The exports of the crop Of each year run,
1t must be understood, into the succeeding
year, as, for instance, those of the crop of
1871 run to June 80, 1872, and so on for the
subsequent years to 1876. The exports of
the crop of 1877, the shipment of which is
computed to September l, lS7S-the fiscal
year being changed-is partly official and
partly estimated, but the reasons given for
putting the exports as high as 100, 0O0, 900
bushels appear to be conclusive. Assuming
1t TO be correct, the following statement is
given of the manner in which the crop of
1877 has been or is being disposed Of The
total crop for the year was 325, 600, 900 bush
els. The requirementsforh home consumption
and for seed are put at PIG, 1000, 900 bush
els, leaving surplus of 100, 000, 600 bushels
for export and to replenish stocks on hand.
Of this 100, 10000 total of so, 000, 900 bush
els had been exported from all the ports up
to the first of the present month, and it is ar
gued that ''if we add something for the ex-
port of wheat in various forms of bread, and
the probable exports during all the present
month, the total exports of the crop of 1877
will not be far from 100, 900, 600 bushels"
We give the data upon which the exports of
the crop of 1877 are based because of the i'm
portance of the subject as bearing upon the
disposition of the crop of 1873 1.-THE present
year. The crop as we have already stated
Is put at 407 ,00O, 900 bushels. 1t is estimated
that the requirements for seed and home
consumption will absorb 220, 90 bushels,
as against PIC, 100000 bushels of the crop of
1877, leaving a surplus of 1877 900, 900 bush
els for export between August 81, 1878, and
September /, 1879, as against 100, OOO, 900
bushels of the crop of 1877.

Our Prizes at Paris.

American exhibitors at Paris seem likely
to make up an extremely handsome list of
prizes awarded In n severe aud Just compet-
ton TO the skill, dexterity and genius shown
in the products of this country at the world
fair. Our agricultural implements, our rifles,
our steam driven machinery, our tools. our
sewing machines, our watches, our canned
fruits and meats, and that latest of American
discoveries, the telephone, are to be especial
ly honored in judgments that have been
framed after the examination of all that has
been done in the same way in all other ma
iions. Ii does not surprise us to find our
countrymen thus successful equally as inven-
tors and mechanics, for we knew before their
real pre-eminence in ingenuity and skill; but
1t Is pleasant to find that these are recognized
and rated at their just value in foreign lands
upon a comparison with all that the world
can display to dispute with them the palm of
victory. No country in the world is so fer
tile as ours either in far-reachinginventions or
in the continuance and construction of ma
chinery by which great inventions can be made
available for the use and profit of humanity.
Labor saving machines are a direct product
Of genius applied to conditions found espe-
cially in America, where, despite all that is
said about overproduction, there is a popula-
ton rather larger than that of France, distri-
buted in country with ten times the area of
France. Our reapers aud mowers are the
result of scarcity Of labor. They enable
one man to harvest what twenty could have
harvested before, and even with this economy
in labor labor is scarce in this country this
very year. With hundreds of idiots bowling
in every city about hardship and want there
is labor for all not too lazy to take hold of it.
Our sewing machines are another response to
a similar demand. 1t is, in fact, a general
character of a wide range of American inven-
tons that they tend directly to make man or
woman in great degree independent of out
side help. Our canned meats make country
people independent of market, and our can
ned fruits and vegetables make everybody
even independent of summer. Ii isthe large
range of their adaptabillity to human wants
that gives our inventions success abroad; and
let it not be forgotten by those who want to
organize society in 4 sort of gigantic State
prison that all this is the result of free labor
and competition that gives the amplest play
to talent and skill.-N. Y. Herald.

Avon THE Chill NIGHT AIR.-How much
sickness is due to imprudenee and unneces-
sary exposure, it is not possible to determine,
but II is reasonable TO conclude that much
the greater portion of the ills which flesh is
heir to, may be attributed to that source. We
noticed many persons during the very hot
weather sitting out in the night air, exposing
themselves to the dew and the dampness OF
the night, running the risk of taking severe
cold, catarrh, typhoid or other Diseases
Avoid draught at door or window, when very
warm, and keep out Of the night air, unless
you are walking or taking other exercise. In
this way with prudence in diet, much sick
ness may be avoided.

Saturday, by the Mt Vernon Singing School,

The exercises, consisting principally of sing

eral solos by young lady from an adjoining
county were well received. A lady of known
talent from UniOntown gave some fine in
strumental selections But probably the best
appreciated Of all were several songs by a
young lady from Baltimore, who kindly con-
sented TO add to the interest OF the occasion.
Several essays on musical subjects were also
read. The teacher of the class, Mr.. Tilman,
