The harley Crop.
The circular of R. H. Lawder, of Whitby,
Ont, under date Of August l, contains the
following:
The largest source of supply is from the
consin, Minnesota and Nebraska, and the
territories farther west Circulars and let.
tiers indicate deficiency in acreage of from
40 to so per cent. Two weeks ago the pros
poets for the growing crop were brilliant,
but the intense heat and heavy rains during
the past fortnight have SO shriveled and dis.
colored the grain that the crop there is now
reported as practically failure, with very
little barley likely to grade as high as No. 2.
AS regards the crop in Canada, dealers
generally agree that the acreage in 1873 is
from thirty to forty per cent. less than in
1877. About the middle of July, reports rs
to the probable yield and quality were un.
usually favorable; the yield was expected
to prove 10 bushels per acre over that of
1877, with a fine, plump berry and bright
color. But during the last two weeks the
same causes which injured the crop in the
northwest have operated disastrously in
Canada, and it is now thought that the yield
will be five bushels per acre less than last
year; berry thin, and light in weight per
bushel, and the greater part of the crop bad
ly stained, and large portion of it of small
value for mating purposes.
In New York state the barley crop of 1877
was of unusually large acreage, yielded
and the quality was very good. |
1t is generally conceded that last years crop
was the largest and best ever produced in |
that state. This year the acreage is reported
from one.fourth TO one.third less than last |
year, and the crop has suffered much injury
from the same causes as in the northwest |
and Canada

A clever colored leader in Column
bus, Ohio, protests against the pro-
posed repeal of the school law provid-
ing separate schools for colored chill
dren. He says: eff colored teach
ers are to be given employment in
mixed schools the same as white
teachers, measured solely by their
qualifications and fitness, and in the
same degree that white teachers are
measured, then the colored people OF
the State will interpose no objection
to the proposed change, but if the
500 OF 600 colored teachers of the
State are to be thrown out of employ
ment as teachers, with nc prospect of
entering upon any other calling OF
vocation and intelligence, then do
they most earnestly protest against
any such change as that contemplat-
ed by the passage Of this new school
BILL" There is no probability, how
ever, OF the Democratic Legislature
making any change in the school
laws affecting the question of the
mixture of races.

We will just say to Bro. Williams,
that we r not advocating the re-
election of Marshal RYAN because he
is a Democrat. We don't care a fig
about his politics in this matter.
We want him elected because he is
Industrious, capable and honest, and
don't seek the Office simply to live
off Of it; and farther, because we are
satisfied in our own mind that the
Interests of. the citizens and proper.
ty of Eaton, will be better guarded
and protected under MIKES expert
ence and careful guardianship, than
any other one now seeking the posi-.
tion, and we are4very well satisfied
that a majority of the voters will SC
express themselves on the first Mon
day in April. If they do not, they
will be voting against the welfare
and good of the town,

1t was our pleasure to spend last
Sunday at New Paris, Ohio. Desir-
ing to know something of the pros
poets of Cedar Springs for the en-
suing summer, to see a number of
friends at the village and to rest off a
day or two. from work, we went down
on Saturday afternoon and returned
on Monday. The Springs, placed in
the hands of a receiver or account
of disagreements between the pro-.
prietors, on the Goth ult., were sold.
The HALDERMAN Brothers were the
purchasers at $4,000. A half inter
est could have been sold, a year ago,
for nearly that amount and the HAL
DERMAN's would have bid up to 3d.
600. The DINNERS, of Dayton, stop
ped at $1,000. All the furniture,
carpets, &C., were sold also. The
HALDERMANs have been at Cincinnati,
this week, purchasing a new outfit
entire. Dr. HALDERMAN is well known
to all who have visited the Springs,
is enthusiastic and energetic. His
excellent wife, as hostess, will nc be.
loved by every guest for she is kind
generous and will be attentive and
watchful. We have but slight ac
quaintance with the brother but are
assured by those who know him best
that he is an excellent man for the
place, while his wife is also a lad,
likely to be very popular. The HAL
pERMANs have plenty of money ant
are planning many improvements
which they will execute. But o
these at another time. Cedar Spring
will be greatly improved and beau:i
fed this ~Spring.-Kokomo Tribune

The City Hall, at Harrison, Ohio,
which was new and occupied as the
Post office, News office, steam fire
engine room and Council chamber,
gas blowed up last week, and almost
entirely destroyed. The building
was lighted by zeal of a gasoline
machine located in the cellar, the
'sstop" of which had been only hall
twisted around, thus permitting the
gas to escape and filling the cellar.
Two members of the Council, Andy
j. Probst and Fred Rupp, went down
10 examine the machine and struck
a match for that purpose, when the
whole thing exploded with a terrible
crash, roasting almost alive Probst
and Rupp, and fatally injuring sew
eral others in the upper part of the
building. 1t was a foolish expert
ment.

