Report on Winter Wheat.-The fol-
lowing is summary of the condition Of win
ter wheat Just issued from the Agricultural
Department.
In the middle States, especially New Jersey
and Pennsylvania the wheat looks better than
it did last spring, but in the States sonth Of
Maryland il does not look so we'll
Michigan wheat presents green and Vigor-
ols growth, and Ohio makes far more favor
able return than last year.
In indiana and Illinois the Whest is consid-
erably winter killed. The dry autumn kept
back the plants and left them too weak to en-
dure the severe winter.
In Missouri and Kansas the reports are
more favorable than they were last year.
In California there is prospect of another
year of great abundance.
As whole, the wheat prospects at the close
of winter, was better than at the same date
last year. In this vicinity, wheat looks much
better Than was expected month ago, except
in low grounds where it was winter killed, and
injured by wet weather. Many fields are in
fine eandition.

Died.-On Monday morning last, at the
residence Of his daughter, in Washington
Township, Mr.. JOHN GARN, aged sc years.
He was a native of Bsdiorll Co., Pennsylvania,
and moved to Ohio some q years ago, set
Ting in the Black Swamp where he has since
resided. BE was an industrious farmer, and
by dint of toll and strict economy accumulat-
ed considerable property. He possessed q
strong constitution and his powers of endur-
ancs were remarkable. He made two or three
journeys to Pennsylvania and back, on foot
and alone, in the early days, accomplishing the
journey at the rate of 40 miles day. For the
last % years he has not farmed, but was al
ways busy at some kind of work, and scorned
the idea Of being idle. He did not believe in
taking medicine, and almost to the last reius-
ed all medical assistance.

A farmer in indianapolis says he has moi
had poor crop Of wheat in So years. He ma
nures heavily, plows deep, the last Of May;
harrcws three or four times during summer,
pastures with sheep, keeps down weeds, and
stirs the ground well three weeks before
sowing, then harrows and rolls, and finally
drills in his wheat IA bu. to the acre. He
averages about 40 bu. to the acre.
Oakes Ames made q will while in Washing
ton last winter, which has been presented for
probate by his two sons. Samuel Ordway,
Moses Dillon and Philetus Sawyer are wit
ncsses to the instrument, and their presence
is required to carry ont the provisions of the
registry. No details would be given until the
will is probated. The amount devised is
large, but the property is SO invested that its
value cannot be at present known.
The wife Of Mr.. McHugo, living one mile
from Hartford, Wis, lately fell into cistern.
The husband dropped her rope which she
fastened under her arms, but when trying to
draw her out the curbing and planks gave
way, and he also fell into the cistern, The
water was only three or four feet deep, but
they could not get out, nor make their cries
heard, and both persisted togeter, leaving an
only child, who was away at school.
A Washington special says tks President
recently expressed regret that the appoint
ment OF Chief Justice should devolve on
him, and that he would willingly shrink from
The responsibility if he could. He further
said he would appoint man independent of |
political consideration, and one whom the |
lawyers of the country would endorse. In
he meantims, he hoped his friends and the |
prominent men in the country would give
lim their views upon the subject.
The funeral of Chief Justice Chase took
,lace at Washington on the 18th inst. There
we're about so carriages in the procession,
Mostly private Thousands of persons were
N the streets as spectators. The President
nd Secretary Fish occupied the first carriage,
Ollowed by Mrs. Grant and Senator ConkEn,
Robson and the Attorney General,

to Chamber which was hung in black. The
oorways and galleries back of the Vice Pres

D the entrances to the chamber. The CALLER
IS were densely crowded with spectators, at

The Boessl Railroad Law Declared
Unconstitutional.

COLUMBUS, May u.
In the Supreme Court to-day two cases,
which involve the constitutionalitI Of the
Boesel railroad law, were decided, the full
bench coneurring in pronouncing the law un-
constitutional. Chief Justice White held as
follows
First-Taxation can only be authorized for
public purposes; where, therefore, a statute
authorizes county, township or municipality
70 levy taxes not above given per cent on
the taxable property of the locality for the
purpose OF building 30 much of Railroad as
can be built for that amount, and the part Of
railroad so to be built can be of no public
ntliity unless used to accomplish an unconsti-
tutonal purpose, such tax is allegal and can
not be imposed
Seeond-Section 6, Art. 8, of the Constitu-
tlon declares that the General Assembly shall
never authorize any county, city, town OF
toWnshlp, by vote of its citizens or otherwise,
20 become stockholder in any joint stock
company corporation or association whatever,
OF TO raise money for or loan its credit to or in
ald OF any such company, corporation or asso-
elatlon: What the General Assembly is thus
prohibited from doing directly it has no power
70 do indirectly. When public credit OF mon
ey Is furnished by any of the subdivisions Of
the state named, to be used in part for the
construction OF work which, under the stat
completed, II completed at all, by other par
ues out oil their own means, who are TO own
OF have the beneficial control and manage
ment OF the work when completed, the public
money or credit thus ussd can only be regard
ed as furnished for or in aid Of such parties.
Ihird-The act of April %, 1872, to author
ize counties, townships and municipalities
therein named to build Railroads, ETC., (69, L.,
Sa) authorizes the raising of money by taxa.
non, which is equally applicable to the unlaw-
ful purpose of aiding Railroad Companies,
and others engaged in building and operating
Railroads, as it is to any lawful purpose, and
gives to the officers intrusted the control and
application Of money thus raised, no means or
power Of discrimination as to the laWfulness
or unlawfulness of the work or purpose to
which 1t Is to be applied, and is thus in contro-
Ventlon OF Sec. s, Art. s of the Constitution,
and is therefore void.
The decision IN the Supreme Court that the
Boesel law is unconstitutional, excites much
interest in this city. Mr.. Ferguson, the au-
thor OF the Ferguson Railroad bill, says that
the action of the Supreme Court on the Boe-
sci law, not only does not affect its decision on
the Ferguson bill, but re-affirms its decision
by pronouncing the latter bill constitutional

ton as to what we are and what we shall soon
become. With view to business, we are
having daily railroad meetings at which depot
and switch prospects are both officially and
unoEcially discussed. With all OF our
backs and drawbacks, there has been about
sixty-fve lots sold, and building is quite four
ishing. We boast of one wagon shop, one
blacksmith shop, one store, fine warehouse,
two good churches, two new store buildings
going up, and quite large number of dwell
ling houses completed or under way. We're it
possible to combine our business men or
any one public or business enterprise, our fu-
ture would be bright, as it is, we lay low and
