NEW ALBANxs July 6.-Reports received
from Floyd, Harrison, Crawford, Dubois,
Orange, Washington, and Clark counties
are to the effect that owing to the rainy
and hot weather the wheat standing in
shocks in the field Is sprouting, the
sprouts on much Of it being three or four
inches lsng, while that in the stacks has in
many places nodded. For three weeks
the rains have been frequent and heavy,
always followed by hot, sultry weather.
This condition OF the weather has near
ly ruined the oats crop In many localities,
breaking down the standing grain, as well
as causing 1t TO rust.
On the low, fiat lands the corn crop has
been badly drowned out. On the high
lands, however, corn looks well and is do
ing finely. The grass crop will be very
heavy.
Early peaches are being marketed by
the growers in this part Of the State. The
crop will be large one, but the long con-
tinued wet weather is deteriorating the
flavor OF the fruit The apple crop Is an
immense one. Pears not more than one.

Liberia Pointed out rs the True Home

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Rev. DR.. Blyden,
President OF Liberia College, Africa, and
Minister to England from that Republic,
preached yesterday in the Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church. Among those
present were the President and Mrs.
Hayes, Hon. Fred. Douglass, and Hon.
John Il. Smith, United States Minister to
Liberia. DR.. Blyden is middle aged
man, of coal black complexion, indicating
the full blooded negro. His discourse
commanded the attention Of all his
hearers. He took for his text Ethiopia
shall soon stretch out her hands to God"
His theme was Africa and the African
race. He rapidly sketched the history OF
Africa and the story Of her people. He
devoted especial attention to Liberia, her
past, present, and future, showing that q
great future was opening there for the
colored race. He argued also in favor Of
colonization, holding that Liberia was the
place for the colored man to seek home,
and expressing the opinion that among
the white people, except in some individ.
ual cases, the men OF the black race could
never become prominent,

NEW York, July 6.-Among the curiosi.
ties Of suicide was that Of Charles Bur.
bach, Prussian, employed in cigar
mandatory here. Eleven years ago he
quarreled with Louis Mayhes, also a Ger
man, who then lived in the same house
with him. Although working in the
factory their quarrel never healed, and
the two men never spoke to each other.
Whenever Bubach entered the room where
Mayhes was the latter would whistle q
verse which in English would read: "You
are crazy my child, you must 60 TO Ber.
lin." Bubach was so tormented by this
insulting tune that he went home and told
his father he meant to destroy himself TO
escape his persecution. The father and
wife tried to calm him, but he walked out
OF the house, bought a bottle OF oxolie
acid, and returning drank 1t in the hallway,
expiring before medical help could reach
him. He had been annoyed greatly by
this offensive tune for the last two months,
and brooded over the wrong to him until
he lost his mind.

Tho Frenzy That Nominated Hancock.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Mr. W. L. Royal,
one Of the Virginia delegates to the Gin
cinnati Convention, has published letter
since his return home, in which he says
he has been opposed to the nomination Of
q soldier, and never did give his assent to
the selection OF Gen. Hancock until he had
received votes enough to nominate him.
He says: 'sThe Louisiana banner, bearing
the Generals portrait, being brought to
the stand and waved in the face Of the
Convention caused the nomination. A
frenzy seized every delegate. Every one
thought it indicated that he was nomi-
mated, whereas helacked $50 votes. Every
one was in hurry to have his vote
for Hancock. Bat for this singu-
ar coincidence / do not believe Mr.. Ham
,ock would have been nominated"
And further, "The whole enormous mass
of human beings was absolutely mad.
There was no sense, no reason, no judg.
nent anywhere"

LONDON, July cit is stated that the
first writ served on Bradlaugh for voting
in the House OF Commons was made out
prior to the time when he voted, and may
be vacated If he wishes, and that Sec
