CROP NOTES.
From Various Parts Of the State.
MONROE COUNTY.


Harvesting is in full blast and the
general report is that the wheat crop is
far better than was anticipated a month
ago. As a general thing the wheat is
very thin on the ground, and also very
short, but is reported to be remarkably
well filled. Ii is thought that fully two
thirds of an average crop will be made.
Oats and grass are reported short, but
it is thought very fair crop will be
realized.
Corn is looking very well, and the
prospects OF an average crop are very
encouraging.
The Border Wdtchmdn SAYS: We have
been shown by Mr.. Dow Meredith, who
lives on the Knobs. several heads OF
wheat, which surpass any We have ever
seen. The heads are five to six inches
long, with five and six large grains in
each division. He tells us that most OF
his wheat is like that described above.
We do not remember OF having ever
seen head containing more than four
or five grains in division, and this is Il
good yield.
SUMMERS COUNTY.
The wheat harvest is about over in
this county, and from all we can gather,
the crop is unusually tine as regards
quality, but the yield is not SO great, as
the wheat was thin on the ground,
some of It having been killed by the hard
winter.
wETZEL COUNTY.
QUITE large amount of the wheat in
this vicinity is stacked, and the re-
mainder will be in few days. There
was more wheat raised in this county
this year than in any previous year.
BLAcKBERRIEs have made their APP
pearance in our market. There will be-
full supply.
THE corn crop is doing finely under
the influence ofnumerous showers, aud
while much of il is very small, the pros
pect is good for an average crop.
PLEAsANTs COUNTY.
The wheat crop on the hill land in the
lower part OF this county is about one
half what it was last year. The other
grains are reported about rs in other |
parts of the State: oats poor, and corn
not above the average.

4. q. PORTER,
First Comptroller The Treasury.
The above circular TO United States
Marshals appeared to-day in the Post.
How it was obtained is not stated; but
the failure of other papers, including
the Administration organ here, to notice
il raises the suspicion that the circular
was not '-,tended for general publica-
ton. 1t seems from the last paragraph
OF the circular that Comptroller Porter
has discovered some fund from which
to pay Marshals for fees earned after the
SOth ult. That is to say, for the present
fiscal year, notwithstanding the failure
of the Marshals' fees appropriation. If
he has not discovered such fund, then
the only construction that can be placed
on the circular is that the Comptroller
wants to encourage Marshals to proceed
to contract debts in violation of the stat
ute, under the delusion that there is
money ready in the Treasury to pay
these debts, IN hopes that the Marshals
will proceed to enforce the Election
Laws. II this construction is not the
proper one, then there is cat in the
meal tub somewhere. Else why is this
circular directed only TO Marshals?
Why this tender solicitude for Marshals
when the fees of other Court officers are
in arrears from the failure OF the Def
cheney Bill?
Circular TO Marshals.
WASHINGTON, July IA circular
prepared by the Attorney-General is
now in the hands OF the printer, TO be
issued in day or so, setting forth that
the Judicial Appropriation Act for the |
present fiscal year itemizes all the court |
expenses. The different items will be
quoted and directions given to marshals |
to make their acquisitions in accord |
Herewith. The circular will caution
these officers against applying the money
received for one grade service To an
other grade. Judging from the infOrma-
ton received at the Department OF JUS
tee up to date, the United States mar
shals inrend to proceed with the duties
OF their offices, and undoubtedly antici-
pate a reimbursement by Congress.

the suffering poor of Ireland. The
meeting was held in Robinson's Opera
House. 1t was called to order by Hon.

a recently organized society called the
Irish Aid Society. Hon Mayor Jacobs
was made President; Capt. E. ON.

JOS. P. Carberry, Judge Mallon and
others. The following resolutions were
read and adopted:
WHEREAS, Authentic information has reached
this city that great distress now exists in sew
eral districts of Ireland, caused mainly by the
failure of The crops and the oppressive system
of land tenure and
WHEREAS, The citizens of this republic sym
pathize with those of all nations who, through
any cause, are suffering for want of the proper
necessaries of life, therefore, be it
Resolved, That this meeting deeply sympa-
thize with the people of Ireland in their pres
emit distress, and we hereby pledge ourselves
to render them 'all the assistance in our
power.
Resolved, That we also recognize the fact
that the present distress is owing to no wan
of industry on their part, nor fertility in thu
soil, but mainly to the oppressive and unjust
land laws which deprive the people of the vel,
earned fruits of their honest toll.
Resolved, That as citizens of this republic
sympathizers with suffering, and friends o
freedom in every land, we hereby extend Il
the Irish people our warmest wishes for tn
success of their efforts to obtain for themselves
more equitable laws, and especially the right
of self government.

China.

At the departure of the children of
Israel from Egypt, China was 700 years
old; and when Isaiah prophesied of her
she had existed fifteen centuries. She
has seen the rise and decline of all the
great nations of antiquity. Assyria,
Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
have long since followed each other to
the dust; but China still remains, a sol
itary and wonderful monument of patri-
archal time. Then look at the popula-
ton of the country, roughly estimated
at 400,000,000, ten times the population
of the United States, more than thirteen
times the population of Great Britain
and Ireland. Every third person that
lives and breathes upon this earth and
beneath these heavens is a Chinese

The Best Way to Cheer Up

If you are a respondent invalid, is to grow
stronger. This you can do if you will take a
piece of advice which has the weight Of high
medical authority to back it. That is to use
the standard invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters specially commended and Endorsed by
physicians. Among the bodily troubles
which it overcomes are dyspepsia, ~irregular;ty
of the bowels, liver complaint, general debil-
ity and nervous complaints. 1t is also found
very useful in counteracting a tendency Ia
weakness or disorder of the kidneys and
bladder, and persons troubled with rheuma-
tism strongly indorse it as a remedy. Its in
fuence upon the entire system is highly bene-
fetal, promoting as it does the return of sleep
and appetite, and the acquisition of flesh
and strength. A silent reproof of the folly
of nauseous drug medication is conveyed ia
the success of this pleasant and effective
botanical medicine.

its former relations to gold, or at least approach

Saturday afternoon a boiler at the
lath and shingle works of Woods &
Reynolds, Carrollton, near Est Sagi-
nav, Mich, exploded, wrecking the
boiler-room, driIl-house and a small
shed in front of the boiler-house. The
chimney, e~ighty-fve feet high, was c,m-
pletely demolished. One portion Of the
boiler was blown 200 feet into the river;
the other portion lodged 100 feet in the
opposite direction. Edward Rackapan,
one of the fremen, was in the boi.er-
room, and was blown through the build
ing into the river, $50 feet dist ant. He
was helped out, and walked to mis- home,
three eighths of a mile distant, but will
probably die from his injuries. Frank
Robinson's injuries are slight. Cyrus
Burr, a fireman, received injuries which
will probably cause the loss of his
sight. even if he survives. Jean Bap-
tiste Pettel, who was at work outside,
was buried under the ruins, and his
mangled body was not reached until
after dark, a large gang of men having
worked for five hours in removing the
debris.

Tt is impossible to predict what will
result from the present investigation
into the cause which led to the recent
outbreak among the Utes. 1t is no
than probable that Gen. Adams
will demand the surrender Of at least a
half dozen Indians, and should Chief
Ouray be unable to control his people
sufficiently to surrender them, the matter
will be regarded as a signal for war.
The Utes hold at present 12,e00.0 900
