the vicinity Of this city, are very favor
able for crops. The past three days
storm seems to have had no other effect
than to impede the farmers work. In
some places the wind has tangled the
wheat and barley.

hall crop, and if much more ram falls
the small grain will be injured.
Marshalltown-The low-land corn is
badly damaged, but on the Highlands 1t
is in good condition. The wheat and oats
are unhurt.
Tama-The rains have not done much
damage in this section, and if the wealth
or continues good now the crops will not
suffer. The low-lands have been over
flown.
Mechanicsville-R Rains have done little
injury to any of the crops and farmers
state that there will be n good yield pro-
vided no more rain falls.
ldlZerne-The rains of the last few
weeks have injured the crops greatly:
Grains are beginning to rust. Farmers
say if the wet weather continues another
week wheat and barley will not be worth
cutting,
Maoueekta-There is good prospects
for all grains, but corn is very backward.
There is no danger of rust in wheat.

vents plowing. Other cereals doing
finely.

Chickasaw, Floyd, Mitchell, Butler,
Franklin, Harden, Hamilton, Webster,
Calhoun, Pocahontas, Buena Vista Cher
okee and Plymouth counties state that

small grains to any great extent. In

and lodged, but the wheat, oats and barley
generally promise large yield. A tenth
more acres under crop this year than lHst.
Corn looks bad and is very weedy. Wet
weather prevented the farmers from work
lng it in u few hilly sections that were

An Issue Between State and Federal
Judiciary.
Out of this case there has also grown
much excitement in the past two or
three days. -Four men from Owen county
were convicted in the United States
court for the OhenSe named. Sentence
was suspended by Judge Eminson, and
the prisoners have since been confined IN
jefferson county Jail. Last Friday their
counsel obtained u writ of habcas corpus,
from Judge McMNrana, circuit
Judge for Owen county, directing
Ambrose Capp, jailor in charge
of the prisoners, to bring them before HIM
ut Owenton. Camp, upon counsel, de-
cided not to obey the writ on the ground
that he had no authority to do so, and
went to Owenton to return this answer.
A special to the Courier says that Judge
Nc Munama adjudged this answer as in
sufficient, and fined Camp 81 900 for con-
tempt, and ordered him to bring the
prisoners to Owenton next Friday. Dis
trict Attorney Wharton and the United
States Marshal will refuse to allow the
prisoners to leave the Jail here, and will
resist any attempt to remove them by
force if necessary, but it is understood
upon very creditable authority, that
Governor Leslie will not sustain Nc
Nc Manamas action in the matter. The
issue of the question is looked to with
great interest.
