THERE are q number Of ruEors
afoat in regard TO transactions in the
COMMISSIONER Office. 1t is reported
that bills have been paid and raised to
higher figures, and published to the
public with the advance added to the
original bill. Among men on whom
it was said bill was raised is Mr..
Eli Dunn, reputable citizen of Fer
managh township. 1t was said that BY
going to Mr.. Dunn the facts in the case
could be learned. We called on Mr..
Dunn and asked concerning the matter
in question. He STATED that lie had
done service for the county in the tran
scribing of dockets to the amount of
two hundred and twenty FIVE dollars ;
that be presented his bill to the board
of Commissioners and was paid for it.,
and that be had since been told that In
the published statement Of the Receipts
and Expenditures be was charged with
a much larger sum, and referred Us to
/ that published document for informa-
tion beyond what has just been stated.
BY consulting the published statement,
under the head of Public Offices the
name of Eli Dunn appears, as follows ::
"Eh Dunn, transcribing dockets, Off
GERS fees, &C., six hundred and eighty
dollars and fifty seven cents" which,
when Mr.. Duns's bill of S225. is de-
Quoted, leaves a balance of four hun
dred and tfty-6ve dollars and fif.y-
seven cents for officers fees, &c. After
referring to the statement and reach
ing the above result, and making 1t
known to Mr.. Dunn, he would not
charge it on the balance that it was in
any particular wrong. This may be
what we last week classed an unltem-
lied statement. Ii any responsible
man knows differently wherein particu-
lar wrong lies, let him come forward
and so state it, and it shall be published
in the columns of the Sentinel and Re-
publican. We have published town
ship statements in bulk, handed to US
for publication, that are as obscure as
the county case referred to, that prob
ably were all right, but they we're quite
unsatisfactory and were not what the
law renuires. They were unltemIzed.

The Milwaukee & Dubuque Narrow

A correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Commercial Times writes to that pa
per form ';oscobe in reference to the
above proposed road. He favors the
city of Prairie du Chen being made
the river terminus of the road instead
of Dubuque. He says:
On the route designated for the
Milwaukee, Dubuque Narrow Guage
railroad from Dodgeville to Lancas-
ter, lies a rich farming country that
has never been a source of sustenaDce

sections Of Wisconsin. The farmers
are wealthy, both in land, stock ard
green backs their farms are under a
high state Of cultivation. yelling the
best Of cereals large farms dot the
broad prairies and the pastures are
now filled with sleek boxing herds.
This garden OF south western Wiscon-
sin will be a great feeder to the new
road and thus take from Boscobel a
large trade that she now has.
In order to divert the line Of road
and thus save 20 themselves the large
trade they now have, tho Bosco-
belians will mako a proposition to
have the road leave the proposed
route at Wingvillo and bear north

stream with the Wisconsin river,
thence running in westerly course
through tho towns of Boscobel, Wood

The general condition of the small grain
crops is bad. The wheat stands thin, with a
weakly, unheal.hful appearance and partially
damaged by the chintz bug. The barley is
damaged by the chintz bug to far greater ex-
tent than the wheat, so much so that some
farmers have sown fax among the ruins of the
barley--so there is no prospect of having more
than half crop of either wheat or barley
The fax crop looks favorable for an average
crop Potatoes look well but the Colorado
bug is among them and to what extent its
ravages may extend cannot now be estimated
The acreage OF wheat is far less than last year,
and fax more. Other crops the same as last
year. WIN. RuNDELL.

WINGVILLE,

Four or five weeks ago the farmers were
very much discouraged, for every one you
would meet would say that the chintz bugs
were eating up their entire crop; not being
satisfied with wheat, barley and oats. they
went at the corn and fax-but the cold rains
of the past three weeks have been so destruc-
tive to the bugs, and pushed the grain along so
well, that the people are encouraged and the
prospect now looks favorable for good crop.
Wheat and oats look remarkably well not so
much wheat sown as usual but few small
pieces of barley put in, and it was nearly
cleaned out by the bugs before the rains came.
There is larger acreage Of fax this year than
usual and it looks well Corn looks well, but
l think it is fully two weeks late. Some
doubts are felt for the wheat and oats, and it
is believed there are chintz bugs enough yet
to destroy tho entire crop, if the weather
should prove favorable for them from this
time forward. great many more potatoes
planted than usual, and the prospect for a
good crop is favorable there are few potato
bugs but not enough to do much damage.

