BRUTAL ASSAULT. William Savage,
formerly of Montpelier where his pa
rents reside, but now brakeman on the
Cheshire railroad, made brutal assault
on Sunday evening of last week upon
Mr.. L. NJ. Read of Bellows Falls The
attack was entirely without proyocation
and Mr. Reads injuries are quite severe.
Savage was at the time under the inf1u-
ence of liquor, and has the reputation of
being an ugly customer at such times.
On Tuesday Savage was brought before
Justice Bridgman, and held to bail in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
County Court, and $1,000 more to keep
the peace for one year.

THE STRIKE.
Evidences Of Quiet among the Work.
ingmen-The Majority OF Leading
Branches Of Trade Re-
suming Work.

NEW YORK, June 24.-The strike OF
the piano-makers is ended, all the men
having resumed work at ten hours
those employed by Weber and Steinway
alone getting an advance in wages OF
ten per cent. ,-...-.
The cabinet-makers continue their
meetings and still predict success for their
strike in few days. They have re-
ceived word from New Haven that the
cabinet-makers and various other trades
of that city had formed an eight-hour
league, which will contribute money for
/ the support of the strikers here. When
the movement is successful here, the
men will strike, and receive aid in turn.
A large number of metal-workersh held
a meeting to-day, and listened to letters
from Buffalo, Susquehanna, and differ
ent points along the line of the Erie rail-
road, also Boston and other cities, all of
which gave encouraging accounts.
The working men are said TO be max
ing preparations in those places TO COM
mence q strike, and the Singer Sewing
Machine men to-day unanimously re-
solved to hold out Indefinitely. They
are connected with the Metal Workers
Union, and assert that they are abund-
antly supplied with funds. The wire
manufacturers have resolved TO dis
charge those of their workmen who do
not resume work to-day on the ten hour
system.
The Employers Central Executive
Committee held a meeting this morn
ing, and it was voted to maintain the
present attitude of the committee and
establish an organization amODgjOurney-
men to counteract the influence of trades
unions.
Only few of the officers of the Eight
Hour League represented that organiza-
ton at Teutonia Hall to-day, but those
present spoke confidently of the success
of the eight-hour movement.
The strike of the blacksmiths and
wheelwrights is over for the present,
without obtaining either eight hours or
an increase Of wages.

The Question OF Redistricting the State
Settled by the Action Of Called
Session Of the Legislative.

ST. LOUIS, June 24.-The deadlock
which has existed between the two
House Of the legislature some days past
on the question of redistricting the
State was broken to-day by the House
passing concurrent resolution relating
that as grave doubts exist il both Houses
about the power of the Governor to di-
vide the State into electoral districts,
both Houses adjourn sine die at twelve
o'clock, and request the Governor to re-
convene the General Assembly for the
purpose of re-districting the State. The
Senate struck the preamble from this
resolution and passed it. The House
agreed to the amendment, and the Leg
islature adjourned at noon.
Governor Brown Immediately issued
proclamation re-conFening the Gen
eral Assembly at two o'clock for the
purpose of dividing the State into con-
gressionai districts. U
The Senate, on meeting, took up and
again passed the bill adopted last Satur-
day dividing the State into thirteen con-
gressional districts, and the House earn
estly discussed it most of the afternoon.
The bill gives st. Louis county three

Corn is late, but the finest prospects

lands are now worth from ten to twen-
ty-five dollars per acre in gold. We

WHEAT.
Some Facts from the Official Report for
the Month Of JuHe-An Interest
ing Document.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The June re-
port of the statistician Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, now in press, is
exhaustive in its treatment of wheat
statistics. 1t is based ON reports from
counties, of which 199 indicate an aver
age condition, go counties higher than
the average, and 434 a low condition,
ranging from 100, the standard of me-
dunn prospect, down to 10, and in few
cases down TO entire failure. The State
averages are calculated not simply from
the number Of counties reported, but
from the comparative production Of the
several counties.
The reports include very large pro-
portion Of the wheat area Of the cOun-
try. The summary returns of area
shows a reduction of two per cent. from
that of 1871. The acreage of spring
wheat in the States which grow that va
riety mainly is represented as follows:
Maine, los; New Hampshire, 100; Yer
mont, l02; Massachusetts, 50; Wiscol-
sin, 1875; Minnesota, I0l; Iowa, los;
Nebraska, ll3; Oregon, l07; California,
where the distinctions of spring and
winds is scarcely known, reports
spring, l20, and winter, l30; Illi-
nOis, where winter wheat constitutes
two-thirds Of crop, gives l0l for winter
and 2I5 for spring. In Kansas, where
spring wheat predsminates, the returns
give l40 for spring and 81 for winter.
The States growing winter wheat are
Connecticut, 95; New York, So; New
Jersey, 9S; Pennsylvania, 80; Delaware,
So; Maryland, $50; Virginia, IS; North
Carolina, l0I; South Carolina, SO; Geor-
gia, IS; Alabama, los; Mississippi, IS;
Texas, IFS; Arkansas, 80; Tennessee,
l03 West Virginia, 100; Kentucky, 92;
Ohio, IS; Michigan, go; Indiana, 81; +;
Illinois, 10l; Missouri, 80.
The condition of the predominant va
riety in each State is thus stated: Maine
l0l; New Hampshire, 80; Vermont,
lO6; Massachusetts, 80; Connecticut,
IS; New York, IS; New Jersey, 20;
Pennsylvania, 20; Delaware, 40; Mary
land, "A; Virginia, IS; North Carolina,
l0l South Carolina, 81; Georgia, los;
Alabama, 10; Mississippi, lO4; Texas,
III; Kansas, 10; Tennessee, 107; West
Virginia, S5; Kentucky, los; Ohio, IS;
Michigan, 75; Indiana, IS; Illinois, 50;
Wisconsin. IO9; Minnesota, 106;
Iowa, III; Missouri, IS; Kansas
los; California, 80; Oregon, IS.
The general average of condition for
the entire crop is "a. The Department
estimate for the crop of 1871 was 2S0,-
100000 bushels, at II bushels per acre,
considering u bushels an average yield.
The area and condition Of the pres
ent crop in the first week in June
pointed % a product of two hundred and
twenty millions bushels in 1872. The
crop Of 1863, which was about sixteen
per cent. above an average, and the
largest recorded In ten years, was two
hundred and eighty seven million BUSH
els, as returned bY the census.
