Cotton Crop.
Reports Of the condition of the cotton crop
to the Department of Agriculture to July LIST
indicate as follows: Owing to causes reported In
June the crop is generally two to four weeks
late. Throughout the cotton States the wealth.
er was unprecedented for period varying from
% to 35 days, ending about the 18th of June
The area of cotton planted was sufficient to
tax available labor to the utmost under favora-
BILE circumstances, consequently the excessively
wet weather preventing work and stimulating
the growth of grass and weeds has not only
caused poor stands and grass, and otherwise I'M
favorable condition quite generally, but has ne
cessitated the abandonment of large portions of
the area planted, probably enough to bring the
arearage down to what it was last year. The
reports with rare exceptions are Respondent in
tone, and picture a somewhat gloomy prospect
Doubtless tle majority fall in with the common
tendency to exaggerate the bad effects upon the
crops of the unfavorable weather prevailing at
present, and to undervalue the chances of re-
cuperation from those effects. The reports
show generally that the favorable weather in
the last days of June was having the effect to
change the condition somewhat rapidly for the
better. Cotton worms, caterpillars and lice had
made their appearance in small numbers at sey-
eral points, but as yet have not occasioned much
apprehension of serious damage.
Survey.
The survey for the continuation of the Ches-
apeake & Ohio Canal, authorized by Congress
last winter, will be commenced about the first

Scull Race Between Biglin and Ward.
she Latter Fails.

Sculi HSace Between Blglln and Ward
she Latter Fails.
SPRINGFIELD, July 15-The five mile single
scull race between John Biglin and Ellis Ward
for $500 side came off this afternoon on the
Connecticut river below this city. At the start
Ward took the lead pulling 40 strokes to the
minute, Bigln pulling 80, and evidently rowing
well within himself, while Ward was putting
forth all his strength, The latter speedily
gained two lengths and took Biglin's water.
In this position they passed the Dartmouth
quarters, half mile down the course, and
kept Oh until nearly opposite the two mi,e flag
when Ward suddenly fell forward in the boat,
drapped his oars and was unable to proceed.
He was taken from the boat and carried to
the Amherst quarters where he soon revived
sufficiently to explain that he was seized with
vertigo. DIR. Dorman of Thompsonville, now
engaged to attend him. gave it as his opinion
that the vertigo was caused by slight con-
gestion of lungs brought ON by over exertion
while suffering from cold. Early this
evening Ward was quite comfortable though
still weak.
The house and barn of E. s. Monson at
Whately, including 40 tons hay, 5 cows, hogs

tramp.

change street, between Middle and Fore streets
with wood. Certainly no street needs it more,
on account of the occupancy of the stores and
offices: for noiser street cannot be found than
this part of Exchange street, AT times it is
impossible to be heard across on Office or store
the noise and rattle of the teams and carriages
over the paving stones being so great, For a
street occupied as this one is, by banks, insur-
ance and other offices and stores, it certainly
would be very desirable thing, and we hope
it may be done while the other part
of the street is being fixed, and there
