KEoKUK, Iowa, August 6.-The C1uaitu-
non publishes complete report of the condi-
ZION OF the crops throughout the Des MONIES
valley, extending from Keokuk TO Fort
Dodge, from which the follow ing summary is
made. Wheat Is above the average crop, and
OF good quality. Oats will ma ke a heavy
yield, and average from forty TO sixty
bushels. Corn, with favorable season, will
nave more than an average crop. Rye and
barley, but little was sown. II is OF good
yield and good quality, averaging forty
bushels per acre. Potatoes are large and
looking nicely; there are the best products
ever known. Timothy, there Is a fine crop
which Will be equal TO that OF 1876. Flaxseed
there was but little sown, but there will be a
good yield; II looks fine. The grasshoppers
are plentiful in the northern counties, but
are doing no damage. On the whole tie
prospects are very fiattering.

FoRTY-SEVEN STABs.-One of the most
terrible murders we ever heard OF was COM
mitted in the eighteenth district of this
county on Sunday night. We gathered the
following particulars of the affair: An old
gentleman by the name of A. .. Shields was
waylaid on that night as he was returning
from a neighbor's, by his stepson, Alvis
Phillips, and William Burrass. The assas-
sins fired at him, the shot taking effect in the
left arm. Mr.. Shields ran toward a house
near by, pursued by the two men. Amer
running two or three hundred yards he
climbed over q fence into a tobacco patch
and here the bloody deed was consummated
They first stabbed him fort y-seven times
and then finished the fiendish work by knock
ing out his brains with an AK. The cries of
Mr.. Shields aroused O lady and boy, who
lived rear, and they ran out aud witnessed
the last scene IN the bloody tragedy. Bur-
rass and Phillips threatened them with
death IL they ever told on them, but they i'm
mediately gave the alarm, and Monday eve-
ming Phillips was arrested by party OF citi :
zens, brought 10 town by Constable Huidle-
sion and lodged in Jail. Burrass has not vet
been arrested. The cause OF this murder was
family quarrel, Phillips accusing Shields
OF mistreating his mother. An Inquest was

PARALLEL To THE CAMPAIGS.
Although the Russians and the Turks were
constantly at war during the eighteenth CEN
fury, only one campaign offers a parallel 10
tne present military operations. The seat of
war lay north OF the Danube. in the Crinea
and Bessarabia, and the Danube was seldom
crossed. In the campaign OF i773-74, how
ever, Romansoff bridged the Danube near
Braila about the middle of June, defeated
the Turks In the vicinity OF = ilistria, and in
vested the fortress. The advance OF a large
force from Snunla compelled him TO raise
the siege, and he retreated across the Danube
early In July. In october he reopened the
siege, and sent column I'm the direction of
Narna. His forces were again compelled 10
withdraw, owing TO the superiority OF the
Turkish cavalry. In the next year the Rus
SLAMS crossed the Danube al Turtu kai, which
Suwarrow had captured during tue previous
summer. The Turks made no attempt 10 de-
fend the line of the Danube, but concentrated
their forces at Shumla, leaving strong garri-
sons AT Rustchuk and silistris. Kamins XII
and Suwarrow defeated the Turks IN the
field, and the grand vizier, almost deserted
by his army, shut himself up in Shumla
and sued for peace. Constantinople was
saved by the plague then, just as IL was In
lS29.