CASSVTILE.
GEO. w. LEE.

Wheat never looked better than at present.
On our timber ridges the chintz bug has al
most entirely disappeared; further ont on the
prairie the chintz bug has been thinned by
the late rains and cold so that they are not
expected to rally in sufficient force to do
material damage. Oats look fine. Barley is
comming out splendid, and | am afraid that
persons who substituted corn for barley after
the first onslaught of the bug, have missed the
mark. Corn, from the effect of late wet and
cold weather, looks rather yellow and sicky,
though not hurt as yet and warm weather will
soon bring it out, and from the general good
stand attained may make good crop. This
depends much on the weather in July and
August and more on the amount of judicious
labor expended on it. Potatoes have not
looked better at this season for a number of
years-the attacking bugs, the advance guards.
together with their larya, seemed to have been
washed away or drowned, but sunshine reveals
the fact that they are still there and need to
be attended to- Flax and rye we do not raise
in this town. The number of acres sown to
wheat and oats is about the same as last year,
while that of barley is less and that of corn
more than last year.

WYALUSING.

We are not without fears for our wheat
crop, as we have the chintz bug in too liberal
supply to be unconcerned. The crop in most
places looks well, and the late rains have
dampened the ardor of the bugs, but they are
here in force, and if their ratio of increase is
to be as large and their power for destruction
as great as in other years, then our fears are
not without foundation. Oats and grass look
exceedingly well, better than usual. But little
rye sown, but that little good. know of but
one field of barley, and the bugs have nearly
destroyed that No flax. Potatoes look well,
with no complaint of bugs. Corn looks well,
but rather small; with favorable weather the
promise is good the cut worm has done no
material damage to this crop so far as heard
FROM About the usual acreage of the differ
ent crops, and leaving out of sight the cbintz

BLOOMINGTON

The acreage of wheat is full one third less
than last year; stand is thin on the ground,
caused by the chintz bug The outlook was
SO forbidding two weeks since as to threaten
the entire cereal crop, that must have ensued
if the dry and warm weather had continued
that is favorable to the PROPAGATION of bugs
and their ravages upon the crops. In some
cases wheat has been plowed in and the
ground planted to corn. The acreage of bar
ley is greater than last year, but has suffered
from the bug the most of any OF the cereals
and prospecting promises the poorest return,
as with wheat, some plowed in, but not enough
of either on the whole to effect the crops in
the aggregate. Oats look as well as last year
acreage full up, not injured by bugs and
promise a good crop. Rye is but little grown
in our town and where noted its stand is thin
upon the ground The recent providential
and beautiful rains have given new life to the
crops, and dealt heavy blow to the chintz
bug And should the crop reach maturity
with favorable weather, escape a renewed at
tack from the new brOods of chintz bugs we
may not fall seriously below the average corn;
one-fourth more planted in acreage, stand
good-little below average size at this season
but with the fine stock of moisture IN the
ground to 20 into mid summer, with heat
sufficient, that July and August usually gives,
good crop may be looked for. Flax has
larger acreage than any previous year and
outlook good. Potatoes, fine prospect of
crop and no injury from bugs.

| have been residing in the town OF Smelser
for thirty years, and have nevar seen a more
promising prospect for crops than the present
season presents The acreage in wheat is
smaller than last year, owing partly to the
fears entertained by the farmers in respect to
the chintz bug, and partly to the light demand
for the wheat now on hand. The acreage in
corn and oats is greater than last year. Usual
amount Of barley sown. The quantity of rye
sown in our town is nominally nothing. The
acreage in flax is small, as the farmers are
lust now beginning to introduce fax growing.

the bugs; no damage done to wheat so far by
the pest the bugs are very plenty. Potatoes
look well bugs not so plenty now; they will
probably not hurt potatoes so bad as last year;
farmers are badly scared on account Of the
chintz and potatoe bugs. So far as my OBJ
servation extends, wheat, oats and corn will
exceed last year in number of acres; corn the
greatest, wheat next, oats third. Barley and
