The CROPS IN ENGLAND.-The con-
ditiOn and prospect of this years
crops in England are thus summed up
by recent London agricultural Jour
nal:
"The wheats in the north and east
are certainly not frst-rate. From
North Yorkshire we learn that there
is thin and defective plant on the
heavy soils, and in the West Riding
the crops cannot be an average. In
North Lincolnshire the wheats are re-
ported to promise less than an aver
age; and In South Lincolnshire and
the Great Fen Level the crop may be
an average, but will certainly be late.
In Cambridgeshire wheat looks toler-
ably well the same is true in Nor
folk and Suffolk, and in Essex the
crop is good on heavy land, but on
the light lands poor. In the south
ern counties the wheat is caring three
weeks later than last year, and it is
reported doubtful if a full average
can be attained. And the midland
counties do not promise more than an
average wheat crop, even with the
best of weather. The prospects of
barley are equally unsatisfactory. the
weather having been too cold for pro-
ducing heavy crops. In Norfolk and
Suffolk the barleys look well on the
highly farmed lands, but on thin soils
are defective, backward and yellow.
Oats; beans and peas tell more fav-
orable tale. The potatoes come up
irregularly, and have to some extent
thrown out super-tubers instead of
putting up vigorous top. AS far as
probabilities strike US now, we antici-
pate a rather late haryest-that is
three weeks or month later than
last year-and a yield of wheat and
barley somewhat below an average
an average, however, being possible
if we should have settled, sunny

ORLEANS COUNTY COURT REPORT.
&C. ;. Scaver vs.. Horace Pierce. This
was an action on the case against the de-
PENDANT as sheriff of Orleans County, for
the default of his deputy sheriff, Amory
Parker Plea the general issue and the
statute Of limitations. 1t appears that a
number of writs were placed in Parker's
hands against the plaintiff, and that all the
goods of the plaintiff in his store at Barton
Landing were attached. BY the consent
of Seaver the goods were sold by said Par
ter before judgment was obtained on them,
and the plaintiff settled all the claims on
which the writs were issued so that no ex-
ecutions were issued. against him. He
therefore claimed the proceeds of all the
the goods sold by the sheriff except certain
sums he had already received. The de-
PENDANT, Pierce, claimed that two OF the at
tachments were made by the direction of
Seaver to defraud his creditors, and the
deputy acted under Seaver's direction, and
IhetO tlt t1CdNNl itiiCSl many VI INC SOoue
were sold on credit, which would relieve
the sheriff from all official responsibility
for the acts Of his deputy. The plaintiff
contended that the goods were not sold on
credit by his direction, and that if they
were so sold it would not release the sher-
if from his legal responsibility to account
for the proceeds. The court charged fol
the purpose of this case that because the
goods were sold on credit, the sheriff would
not be relieved from esponsibility, and the
case will pass to the supreme court where
the question, important to sheriffs, will be
fully decided. The jury returned YER

FEARFUL TRAGEDY AT CALVERT,
TEXAs.-The Galveston News says
the town Of Calvert was recently the
scene of horrible tragedy. For
over a year there has been a quarrel
between a notorious character named
Ben Brown and a DR.. Maxwell. On
the 25th of June, Brown, with a par
ty of about forty desperadoes, all
armed to the teeth, rode into town
for the purpose, as they avowed, of
killing DR.. Maxwell and two friends
of his. When Maxwell was told of
their intention, he mounted his horse
and rode down the street alone thro'
Browns party. As soon as he had
passed them, the order was given to
| fire, and there was a volley of about
hundred shots fired at him. he
and his horse were completely riddled
with bullets. Not content with their
work, they stabbed the body several
times as he lay dead or dying. DR.
NJ. was a young physician of large
practice and a universal favorite
throughout the country. After com
hitting the deed the murderers left
towE. A military force was to be
sent to arrest them.

The PLUMLEYs AND O. B. CLARE

The PLUMLEYs AND o. B. CLARK.
There are SO prisoners confined in
the state prison, at Windsor, So men
and 3 women. Among the men is
Horace Plumley, who killed John
Gilman, Jr., of Shrewsbury, and who
will be hung on the last Friday of Sep
TENDER, 1870. Ziba PlumIey, his
father, and Frederick Plumley, charg-
ed with the same offence. are also
here, the first serving a sentence for
life, and the latter a twenty years
term. Horace was visited by friend
to-day, and cried bitterly as he spoke
Of his execution. He said that he
would be perfectly happy if his SEN
tence was committed to Imprisonment
for life at hard work. He spends
much OF his time weeping and will not
probably live long if he continues in
this state. Judge Fisher, the states
attorney at the time of his conviction,
looked into his cell to-day. Plumley
spoke very bitterly of him. In this
prison are likewise Henry Welcome,
another convicted murderer, who has
not yet been sentenced, and o. B.
Clark, the Rutland forger, who had a
preparation for removing ink marks,
and made use of his skill in changing
500 drafts into larger ones. His
last operation was a swindle of some
$4,000 from the prominent banking
houses in Vermont. In going over
the work shops found Clark finish
