that It encourages tramps. 1t seems to be fact
that the county nlmshouses along the route OF
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad are. to great eX-
tent tramps' hotels. The tramps worry through

TIE Harrisburg Telegraph of the 3Oth ult.
says: Gov. Eoyt yesterday evening affixed
his signature to the pardon of Dennis F.
Canning, Molly Mcguire, convicted in 1873
OF conspiracy TO murder, in Schu,Ikill
coauty. At the last session of the Board
of Pardons, Canning's case was held under
adyiSement until the views of Judge Perish
ing and District Attorney Kaercher could he
obtained, and these gentlemen recommend
ing the policy in the interest Of public pol
Icy, It was accordingly issued. Canning
was convicted in 1875, in connection with
Jack kehoe and other Molly Maguires, and
sentenced TO fourteen years on two indict-
ments. About two years ago he was par
doued out on one indictment, in order that
his testimony might be used in the trial of
Dennis Donneliy, hanged in Pottsville In
April of last year, and Pat Hester, Peter
Mciiugh and Patrick fully, executed al
Bloomsburg IN March, 1873. In both these
cases his evidence tended largely toward
conviction of the Molly Maguires indicted.
He was also an important witness against
Peter McManus and John O'NeaI. Mollie
Naguires, under sentence of death in North
cumberland county. He is possessed of ad-
dIiional secrets concerning crimes by Molly
MaguireS, which he is expected to disclose
IN the interest OF justice. Canning was a
prominent member of the murderous order,
and at the time of his arrest was delegate
of Northumberland codniy. The pardon
was forwarded last night.

Report Of Crops, July l, 1873.
FROM THE UNITED STATES AGRicutfURAL
DEPARTMENT.
CORN.

AcREAGE.--The area planted In corn shows
an increase of 3 per cent. In the New Eng
land States the area does not differ materi-
ally from that planted last year. None of
the Atlantic States show any great change
except North Carolina, which reports an in
crease of 3 per cent. OF the s Southern
States, Arkansas shows the greatest gain,
being, as compared with last year, los. Ten
nessee increases per cent aud Mississippi 4.
Or the States north OF the Ohio river,
Ohio and Indiana each show decline of )
per cent. in area planted, while Illinois
shows an increase of per cent. and Wis.,
consin per cent.
The States west of the Mississippi report
large increases as compared with last year,
Iowa being l0i, Kansas ll3, and Nebraska
lis,
CoSpTTIoy.-The average condition OF the
crop for the whole country on July was
93 not so high as last year by per cent.
The returns from the New England States
show low condition, resulting from q late
spring and heavy irosts. The Middle ) iates
report a fair condition except some COM
plaint of drought in PeunSy wanna. The
South Atlantic taies, with the exception of
North Carolina, all report a low condition.
In fact the drought is almost universal in all
the Gulf States. Texas has suffered most
from this cause, and the condition of the
crop is only 63. Arkansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee each report high condition, but
not so high as at the same time last year.
In Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana there is
great complaint of defective seed, conse-
quently much corn had 10 be- repianted, and
the condition on July was lover than the !
previous year. In lliinios the reports are
more favorable, and the condition is very
high, being lO1 against 81 in 1873.
In those States west OF the Mississippi |
river, and where the increase of area plant |
ed was greatest, the condition is reported 1
the highest, being ll3 in Missouri against /
eS last year for the same time; Iowa l07 |
against So, while Kansas aud n nebraska both /
show very high condition.

AT Southern camp-meeting held many
years ago, says the Boston Transcript, were
two ministers who were mutually antago-
nistic. One OF them, Brother DAVIS, had a
wooden leg, and when he was especially
wrought up, would emphasize every word
BY humping it on the platform. During
one of the sessions of the camp-meeting,
when the public tent was crowded, and Bro.
Davis was exhorting with all the energy in
his power, Brother Jones appeared with a
gold headed cane. Pointing ais long. bony
finger at him, Brother Davis exclaimed,

The condition of winter wheat in the

prOvement upon the June report, which
made the average only -. Our first re-
turns for the season gave the average at 9S

was but partially relieved in the West and

appears to be considerably better than last
