crop Prospects in this County.

From conversations with prominent and
Intelligent farmers from various parts of
this county we learn the following facts
as to crops and the effect Of the contin-
ued wet weather:
/. This is not a wheat growing county.
Many farmers raise none to sell, and some
none at all. Corn, cattle and hogs are the
reliance Of farmers, and those who have
bent their efforts in that direction are
nearly all in good circumstances. If they
are not it is the fault of bad management,
idle or dissolute habits, and want of econ
omy. p
2. The condition of crops this year. in
this county, may be stated as follows:
Corn-in splendid condition. Some
pieces on low land little too wet, and
some leaning little. But on the aver.
age, at the present writing. the prospect is
fine.
Barley-a good growth and all cut
but injured little in the shock, by rain
The principal injury. thus far, is that the
berry has dark appearance.
Oats-a very heavy growth and three
weeks ago a prospect of a magniGcen
yield. The rain has lodged them all dowI
fat. Those exposed to the effects of wine
and sun will ripen: those at the bottom
will not. They can be mostly cut with
moving machine. Those that are ripe vii
thresh.-the unripe will not. Of cours
the straw will be good fodder, but th
yield of grain for market will be light,
Rye-was cut early and saved. Thu
yield was good, bnt the quantity raised wa
small.
Wheat-the little that is raised is nearl
ruined by rust. One man said he sowe
10 acres because he wanted some straw
but he will not attempt to cut it, becaus
the berry is ruined by rust and the stra
is worthless. He will wait till the straw
thoroughly dry and then burn 1t off th
field. Occasionally farmer may save
little wheat, but very few will save any.
Hay-a good deal Of timothy was C,
and well cured, and housed or stacked b.
fore the late rains A good deal is yet
cut The yield of hay is large and th
loss by wet weather will not be great.
Potatoes-at present there's every pro
pect of large yield of the finest quaht
BuckUhedt early to tell about it.
Grass-never better Stock doing splel
didly.
Garden 1ruck-pumpkins, onions, tn
nips. etc., ETC., all good.
i Fraat-very little of any kind.

The Rock Island Union declares the

their abolition and the adoption of county
organization, as in the good old days Of the
three commissioners, - Cambridge ChrOni-
Gle.
And nobody. outside the Republican Of
fee holders and Office seekers ring, Sec
onds the motion. That set opposed town
ship organization when it was first adopted
in this county, and eyer since. The word
ing of the Revised Statute on that subject,
however puts it out Of their power to ever
get sufficient number Of signatures to a
petition. to ensure the calling of an election
to vote on the question again.
The precinct system, in the early history
Of the state, was preferable, and it is still
preferable in some sparcely settled coun-
ties, where competent men are not easily
found in every township to ill all the Of
fees. But when a county becomes as
populous and as intelligent as our northern
counties now are to 60 back to the old
precinct system would be for the people to
acknowledge themselves unfit to manage
their own public affairs.
The Republican ring masters and wire
pullers would be very glad to destroy the
system of township organization in this
county and get chance, through two Of
the three county commissioners, to use the
public money in their own way, run the
county in their interest and keep the peo-
pie in ignorance: They cant do it. Their
designs are known, and will be exposed
and thwarted by the people.

Row on a Ferry Boat near Hillsdale

Row on q Ferry Boat near Hillsdale,
On Tuesday of last week, while some
men were at work removing log or snag
at Schuck's ferry, on Rock river, near
Hillsdale,a butcher named Fred Nuhn un-
dertook to back team belonging to Her
man Refs off the boat into the river. A
row followed between several men, all be-
ing pretty full of beer. Among the num-
Der was a man named Blaisdell, farmer
who resides in the edge of Whiteside coun-
ty, who was barefoot. He sprang forward
and got between Nuhn and Refs and tried
to stop the quarrel, MUM turned on him
aud they had scuffie, Nuhn falling heavi-
ly on the deck of the ferry boat, his head
striking OF a ring bolt. Nuhn got up with
out assistance, took drink of beer, got up
on the wagon. laid down and went to sleep,
never to wake again. A coroner's inquest
showed that his skull was fractured. On
his way to the ferry boat previous to this
affair he fell from the wagon and one
wheelrun partly over his head.-but it is
generally believed that his skull was frac.
tured in the fall on the ferry boat.
Mr.. Blaisdell was arrested on the order
Of the coroner of Whiteside county, and
employed Hon. Charles Durham to defenG
him. He is charged with manslaughter
and has procured bail for his appearance
Circuit court sits in Whiteside, in abou
two weeks, and the trial will probably ther
take place. These facts we condense from
lengthy article in the Henry Count!
