The Yield of Corn in Illinois for the
Month of October.

The regular crop circular for October
was issued from the Office of the state
board of agriculture at Springfield on
Saturday. 1t is based on reports made by
the regular correspondents of the board
from every county in the state on the Goth
of October. The following shows the state
of the yield, condition of animals, ETC.. in
this congressional district, embracing the
counties of Rock Island, Henry, Bureau,
Lee and Putnam:
Rock Island-Corn is we'll matured, and
will make an average yield per acre, and
the increased acreage will make the 1877
crop larger than the past year. Pastures
are in good condition. the late rains have
improved blue grass very much; timothy
and clover are much better, but prairie
grass has not improved. Farm animals
are healthy aud in good flesh; very little
hog cholera among hogs.
Bureau-Corn is we'll matured, of good
quality, and will make more than an
average yield on the increased average
Pastures are 10 good average condition
late rains have revived, aud no frost to
damage. Farm animals are 10 good con
dition. having been favored with fine
weather and abundant pasturage.
Henry Corn is good, we'll matured, and
will make more than an average crop;
some report as high as ninety bushels per
acre. Pastures are full up to good aver
age. Farm animals are in number one
condition; less than the usual number of
fatteDlng cattle, and about the average
number of fatteniug hogs.
Lee-C0rn is sound and Of good quality,
and owing 20 favorable weather has iu
proved since last report; the yield per acre
is fully up to good average, which, with
the largely increased acreage, will give the
county one of the.largest crops ever pro-
duced. Pastures are short, owing to dry
weather 10 summer, and the recent rains
have not had much effect in starting the
grass, owing to cool nights. Farm animals
are generally healthy; cattle are not in the

state body Of Mexicans have crossed to
Eagle Pass, pulled down the American
flag and in its place ran up the Mexican
rag. If this is true, have Gen. Dix's
orders carried out-on the spot. The
Mexican officials on the border say that
they have given up criminals in every in-

treaty, bat they reserve the right to refuse
to deliver Mexican citizens on the demand
of the u. S. commanders, when the

IT seems that Boss Tweed has
''peached" on his pals at last. 1t is
something in the old mans favor that
he has so long shielded his companions
in crime while he was subjected to all
manner of torture. But he has finally
concluded TO look out for himself, and
for the purpose of extricating himself
from the tolls of the law he makes a
full and frank confession. The docu-
ment is in the hands of the authori-
ties, and a brief synopsis of its contents
will be found in our telegraphic col
umns. He spares none who were con-
cerned with him in his plundering
schemes. Oakley Hall was in full fel

IT is generally believed in St. Louis
that the fire was raging in the base
ment of the Southern Hotel for at least
thirty minutes before any attempt was
made to arouse the guests. Several
servants were in the meantime striving
hard to extinguish the flames. The
head waiter states that he applied the
hose and remained at his post until
compelled to flee to avoid suffocation
The conclusion is therefore inevitable
that many lives were lost through the
negligence of the servants in not sooner
giving the alarm.

THE A GILMAN.

From a gentleman in this city. who
knew Mr.. Gilman in Salt Lake and
was familiar with the wife-transfer
business, we learn that the sale was not
effected as mentioned in our dispatch
yesterday morning from Eureka. Ii
was a job put up on John Hale by Gil
man and his wife. Hale was a man of
dashing appearance and reputed to be
worth some money. Gilman aud wife
agreed to become divorced, when the
wife was to marry Hale, get his money
and a divorce from him, and remarry
Gilman. This nice little programme
was carried out 50 far as the first di
vorce and marriage were concerned,
and, after Gilman thought his wife
hid been living with Hale long enough
10 get the money, he proposed that she
should get the second divorce and re-
turn to him. This she refused to do,
saying that she much preferred Mr..
Hale to her former Observation-Disclosures
prise.
We are confident that the Enterprise
is wrong in this matter and that the
circumstances in relation to the affair
were as published in the SENTINEL.
We received our information from a
perfectly reliable gentleman, a former
resident of Salt Lake City, who heard
the particulars related by a business
nan of that place who negotiated the
sale of the property, including the
''arpurtenances," etc. That our Vir-
ginia City contemporary was incor-
rectly informed is proven by the fact
that in a few days after the transfer
was made and the divorce granted, Gill
man married another woman, a servant
girl in bis family when he was living
with his first wife. This was a
member of the Church of the Latter
Day Saints, and since his marriage to
her Gilman has been regarded by the
Gentiles in Zion as a Jack Mormon.
But either version of the affair proves
him to be a ~characterless fellow and a
fitting tool for the murderous scoun-
drels who have evidently employed
him to do their dirty work.
