CHICAGO, Aug 26.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin has replies from cores
pondents from $50 counties in the
northwest from August 10th, to the
present time, as to the condition and
prospect of the corn crop. The re-
suit is discovered that the stories of
the drought have been much exag-
gerated, and that the frequent sho "
ers of the past few days will doubt
less remedy great part of the evil
from drought. The crop will
certainly be a large average, the
damage being confined to the mar
now limits in some districts. The
crops will be the largest on record.
This is true Of Iowa. The sum
mary shows that 25 counties report
the condition as poor, 54 report it
fair, 100 good, G2 excellent. I'LL
nois, the largest corn state, reports
5 poor, 10 fair, 13 good, Z excel

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The House of
Commons remained in continuous
session all night and during the
morning, and did not adjourn till 1
o'clock this afternoon.
The debate in the House of Com
mons, which began last night, con-
tinued until l o o'clock this afternoon.
Lord Harrington repeatedly urged
the Irish members to proceed to the
consideration Of the vote of supply,
assuring them that they much mis-
take if they have thought to wiring
pledges from the government by OBJ
structing the supply. Notwithstand-
ing this appeal, the discussion was
kept up by E. Dwyer Gray, member
for county Carlow, and others. A
motion to report progress was mega
tived by vote of 142 to 20, when
ODonoghue, member for Tralee,
moved an adjournment, which was
negatived.
At 4:15 Mr.. Parnen renewed the
motion for adjournment. Lord Har-
tington objected and said the vote
on the Irish constabulary had been
down for three nights. The Irish
members instead of proceeding with
it had raised discussion ON other
matters. at S a. m. Alexander Suli
van, member for Louth, was speak.
ing in justification of the procedure
of the Irish members. Sullivan
spoke for nearly an hour Parnel
again suggested adjournment and
absolved himself from all blame fol
the present sta 5e of affairs, which he
said is the result of Lord Harting
tons headstrong course. .-
At 12:15 p. m. Lord Harrington
accepted the proposal of Parnel
that the other Irish estimates bt
voted to night and the. constabulary
estimates on Monday. The house
then adjourned to meet again at 8
p. NJ.

FEVER.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, Aug. 81
The cause of the recent breaking out
of fever on the United States steam
er Portsmouth, which vessel is now
at the navy yard here, has been dis
covered to have proceeded from
defective pipe connections whereby
waste matter, instead of passing off
through the proper channel, was car
ried between the decks and there
lodging where for months, it is al
legged, it has remained. Immediately
on the discovery of this a considera-
leportion of the planking was taken
up, and yesterday one of the steam
fire engine, belonging to the yard,
was employed to wash out and other
wise purify between the decks.

assisted by Rev. G. L. Brown, of Warm
Springs. number were added to the
church. This church is situated about
one mile south of Fishersvlle. Serv-
ices are conducted every Sabbath, and
often among the worshippers we are glad to
notice some Of the citizens of Staunton.
Every since our present minister has been
the shepherd of this flock, the church has
been prospecting. It is now one of the
wealthiest churches OF the Presbytery, if not
the ''banner church." During the summer
there ale in the Sabbath school, under the
direct supervision of the church, about three
hundred scholars, some two hundred of
whom are also scholars at the SC hool of the
church. The people of Herm itage are pre-
pairing to build a church, in connection with
Thinking Spring, and it is very much needed,
there being no house of worship nearer than
six or seven miles. A portion of our choir,
which has been at Fairfield assisting at a
musical concert, mas returned, very much
elated with their trip, the people, the con-
cert, the neighborhood, SC. The &c., of
course, with the boys means the girls, and
with the girls means the boys. There is
concert on foot by the choir OF this church
which will, no doubt, be carried into effect.
Personal, SCI must not neglect to eulo-
gize the ladies Of our neighborhood. We GER
tainly have some fair specimens of the fair
sex. They are noted for their beauty and
intelligence, and we very willingly extend
most cordial invitation to the young Stan
tonians to come down and form the &C.
quaintanee of some Of our bellies. OF course
there will soon be one less Of our fair dam
sells, for ''the parson'' has just purchased
buggy, and no doubt will soon emigrate to
the state of matrimony.
Mr.. c. R. Zirkle, one OF our energetic
farmers, recently killed eight hogs that were
