The CROPs.-The report of the depart
ment of agriculture for July shows that the
average condition of winter wi eat for the
whole country is 104. The most favorable
conditions of growth were found in several
of the states in which other crops suffered
most severely. Arkansas, the maximum.
IA; Tennessee, I19; West Virginia. us
Kentucky, III. In these states a severe
and destructive drought, just before wheat
harvest, gave to this grain fine opportu-
nifty for ripening thoroughly, but told fear
fully on all spring and summer crops. In
the middle states the crop was generally
above the average, and in the states north
of the Ohio, nearly or quite average Ohio.
where drought has most prevailed, shows
the highest average, los. West of the
Mississippi the crop was generally very
good, and above average. except where
late sowings were caught by chinch-bugs.
which, with other causes. reduced the aver
age of Kansas to 90. The crops in the
southern wheat states generally showed
considerable margin above average though
Texas reached only 81. In New England
the small acreage of winter wheat was
somewhatinjuredb by winter killing Spring
wheat shows general average of 90. In
New England it was. on the whole, consid-
erably above average. though backward
in several counties. In the few counties
growing this crop in the middle states it is
below average. In the northwestern states
it especially suffered from the ravages of
chinch-bugs and other insects. In Ohio
Nebraska, and on the Pacific coast the
crop was above average. Six states report
the cultivation of sugar cane, in all OF
which the acreage has been increased viz:
Alabama, 13l; Mississippi. 40; Texas.
ITO; Georgia, los; Louisiana, 104: Flor
ida, 103. The condition in all these states
is above average, viz: Louisiana, l0S;
Mississippi and Texas. 105; Florida, 1O4:
Alabama, 102. and Georgia. l0l The
Louisiana sugar product promises to b.
equal to that of 1873, notwithstanding the
overflow. The wool-clip was larger than
last year. In Nebraska, 151; Oregon. 12I:
California. 100; Connecticut, III: Mime

greatest decrease, IL per cent, WAS in Yer

states. Ohio decreases her clip per cent
Illinois, per cent; New York and Penn

very marked increase of wool production
in the states west of the Mississippi and

EDITOR FREEMAN: [ notice that Hon.
Asahel Peck is to be the next governor OF
Vermont A good selection; he has all
the Jeffersonian requisites-honesty, capa-
bility and faithfulness. Knowing him. /
am of the opinion that the office sought
him, which is contrary to the rule of the
present day. also sec that your congress
sonal convention is called for the 18th
inst at Middlebury, and that Hon. c. w.
Willard is a candidate, or will be before
that body for reelection. To one ut this
distance, knowing him personally, his
qualifications, experience, financial ability,
and career in Congress, it seems as if there
could be little opposition to his return.
He certainly has the three requisites above
named. Vermont is well represented by
him-the Union needs more such men in
Congress No new man can fill his place
for long while; acquaintance with rules,
tactics and persons, as well as much expe-
rience, is necessary there for ones stand
inc, influence and usefulness. Rings,
bribery and corruption must be met and
put down, and he knows their plots and
counterplots better than a new man can.
His acts are of record and the past ought
TO be a guarantee of the future. We
think him Il strong man to guard the United
States treasury in these days of spoilation
md robbery of the people. Indeed, our
member, Gen. McNulta, says Mr.. Willard,
and Mr.. Holman of Indiana, are t,co great
obstructionists. l asked him what he
meant. He replied that they g DISTRACTED a
great deal of pilfering from Uncle Sam,
and ought to be reelected"
A word or two as to this country, crops,
&c. While rain is abundant in many parts
of this state, we are in the midst of a Sc
we're drought We have had no rain of
any consequence for six weeks. Small
grains and early vegetables and hay, ma
tured and good. Potatoes and corn will
be failure unless rain comes soon. and
half crop of our great staple-corn-is
all that the most sanguine count on. As
this county is IL great stock producing re-
gion, it will affect the quality and quantity
of beef and pork very much here, as the
pastures are all dried up. Mclean is the
largest county in the State, nearly as large
as the state of Rhode Island-over 1000
square miles-and very little waste or poor
land. With a large area under cultivation,
it follows that our corn crop is enormous,
amounting to millions of bushels annually.
Bloomington, the countyseat, is thriving,

A WORD TO REpuBL1cANs.-Duringth the

WORD TO REpuBIIcANs.-During the
,,rosont week the towns which have not al
ready selected their representatives VIII
hold caucuses to elect delegates to repre-
sent them in the Congressional Dlstrict
Convention, to be holden at Mitldlebury,
next week Wednesday, August 18th.
Need we urge upon Republicans every
where the necessity of coming out to this
caucus and seeing to it that their respec-
tive towns are represented at Middlebury
by their strongest and most reliable men?
A little attention to this matter at the
primary meetings will secure the object in
view much better and more easily than
anv amount of work at the polls on the
first Tuesday of September. This County
we believe to be solid for the return of Mr..
Willard to Congress. See to it then that
YOU elect for delegates men who represent
your views in this matter. And having
elected Willard delegates, be sure that
everyone goes to the Convention next
Wednesday. Delegates from this section
will generally take the Tuesday evening
train for Middlebury, but those who
prefer can reach Middlebury in season
for the Convention by taking the early
Wednesday morning train west over the
Central Vermont. Let no town fail to
send full delegation for Willard to Mid
dleburv next Wednesday,

1t is so much the fashion to talk of the
West as being almost to man for infa-
ton, that the letter from Minnesota, Civ
ing the views of the people of that state
upon the subject, and the reasons for their
being in favor of a sound currency, has
occasioned some surprise. So far had this
delusion extended before the adiournme nj
of Congress that Senator Window of Min
nesota, though opposed to the SCHEMES of the
infiationistS for - making money cheap, "
felt constrained, out of Difference 10 what
he supposed was the sentiment of his con-
stituents, to vote for some of the comprom-
Use measures. He has been astonished
since his return home to find how public
opinion upon this question had been mis-
represented There is doubtless very
much the same condition of feeling in
other states. The same demagogues who
credited the people with the disposition to
pay the debt in greenbacks in 1868 have
assiduously cultivated this false impression
concerning the popular demand for infa-
ton at the West. When the facts are
reached they do not by any means warrant
any such notion

The CENTENNIAL OF CHEMISTRY.-A
number of the leading American chemists
and savants assembled at Northumberland,
Pennsylvania, last Friday, July 31st, to
celebrate the centennial anniversary of the
birth Of Chemistry" as they termed it,
and to honor the memory of Joseph Priest
ley, the " discoverer of oxygen" who was
buried in that village seventy years ago.
They had addresses and visited the grave
of Priestley and exchanged cable kilograms
with the English chemists, assembled in
Birmingham, England, to unveil a statue
of Priestley in that city; and appointed a
committee of three of their number to rep.
resent them "in spirit" at the English
celebration. How this spirit representa-
ton was accomplished is not related; per-
haps by some new chemical process.
When we reflect what oxygen has done
for the world-that without it we should
not have any water; and that it forms %
per cent of the atmosphere, and portion
essential to human life. saying nothing Of
the part it plays in combustion, and Other
progressive see that it was quite right 70,
the chemists and other people, on both
sides of the water, to honor the memory
of its discoverer.
