braska, II In Western Missouri, and 10 in
Southwest Iowa, in reference to the acreage
, of corn and it's yield, and also as to the PROC
able number of hogs which will be marketed

The United States consul at Quebec
says s6,5O0O0O capital have been wholly wiped
ant hr,< fo31, ,f ~ ~
hangc and Vile Marie banks, besides the de-
positors and bill holders Of half million more
But worse than all is the coudition of the
working classes During the past winter
there was scarcely any employment, and it is
estimated there are not less than seven thous-
and men at present out of employment in
Qubec and suburbs. Controversies about the
distribution of the small amount of work to

anything but agreeable.
