MAGG0TS IN HIS EAR.
From the Oshkosh Northwestern.

From the Oshkosh Northwestern.
A young man named Henry Futcher
applied to DR.. Linde the other day ask
ing for relief from a terrible pain i'll the
side of his head, which was driving him
almost to distraction. His head was
swelled and the blood slightly oozing
out of his ear. He said he had suffered
terrible agonies, and thought the diff
Guilty was located somewhere in his ear.
The doctor examined the ear and OBJ
served something wiggling far in to-
wards the drum. Dipping feather in
carbolic acid he inserted it in the ear,
and was surprised to see live maggot
hop out. He then injected some acid,
killing the remaining maggots, which
tumbled out where he could reach them
with pincers, and in this way he remov-
ed seven large maggots of a peculiar
kind. They were about i4s.f an IL CHI
long and an eighth of an inch tho Jar
ger at the head than the tail, and formed
of succession of rings. Examined un-
der a microscope, the maggots were
found to possess three sharp horns in
their heads with which they dug their
way into the flesh. They had dug in
the ear considerably, and were piercing
the drum. In fact Futcher had been
unable to hear with that ear for some
time. The pain caused by these animals
was almost rnbearable and yet the real
cause had not been suspected. The doc
tor has made inquiries and searched
authorities, but is unable to find like
case recorded. He supposes that some
fly or insect must have blowed in the
ear. He has preserved the maggots in
alcohol and the seven of them almost
fill q common phial.

HIGH PRICE OF WHEAT.

Wheat has risen in this market within
the past ten days twenty cents per
buShel-that is, two cents per day. This
is one the most extraordinary advances
ever known on the Milwaukee Produce
Exchange. It has bewildered every
dealer on Change, and SO far from MAX
ing large fortunes by this great advance,
scarcely person has made anything
the rise was SO unexpected and spring
ing from causes rarely heretofore COM
bined. So some of the shrewd operators
with known 'fbullish" tendencies, sold
wheat deliverable in July at $1.01,
which is now $1.24.
The combinations which have caused
thi rise are perfectly legitimate, and
would have affected my market Very
few counted upon wet weather in France,
England and Austria, and at the same
time drought in Russia. Two such
combinations seemed ordinarily impossi-
BILE, and yet they have occurred in rs.
Farmers who have reserves of wheat
would do well to watch the market now,
because freights to New York must soon
rise, and that must depress the price of
wheat. We hope that every farmer will
bear in mind that 81. q for.wheat in the
month of July is an extraordinary price,
and may rarely occur again. The amount
of wheat received in Milwaukee up to
the present time from the beginning
of the year is less in amount by 5,000,-
900 bushels, than during the correspond
ing period of 1874. We therefore think
that there must still be large amount
of wheat In the hands of the Western
farmers. That amount is estimated at
from 7,000,000 to 100000 bushels.
One dollar and twenty-four cents may
not bring it all out, but $1.30 will. If
the farmer cleans out his granaries now
and passes his wheat into consumption
the new crop viii command good price,
because it will then be known that there
is no reserve wheat left of the crope of
1874.
One reason why the wheat market has
been so firm is that so soon as q large
rise was established upon urgent foreign
demand, merchants and others in the
Eastern cities who had surplus idle
capital, sent orders to this market and
Chicago to buy wheat largely, as they
now saw for the first time an unexpected
opportunity to make large interest on
the capital invested. This is the real
cause of the upward tendencies of the
Western markets. 1t is legitimate, be-
cause it is based ON foreign demand,
and flow of capital into wheat on the
part of men who have regarded wheat
as sure to rise. So both demand and
speculation alike will aid the Western
farmer in selling his reserve wheat at
much higher figures than he thought
possible one month ago.

STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

1t must not be supposed because
nothing Is being given to the public that
nothing is being done in the State Geo.
logical Survey. But 1t is now being
prosecuted with vigor under the direc-
ton of DIR. Wight. as State Geologist.
Corps In different sections of the State
are now in the field, and we learn that
the results of the survey are likely to en-
sure a valuable money return to the peo-
pie.
The state appropriated $50, 900 for
this purpose, and the survey was to be
completed in four years. Already ex-
tensive beds of water lime, mari, and a
superior quality Of clay for fire brick
have been found, and it is remarked
that the discovery of either one of these
products will add so much to the re-
sources of the state and its taxable pro-
perry that it is worth more in dollars
than the survey will actually cost.
These surveys, if properly conducted,
and tie results properly presented to
the public, add new sources of wealth
and prosperity to the inhabitants of the
state. The people are always impatient
for results in every scientific investiga-
ton. That is the natural tendency of
the popular mind. But the good fruit
is finally ready for the hand

A RATIFICATION MEETING was held IN
Milwaukee on Tuesday evening, which
was an immense success. Speeches
were made by Hon. W. E. Smith, Hon.
J. b. Cassidy, Senator Howe, and 9TH
ers, and the enthusiasm manifested over
our State ticket was really astonishing.
Men of all parties, and from every sec
ton of the State, were present. The
Sentinel speaks of the meeting as follows:
Those who have withstood the previous
evidences that the Republican party of
Wisconsin is united in the determine
ton to win the coming election, must
succumb to the manifestations that were
afforded by the meeting at the Academy
of Music on last evening. Among the
gentlemen who sat together upon the
platform, there were Representatives of
every division that has ever been sup
posed to exist in the party, and they
were as harmonious a gathering as was
ever witnessed. 1t is an irresistible in
ference from the occasion that the work
of the recent Republican State Conyen-
ton effected not only a truce, but per-
manent peace. Then the auditorium of
the hall was crowded by Representative
people of Milwaukee, and their enthus-
iasm in behalf of their fellow citizen who
has been nominated for governor indi-
Gates that he Will not fail to receive the
cordial acknowledgements that he de-
serves. A good point was made by
Senator Howe when he thanked fine
people of Milwaukee for their wiling
ness to surrender their faithful and we'll
tried servant to the service of the State.
The speeches were all happy, notably
that of Mr.. Cassoday, and met with a
warm response from the audience.
