THE CoLoRED MEN TO THE FRONT
Our patriotic fellow-citizens OF color
have been talking about raising a Hayes
and Wheeler pole for some days, and yes
terday afternoon they succeeded in their
object. The pole is about ninety feet
and very crooked, as most Of
the "Rad's" poles are. With or.
binary intelligence the furniture
could have been put up in about ten
minutes, but as there were three or four
white abosses," they SO puzzled their COL
red brethren by the multiplicity Of
orders, that all was confusion. The pole
was finally gotten into position about
7 o'clock, amid great rejoic-
ings. The lateness of the
hour compelled the postponement
the speaking until 8 o'clock the same
evening. At the appointed hour for the
orations, j. Pluvius, ESQ.,, got on his ear,
and was p touring his walls of wrath upon
the colored citizens and everybody else.
This cause another postponement, and a
colored gentleman announced that the
speaking would be "preferred until next
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. at
which time distinguished" speakers
would address the meeting.

in the mills except puddlers, will hold a

movement say that this is not aimed at
for the purpose Of strengthening strikes,
but, on the contrary, TO prevent strikes
altogether. They propose to bring TINS

GrOn PrOsDeets,

ToLEDo, O., July 2s.-The Blade pub.
fishes this afternoon its usual midsummer
crop report. Reports from l7S places IN
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois
show that the wheat crop in nearly all
the wheat producing districts is nearly
I'D to the average in quantity, while the
quality il superior to that of former years,
Spring wheat in Illinois is generally very
bad The best reports for winter wheat
come from Michigan, where the harvest
has been specially good. The corn
crop promises very we'll everywhere;
the acreage is much larger than ever be
fore, although the farmers were much
discouraged early in the season by the
continued wet weather, which prevented
working, aud drowned out the corn IN
low places. They believe now the crop
will be enormous unless inter
sered with by frost. The oats
crop in Illinois, Indiana and
part of Michigan is nearly total failure,
and what grain was grown is deficient in
quantity. In southeastern Michigan and
northwestern Ohio, the crop is unusually
good. The rye and barley crops are all
up to the average. A large quantity OF
fax seed was sowed in some parts Of In
diana and Illinois, and has done we'll.
There were less potatoes planted than
last year, but the crop will be larger.
Hay, except in some parts of Michigan,
where rain intertered with its cutting
snd curing, has produced far beyond the
crop of any previous year; the q, lity is
very good, and it has been well taken
care of. The apple crop is very large
everywhere. Only a partial crop Of
peaches will ripen. Grapes are wonder
fully abundant in the Lake region, and
promise to ripen we'll. Taken altogether
the farm products will exceed those Of last
year from thirty to sixty per cent.
