Crops OF West Virginia.

We learn from the Agricultural
Report for October, the following
particulars of the various crops in
West Virginia;
WHARF.-The crop was better in
both quantity and quality than last
year. There was nearly one,ft.h more
raised this year than last.
RYE This crop was about the
same as last year, but there was a
slight Improvement in quantity
OArs.-Thcre was a great falling
of in the cat crop, there not being
two-thirds as many raised this year as
last.
BUCXwHEAT.-The prospect Is near
" the same as last year; very slight
decrease.
CoRS.-The corn crop Is about )
per cent less than last year.
PorAToLs. Only about two-thirds
as good crop this year as there was
last.
SWEET PorAToEs.-About ten per
cent less in amount this year than
last.
TOBACCO. About three-fourths as
much made as there was last year.
BEANS, PEAS AND SoRGHUM.-The
crops Of these all tall of little from
last year. but there is not great deal
of difference.
CATu.E.-There are nearly rs many
fat cattle raised this year as last. -
The difference is very Slight, and Is
no doubt caused by the shortness of
pastures during the summer drought.

Tho BIG Sandy Hammer.

WE learn from the last number of
the Big Sandy Banner, that Col.
Pike has sold the entire establishment
to Hon. VIM. s. Lewis, OF Vance
burg, Ky, who took charge last
week. The Banner will be continued
at the same office, but will not be
issued this week, on account OF chang
es &c.
In retiring from editorial life. Col.
Pike bears yith hum an unsullied re-
cord as a Democrat, and il must be
gratifying to him that the principles
for which he has been so earnestly
working, have at length triumPhed.
He has our respect and best wishes !;
we hope the repose he so much needs
will restore him to his usual ROBUST
health, and that he may live to see
several Democratic Presidents elect
ed, who shall acknowledge in some
substantial manner the service ne mas
rendered the party.

THE ELECTION.
A Revolution.

TIE results of the election are so
surprising, that we propose to pub
lish condensed account of the result
in every State that held their election
last week. We are free to confess
that we were surprised. We did ex-
pect that there would be sufficient
change to indicate a rebuke to Radi-
calism, and We had faint hope that
there might be a slight Democratic
majority in the next House of Repre-
sentatives, but we were not prepared
for he thorough sweep that was made
by the Democratic ticket, carrying
hy large majorities the most Radical
States in the Union, and defeating
men who were the special fayorites OF
the Administration and who were
aided by all the power that that Adj
ministration could exercise in their
behalf.
In summing up, we must be brief
as there are % States to report on,
bu. we aim to give an understand
able account of the whole election.
We will take the States alphabet
cally.

One of the most remarkable cir
cumstances of the late Democratic
victories in Massachusetts. for it is
really a Democratic triumph, is
Banks election over Gooch, in the
Fifth District, where all the strong
Administration speakers, Blaine, Daw-
es, Hall, Frye, and Boutwell, had
been stumping where the Navy Yard
is situated, which is entirely under
Republican control; where Gooch had
about 4443 majority in 1872; Banks
was elected by 1898. This was q
most signal rebuke for the admins
tration.
