"A letter from Washington brings
tho following information, which will
be interesting and gratifying to the
people on our western frontier: 'tGen.
Averill has succeeded beyond his ex.
pectations in getting post routes estab.
lished, in advance Of the regular season
Of advertising, on the various lines
which have been pressing tor more
mail service. He has obtained service
twice week to Centerville, via Little
Canada three times a week from Beo
sou to Glonwood; aud also had service
put on in advance from Fergus Falls to
Oak Lake. But tho most important
thing he has accomplished in this line
Is that he has succeeded in getting ser.
vive and route agents on tho Northern
Pacific Railroad, where they have been
urgently needed. The machinery,
am told, will be put in molten right

NEW EHalAsD,s GRAIN PRODUCT.

Of the six States east of the Hudson,
Vermont comes nearest to raising its
own bread, producing 454, 900 bushels
OF wheat in 1869, or about . bushel
and = peck to each inhabitant. Taking
the army ration of % ounces of -four
per day a' basis for computing the con.
sumption Of bread, it follows that Yer
mont raises bread enough to supply the
people Of the State 81 days, and that
to make up the deficiency they ,re
obliged to purchase 1886, 600 bushels
per ,annum. Maine makes the next best
showing in the cultivation of wheat,
producing ia 1869 278,000 bushels,
suf'ient 70 last eleven days, and par-
chasing $500, 900 bushels. New Hamp-
shire, with = decreasing population,
was a triae behind Maine, producing
$4,000 bushels little more than
half oushel to each inhabitant-and
purchasing 100000 bushels, or ten
days supply. Connecticut makes .
much poorer showing than New hamp-
shire, producing $4,000 bushels
enough to supply the people
pie with bread fourteen d,ys-and pur-
chasing ISIS, ,999 bushels. Massachu-
sets, though having. larger are. than
Connecticut, raised only $4,000 bush
els, which, ground to powder, was suf.
fclent to give the inhabitants of tho
State bread enough for breakfast and
dinner, but not enough for supper
The people of this commonwealth pur-
chase 100000 bushels of wheat.
Rhode Island raised 984 bus hels of
wheat in 1869, and purchases about
100000 bushels per annum. The

MORE TRAPEZE FOLLY.

From the San Frdncisco Chronicle.
The complimentary benefit to ". s.
Lawton at Platt's Hall last evening was
q perfect success financially and artisti-
cally. The benefit was teuderded by
the members of the San francisco
Olympic club, of which Mr.. Lawton is
Manager, and the performance was
principally by members of the Club.
The programme was well carried out,
AID nothing occurred to mar tho pleas.
ure of the occasion until the second per-
Torrance after the intermission. G. T.
Star and A. G. Curtis were announced
to give performance on the "aerial
bars" and 1t was during this that Mr..
Curtis had = terrible fall. The act Is
performed from q par.lslogram sus-
pended near the ceiling, At one end of
which is hung small trapeze while At
the other is pair of riggs. Star
was cliIgiDg to the bar of the trspeze
with one knee, and had caught tho
rings in bis hands, 10 that he hung
with his body extended across the
space below the parallelogram. Curtis
stood on the parellelogram above, and,
to perform the act, be was to drop down,
catch Stairs hands as Starr relinquished
his hold of the ring, and then both were
to swing from the bar. The preparation
for this act was inteutly watched by
the audience and, As the feat is one
of the most dangerous, much Interest
was felt in its execution. Finally all
was ready. There was = dead still.
ness in the hall, and every eye was
bent on the performers. Suddenly
Starr let 90 the rings, Curtis dropped
like shot, and their hands met, but
in an instant they separated, and
Curtis shot downward to the floor. As
he fell, Charles Bennet, California's
Hercules, was below, and springing
forward, caught him as he touched the
floor beyond the mattress, and saved
him from what might have been his
death. As Curtis fell, the bar to which
Starr was clinging snapped, but did not
brdak entirely, and in an instant after
Starr wss released from his position.
The excitement of the audience dur
ing this scene was intense, aud a its
happy termination their pent up teel-
iugs found relief in . thunder Of ap-
plause. The two performers bowed
themselves out, and the performance
was soon after resumed. We under.
stand that as the two young men
clssped hands they heard the bar
above snap, at which they were so dis
con certed that their grasp weakened
and Curtis fell, IS above described.
Had they not separated, their united
weight would have broken the bar
and precipitaied both to lhe floor with
serious results.
