Boy HORSE THIEF LYSCHED.-A ST.
Joseph Mo- dispatch to the st. Louis Rspub.i-
can Of the 22d says: Full particulars of the
hanging OF the boy horse thief, James Ross. in
Holt county, have been received here. On the
9Th inst. he stole fine mare from John Mar
shall, Of Bigelow, Holt county, aud brought her
the thieves detected, and Ross arrested at Bige-
low on last Friday. He Acknowledged his guilt,
and in default of 3 900 bail started to isil
On Saturday night, when some four miles from
BIgelow, on the road to Oregon, the county
seat, he was taken from the hand of the consta-
Bile and hung TO tree. The officer appears to
made little or no resistance. 1t is believe that
the lynchers are mostly men of property living
in BIgelow, who have hitherto borne a respect
able character. James Ross, the murdered man,
was about eighteen years of age. His parents
came from ONO many years ago, and are now
living in Wayne county, Iowa. His fathers
name is John II. Ross, and he owns a handsome
property. James did not wish that his parents
should ever hear of his guilt, and manifested
considerable feeling when speaking of them.
He stated to Squire Long that he had come to
Holt county TO work during the harvest, but
failing to obtain employment had stolen the
mare and taken her to st. Joseph. 1t is believ-
ed that the boy had older accomplices and those
more guilty than himself. Holt county is in
tensely excited over this tragic event, and the
mass of her citizensifeel that they have been
disgraced by half dozen misguided men.

The above are average quotations;
prime wrappers have sold as high rs 800.
and prime colony cutting as high rs $40,
1t can hardly be expected that th"r"
will be any low priced tobacco sold until
the crop of 1875 is marketed.
We can only guess at tn" pr"bahI"
crop of 1874, but would certainly not ad-
Judge the Western crop at less than
about $1,000 hhds. Its quality will be-
mixed, but there will be very fair pro-
portion of most excellent tobacco.
We would remind our friends that
there will be very few strips put mp this
year, and consequently much leaf hIth"r-
To- going direct to Europe, will be sold

The estimate of those best acquainted
with the wine business of the state Is
that the vintag" this year will not fall
short of 1000. 900 Gallons. Last year 1t
Va, somewhere between 3,5oO,Voo and T.
WO.UON. The unreasonable rains tins
yoar. which are not generally looked for
earlier than the middle of November,
will tend to decrease the strength, but
improve the quality of the white wines
and rhampagncS. the chief fault of which,
in the Judgment of connoiSseur', Is that
they are too heavy. The prema
turr rains have caused the grapes

in alcoholic strength, which viii, 1t Is
thought, produce light wines of greater
drcacy and finer flavor than We have
had for several years. But the prospects
ARE less favorable 81 far n red wines are
concerned. There has long existed
among ConnOiSseurS in wines, II notion
that the vintage in "comet years Is Al
