-Forney announces, as if by authority, that
"Five against and four for impeachment; three of
the FIVE are Radicals, and two are Democrats !;
while all four of the impeachers are Radicals. The
House will thus be compelled to choose between a

The monthly report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture states that larger wheat crop never
has been raised in this country than during the
present season, though it is not as large as the
breadth sown might have led us to expect. The
most noticeable increase has been in the Southern
States, with the exception of Texas. Oats and
rye are estimated above the yield Of last year,
bary slightly, beans and peas are an average. In
corn, the cash value and the fattening and sus-
tanning qualities, are greater than last year. SOr
gho cultivation generally is reduced; buckwheat is
an average CROP potatoes poor one, and In tobac-
co decline is indicated.

tesque changes in regard to the minor duties and
relations to the sexes. The last number of the
organ which they publish tells us that "Oneida
women keep the accounts, manage an important
part OF the manufactures, and sell goods at the
store; while men make bread, wash dishes and
hang out clothes" We should think this sort of
things would suit the feminine males and the mas
culine female, exactly.
