Crop Prospects.

From our numerous country friends who
were in the city yesterday we learn that the
prospect mover was better at this season of the
year for a bountiful crop of wheat They also
report satisfactory progress with the corn crop,
notwithstanding the wet weather There is yet
a prospect for a tolerable yield of fruit and but
little doubt but there will be plenty for home
consumption. Apples have not been damaged
any by frost that we have heard of, and this
fruit will be plentiful and cheap.

The Court met pursuant 10 adjournment. JUS
tice james NJ Carter suggested that in view OF
the proceedings that the earliest solution of this
question would be for the parties in interest to
consent that the election as to County Trustee
be declared void, and that the contestants go be-
fore the people. Col. Thornburgh on behalf of
Mr. Mynatt, said that there We're so many ire
gularities in the returns that days might be
spent in the investigation of the case, without
arriving at just conclusion, and that rightand
justice could be best subseryed by the course
suggested, and that such proposition would be
accepted by the complainant. Mr.. Mynatt en-
dorsed what his counsel had said, believing il
for the best
Capt Boyd, in a few graceful remarks, give
his assent to such proposition, stating he did
not wish to hold an Office unless by the will of
majority of his fellow-citzens. His counsel
Mr. Cooke, also yielded his assent
The proposition was then made by the Court
the partie; agreeing thereto and unanimously
adopted. The Court then fixed the time for
holding the election ON Saturday, May l4th

interest has been Unexpectedly, and, as we be-
lieve, iudiciously disposed OF
