The Sunday school convention of the
Baptist churches of Rock Island, Henry
and Mercer counties will meet in conven-
ton at the Baptist church, Moline, to-mor-
row. This convention will adjourn on
Wednesday at noon. The Baptist conven-
ton, in the interest of the churches. viii
then come to order and remain in session
until Thursday noon.
Tomorrow the pigeon match between
the Cleveland nine and the Moline GunC Club
takes place on the Water Power Com
pany's land, opposite the Half Way
House. Preparations are making to give
the Cleveland boys warm reception, and
the match will no doubt be the most ex-
citing of the season. The very best ma
terial of our home club will compose the
Moline nine and if our boys do not give q
good account Of themselves it viii be a
sore disappointment to great many. To
night the club will hold meeting in
Timm's Hall when the final arrangements
will be made. s. R. Porter will probably
be the captain of the home nine.
The churches were all well attended
yesterday. At the Congregational, Rev.
r. c. Barnard, the regular pastor, preached
his first sermon since his return. The
Baptist church was well filed morning and
evening. Rev. Will M, Collins, of the
Methodist church, discoursed to good sized
audiences morning and evening. The Sum
day school exercises at the Baptist church
were of an unusually interesting nature and
the attendance large. Father Greye, at
the Catholic church, preached to the
largest congregation since taking charge Of
the parish. This chur;h is growing rapid
ly since he has assumed its care, and has
been very much improved in appearance,
Father Greve seems to infuse new life into
his hearers, and fully merits the success
which has thus far crowned his efforts.

change. In fact they do not desire to see him in the
field again. With regard to the probable nomneesof
the republican party, General Burnside said he had
thought but little about that In fact he appeared to
think il entirely too early to venture opinion. The
other prominent men with whom have conversed one

CINCINNATI, Ohio, August 10, 1875.
Tomorrow mornings issue of the Cincinnati Price

most comprehensive presentation of Western corn re-
ports yet published comprising about $50 special returns
from nearly as many counties in Ohio Indiana Illinois,
Iowa. Missouri, Michigan and Kentucky together with
some from other States They relate chiefly to oats,
wheat, corn and hogs.
or wheat the reports indicate in Ohio and Indiana
full average acreage YIELD somewhat short large losses
by rain and very inferior quality In Illinois the crop
s 9ssy lhS sXss2gs largely sRs quality Inferior q
Iowa the acreage Is about usual generally harvested
in good condition, some damage by blight and other
causes, yield large in many places, but the crop
Is not full average and the quality is inferior In Mis-
souri, IL is considerably short and materially damaged
In Kentucky the yield is up TO the average amount but
cr6p. In Wisconsin there is very good crop and in
good condition.
OF oats there has been large destruction and damage
in Ohio Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, and portions of
Missouri, while the acreage increased, and Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa showed a large production.
Of corn there is largely increased acreage, and IL is
very promising outside of portions of the Ohio Valley
and If the crop natures north and northwest il will be
much greater than usual
Cattle and hogs generally in better condition than
year ago, and in many sections are feeding the
damaged grain. Much information is furnished relative
to other crops.
Potatoes promise unusually large crop throughout
nearly all these sections.
