Cooperation and International Changers.

The Bulletin reminds the International Or.
der of Changers that the farmer, the manu-
facturer, the shipper, the shipbuilder, each
III his own sphere, may at almost any time
control "the tide that leads to fortune" but
where each ftbese essays to exercise ut once
the functions of all, the chances are that he
and all of them will suffer shpwreck and 20
down together.
The better and surer way to facilitate the
exchanges of the two countries, would be
such a modification of existing tariff arrange.
ments rs would permit of frecr trade. The
worst "middemen," consumer and producer
alike have to contend with at present, it
strikes us, are the monopolis,s and class in
terests, who seek exclusive privileges at the
hands of Congress, supplemented by the
great army of harpies who, as the outgrowth
OF our existing obstructive system, infcst the
custom Houses The Changers and the
English Cooperative Societies propose to do
a good work, but we are inclined to think
they are beginning at the wrong end.
The above, from the N. Y. Bulletin, which
is con sidered one of the best authorities in
commercial and financial matters, tells in O
very few words one ofthe causes-in the fact
the principal causc-of the depressed condi
ton which exists in all of the industries OF
the country, namely, the policy which has
been pursued by the Republican party
since its advent 10 power, in granting exclu
sive privileges to "monopolists and class in.
terests," thus hampering and obstructine
that freedom of trade which is so absolutely
necessary for the real prosperity of our farm
ers, manufacturers and merchants.

TILE CROPS.

THE CROPS.
The growing crop of corn looks splendid, and
fine yield is anticipated. The crop of oats will
be good. Garden vegetables are choice and
abundant. Early potatoes are yielding well,
where the bug has been kept under and the pre-.
sent outlook for the farmer is tlattering.
BUCKwHEAT.
More buckwhcat will be sown In this district
this year than has been for many years. Some
of our farmers will SOW twenty acres.
Low WATER.
The streams of water are lower than they have
been for forty years. and our mills are sadly
crippled for want of water to drive their ma
chincry. Wells and springs are going dry by the
dozen, and serious Inconvenience is anticipated,
unless copious rains should fall to replcnish the
fountains
SUN STROKE.
One day last week little boy about ten years
of age, whose father lives about two miles west
from Dublin, Ind sun stroke. He was found
by colored woman lying in an insensible con-
dition, and she kindly took him in her arms and
carried him to his grandmother's near by, where
the proper restoratives were applied, and he
soon got better. He suffered terribly during
the balance of the day. but through judicious
treatment he has now recovered.

ofwhisky, they soon organized dance and were
having happy time, when their fun was brought
to speedy close, by mean pole cat that had
taken up his quarters under old Jake's bed, who,
not relishing the fun, came forth into the midst
of the half drunken jewellers, and ungallantly
scattered his nauseous perfume over "de gals
and boys" which caused hasty stampede from
the ball room-the gals in wild hystericks,
screaming, 'de debil Is In de Kitchen" Their
fine dresses were all spoiled, the room was bad
ly tainted, and ode fiddle" was smashed during
the confusion. Thus ended the centennial amid
black looks and angry curses.

ascertain, the wheat crop is light one
probably not over half an average CROP
The clover crop was short, and timothy is
light; corn is good, bad and Indifferent, but
with favorable season may yield an average
crop. Oats is not worth q comment. Rain
is much needed A few light showers have
done good, but we want soaking rains
Springs, wells and streams are all low.

THE ARMY WoRM.-A new pest has made
Its appearance in some portions of our coun-

serious damage TO the wheat crop 1t is an
active, voracious customer, which feeds upon

from Bel Air, has sent some specimens to
the Baltimore Gazette They were submit
ted to the distinguished scientist, Prof. p. r.
Uhler, who pronounced them q species of
army worm, like the one which did such
damage to growing crops in Georgia and
elsewhere a few years since. The Professor

denly in vast numbers to eat up every grow.
ng crop. AS this species attack the wheat
n the head it might be swept off into bag
net of coarse cloth, and then destroyed by
trampling beneath the feet
The Gazette's correspondent says:
II have noticed that the worm in question,
although knocked off the wheat by handling
in the act of harvesting, crawl back to the
shocks and fix themselves in the sheaves.
They are thus hauled in with the crop, and
no doubt continue their work ofdestruclion
Would it not be BEST therefore, to thresh
out the wheat without delay, not only for
present economys sake, but to starve the
worm out before the next crop comes on ~
