DULUTH, MINI Jan l9-fndian scouts who
have arrived here from verm,lion Lake, ninety
miles north of this city report the Indians at that
place in state of actual starvation. Eighty fam
iies, frvnzed and dying with hunger, are on their
way here. The scouts state that up to thei. time
OF leaving the starving wretches they had eaten
six children and one man. The cause of this ter
rhe distress is the failure OF the wild crop and
the fact that there is no grain, besides which the
indians say that they have failed to receive their

The warm weather has about cree
mated the growing crops, &c. Wheat
is Icing harvested, and reports come
from all quarters thatit is the finest
yield which has been for years. We
believe, however, the harvesting ia
about through with. Grass is also be,
ing cut by some. Oats are turning,
and in a few DAYS will be ready for the
reaper and cradle. Corn still locke
badly, but Is we have fair show OF
rain between this and the time OF lts
maturing we may yet have a toieraoly
fair yield. 1t is now, in most cases,
about knee high.
The potato bug has very nearly
closed Ifs ravishes in this section. but
whittier it has gone is as much OF a
mystery as its appearance was a few
months ago. We may look for their
return next spring with an increase OF
millions, at least 80 say persons who
"knOw."
Notwithstanding the large amount
OF bloom and young fruit which irult
trees bore early in the GUNNER, there
will be but a limited supply that Will
come to perfection, the peaches having
been killed by late ircsts, and apples
and other fruits being destroyed by the
continued drouth.
All kinds OF vegetables arc command
ing large price in our market, and a
supply cannot be had at any price.
New potatoes are commanding from
two to four dollars per busheI, green
beans about the same, and smaller
vegetables in proportion. Our dealers
in grain are shipping cora from Clncln,
nat, and retailing the same for SID
per bushel, there not having been
enough raised in the county last
season for it's own consumption.
In fact, there never ls. AS we
heard An old gentleman remark

the richest, if not the very richest,
county in the State, both in mineral
and agricultural wealth, were its re-
sources but developed; but, alas it's
minerals are slumte.ipg beneath it's
native mountains. while its soil is titled
by farmers who are too :ndoleut or
who have not enough enterprise TO
make the improvements whereby a
country is built up and made wealthy.
One OF the graVest causes OF bad tllage
is that most of the land is cultivated
by renters, and as a natural conse-
quence everything is taken off OF the
ground and nothing put on. This has
been the state OF affairs in Kanawha 70
long that the soil is worn out and
