headed, well filled and thick upon
the ground The berry is large,
plump and bright.
All along the line Of the road,
from Springfield to East st. Louis,
it is noticeable that the crops are
exuberent. The fields Of barley
are now ripe for the sickle, and the
yield will be abundant The broad
acres of corn now being worked
over, give promise Of abundance.
Rain enough has fallen within the
past few days to insure it against
all danger. Potatoes never pre-
sented q finer appearance, and we
judge the crop this season will be
immense. The clover fields are
turning out largely, while other
grasses, we are told, are not so
good. Tie oat crop, as a general
thing, does not promise well. The
continued dry weather in the early
part Of the season has cut it short,
and it is now too far advanced to
receive very material benefit from
the present rains,

Tho Eaton Register talks so
senaibly about the ticket nominated
in this State by the State Temper
ance Convention, that we must place
its opinion on the subject Of this
separate Temperance ticket before
the readers Of The HERALD. The
Register says Of the ticket;
"We Judge this ticket will not get
Ten Democratic votes in the State.
The Democracy does not vote that
way. Hence every vote cast for
these men who are perhaps not a
whit more ardent temperance men
than the Republican nominees will
be, is only y vote to install Demo

The Crop Reports.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
KANsAs.--The wheat crop is now
being harvested. Corn looks splen.
didly, and Kansas is literally alive
with grapes and peaches.
The Wathena Reporter says that
the wheat in that region is heading
out. The straw is much shorter
than usual there will be, however,
an average, crop of wheat.
Missouri. = The indications for
corn and wheat are unusually flat
tering.
IowA.--The crcp reports for the
week ending in the middle of June
are good. Corn was never SO good
in Iowa. 1t is unusually far adj
yanced, unusually healthy, and
exceedingly clean 1t is SO forward
that its escape from the early frosts
Of fall is assured beyond 4 donbt,
unless some unforeseen and i'm
probable misfortune should fall up
on it. Wheat and oats are not so
hattering in prospect.
In the South the grain had adj
yOnced so far as to be nearly at the
process of heading, when the tardy
showers ofsalyation came, and con
sequently advanced beyond their
saving reach.
The North will have a prolific
crop, with the promise Of more
than average quality, And tho wet,
cool weather which has been the
order for a fortnight, and still con.
tinues, may yet help Southern Iowa
wheat to such an extent that it may
partially redeem itself
The smaller crops of garden and
field are in fine condition.
MINNESOTA The crops through
out Wenona county never looked
more forward at this season Of the
year than at present, and there
are good indications, should no TN
rorseen calamity come upon s,that
we will b. blessed with an abund-
ant harvest.
WlscoNsIN-Crops in Wiscon-
sin for a few weeks past have been
suffering in many parts for want of
rain. The papers from that State
now say, however, that they have.
recently had abundant showers,and
everything except grass, late spring
wheat and oats, look we'll Corn
aud winter wheat promise an abund-
ant crop.
MlomGAN.-- Crops, with the eX.
ception of wheat, are looking fine,
and an early and bounteous harvest
is in prospect The prospect of q
heavy yield Of fruit in the country isl
not altogether encouraging, There
will he an abundance of apples, but
a scarcity of plums, cherries and
strawberries,
The Delhi wheatis filing its her
nv finely, and is now out of reach
Of the weeyil. The berry is large,
plump and beginning to harden. -
There will not be as much wheat
as usual, but it now promises TO be
Of excellent quality, The recent
rains have done wonders on all
kinds of crops. The hay crop will
be fair.
INDIANA,-The Terre Haute jour
nal says The prospect for crops,
especially for the wheat crop, has
improved fifty per cent, since the
recent rains. This is the judgment
Of gentlemen who have recently
travelled over portions ofthe south
ern part Of the State, la view of
the general impression of q failure
of the wheat crops, which have

- An odd case occurred in the
U. S. District Court in Philadel-
phia The Court had been trying
one Sherman for selling counterfeit
beer stamps. One ofthe witnesses,
Witeman a Government, detective,
testified with great glee that he
palmed off upon George Mountjoy
a bundle OF blank paper which the
receiver supposed to be spurious
currency for which Witcman was
paid $4,000 in good money He
informed the Court that this was
what's known among the detectives
as the "Boodle game" Cadwallader
was not SO much entertained by
these disclosures as the deponent
expected that he would be. On the
contrary his judicial wrath was so
much excited that he held the
shrewd and funny detective to bail
in the sum of $4,000 to take his
trial for swindling, and not being
able to furnish bonds, the humor-
GUS detective was locked up. We
trust that this decisive action of the
Court may diminish the number Of
"set-up-jobs," at lea, t in PhiIadel-
Dhia.
