Bountiful Crops.

Reports from Europe, during the
present week, are barely consistent
with those previously received in re-
lation to the prospects of the wheat
and grain crops. 1t is now stated
that the wheat crop now harvested
ia the best that has been known for
the past ten years. The reports of
blight and rust, which have been in
dustriously circulated through the
newspapers throughout this country.
are now suspected as canards, set
afioat for speculative purposes by
those interested in bulling the mar
ket here. At any rate we can find
no evidence of blight or rust in the
accounts which reach US through
our European exchanges, nor is the
crop even partial failure in any
part Of the sold world" In Italy
and Algeria the wheaty yield is repre-
sented as unprecedented. In Hun
gary the quality is very superior this
season, but in quantity probably
falls slightly below the average, per
acre. In Spain the crop is said to be
prolific to an unusual extent, and
that there will be a large surplus for
export. From Germany the ac-
counts are favorable, whilst from
Southern Russia the yield, as well
as the quality, are excellent. In the
south Of France the crop is already
harvested, and the yield and quail
ty are fully up to the average. These
accounts appear reliable, and are au-
thenticated in ameasure, by the gen
eral tendency of prices to lower fig
ure. Under these circumstances it
would be prudent course in our
farmers to continue their present ef-
forts to realize on their crops as
early as possible, and to receive
with caution the canards Industrious
ly circulated in the newspapers by
selfish and unprincipled spectators,
who are interested in manipulating a
"corner" in wheat. These men can
afford 10 pay handsomely for bogus
European correspondence.
An annual report on the crops of
England appears in the London
Times. It estlm ates the wheat crop
TO be four bushels per acre, or about
thirteen per cent below the average,
and ten bushels per acre, Or about
twenty eight per cent. under last
years crop, but believes that con-
siderable portion of this deficiency
will be met by the additional acreage
under wheat. OF all the cereal
crops barley is the most variable.
Comparing this years produce with
that of last year, there is this year
less wheat, but more barley, hay,
straw, and altogether greater yield

Struck BY LIGHTNING noon on
Friday of last week the house of Joseph
Hoskins, situated about one mile north
west of this village was struck by light
ming. The electric fluid entered the Chin

the broken brick tar and near. II ran
down the stove pipe, splitting one length
open, and nearly hattening it. 1t struck
the stove, SCATTERING it in pieces, killed a
cat which was lying near the store, broke
the floor to pieces, and entered the cellar.
The conclusion so shocked Mrs. Hoskins
and Miss Clayton, who were sitting in the
room. each with a child on her knee, that
they both fell to the floor. Mrs. II. scream
ing II am killed." Though severely
shocked, they were found to be not very
seriously hurt, and Mrs. FL. was able to be
around the next day. One end of the
house was considerably shattered, the
plaster being scattered all over the floor.

Il II UNA.

EDS. CHRONICLE f: The storm last Fri
day afternoon was the worst our village
has seen for some years. The thunder
and lightning was terrific at times. Some
half dozen telegraph poles along the rail
road track were struck by lightning, badly
splitting them and letting the wires down
on the ground. The telegraph Office at one
time was seen to be in perfect blaze, the
having passed along the wires,
entered the window, SCATTERING panes of
glass in the sash, and badly damaging the
instruments. The battery had been dis
connected by the operator just before the
storm. A ball of fire was seen to pass out
of the office under the depot, ripping up
several boards in its passage. Happily no
person was in the office, or the conse9uen-
ces would have been serious. Mr.. Bovee,
the railroad agent, and others, were at the
far end of the depot, and felt the shock.
One tall, Swapping fellow must have re
ceived heavy shock, for he was seen
staggering around for about an hour, after
the storm had somewhat subsidized. 1t is
supposed the lightning he was struck with
had been retailed to him at five cents per
glass. Towards evening the rain COM
menced again, and continued nearly all
night long perfect deluge. The damage
to grain not stacked will be very heavy.
The overlooking of the marsh by these
heavy rains will have tendency to make
hay scarce in this section. The prospects
for anything like fair supply are very
dubious. The farmers appear to be very
busy now having their grain thrashed.
The crop this year is unusually large.
The nomination of VIM. E. Rowe for As
semblyman from the northern district is
hailed with universal satisfaction by our
citizens. Visiting the hotel owned
and occupied by Andy McCutchin, we
were Hospitality entertained by the gentle
manly proprietor. HIS house is frst-class
in every respect, and in one of the best To-
cations in the village. An inspection of
the building will satisfy any one that no
expense has been spared to make it pleas
ant, agreeable and attractive to the COM
mercial traveller or farmer. There is quite
a number of single and double bedrooms,
all fitted up in style of comfort and ele-
gance, seldom found in country hotels.
There is good cattle yard attached to the
premises. Also large and excellent gar
den, by which the table is supplied with
all the deicaces of the season. Andy is
an enterprising and agreeable gentleman.
and has demonstrated the fact that he
" knows how to keep hotel"

GEoEGE.

EDS. CHRONICLE If it is not display
ing too much hardihood in barbarian,
would like the privilege of making few
suggestions in regard to an article " eml-
nently Mineral Point" in the Democrat,
written by the diletant Verdigris. TO
begin with, would politely call his atten-
ton to the fact that the society whose
premium list so painfully shocks his "@s-
thetc culture" is an agricultural Socie-
ty," devoted to the interests ola part of
our population, whose barbarouS" tastes
have never been corrected by the perusal
of Ruskin'S Elements, and whose lack of
" art knowledge" is probably fearful.
1t is matter upon which we may con-
graduate ourselves that there is one in our
vicinity who has preference for genuine
art. Although DOdgeville may be in a
condition Of deplorable ignorance, Mineral
Point has at least one conn0isseur." and
whatever delightful haze of uncertainty
may exist in regard TO his "art knowl-
edge the fact of his modesty is patent
Another fact call attention tots that the
Society is known as the " IoUa County
Agricultural Society,"" and the executive
committee consists of one from each town
in the county, one from the village of
Dodgeville, and one from the city of Min
eral Point, and it is to be sincerely regret
ted that the art education of the last named
member was not attended to in time to
reuolutionize the premium list.
am glad to be informed, with the sane
ton of the editorial "we," that there are a
few crumbs to be thrown us from the su-
perabundance of the "art knowledge of
the immaculate Verdigris, in the shape of
recipes for Grecian paintings, etc. From
his delightful familiarity with the old mas
ters, there is no doubt but the gentleman
has been confined to diet of old art cata-
logues, and it appears to have been too
strong for him, in conjunction with some
elements in his composition. A custom
once existed of naming people from some
personal popularity, and the correspondent
of the Denaocra: seems to have made for
tunate selection.
When the fine art department is remod
eled, and the bugs are classed by them
selves, think he will stand fair chance
of taking the first premium as the best
specimen of hum-bug. CANoNIcUs.