Before the indiana. State conven-
ton, Gov. HENDRICKS thus express
ed himself on points of public inter
est:
One ofthe Louisiana criminals has
been tried and convicted. The Pres
ident and John Sherman say he
should not have been tried. Why
not? His guilt and that of others is
shown by the verdict. 1t is a high
crime against the nation and threat
ening the stability of free institu-
tions. What are the relations be-
tween the President and Mr.. Sher-
man and the accused that authorize
or permit an effort on their part to
Influence judicial proceedings in a
State Court? After a long and ter
rible contest, it is settled that State
elections and State Legislatures
must be free from military influence
and control; so, also, it must be IN,
derstood that the President and his
Cabinet cannot, directly or indirect
", interfere with judicial proceedings
under State authority. Whilst it is
true that the title of MI. Hayes to
the office of President and of Mr..
Wheeler to the Office of Vice Presi-
dent has been settled under the sol
emn form of law, and whilst it is our
duty, in my Judgment, to recognize
the title because it is in the in terest
of the public stability and tranquili-
ty to do so, it is still none the less
true that an imperative duty de-
mands that fitting punishment
should be visited upon the public
criminals through whose fsgitous
crimes that Judgment was obtained.
Because a judgment is final and con.
elusive forms no reason why immu-
nifty should be secured to the crimi.
nal through whose perjury it was OBJ
tanned. If this is true of a simple
property Judgment rendered in a
court of law, how much more is it true
of a monstrous crime against the cleo
tive sovereignty of the nation. The
very fact that it wSs successful fur.
nishes the strongest eason why the
condign punishment of the perpetra.
tors should cover it with perpetual
infamy and manifest to all future
conspirators against the liberties o.
the nation the danger of attempting
its repetition.

JOHNS TRICKS.
ATLANTA Constitution.

The tricks of John Sherman are
still coming to light. He is said to
be again calling in the one and two
dollar notes. He does not admit as
much; it is not his way to do anything
above board; but it is known that a
great scarcity of these notes exists
in the West, and that the Treasurer's
books show that amount of these
notes outstanding to-day is $40, 300,
900, against $56,000,000 one year
ago. He tried the same trick last
year. but public sentiment COMPEL
ed him to pay out small bills again.
The man is capable of anything that
is dark, secret and crooked.

In connection with the rumors that
Governor Nichols intends to pardon
General Anderson, Of the Louisiana
Returning Board, it is of interest to
note that under the laws of louisa
ma a Gubernatorial pardon requires
the affirmative sanction of a MAORI
ty of the State Senate before it can
become effectual. Prominent Louis
lana Congressman are of the opinion
that this Senatorial sanction would
be quite certain to follow such action
on the part of Governor Nichols in
this ease.

LAKE ERIE & LOUISVILLE RAIL.
ROAD

MI. j. H. Swaneke, Consulting
Engineer of the Lake Erie & Louis
vile railway, which road is complet-
ed to, Minister, twenty miles north
of here, visited Piqua this week to
consult with our citizens relative to
a continuation of the line to this city.
MI. Swaneke, was shown around
town and taken care of by a commit
tee of citizens, and he expressed him
self well pleased with the city and
its business. He thought no insur-
mountable obstacles to the building
of the road exist. He returned to
Lima Wednesday night, after hay-
ing made arrangements to go over
the country between Piqua and Min
ster in company with one of our cit
liens, in a week or so. After that
is done Mr.. Swaneke said tie Presi-
dent of the road would come to Pig
ua and they would make out an es-
innate of the least possible amount
of cash required from Piqua to build
the road here, and submit the same
to our people. As Col. Jackson ex-
pressed it, "the matter can be settled
within an hour after we know their
Offer" By that is meant that it will
not take long to decide whether Pig
ia can raise the money. There will
be no blowing or buster over the at
fair.
Should the road be built to Piqua
its ultimate extension to Eaton oia
West Milton and Pleasant Hill would
soon follow. Referring to the proba-
BILE revival of the old "Jeruselem &
Japan" road, the Eaton Democrat Of
Thursday says:
1t will be a happy day for Eaton
and surrounding country when they
get another railroad outlet.
Eaton's happiness may not be un
attainable, and a little work in that
quarter would lesson the time tina
must elapse before it comes within
her grasp.-Piqua Democrat, Marcl
I'd.

Remember the Democratic party
is in no way responsible for the,pre-
sent financial condition of the coun-
try. It is wholly and entirely the
work of Republican fnanciers and
Republican party policy. The Re-
publican leaders have had full swing
in all departments of the Govern
ment since 1861, except for the last
two years in the lower House of Con
gress. 1t is not fair then to say, as
some do, zone old party is just as bad

The primary election for a parti-
san Marshal, busted all to pieces.
JOHN HUBBELL was to be a candidate,
but discovered that it was a ''set up

now to support MIKE, knowing him
to be the peoples choice and the
best for the citizens of Eaton. Johns

old beast that has filled the place of
Deputy Warden for twenty years,
has been sent adrift. He should have
been put into the "ducking tub for
fo-ty-eight hours and given a taste
of the ''bull-ring" before he was dis
charged. We are glad that these in
