THE FLOOD IN NAPoLEoN.-Thursda
last the ice commenced going out of the
river at this point. The river rose rapidly,
flooding the flats, or "Goose Town." to a
depth that was never known before, or at
least for near halfa century. Families in
this quarter of the town were compelled
to vacate their dwellings, and the damage
to property is great in the aggregate. The
bridge had a narrow escape, the only dam
age done to it however was the tearing off
of part of the footwalk, by huge cakes of
ice--from eighteen inches to two foot in
thickness. The ice was the heaviest known
in this section, and we are inclined to be-
lieve the water was the highest; although
there are old citizens who think not, and
they point back to a time some forty years
ago. 1t was grand sight to see the ice
go out and the scene was witnessed by
hundreds OF our citizens.

New LAW FIRMS. NJ. Hague has ta-
ken into law partnership VIM. Fl. Hub
bard, of Buffalo, N. v, as will be seen by
card published elsewhere. Mr.. Hubbard
comes to MS highly recommended, not on
ly as lawyer but an upright man in ev
cry respect. We find him a genial gentle
man, and we hope he may find Napoleon
a pleasant place to live and do business in.
The Ashtabula Ohio Democratic Standard
thus speaks Of Mr.. Hubbard:
"We were agreeably surprised last weels
by a visit from our old friend w, Fl. Huh.
bard, Esq, formerly of this place, but for
some time past resident of Buffalo, N. Y.
Mr.. Hubbard was on his way to the west
ern part of the State,--the name of the
place we cannot remember-with the de-
sign of making permanent location, and
engaging in the practice of his profession.
Mr.. Hubbard IL an able lawyer and those
entrusting cases to him can rest assured
that whatever energy and legal skill can
do to, secure success will be done. AS an
advocate he ranks with the first LAWYERS of
the State. In politics Mr. Hubbard is an
old line Jefiersonian Democrat. In sun
shine and adversely he has ever stood by
the flag first thrown to the breeze by
Thomas Jefferson, and on all proper oc-
easions ready to defend the principles, and
indicate the measures ofthe party found
ed by that statesman and patriot. As an
effective political talker he has but few
eqhals and no superiors in the State. Asa
lawyer we wish Mr.. Hubbard the success
his legal learning and ability merit; and
politically the reward his long attachment
to and fearless advocacy of Democratic
PRINCIPLES entities him to. If he desires
them the highest political honors OF the
State wait his acceptance"

CR0P ESTIMATES

The census report of cereal products though
il embrace, only thc acreage and yield of 1879,
will be regarded ~ highly important. For
nearly ten years. the estimates OF the AgIicu
tural Department have been accepted rs the
only detailed information Obtdinablc as tO the
production of the several States. These osu-
mates, habitually prepared 10y applying reported
percentages of increase or decrease To the csti-
mate OF the previous yield, are unavoidahly
defective, and. since the lnaccuracy of each
year is liable 10 be- continued and mugni6cd in
the estimates of subsequent years, are apt with
lapse of time to become quite unreliable.
Hence the producers and the dealers in grain
have for years regarded the estimates of the
Agricultural Bureau with dstrust, even though
there was no reason to doubt the fidelity or
painstaking zeal of the officials or their assist
ants from whom reports were received. At
times, also. il has been thought that the returns
forwarded 10y local reporters were apt to be coli
orcd 10y their own personal interests or the in
terests of others about them.
The census gives opportunity to correct these
estimates once more. lnasmnch rs IT is based,
not upon gucsses but upon accounts given 10y
the producers of the actual yield during the
previous year, and nasmuch as these accounts
were given after the crop had been marketed,
