The corn crop we fear has been some

But refreshing rains lave conne tins

greatly revived, and the face Of the
planter W airing Il smile that is CHARM

II is our private opinion, however,
based upon large experience in farm
ing. and carcltd observation of the
crop, that the corn of our county has
suffered more from want of work at
the proper time and sufficient in a.
mount and for want Of thinning, than
from dry weather. we Will never
make large crops of corn again, unless
we fcrtiIizc more, pillow deeper, hill

sometime since give an opinion lore
shadowing this result.
The question is ut local interest since
the law in question was specially cited
bv private teachers here to draw schol-
airs from the Franklin Academy to pri-
vate schools. aud the result was quite
a falling of in the attendance at the
public schools. The Supreme court
holds properly that public moneys can
30 10 the public schools alone, and il is
only surprising that any intelligent leg
islator or citizen could have thought
otherwise.

intoxicated stock market to sober one, and as
events proved the latter bore off the blue ribbon
Cautiously this column has for many days back dis

advance invited but in the rearing, tearing clamor
for higher prices they have been measurably disre

exultant bulls who could possibility OF . de-
cline. tho opinion expressed to the contrary has
proved true one, is demonstrated by the sudden
and very material falling of in values to-day. Almost
without exception the active list shows loss ct the
end Of tho session Of from to per cent from open
ing prices. The greatest decline occurred in the
st. Paul common stock. the least in Erie and Michi-
gan Central. Between these two ranged the rest Of
the list with quotations all lower but sufficiently
div ersifed to meet the most fastdious of bearish
tastes. The decline, though well established, was
rather Of the nature of natural reaction than Of
