The Western Crops.

Advices from some parts of the west
give color to the idea that the rains which
proved so injurious to the crops in Europe
have begun on this side Of the Atlantic.
Undoubtedly these reports are exaggerat-
ed, and even with the proportions given do
not cover some of the heaviest wheat
growing states. The damage, no doubt,
is sufficiently extensive, but may not prove
30 serious as now stated. A short crop
here. unoer present circumstances, would
be very discouraging. 1t will be found
ultimately, we think, that the production
OF the cereals has been ample for our own
consumption, and the accumulation of a
surplus for European export at living
prices. Spectators will no doubt magni-
fly the loss by the recent unexampled rain
storms, in order to initiate prices unreason-
ably. Spectators are everywhere pract-
cal expansionlsts, and the bladders they
industriously blow up are continually
bursting with more or less noise, but slight
damage except to themselves.

Last Hours of Andrew Johnson,

The new that ex-President johnson had
been struck by paralysis was quickly fol-
lowed by intelligence of his death, which
occurred at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. w. r. Brown; formerly Mrs. Col.
Slower, in Carter county, Tenn, at half
past o'clock on Saturday morning. He
had been complaining somewhat Of i'll health
ever since the adjournment of Congress,
and especially during the past month, but
neither her nor his family had felt any Sc
riOus apprehensions. On Wednesday morn
ing he took the train for his home in
Greenvllle To visit his daughter, with whom
Mrs. johnson had been staying for six
weeks, and rode in hack from Carriers
depot TO her residence some six miles dis
tant. He arrived there somewhat fatigued,
but seemed in good spirits, and ate hearty
dinner. After few minutes conversation
with the family, he retired up stairs, and
was talking alone with his granddaughter,
Miss Nellie Slower, when about o'clock
his tongue suddenly refused utterance, and,
to her great CONSERVATION, he fell from his
seat on the floor. Help was instantly sum-
moned, and, almost as soon as he was
thioCh, hS NAPiCooCh ibhiotihttiJ HIS
right side was paralyzed, but when the
family spoke of sending for physician, he
forbade it, saying that he would soon re-
cover. Following his wish, they post
poned summoning medical aid for "a hours,
when DIR. Jobe was called from Elizaceth-
town, two miles distant. He instantly be-
gan heroic treatment, aided by DR.. Cam
eron, and seemed at one time on Friday to
be succeeding the patient conversed i'm
perfectly concerning domestic matters,
and did not seem conscious of approaching
dissolution. But it SOON appeared that his
case was beyond medical skill, and at 2
o'clock Friday evening, he became uncon.
scious. His daughter, Mrs. Patterson, who
presided at the White House during his
presidency, and his son, Andrew Johnson
Jr., who had been summoned from Green
vile, arrived, an hour later, with two ply.
sicians from Greenvile, but he did not rec.
ognize any of them, and after seven hours
and half of unconsciousness, peacefully
breathed his last, surrounded by his wife
children and all his grandchildren except
the son and daughter of ex-senator Pater

always trouble about the hose. We are
not one of the number that object to the
purchasing of new hose. We believe that
each engine company should have at least
double the number of feet OF hose that
they will. by any probability, be required
to use at any one fire. This will allow
of proper drying, reeling etc. We com
plain not of the expenditures before re-
ferred to, but we are free to say that we DO
not like to contemplate the results. IL
seems to us that by purchase of only the
best of hose in the first instance, a proper
care of it after it is in hand, and due in
spection at stated intervals we should RID
ourself of the danger resulting from defec-
tive hose at fire. 1t may be true that
only the best of hose has been purchased
and the best of care has been taken of IT.,
but it is evident that it has not been pro-
perly inspected. If it had been, the engine.
or engines would never have appeared at
the fire with hose that would break at the
first pressure. Let the trustees appoint O
competent inspector, at the outset, and lei
the hose be examined often enough to give
reasonable assurance that it will be OF
some use-and then let such other reforms
as may be suggested by the facts stated Oh
by experience follow.

