EDITORS COURIER II desire to call
the attention Of the public to the
prevalent custom Of some persons, in
mutilating, destroying and stealing,
choice flowers and plants from the
graves Of our dead, in the cemetery.
If we have any law, those of us who
remember our dead by planting flow
ers and identifying their graves,
would respectfully ask the Cemetery
Association for the enforcement of
such law, for without such guarantee
we have little encouragement in such
laudablc work.

The Chicago Tribune gives the fol-
lowing flattering summary of the re-
ports it receives as to crops:
There is no better reading now-a-
days than the brief but expressive
messages which the farmers send over
the telegraph wires for publication in
The Tribune. Those which are Civ
en- this morning tell gorgeous story
of the harvest in Illinois. From
nearly every county in the state the
report is the same-winter wheat
threshing out heavy yield of BUSH
els to the acre, and the grain 30 plump
and fine that it runs from sixty to
sixty-five pounds to the bushel; rye
and barley safely threshed, and the
yield big one every way; oats new
er better, and running up to fifty and
sixty bushels to the acre corn Won
derfully improved, thanks to the al
most unparalleled stretch of favora-
BILE weather, and likely to turn out
fairly after all. This for Illinois,
while from other Western States the
same good report. The year 1877
promises to be memorable one in
the crop annals of the great grain
producing States.
