Crop Items.

\ Mount Pleasant letter of the ::2,2d
says:
1.-The winter wheat will make q pref
ty fair yield. | hear OF some farmers
estimating their crop at twenty to TWEEN
high as thirty bushels. The spring
wheat is a failure or pretty nearly So
will not average over six or eight bush
els to the acre. Oats promises II splen-
did return-are nearly ready to cut
Corn will prove total failure in many
tields-will not make more than one
half crop. Grass is all ready to cut
will be a fair crop in amount
The Davenport Gazette of the 9th
says: "The only::farmer we have seen
who is at all thankful for the recent
rains is an experienced agriculturist,
who was in the Gazette office yesterday.
He says this summers rains have been
the blessedest thing for the farmers i'm
aginabIe-for if the copious floods had
not drowned all the grasshoppers, the
crops would have been eaten up by the
voracious insects In walking through
his fields he noticed thousands of young
grasshoppers among the barley heads,
dead-having been drowned by the
heavy rains. .&s#
The Des Moines Register of the 25th
states that Maj. O'Connor arrived in
town last night, having come from
Muscatine by way of Keokuk. He
says the crops along the whole way look
nothing at all like famine, but the
greatest plenty. Many traces of the
storm are not visible. Wheat stands
up well, and is good. Oats are not
down very badly, and will he Of yield
immense. Corn looks splendidly.-
This j. good word from the Des Moines
valley, out Of which came the most dis
NAL reports during the food.
The same paper says, Mr.. j. A. Fer
guson returned yesterday from trip
! through Madison aud Adair counties
and brings good word concerning the
crops. The farmers are busy at harvest
/ and are about one third done. Wheat
! will turn out on an average about ff-
teen bushels to the acre, and oats thirty
to forty. Madison and Dallas will have
more wheat and oats than ever before
the increased breadth sown, maxim up
for the damage done by the flood
The Lyons Mirror of Saturday, the
oath inst, talks as follows of the pros,
pect at that date: ...a
The cessation Of rains in this section
of the country and the ripening of the
grain, cause the wheat crop to promise
much better than it did a week ago,
All fields show the effect of blight
somewhat, we are to'd but the kernels
| killed are shivered to chaff, while the
majority are plump and sound. The
| prospect now is that good average
crop will be harvested, and one Of our
grain dealers around the country de-
clares that but for the blight, the yield
must have been thirty bushels to the
! acre.

The Prohibitory War at Adrian,
Michigan.

The law of Michigan prohibiting the
sale of Intoxicating drinks has been al
most dormant for some time, but recent
~ organized parties-prlneipally ladies
have taken means to have it enforced
at Adrian, and a great excitement is
the result. The hotel keepers sulienly
closed their houses rather than keep
them open without selling rum. At q
public meeting committees were APP
pointed to provide accommodations Tor
offered to entertain travellers. Accom-
modations were at once secured for so
persons, and Afterwards they were raised
to 12O. A committee was then appoint
ed to open u temperance hotel, but the
hotel was set on fire and several persons
injured. All strangers arriving IN the
city were cared for at private houses
The livery stable keepers made common

A letter from Princeton, Kentucky,
gives an account of a singular and fear
full accident which occurred in that vi
entity few days since. A wagon upon
which were twos immense mill stones,
one weighing 1850 pounds, was passing
along the side of a high hill, when the
heaviest stone rolled from the wagon
and sped down the hill with a fearful
velocity, crushing trees and shrubbery
in its course. At the foot of the hill
stood frame house, i'm the yard Of
which, crushing the fence in the way,
the stone rushed over and upsetting a
number Of bee hives, and scarcely inn
peded in its course, bounded into a
stock pasture beyond the house, dashed
on through herd of cattle and one
horse. A number Of young children
were playing in the yard at the time the
bee hives were overturned, and were
stung in fearful manner, one of them
dying from the effects soon after, and
two Others are speechless and blind and
will hardly recover.

PERsoNAL.-Mr. S. $. Daniels, U. S.
Route Agent on the u. p. II. II. arrived
at his home in this place on Wednesday
OF last week. Mr.. ID. is off duty in con-
sequence of injuries received by one of
the many railroad accidents which have
recently been occurring in all parts of
the country. The train which he was
on ran off the track and made a general
smash up, by which two were killed
and many more or less severely injured.
Mr.. d. was thrown several feet clear of
the train, and was quite seriously bruis-
ed. His visit here must be a short one.
as without change of orders, he must
leave to-day on the return to duty,
although but poorly able to resume
work.

AN ILLusTRATroN.-T advantage
of advertising was pertinently illustrat-
ed in our Office day or two ago. One
of our citizens called and inquired for a
Burlington paper, stating that lie wish
ed TO send an order to Il certain firm at
that place, but had forgotten the name
Of it. We handed him u copy Of the
paper he desired, but after long and
careful search he was unable to find the
advertisement of the establishment
After giving up the search he went out,
remarking that he would have to send
his order elsewhere. Such instances,
by the way. are of common occurrence:
The firm with which our citizen wished
to deal, if it, advertised at all, doubtless
did it in asspasmodic way. AS All adj
vantage of steady and liberal advertiS-
ing we have only to say that while in
one of the business houses of this city,
the other day. orders We're received for
more goods than could be supplied until
another invoice arrived. - Masculine

FRUIT JARs.-We learn from a little
inquiry, that those in the trade have
supplied this market the present season,
with thirty-nine gross Of glass fruit jars,
equivalent to 6,996 quarts, besides in
Vulnerable tin cans and stone vessels for
the same purpose. Also, to assist in
preserving the winters sauce, upwards
of fifteen tons of sugar have been drawn
here and disposed of since the lst day of
July, instant. AS cherries, raspberries
and currants have been the principal
fruits to be preserved, thus far, it will
be readily seen that the yield has been
much more abundant than on any pre-
vious year.

Ben. Pittman, the famous phone
graphcr, has just returned TO Cincinnati.
from reporting the Yerger trial at Jack
son. Miss. He says that it was by all
odds the most interesting and thorough
he ever reported. The defense had
engaged the best medical talent in the
entire South to prove ferger insane,
and nothing could be more elaborate
and exhaustive than the efforts to estab-
lisll that plea. Mr.. Pittman believes
that if the trial had been before any
jury in the country, it would have
acquitted Yerger. As 1t is, he believes
that the military commission found
him guilty and sentenced him to
death.

in our eagerncss to collect and arrange
the election news on the night of that
memorable day, we could not find time
to make, in our issue of the It'll, our ac-
acknowledgements to those of our colored
friends who contributed to the success
of our cause. We now thank them in
the name of their white fellow citizens.
They are brave and true men, who de-
serve our respect, confidence and alice

ception of the ordeal through which
they had to pass, that conception must
be inadeq uase:
