The death rate in the city Of Wheeling
Last year compares much moro iavotably
with the rate In foreign cities than with
many Of the American cities. II was

1854, the rate ran up to 596S, notwlth

We continue to hear very encouraging
reports from the surrounding country in
regard to the outlook Of the growing wheat
crop. The acreage is large, the color good
and the stand very satisfactory. There is
very little Of it injured by "heavIng" and
root, breaking since the SNOW went of in
the early part Of the month. The danger
from ground freezing and heaying Is not
over yet, but it is, however, seldom that
wheat is injured in this way after the
month Of March. The fair probabilities
are that this region will be favored with
another excellent crop. The reports from
the VEST are only tolorsble-sOme ofIhem
quite mixed-but inasmucn Rs itseems to
be a chronic habit at this season OF the
year to indulge in, iorebodiugS in regard to
the agricultural outlook, we see no reason
to conclude tina; the country generally will
not have plenty OF wheat this year
plenty for home consumption and export
abroad. Tne prospect for fruit of all kinds
is sad to be generally good in the West.

The British Tenant Farmers.

The British landlord is grumbline
at his falling rents. The tenant farm
er was always grumblng; he is now
despairing. The laborer is still, as he
always was, dull, stolid, Indifferent.
His only hope is in emigration. He
has better education than the French
peasant, though by no means SO good
as the German-and yet look at the
difference between them. These have
been awakened to new life by the
magic OF property The English
laborer is but chattcl on the soil he
tills. The tenant farmer is wearing
his heart out in the vain struggle to
force a subsistence from another mans
land, and, i'll the face Of foreign COM
petition swelling like a rising flood
against him, is travelling road whose
end is the court OF bankruptcy.-Lon-