Snakes.

A correspondent of the London Times
who was present at the Geological Gardens

describes the mode in which those deadly
reptils were handled by the keeper as
truly astonishing. With his ong-handled
wire hook, he, from respectful distance,
managed 10 draw out a snake tail first,
and, catching it by the tip, let 1t gently
down head foremost into it's new cage, the
lid of which. glass slide, was open just
wide enough to receive it. One after an

gave them the right to the exclusive occu-
patton of the Black Hills. The stipula-
tons of that treaty have been openly dis
regarded by the Indians. Every year since
the ratification of the treaty they have
made incurslOns into the white mans coun-
try, and these incursions have been marked
by wanton destruction of property, and
often of human life. The treaty with the
red men, which has never bound them,
should be annulled, and the Indians re-
moved further north and west. The settle
ment of that country by the pioneers OF
civilization is only question of time, and
the sooner such settlement can be lawfully
made the better it will be for the govern
ment, the Indian. aud all concerned.

extinction, or rather his submergence into
the white race, and the consequent de-
velopment of the west. l hope that wis

ing question of "What shall be done with

Pic Mic at Plymouth.


The Sabbath school connected with the
Unversalist church and society at Ludlow
held its annual excursion to and pic mic
near Plymouth ponds, Thursday the Goth
ult.
The day was one of the loveliest of the
season neither too warm nor yet too cool,
but precisely the temperate re which forms
the ''golden mean," while the sun was OBJ
scured inst enough to preclude the posi-
bility of any one being unduly scorched.
AT comparatively an early hour, those in
tent on enjoying the festivities of the day,
were soon enroute for the objective point.
The services of the Ludlow Altimont
cornet band had been secured, and they
formed part of the company, now fairly
under way. The enliveniDg strains of
music which this well known band dis
coursed, added essentially to the enjoyment
of the gathering. 1t has come to be very
generally understood, that the place where
this pic mic was held, on many accounts,
is one of the most desirable to be found in
this section of the state. The grounds,
which have been used for like purposes on
several former occasions, lie n close prox-
unity to the pond just above Tyson Fur
mace. A grove ample enough for tables,
the erecting of swings and affording sufiic-
lent shade, skirts the grounds on one side,
while directly in front, and extending to
the waters edge is a grassy interval, ad-
mirably adopted for. the playing of cro-
quet, and lying at your very feet is the
beautiful sheet of water known as Plym-
outh pond, the place Of all places in this
vicinity for boat riding purposes. All
these several features of the place and its
surroundings, were fully utilized on this
occasion. The boat riding was especially
fine and very generally participated in.
This pic mic ground is distant from Lud-
low about six miles, over road compare
lively level and COED, leading through some
very picturesque and romantic scenery.
The ride was no small consideration, more
especially to village children, who, as
general rule, have not the privileges of
travelling very extensively. No very
stringent rules or regulations, were imposed
on the company it seemed to be the I'M
Outstanding and desire, that each and all
should get as much enjoyment from the
gathering as possible, and to assist his
neighbor to do the same.
At about one o'clock the tables were
piled with the good things provided ex-
pressly for the time and occasion, literally
groanlng beneath the burden. II is hardly
necessary to say that every one, with APP
petites well sharpened by the ride, eagerly
partook of the sumptuous and well appoint
ed rcpast.
| In social converse and varied amuse-
ments, the day wore but too quickly away,
and at seasonable hour the picnicing
party set their faces In homeward direc-
ton, where they all arrived in due time
and in entire safety, apparently well
pleased with what they had heard, seen
and everyway enjoyed and cherishing, no
doubt, the rational desire that should a
like occasion again recur, they may not
only be fortunate enough to be there to
see, but to participate In and greatly en-
joy as they most assuredly did on the oc-
casion now described.
