rection. Nothing but pieces were
left, yet strange to say, no one was
hurt, although a number of persons
were in the building at the time. The
engineer was an inexperienced boy
which probably accounts for the acci
dent.-Nea0 Albany Commercial.
