is everywhere noticeable that the wheat !
Although the Spring is so late, the farmers
are about ready Tor complaining, and our
advices are that 4 larger area than ever
before will be planted. Notwithstanding
the severe freeze of last Saturday night,
which developed ice nearly half an inch
thick, the fruit which escaped up to that
time has not been materially injured only
a small portion OF the bloom ON the early
apple trees seems to have been touched by
the frost, while a careful examination Of
the fruit-buds on the few peach trees which
escaped the severity of the past winter,
shows tina; in some localities, at least, they
were not affected by the last freeze.

ing of the steamer st. Luke, Sunday night,
arrived here to-day He fioated down the
river some ten miles ON n raft, and then
swan ashore.
1t is reported that Mrs. Devan and her
two children were also saved, but this is not
definitely ascertained.
Joseph Medill, OF Chicago, arrived here
to day, en- route for Little Rock and other
Southern cities, for the benefit of his health.
SEDALIA, May 3.-The prospects for
good crop in Pettis county, this year, ara
bad, on account Of the backward Spring
and very cold weather. The frost on Sat
urday night injured all kinds OF vegetables.
The corn is also injured. There was not
much wheat planted, but what was is not
far enough advanced to be injured. The
fruit does not appear to have been injured,
generally, although We have heard some
farmers say that their fruit crop would be
very short this season.
KANSAS CRY, May 3.-The crop reports
from the settlers OF West Missouri and
Southern Kansas, tributary to this point,
represent the wheat crop is short and in
some localities it is almost entirely destroy
ed, while in Others it is not materially in
jured. The young grasshoppers have done
slight damage, in some localities, but not
OF much consequences. These pests are rap
idly disappearing, and very little appre-
hension isnow felt on their account here.
The farmers are planting the usual area
of corn, and it is reported fully a third
more. The fruit is as yet safe, and it
has not been materially injured nor is
it supposed that Saturday nights frost has
injured the growing wheat.
LAWRENCE, May 3.--The frost of Satur-
day night was severe, and did some damage
to early garden vegetables, but none to
wheat and oats. Fruit is Just coming into
bloom, and was not sufficiently forward to
be seriously injured. Crops Of all kinds in
this locality are looking we'll. The late
cool, damp weather, has been very favorable
for fall wheat, which is stOoling out finely
Farmers are we'll up with their work, and
greater breadth than usual is under the
plOw.
TOPEKA, May S.-Reports from all parts
OF the State say that the prospects Of crops
of all kinds were never better. The frost
of Saturday night did damage to the wheat.
There is considerable Matching OF young
grasshoppers in some localities, but the cool
rains are killing them about as fast as they
appear. The average OF wheat in this
State is much larger than last year, and
more corn is being planted than IN 1874.
All things considered, the agricultural out
look is more encouraging than it has been
for the past three years.
ATCHIsoN, MAY 3.-The wheat crop in
this region promises good harvest. The
cold, moist weather of the past three weeks
