Of rain Tuesday afternoon. Its good effects are
apparent in the field and garden. The crops aud
vegetation are going forward rapidly.
-THE corn crop Of Wood County never looked
moro promising. The present indications are
that it will be the largest yield yet produced. The
young stalks stand we'll, have good color, and
are strong and thrifty to an unusual extent.
j. DAUrERxAs, Of Portage Township, informs
us, that Notwithstanding the evil reports concern
ing the wheat crop, that are prevalent throughout
the county, he has tract Of wheat, sown in Sep
tembsr last, that promises to give as fine yield
as was ever produced.

ATTACK OF NEGRO SOLDIERS UPON Two Po-
LIcEMES-DEATH OF OFFICER McFADDES.-The
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed III tne' city
last night on account of the killing OF Olllcer
Thomas ]. McFadden, of the city police, by q
negro soldier. As near as we could gatner
them, the facts are these: Between ana ~
o'clock Officers McFadden, Spaulding, and an
other, while patrolling their beat on water
street, between Third and Fourth, neard Two
or three shots fired in what is known as
O'Neiis alley. The officers advanced into the
alley to ascert tain the cause OF the firing, Whlcn
they found to have proceeded from dlsrepu-
table negro den about half way up the aliey.
They started into the house, and were met by
n party of negroes, armed and unarmed, VINO
resisted their approach. general sculiie ana
shooting ensued between the negroes ana ON
GERS, during which Thomas j. Mcta adden was
shot through the head with Spencer rllie pan,
and instantly killed. Mr.. Spauldlng received
several contusions upon the head ana body,
but was not seriously hurt. The negro soldier
who shot Officer McFadden was arrested snort
ly afterwards by Officer Slater. HIS name Is
John Berdet and he had been stationed as q
guard at the Government buildings on second
street, between Main and the river. lheIe
were several other guards with the murderer.
They left their posts and visited the negro
house Of i'll fame early in the night, ana were
no doubt drunk at the time OF the melee
The report of Mr.. McFadden's death spread
over the city like wildfre, and the police force
of the city were incensed 10 an alarming ae-
gree For while disastrous riot seemed IN id,
evitable but, luckily, the excitement suDslaea
before any of the negroes were caught. Al
most most the he entire police force rallied to the
neighborhood of the murder, and up 10 twelve
O'Clock they had made ten arrests; All negroes @ @
