report issued from the Office of the Sec
rotary of State on March LIST, made up
of returns from 1,041 crop correspond
ents representing $50 townships, of
which 649 returns were from 426 town
ships in the southern four tiers Of cOun-
ties. The estimates, almost without ex-
eeptiOn, show the condition of wheat,
the condition of cattle and sheep and
the prospect for apples and peaches, bet
ter than one year ago. In only three
cOunties-Alpena, Delta and Gladwin--
do the wheat prospects seem to be less
promising. The total area in these
counties in May, 1881, was only S21 acres.
The condition of wheat i'm the southern
four tiers Of counties is estimated at
from ~ per cent better in st. Clair to
al per cent better in st. Joseph county.
where the crop in 1881 was almost to-
tai failure. The average for the 90
counties in the southern four tiers is 43
per cent, and for the entire state 80 per
cent, better than OIL March 1, 1881.

dollars have been submitted, and that
the expenses did not include simply such

THE board of trustees appointed by the
Governor of New York has issued little
pamphlet, prepared by j. T. Headley,
giving reasons for celebrating in 1883
the centennial of the disarmament of the
continental army at Washington's head
quarters in Newburgh, on the Hudson.
The quaint old stone house which Wash
ingtOn occupied for more than year
and a half after the capture OF Yorktown,
with its odd rooms, one of which contains
seven doors and bnt one window, is now
owned by the state CT New York, and
around this building, which stands just as
Washington left it, empty save of revolu-
tlonary relics and surrounded by cannon
gathered from almost every battlefield

the celebration take place.
A communication from the Secretary
of War transmitting estimates of the
number Of persons made destitute by

1900; Illinois, 1000; Kentucky, 800; Ten
nessee, 5000; Mississippi, 10000; Arkan-
sas, 10000; Louisiana, $4,000. RatiOns

already made is sufficient to purchase

The supply would be exhausted in Arkan-
sas, Mississippi, and Louisiana about
the 21st. No estimate can be made of
the time during which the nece ssity for
Congressional aid will continue. No
further demands are expected from ILL
nOis and Kentucky but from Missouri,
Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, the
department has information the necessi
ty for subsistence will continue for a
period variously estimated at from thir
ty to sixty days. The department has
no information from Louisiana, but it
is thought it may be placed on the same
category as Mississippi.
