ANOTHER FESIAN RAID.-The Canadians
of the New Dominion were alarmed at a
supposed Fenian raid about one week ago.
Their apprehensions were groundless, as the
stir was occasioned by the rush of the peo-
pie to Murphy & Co.'s Dry Goods Store,
Houston House, Johnstown. Gun boats
couldn't keep people from buying their beau
tiful dry goods and dress goods. They keep
at 277 Main street. Don't all call at once,
for the rush is tremendous.

FIRST PICK There is no danger Of a stock
such as Wanamaker & Browns giving out
very soon, and if there was, they are con-
tinually manufacturing and adding new and
fresh garments. But at the same time, there
is great advantage in making early selections
of Fall and Winter Clothing. We advise all
our readers to be in time making their pur-
chases, and to get a. first pick" out'of this
wonderful stock at Oak Hall. of which we
hear so much.

the yolks removed and crushed, and then
placed over fire and stirred carefully,
till the whole substance is on the point of
catching fire, when the oil separates and

DURING a concert in Pixies Hall, Gin
cinnatj, the great doors of the hall were
thrown open, and moment later gentle
man advanced to the platform and touched
the leader as he was gracefully welding
the baton. Next this bold person inter
rupted a singer right in the midst of her
carolings and her warblings, and her voice
died away in whisper. Then, as the au-
dience had begun already to leave the hall,
evidently suspecting that all was not right,
this individual waved his hand and en-
couragingly announced that there was no
occasion for alarm. Not the slightest, he
repeated, with good emphasis. He pro-.
ceeded to state that fire had broken out
in the next building, but that there need
be neither hurry nor fright, for there was
abundent time for all to leave the room.
The audience was quieted at once. The
rush that had begun was checked; fright
ened women and children became cour-
ageous; ladies sat resolutely in their seats,
waiting for the crowd to pass the singers
and the musicians coolly gathered up their
books and their scores; there was quiet
movement toward the door, but there was
no panic. The hall was cleared in a few
minutes

A few days after-some of my informants
say two and others three days-a wagon
containing a large box eleven feet long
was observed to be making its way to-
ward Newelrs house. Several veracious
witnesses are willing to swear it was New
ellis team.
There the substantial part of my nara
tive ends. | am confident the publication
of this statement will bring out further
facts. Several parties were mixed up
together in perpetrating this fraud, and
fear, a powerful emotion in human nature,
will compel some of the parties to furnish
the missing links in the chain of facts |
have detailed above. The most surprising
thing about this is the magnitude of the
hoax. All other attempts at humbugging
sink into insignificance by the side of the
Cardiff Giant" Richard Adams Locke s
moon hoax and Poe's story, CLANS
Phault," are simply moonshine when
compared with the cool effrontery of the
Cardiff hoax. Physicians, geologists,
lecturers and Swans have visited the
statue of poor, half crazy Geraud, and
returned dumbfounded. will close this
narrative by saying that Newell and his
abettors have persistently refused to al
low any person competent to decide the
question of this being a petrefaction or
work of art to inspect it, & Professor Hall,
who was allowed few moments OF
examination, was pledged to reserve his
opinion until permission was given him to
make it known ~

Agricultural Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct %.
TIE Department of Agriculture has
Just issued a preliminary report of the
condition of the crops. 1t says the great
agricultural lesson of the season inculcates
the necessity of draining and thorough
culture. 1t is not an exaggeration to esti-
mate the reduction this season from alter
nate drowning and scorching of farm
crops at $20O,OOO,000 The general ap-
prehension of various failures in the corn
crop of the more Northern States has
been materially modified by the sunny
weather in September, and exemption
from killing frosts to October 1st. Early
frosts in some portions of the Eastern and
Middle States checked the rlpenlng and
left the frosted fields in an immature and
damaged condition, but the injury is COM
paratively slight in extent and limited IN
area, as the whole crop has had an unusu-
ally favorable maturing season, resulting
in the very gratifying amelioration OF
prospects for the supply of this important
staple. Yet full crop can by no means
be expected. When the harvest is over
and the local estimates are completed, the
aggregate will attest a moderate yield,
amply sufficient for all the wants of the
country Had the spring wheat been
equal to the winter, the whole crop
would be enormous throughout the South.
| The yield is unusually large and the quail
| ity excellent. Texas and Mississippi are
somewhat less conspicuous sharers in this
improvement than the other States III that
section In Illinois the counties reporting
an increase equivalent to 10 per cent. or
more are almost without exception. In
the southern part of the State, below the
10th parallel, the winter wheat region,
those claiming eighttenths of a crop or
less, are, with one or two exceptions,
spring wheat counties. Indiana grows q
large proportion of winter wheat, and
consequently this year produced much
| better average yield than Illinois. Many
| Of the counties return high figures.
| The area of cotton cultivation was in
creased last spring 16 per cent. More
| that million acres were added to the cul
| tivated area Fertilizers were literally
used in the Atlantic States, and improved
| implements were to some extent employed
| Rarely has there been a better season.
| for oats than the present, very few OF the
| States returning an average OF less than
| 10 per cent, and some giving 30 or 30 per
| cent
The season has been too dry for either
kind of potatoes in the South, and on the
Atlantic coast to New York. New Eng
land generally has good crop, and it is
unusually good in the West, with the ex-
ception of Minnesota. The production of
sweet potatoes is manifestly increased.
A slight increase in the aggregate num-
Der of fattening cattle, as well as in their
average condition, is reported. Several OF
the States fail to maintain full average,
among which are New York, New Jersey,
Kentucky, and Illinois
