ODDS AND ENDS.

Circuit Court adjourned Thursday
evening, leaving about an average
number of cases not disposed of. Moth
ing of general interest transpired, fur
ther than mentioned last week.
Mr.. Elliott had q narrow escape from
being struck by lightning when the
Butcher Shop was hit, last Friday. He
got off legally, though-proved an

It is reported-but we can scarcely
credit it-that the Section Lines in

Potatoes are rotting In the ground
considerably, by reason of the rains.
On account of the floods, we were
without an Eastern mail here from
last week Monday night till this week
Monday afternoon, at which time full
installments were received up to Sat
urday night. But the delay made news
rather scarce. Only think, that in all
that time we couldn't learn who was
the Democratic nominee for Governor.

The bridge over English creek on
tire Gosport road washed down stream
about a mile, and lodged, not very
badly broken. Supervisor Williams,
of this Township, had men out day
before yesterday, getting 1t out of the
creek. Further work on it will await
the action of the Board.
Wen have light bread in this neigh
borhood now. Flour took big rise
last week--about IS cents on the hum

again a peg Or two.

Mr. Kelly, L. S. Revenue Assessor

tain parties engaged in buying stock
and dealing in farm produce without
license; says the Oskaloosa Herald.
Senator Mcmillan started last Tues
day for visit to Indiana, partly on
visit. DO not know how long ne will

Messrs. Gibson {. CANDLES Saw
mill, known as the Phelps Mill, on
North Cedar, was damaged by the
food last week, to what amount we
have not yet learned. 1t is supposed
that at least $50 worth of lumber there
has been washed away.

moved to the building just north of
the northwest corner of the Square.

THE CRops. -since the late rains
we have conyersed with quite num-
her Of farmers, about the crops, &c.;
but opinions are 80 various that it Is
hard 10 arrive ut any definite conclu-
zion. The wheat has certainly been
damaged by blight and the late heavy
rains; but II clear weather should con-
time now probably from half to two
thirds Of crop can be gathered from
most Of the wheat land In the County.
And 1t will be remembered that there
IL much more land In wheat this year
fhan1cyer before. Both wheat and
oats arc badly down; and the ground
r. very wet; but reaping machines
were at work In some fields last Mon
day; and where they can't be used,
cradles and sickles will do duty in
stead. As to corn, one can hardly
fora a correct opinion. Some fields.
at least, are rigbting upafter the rains,
and bid fair TO do we'll; but many fields
ars seriously injured.

4 VIEW or TIE FIGrREs.-Thero
are in this County 3Gs040 acres Of land,
which. If divided according 10 the
Agrarian plan, would give US between
Is aud Is acres apiece. it is scarcely
necessary to add that personally we
have not yet got our share. Lest any
person should imagine that we are
"getting too close" in the County, "too
much crowded. &c, let us remark
that according TO the last Census there
yet remain in the County 2OiS30 acres
not fenced, and 23S736 acres not under
cultivation. That is to say, not a
great deal more than ope~third Of our
land has been plowcd; but out OF the
remaining two-thirds must Of course
be deducted the acres of timber, river,
creeks and other untillable land, the
amount Of which we have no means Of
ascertaining. #tt.E
There are in the County $40 square
miles Of territory; so that we have a
population Of less than Al to the square
mile. If our population were as dense
ms that of Great Britain we should
number i43, 424-or over six times as
many ~ now. We have still room to
grow.
Upon figuring up the yields Of
crops in tho County last year, we find
that the average yield Of Spring wheat
was q little over l8l bushels to the
acre, of Winter wheat nearly l3bushels
per acre, OF corn n little over 40l bush
els to the acre, Of oats nearly 20 bush
els to the acre, of tame hay not quite
II tons to the acre, and Of sorghum
nearly 12S gallons per acre. And each
bearing grapevine yielded an average
of not quite Al pounds of grapes.
AZ to our house-room accommoda-
tons, il will be seen that we only lack
CA houses Of having one for every fam
lily. Knoxville Township has more
families than houses, Lake Prairie 20,
Liberty g, Pleasant Grove 4, Washing
ton 5, and Pella City 25 more families
than houses. But Notwithstanding
the high rents, scarcity Of rooms, &C.,
It will be noticed that the city of
Knoxville has managed to provide q
house for every family.
Upon the average, there are nearly
81 persons, and not quite ninc-tenths
of a dog, to every family in the Coun-
ty. 1t Is supposed that the fractional!
dogis In Knoxville Township having
been SO reported in former assess
mcut.
II further appears that 72l mntelcss,
lmatchless males i'm the County deplore
their hapless fate, and wait with open
arms for 721 females to come and bless
them. And where shall they be
found?
The total vote of the County last
November was 4457, which is $40 less
than the number of votes to which the
Census shows us entitled.

western part of this County and the
vicinity OF Hartford in Warren Coun-
ty, reports great activity in the harvest

looked better for the sunshine, and

lives. he discovered that it threatened
his farm; 80 he went out with las spade
and commenced digging ditch on
the upstream side Of his lard The
more the water rose, the more he dug;
aud there's no knowing how long he
might have kept at IL: bat his neigh

there, waist deep in the water and
