The Wheat Crop of Ontario.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-Geo. J. Abbott.
United States Commercial Agent at Good
wheat crop OF that district is the largest ever
threshed. For one month there was no rain,
and farmers had grand opportunity to har-
vest their wheat in the best condition Fifty
nushels TO the acre is not unusual, while forty
is common. One farmer gets 1000 bushels
from tiFty-one acres, another 444 from twelve,
a third $40 from twenty acres. One farmer
threshed LOG bushels from two and a quarter
acres. The average yield in Ontario this year
will exceed twenty-five bushels to the acre
which, Mr.. Abbott thinks, is higher average
than in any Of the States during the last ten
years. Ontario has an area of 100000 square
nmlles, and a population of 100000. What
State OF equal size can compete with it in
wheat raising? Notwithstanding it's great
fertility and salubrity Of climate, there is
constant emigration going to the United

Amateur Oarsmen's Regatta.


NEWARK, n. j., Aug. 15-The sixth annual
regatta Of the National Association of Anna
teur Oarsmen will be held on Passaic river on
Tuesday and Wednesday, August 20 and 81.
The event promises to be interesting and ex-
citing, as the entries embrace the names of
oarsmen from every section of the United
States, and Canada is also represented. In
the senior single sculls there are sixteen en-
tries; in the junior single eleven; in the
double sculls nine; in the pair-oars four, and
in the four-oared eleven. A better showing
was never made at Henley, much less in this
country. The work of preparing for 1t goes
on well. The grand stand has been erected !;
it will accommodate over sc, 900 persons.
The Yale men, Julian, Kennedy, Livingston
men are also arriving, and even now the Pas
sale is alive with men at practice. Lee has
concluded not to go to Plymouth, Mass, but
remain at Newark to prepare for the event in
which he has entered in this regatta.

TMemDh1S Appeal Of Bunday.I
Capt Bowman, who has charge of the river
front at the mouth Of Wolf river, reports that
on Friday the steamer City of Helena from
New Orleans, met the Grand Tower in Fople-
mans chute, some twenty-five miles up the
river and the boats were lashed together for
some two hours. While 50 lashed freight and
passengers were transferred from the Cityof
Helena to the Grand Tower, which boat came
down and landed here on Friday afternoon
On Friday night late five skiffs with muffied
oars were seen coming down the river rapidly
in midstream, in front OF the city, by Officer
Daily and John Gillespie, watchman on the
st. Bernard coal fleet. The skiffs were headed
that landing was made there. The boafg.
evidently contained passengers from some s1o
river steamer which could not land here. The
quarantine will have to be made more strict
on the river 'front.' and efforts should be made
to capture the blockade runners.

Nebraska suffered more than any part OF
the Northwest. Spring wheat is in but aver

We're greatly in the majority, enjoyed special
advantages. Texas correspondents speak of
the season as the most propitious for many
years.
On the eastern slope of the Mississippi VAL

show an improvement during July

NEW YORK, Aug. I'D. B. Sturgeon, lead
er Of the National Greenback party in Ohio,
in conversation this morning, said that the
political pot was beginning to boil at lively

carry Ohio, but would elect a great many of
Congressmen, perhaps three He thinks the
Republicans have the best show to carry the
State.
In regard to Kearney he said: Every one in
Ohio looks upon him as sincere in his advocacy
of the workingmens cause, but he will hardly
succeed as leader in the East as we'll as he
did in California Gen. Butler, he thought,
was very popular, and is looked upon as a
great leader, and he thinks will be the next
has no doubt that the chances of the National
party succeeding in 1880 are very good. The
people want change in parties. Both the

the Papal NunciO.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The information con-
tanned il these dispatches some days since,
concerning the result Of the negotiations at
Kfssengen, between the Papal Nuncio and
Prince Bismarck, is confirmed by simulta-
neous advices from Berlin and from Rome.
The Falk laws are to remain on the statute
book, with the understanding that they are
not to be enforced. They are to be suffered to
become dead letters, like the ecclesiastical,
still unrepealed anti-Jesuit laws in England,
Ireland and Scotland The exiled bishops are
to be allowed to RETURN but they must make
no parade. The vacant parishes are to be
gradually filled up with appointments not
objectionable to the government For the
present the exiled members of the religious
orders are not to return.
It is to be understood that these agreements
are not embodied in any paper that is to be
made public, but are merely to rest upon an
understanding with each party.

BISMARCK'S DISPATCH.
Excitement Created by lit I'm Paris and
BeFRin-England Requested to Re-
anDnstrace with Germany.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Advices from Paris and
Berlin speak of some excitement in both
these cities, caused by Prince Bismarck's
peremptory message to the Sultan, and in the
political and financial circles the news of this
message has created some agitation.
It is held here that, under all the circum-
stances, and considering the intimate rela-
tions which exist between England and Tur-
key, that this threat, If necessary at all,
should have come from England. 1t is
claimed also that Turkey has moved in the
matter with as much celerity as possible, and
that the Porte is not responsible for the re-
sistance offered to Austria in Bosnia, nor for
the delays elsewhere.
There is q report that the Porte has re-
quested MIR, Layard to ask the English gov
ernnent to remonstratew with Germany against
the tone Of Prince Bismarcks dispatch, and
the threat contained in it.
