WINTER WHEAT.
Generally Favorable Reports from
All Quarters.

WASHINGTON, D. G, April 2O.-Thc
Department of Agriculture has received
very full information concerning the ap.
pearance Of the wheat throughout the
country. The returns cover aiarge pro-
portion OF the winter.wheat area in each
State. The winter has been extremely
favorable in all sections. No previous
season has been more generally 30 since
the Inauguration of the crop reports. In
the South there are very few exceptions
to the general vigor, and even luxu-
rance OF the growth. In the Gulf
Coast region, the winter pasturing
Of wheat fields has been practiced to tho
advantage Of the crops. In New York
and pennsylvania, the weather since the
middle Of March has been unIavorable,
on account Of the sudden changes
Of temperature and cold winds, to the
injury OF wheat on clay and undrained
lands. In Ontario, Niagara, Livingsto n,
and Genesee, four counties which produce
one.thlrd Of tho winter wheat oil New
York, average expectations are enter.
tanned, though some injury from freezing
and thawing on low ground Is reported.
The promise. Is remarkable in Pennsyl.
vania, nine.tenths OF the counties making
favorable returns, many of them very fat
tcring. Fully threeiourths Of the coun-
ties Of the Ohio Valley report either an
average or superior condition. Beyond
the Mississippi, Missouri and Kansas have
still fewer unpromising representations.
There are reports from the Northwest,
which are more favorable than usual
The prospect IN California is very prom.
lsing, though complaints of injury from
an unusual cause, wet weather, comes
from several counties. The Secretary Of
the State Board Of Agriculture reports q
promise Of 100000 1000 bushels In the State.

eTocKs-Speculation on Stock EH-
change was influenced largely by the
many and conflicting reports from Wash.
ipgton in regard 10 the Presidents action
on the currency bill. The market fluc-
tuated frequently between depression and
tirmness, just as rumor had it the Presi.
dent had signed or vetoed the bill. Just
previous to the close OF business 1t was
officially announced from Washington
that the President had vetoed the bill, and
in the final dealings the market exhibited
considerable strength, in some instances
the prices made being the highest Of the
day. Union Pacific was particularly
strong, advancing to SAT, q rise Of II per
cent. Lake Shore was also firm, and raj.
lied from zoe to 70. Pacific Mail recoy-
cred from 41R TO At, Rock Island from
GOT to 100, and Western Union from 1911
to 7St. Panama rose from 105 to 100, on
small dealings. Erie was weak, spot
price having declined 10 "a, against $751;
at the opening. The final sales were at
BAT. This decline resulted from the con.
tinued decrease in the earnings, and the
resignation Of another officer Of the COM
pany. The sales between 10 and 2 o'clock
amounted TO 100000 shares, OF which 10.

AN Appeal 70 the Citizens Of Westmin-
stsr In Behalf Of the Gas Light Co.

On Tuesday, ad Of March, tho annual
election for President and Directors Of the
Westminster Gas Light Company took
place, as had been duly advertised In both
Of our papers for month past The fol-
lowing was the resnlt;-Mr John l.. Reif-
snider was elected President, and Messrs.
Joshua Yingling, Edward Lynch, Charles
B. Roberts, c, Hart Smith, George G.
Hicks aud Charles 4. Savage, Directors
The report Of the Secretary and Treasurer
was exhibited, showing heavy indebted
ness aud light receipts. Various methods
of endeavoring 70 obtain relief were dis
cussed, nearly the whole day being oceu-
pied In earnest investigation The ALSO
lutte need Of more money was u subject Of
much comment, and great solicitude was
felt to devise ways aud means to prevent
the stoppagc Of the works, The Baltimore
delegation was prepared to increase their
subscription to the Capital Stock ifa cor.
responding increase could be obtained from
our own citizens, some Of whom have said
they would rather pay more than be de-
privcd Of the light but with the stock
selling at public sale at 22 per cent on the
81, there was not much prospect Of sub
scription among our own citizens. And
just here let me say that the objection
which has been urged that the Company
is owned by foreign capitalists, is not !
valid one, There are but II Baltimore
Shareholders, owning s6,Il0 worth Of
stock, and two New Workers. owning 81.
400 worth, while there are 81 stockhold
ers, all of whom live in our city or county
except one in West Virginia, who own,
$500 worth, and about So 900 worth ot
stock issued so that it is essentially ,
home enterprise and no foreign monopoly
1t lights our Halls and Churches, except
the Lutheran and our streets until 10 Oh
II clock, aud it would be a suicidal pol
icy surely to let an enterprise upon which
including wages, &c, over $4,000 ha'
been expended, die out entirely. Such al
event must take place unless the citizen,
win rally to its support, We must have
more consumers, or we cannot live Al
experienced and practical gas filter is il
our midst, who win work cheap, and the
company will second his efforts by every
means in their power-eyen if it is at i

of the company may be continued to tn,

The End of the Tichborne Trial.


This celebrated trial, which has been
before the public in one form or another
for nearly three years, has at last been
concluded by the conviction ofthe claimant
of perjury and his sentence to fourteen
years penal servitude. Roger Tichbornc
sailed for New York from Rio de Janeiro
on the ship Bella, which was lost at sea.
His mother advertised for her son for sew
eral years, and finally she heard that he
was living in Australia, having been picked
up at sea when the Bella foundered. The
claimant, who has just been convicted Of
perjury, arrived in England in 1866, and
was recognized by Lady Tichborne as her
son. She died, however, before he insti-
tuted suit for possession of the title and
estates, and all the other members of the
family denied the identity of the claimant.
The suit for the title and estate commeuc.
ed on May 10, 1871, and was continued
with little interruption excepting one ad-
journment for four months until March
4th, 1872. The speech of the Attorney
General occupied Eve weeks in its deliv-
cry, and after Lord BELOW had testified to
the effect that he had tattooed the real
Sir Roger when at school, and that the
claimant had no such marks on his person
the jury announced that they had heard
enough testimony. Two days afterwards
the claimants case was Withdrawn from
the court, and the claimant was then ar.
rested for perjury. This trial commenced
April 22d, 1873, aud was concluded on
January 2sth, 1874, when Lord Chief
Justice Cockburn commenced his charge
to the jury, which was as interminable as
the speeches Of counsel. The two trials
of the case cost the British Government
not less than s2,500,000, but in England
there is strong love for justice that makes
the cost or trouble of getting it matter Of
minor consideration.
