English l. emand for American Wheat.

There are many indications in England of
the probability of q large demand there
this winter tor American whea at. A writer
in the London Times says that last year the
British wheat crop was twenty-five per cent
below an average, while this year it is
eleven per cent below. The amount this
year available for consumption, after de-
Quoting the wheat necessary to be retained
for seed. is stated at about 72,OOO, 900
bushels, the average yield per acre being
twenty five bushels this year. The require
ments of the population for the year are
estimated at 1874 900. 600 bushels. Therefore
ll2 100000 bushels must be imported, an
amount about equal to the importg OF
foreign wheat into Engleand during the
past year.
In the wheat trade the fact is demon
strsted in England that wheat can be inn
ported cheaper than it can be grown. Each
year there is diminUtiOn in the acreage
sown. Thus the increased yield per acre
this year compared with last year is entire
ly Offset by the reduced surface planted in
wheat, which is but 3,l14, $50 acres. Eng-
land now looks to the United States as her
chief source Of supply for foreign wheat, of
which San Francisco sends her probably
the greatest amount of any single port.
If we are able to grow breadstuffs and
provisions for England, and supply her
more cheaply than che can do it ct home,
it gives us . vantage ground held by no
other nation. Whist We do for her We are
doing for France, Germany and other
European countries, and 90 long ss we can
keep out of foreign quarrels, and also keep
the peace at home, this trade is sure to
greatly benefit Us.

A Great Pigeon Roost.

The Southland, Missouri, Rustic says:
Pigeons have come into this part of the
country by millions. OF evenings the sky
is darkened with them in the neighbOrhoGd
of DR.. Dodson's on the Auglaize. They
have made DodsOn's farm their head
quarters, and at nights the trees and un-
derbrush are loaded down with multitudes.
As this roost is but short distance from
our house, we have had ample opportunity
to watch their maneuvers and to hear the
iucessant noise they make. A little before
shutdown large armies of pigeOns are seen
coming from different points Of the CON-
pass, but each army passes onward as ii
they intended to change their r0Ostlng
place. After awhile they return and settle
them nearer than q mile of the place. They
make sudden flights from these trees, and
the sound Of their wings is like that of 3
great storm. There is . constant roaring
in tho air as myriads of the birds fly to and
fro. About dark they fly toward the roOst,
and for a long time they. fly round and
round, and have the appearance of bees
swarming, although the vast number and
tornado-,ike roaring they make surpasees
After awhile they alight on the trees and
bushes, and the limbs are bent downward
and often are broken of.
The pigeons keep up constant chatter
ing. which can be heard for miles away.
They are never still during the night. So
far as sleep is concerned, such thing il
out of the question with o pigeon. They
are disturbed by themselves, such thronge
assembling in o spot that none can be still
for momept, and the incessant dischafg-
ing of firearms among them causes them to
change their location almost constantly.
This roost is visited every night by crowds
of men, some with guns and others with
poles, which they use in threshing down the
struck.
Hundreds are killed every night; but
when light appears the vast armies again
90 forth with apparently as much vigor as
ever. Pigeons have been killed in New
York with undigested rice in their crops,
which they had evidently gathered in the
rice fields in the Carolinas. From these
and other circumstances it has been esti-
mated that pigeon flies at the rate of a
mile m mite.
Imagine then, millions upon millions OF
these birds, all on the wing at the came
time, over q scope of country not more than
two miles square, and faint idea of the
noise they make may be obtained. But no
one can ever fully imagine what q pigeon
roost is, or how much noise they make,
until one is seen and heard.
There is an abundance of mast here
now, and we suppose the pigeons will re-
main here until it is all gone. One curious
circumstance is that in the neig bOrhood Of
this pigeon roO5t we never see pigeon
from the time they leave Of mornings until
they return of evenings. They are not
eating the mast here ut all, but some " here
they are feasting luxurisntly, for they are
all fat,

ACCIDENT ON THE JACKSON RoAD.-Ihe
DELAY of the train that brought General
Sheridan to New Orleans was caused oy an
accident before it reached the Louisiana
line. The details are meagre, but it appears
that passengers were thrown out OF their
berths in the sleeping car, some were
bruised more or less severely and others
frightened. The train had to be divided
and the route finished in other cars.

ENGLAND.
E1tradition CORRESPONDENCE.


LONDON. June S.-The British Foreign
Office has published the correspondence
relative TO the extradition treaty between
the United States and Great Britain.
From this it appears that Hoffman, the
American charge d. affairs, in consulta-
ton with Lord Derby, May 18th, suggest
ed the settlement OF the difficulty by the
negotiation OF an article additional to the
treaty Of 1912. Lord Derby wrote to
Hoffman saying that tho Government was
ready TO meet this suggestion, and imme-
diately enclosed draft OF an article,
providing that persons extradited shall
only be tried for the offence for which
they are surrendered.
This article is similar 10 one formerly
agreed to by Mr.. Fish during the negotia-
ton in 1871 concerning the revised trea-
ty. Earl Derby telegraphed TO Thornton,
the British minister otWashington, auth
orizing him to sign the additional article
as above. Fish declined TO accept the
proposal and expressed to minister
Thornton, his extreme regret that
HofIman's suggestion should have led
Lord Derby into Misrepresentation.
Though the United States are willing TO
make new and enlarged treaty, they
could not agree to the proposed article.
Derby wrote 10 minister Thornton on the
10Th Of May expressing his regret that
Secretary Fish declined to agree to the
additional articles as every obstacle to
the surrender Of the prisoner would have
been thereby removed. On the question
as to what authority should decide
whether an offence for which prisoners
extradition is demanded is political or
criminal England agreed to meet Fish's
views by emitting from the clause the
words empowering police magistrates to
determine the nature Of the crime, but
the government could not hold out the
hope that it would be impossible TO ask
Parliament to sanction treaty opposed
to the act OF 1870, or which would permit
the trial Of extradited persons for extradi-
table crimes other than those for which
they were surrendered. He concludes by
saying the government earnestly hopes
that Secretary Fish will withdraw his OBJ
lection TO the additional article, and thus
enable the new treatyto be signed imme-
diately

THE PRICE OF WooL.-The Waynes'
burg Republican (Green county Pa,) ad'
yises the farmers not 10 hold back their
wool this season, and claims to have Civ
en- them the same advice this time last
year. The editor sees nothing ahead 10
indicate an advance. In this connection
We may mention that J. c. Palmer, Esq,
Of Brooke county, sold his wool this sea-
son to Samuel George, Of Wellsburg, for
S5 cents, which is ahigher price than Mr.
George or any one else in Brook county
would now pay. Probably 80 cents is now
a fair quotation, ii indeed there can be
said to be any established price.
