ONE day last week, says the Kenton Re
publican, man named John Gerky was
fatally injured by the fall of a tree while
chopping in the woods near Johnstown.
He had cut the tree off at the stump, and
started to leave it, when he discovered that
it was falling upon him. He stepped aside,
but his foot caught, and he fell to the
ground. One of the limbs of the tree struck
him, and injured him so severely that he
died in about 4S hours after the accident.

The Outrage I'm the Senate by iti
i Sn Presiding Officer.

Inc Columbus correspondent of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, under date of Thurs
day, has the following in relation to the
presiding officer of the Senate, which re-
fleets no credit upon that official. We have
heard but one opinion expressed of the af-
fair, and that is one of universal condem-
nation. The Democrat alluded to is Coz.
BABER, In character and in talent, the peer
of this Lieut.. Governor LEE, who so wan
tonly insulted him, outraging decency at
the same time, at time and in place
where the insult could not be resented
Col. BABER was invited within the bar, and
under a rule of that body had a right to be
there, and to protect him in that right, and
in his person, from insult, the Lieut.. Gov
ernor, acting as President of the Senate,
should have been the first man to resent the
outrage, yet the insult, wanton, malignant
and unprovoked, came from himself while
occupying the post of presiding officer OF
the upper branch of the General Assembly,
and our only regret is, that the Senate had
not taken action thereon, and by public
rebuke to its presiding officer, taught him
that wanton insult to gentleman, which
would have been promptly resented on the
street. could not be tolerated in the pre-
siding officer in the Senate, even though he
is protected by the Constitution from being
called to an account elsewhere for words
spoken in debate:
4" During the debate in the Senate to-day
on the bill to take an enumeration of the
negroes in the State, DIR. Griswold, seeing
a prominent member of the Democratic
party present, stopped a member from
speaking, to make motion that the said
Democrat be sent for to aid in passing the
bill. The President of the Senate, the man
chosen to keep order in debate, instead of
rebuking the insult offered to the gentle
man, added his mite by ruling the motion
out of order, on the ground not that it was
discourteous and ungentlemanly, but, as if
to add his puny insult to that of the Sena-
tor from Lorain, that the gentleman, naming
him, soas present. The insult gratuitous as
it was, was offered where it could not be
resented-the participants shielding them
selves under their privilege. Truly, the
Lieut.. Governor of Ohio has been guilty of
contemplate action, which reflects no
credit on the body over which he was
chosen to preside; and brands him as de-
void of gentlemanly breeding"

The Crops.

The Monthly Report of the Department
of Agriculture for October i received from
the Commissioner;
The Commissioner says that 1.-THE full
promise Of the early summer has not been
realized in the wheat harvest The in
crease of area in its effect upon the aggre-
gate production is nearly neutralized by a
small diminution in some OF the States in
the Weld per acre. The increase In the
total quantity is scarcely more than three
per cent and that is mainly from the Pacif-
ic coast.
The progress of wheat culture West
ward is remarkable says the Report.
Not only does it go with population west
ward. but its movements in an accelera-
ting ratio. yielding in results, in bushels to
each inhabtant surprising to eastern far
mers. The territory between the Missis-
sippi river and the Pacific ocean yielded in
1859 about % .Oo0,O bushels. yields this
year about G., 0O0, 900, while the country
east of the Mississippi with its accession OF
population. &c &C., has made no increase
