FENCE ADvRRTIsING.-The House
of Representatives of Illinois has
passed a bill making the painting of
advertisements on fences, gates and
barns, nuisance, and providing
proper punishment for 40 doing.
There is manifest justice and proprl-
ETY. in such law, for it is an outrage
to the whole community to allow ev

vertise his business upon the private
property OF other people. One would
suppose, TO travel through the coun-
try, th t one.half the farms were

The following sad event is chron-
icled By the Anamosa Eureka: A
little daughter of Mr.. Hugh Kennedy,
aged twenty months, was fatally poi
soned last Tuesday by morphine.
The morphine was in an ounce bot
tie mixed with honey, and by some
means the child got q hold Of it,
drawing ont the cork and sucking up
some of the liquid. When discov-
cred the child had apparently spilled
on her lap the greater part of the
small quantity poured from the bot
tie, and the parents concluded that
little or none had been taken by her.
AT eleven in the forenoon the child
went to sleep as usual, but after some
time the mother noticed that the lit
tie ones lips twitched nervously, and
on attempting to awaken her, it was
found that the drug was doing its
fearful work. A physician was at
once sent for, but he arrived too
late, and at six O'Clock 10 the even
ing the light and life Of that house
went out.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The Report of the Department of
Agriculture for May and June says
of wheat: "The returns for June
have been carefully examined, per-
centsges of area and condition have
been tabulated, and average cslcula.
ted with reference to the compare
tive wheat area of each county.
This compound method-and only
true one of obtaining State average
involves an immense amount of
labor, which cannot be done in .
day; yet the result is a reliable and
satisfactory expression of the de-
liberate views of the county stats
teal boards, and may be received as
the only complete and approximate
ly accurate view of the wheat pros
poets of the country in the first week
Of June, 1872.
The tabular statement of the gen.
eral character of the returns from
nine hundred and three counties, in.
Guiding large proportion of the
wheat area of the country, shows
that 4S per cent. are unfavorsble, %
present an average condition, and
80 per cent. are above average. In
that statement Iowa so counties
reported, liz which 9 are average, and
81 above average, 4 below average.
Fory-ninecounties in Iowa make re-
turns of spring wheat, and eighteen
of winter. The area ofthe former is
log; ofthe latter 1O2; but there are 80
acres of spring wheat to one of win
ter. The condition of winter is av-
eraged at 80; of spring Ill. Only
three returns (trom Appsnoose, Hen.
ry, and CarrolD place spring wheat
below average; eight return aver
age; and thirty-eight above average.
Eleven counties, which produced
ten million bushels in 800, averaged
an increased area of per cent. and
are placed at IL per cent. above av-
erage condition. The following
shows the condition in different To-
calities: Cedar: Growing finely.
Shelby: Stand excellent, but the
rains have made fields OH the river
bottoms quite weedy. Audubon
Prospect good no winter wheat
raised; too liable to winter killing
Guthrie /. frequent light rains have
brought out the crops finely. Buch
a,,an Spring-grain growing SO fast
that it has been pastured to proven,
mildew. Muscatine Winter crop
injured by drought; spring wheat re-
stricted in acreage by wet and BY
fear of chinch-bugs. johnson +:
Winter wheat poorer than for years;
spring. wheat much better. Maas
