THE IIARvEsrs.- All accounts frol

TIE IIARvEsTs. All accounts from
California and Oregon and the Pacific
SIDE of the continent, represent the
prospects tor a good wheat crop as en-
tirelv Natt"ring. a general review
Of the Yield Of wheat IN California,
shows that while this years crop will
be below that Of last year, it is not a
failure exccnt IN few special dis
;ricts. 1t is rather to be classed
among good harvests, there being no
rust and no smut, and the grain being
reported from all quarters Of good
quality.
From the way the Democratic
County Conventions held Oh the East
era Shore are sending Groome delega-
tons to the State Convention, it Is
Thought he will receive the nomlna-
ton; and why not, The Annapolis
Gu.ct, SAYS No one can deny that he
has filled the office OF Governor with
becoming dignity and fulfilled its du.
ties with perfect fidelity, and under
the circumstances, it would be un Just
to faithful and efficient officer to dis
card him.
AT tie request OF the Interior De-
partmcut, Lieut.. Gen p. II. Sheridan
has detached the following officers Of
the Army to act as Inspectors of In
dian supplies now being forwarded to
the Indian country; Capt. Gilman, at
Kansas city; Capt. Charles Mcclure,
at Sioux City; Capt. X. J. f. kridge,
at CHEYENNE, Wyoming Territory -
Other officers for similar service will
be detailed to act at other points as
the supplies arrive.
The stealing of $4,000 from the
Treasury has tended to open the eyes
Of the new Treasurer, Mr.. New, to
facts Of which he was ignorant before
He finds out now that the Treasurer
has to be personally responsible for
any moneys stolen, and this has some
What cooled his arlor for the position.
He says he doesn't know whether he
wants it or not,
THE chances are 50 evenly balanc-
e between Hamilton, Groome and
Carroll for the Democratic nomination
az Governor Of Maryland, that many
of the presses and politicians of the
State are indulgins in speculatlons as
to the probable result. We apprehend
that no definite conclusion will be
reached until the Convention meets at
Baltimore on the Dist CT this month.
DELAWARE and the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland are happy over peach
crop estimated at 10000 baskets. Ar
engagements have been made to ship a
portion Of the crop to Western Penn
sylvania, Northern New York, Bos-
ton and Montreal. Buyers are pay
ing from 50 to 60 cents per bask et,
and it is thought the crop will realize
over n ,OUO,OoU.
A SHOOTING affair occurred at the
st. Clair Hotel, Baltimore, on We'd
nesday last, J. Lyle Clark being shot

the chastity Of their sister, an accusa-
ton which he denies. He is not serl~
ously wounded, and his ASSISTANTS were
arrested and released on s., 1000 bail.

TIE "era Of good feeling" has Ger
tainly arrived when Confederate SOL
diers march through the streets of
Boston in the gray uniform, and not
an arm was lifted to oppose their pro
gress, for the Southerners marched to
the tune Of " Yankee Doodle, and
the 1" Boys in Blue" responded with
Dixie and "Ny Maryland
