mornings issue Of the Cincinnati Price
Current will contain what it claims to be
the fullest and most comprehensive re-
port Of the present condition Of the west
ern crops yet published, comprising about
$50 special returns from nearly as many
counties in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Michigan and Kentucky togeth-
or with reports from other States, They
relate chiefly to wheat, oats, corn and hay,
which indicate in Ohio and Indiana full
average acreage. The average yield is
somewhat large, and the losses by rain
are OF very inferior quality. In Illinois
the crop Is below an average, condition
largely bad, quality inferior. Iowa, ac-
rcage about us usual, generally harvested
in good condition, some damage by blight
and other causes, yield large in many
places, crop not full average, quality
Inferior, Missouri, considerably short
All materially damaged. Kentucky,
yield up to average amount, but largely
and badly damaged. Michigan, fair crop.
Wisconsin, very good crop and condition,
OF oats large destruction and damage
in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and
portions Of Missouri, while the acreage
was increased, and Michigan, Wisconsin
and Iowa show a large production,
Corn, largely increased acreage, very
promising outside OF portions Of the Ohio
Valley and il the crop natures, north
and northwest will be much greater than
usual.
Cattle and hogs, generally in better
condition than u year Rgo, and in many
sections the stock is feeding upon the
damaged grain.
Much Information is forwarded relative
to other crops, Potatoes promise an I'm.
usually large crop throughout nearly all
these sections.

OUR srEUBENVILLE LETTER
suicide Of william Shcrrard.

SrEUDENyfLLE, August 10.
Editors IntelllgCnCer;
A few days ago we mentioned the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and subsequent
discovery Of William sherrard who left
his home while aboring under temporary
insanity. Shortly Afterward he gave
evidence Of returning health and his
speedy recovery was confidently hoped
for. The improvement was however but
temporary, for he again wandered away
and two days AfterwHrd was found In the
lecture room Of the First Presbyterian
Church In this city. After this time tho
symptoms OF insanity became more
marked and strict watch was kept upon
all his movements. Al times In con.
verSation with his friends he would tell
them Of the fearful scenes through
which he was passing, and which were In
delibly photographed on his brain. On
the arrival OF his brother, the Rev. John
Sherrard, Of BuCyrus, Ohio, preparations
were made for his immediate removal to
the Insane Asylum at Athens. On Tues.
day he appeared very rational, and In
conversation with his family approved OF
their purpose Of sending him 10 the Asy-
lum for treatment, and set about prepar.
ing himself for the journey of tho morrow.
At an early hour on Wednesday morning
he took breakfast with the family, having
enjoyed a comfortable rest during the
night About 3 o'clock his brother Jo-
Seph went to the barn to hitch up The
team that was TO convey them
10 the Steubenyille depot, and
while the attention Of the other members
Of the family was tnOmentarily diverted,
in the twinkling Of All eye, William opened
the door and darted out into the dark.

downward IN less than six inches Of wa.
ter in Il spring about mile and quarter
from the Sheftard homestead. Hundreds
Of people visited the body. Coto-
ner Stephens, went through the
unnecessary ceremony OF summoning a
jury, as there could not possibly be any
verdict but that OF suicide while lnborlng
under a temporary ft Of insanity. Mr..
SherrArd was devOut and exemplary
member Of the First Presbyterian Church,
and the theory Is advanced that the fnan.
cial and ministerial difficulties Of this
church had something 10 do with the un-
settling Of his mind, he having been n
very active participant In the late con.
troversies. We cSnnot say what truth, If
any, there may be in the above theory,
but II Il be true II is certainly a sad
finale to a church imbroglio.
