June Report of the Department Of Ag-
rIculfurP.

r1cu1turP-
I 2 WASHINGTON June IO.-The June crop
report of the department OF agriculture rep
resents the entire area of 1851 OF the principal
counties of the United States, and includes
sill but a small fraction of the breadth OF the
prominent crops. The area in cotton is p. 10
per cent. less than in 1881. 4 large number
Of returns say that with the recent fine
weather cotton is improving, and gives some
assurance oil a better report IN July. The
largest deficiency is in the States bordering
ON the Mississippi river, where planting in
the overlooked district WAS not entirely fin
ished the 1st OF June. The area sown in
sbring wheat has decreased apparently about
II per cent. The comparative average OF
the Northwest is as follows: Wisconsin So,
Minnesota S3, Iowa 50, Nebraska 90, Dakota
ID2. The condition of the winter wheat is
sill very high, averaging 100 per cent. Last
year in June it was 76 per cent. Taking the
I winter and spring areas together, and az
suming continuance of the present
conditions, the yield at once exceeding
Is bushels per acre would result, and the
: aggregate be exceeded only by the product OF
1880. The Southern harvest is safe. North
ern winter wheat has few risks to encounter,
bat spring is still an uncertain quantity.
The corn acreage cannot be given until
July. A large increase in area is reported
in the South and in the Northwest, but in
, half the States planting was not finished by
June lst, and in large districts the plant had
made no show above ground. In parts Of
the South the early planted is in tassel.
Planting is everywhere late. The plant is
small and not of average vigor or color, in
consequence of cold and wet weather. The
increase in area of oats is almost universal,
and amounts to an average of per cent.

SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
Married Life al a Frontier Post, as Re.
lated by the Defendant i'm
Her Answer.

New YORK, June lO.-Csptain Willard f.
Goodwin, United States army, some time ago
brought suit in the Supreme Court for an
absolute divorce from his wife, Kate B.
Goodwin, 20 whom he was married in
November, 1876, at Fort Selden, New Mexico
Mrs. Goodwin is charged with various acts
OF inhdelity, and the referee appointed in
the Gaze some time ago reported in favor
OF granting divorce to the plaintiff. Judge
Lawrence, however, refused to confirm the
report, the testimony being unsatisfactory
The case came before Judge Lawrence yes
terday upon a motion ON behalf of Mrs
Goodwin for an allowance for counsel fees
and direction that she be allowed
pending the action, to see her child Clarence
ID. Goodwin, who is now in charge of its
paternal grandmother. The defendant de-
MES the charges made against her, except as
to Mr.. Henderson, to whom she says she
was introduced by her husband, with the
assurance that he was Trustworthy gentle
man under whose guidance she was to act;
that he brought her to what he represented
to be tirst-class boarding house in Ninth
street, and the same evening she ac-
companied him to theater. On their
return he brought two bottles OF wine with
him, and at the house induced her to drink
wine from one OF them, which was already
uncorked. She almost Immediately became
unconscious, and on regaining her senses she
fled from the house at O'Clock in the morn
ing and went TO the residence OF her hus-
bands mother in Brooklyn, to whom she told
the whole story. She subsequently learned
that the house To which she had been taken
was one OF i'll repute. Mrs. Goodwin, in her
affidavit, makes counter-chsrges against her
husband. He was graduated, she says, in
1872 at West Point, and was assigned to duty
at Fort Selden, where she WAS living with
her father, Major M. p. Buffum. She
was twenty years old when they were mar
ried, and had no knowledge of her husbands
habits OF gambling and love Of strong drink
She asserts that he treated her cruelty,
kicked and bruised her legs with his boots,
and struck her in the face with his ring and
clenced hand so as to discolor her eyes. She
charges that when they came to this city
from the West he told her that if she did
not consent TO let him have a divorce he
would kill her. Judge Lawrence reserved
his decision upon the motion, remarking
that the evidence thus far taken, which was
that of two detectives who claimed to have
traced the defendant TO hotel in company
with strange man, appeared to him very
unsatisfactory. H..

The bishop Of Melbourne has only linn
tied faith in prayer. He was recently asked
to frame a special prayer for rain, but, TO
the astoniahment of the colony, he very
fatty refused. Changes in the weather, he
said, "are the result of unwavering natural
laws, and prayer was an agency more fitted
for securing spiritual blessings than material
needs. 1t would be much wiser if people set
themselves 10 utilize the water which they
now allow to flow to waste into the sea than
to content themselves with praying to be de-
livered from the consequence of their own
neglect" OF course there is a howl all over
the colony from the 'sOodly Cody" who
believe that the Almighty especially attends
to every personsl defire, and suspends His
laws to suit the whims, desires, preiudices
and often passions Of petitioners.
