! WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE
November corn report of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture is of similar
tenor with preceding returns. The
planting was later and replanting
more general than for several years
The prospect up to July was dis
couraging, causing a sharp rise in
values of grain and meats. Since
that date the season has been steadi-
ly favorable to growth and ripening,
and deferred frosts have made the
growing period of fully averaged length
Inc condition on July l, averaged
S5; it VAS 50 in August: the same
in September, and 81 in October,
presaging a loss of over 450,000,000
bushels, which was fully realized.
The present returns of yield make
a general average close to 25 bushels
per acre, which is under a medium
yield, confirming the prediction of
September that the ''heavy produc
ton of 1879 and 1880 cannot be ap-
preached under the most favorable
circumstances. which was 2S 1-10
in the census year, while the average
yield OF ten years to 1880 was nearly
q bushels.
The quality of the crop is superior
I throughout the South. 1t falls be-
low the standard 100in only eighteen
States and Territories; only one
point below in Michigan two in
Ohio three in Nevada five in Indiana.

sey; eight in Colorado; nine in New
York ten in Rhode Island and New
Mexico; fifteen in New Hampshire

Charlie Royer, Sheriff of Grand Co.
W. T., while hunting last week, in Eg-
eria Park, had close call from being
captured by grizzly bear. The day
! before Charlie and his brother had kill
ed a couple of deer, and on going up
from camp the next morning to pack in
the deer they found nearly half of one
of the deer eaten up aud the remain
ing half and the whole had been cached.
Snow being on the ground :hey tracked
the grizzly to his lair The boys on
finding him, opened volley of shots
from their rifles upon him, none of
which proved fatal. The bear made
tracks at lively rate for distance Of
three miles. his pursuers following
closely IN his wake. When they first
saw him, be yes not over 10 or l 5 yards
distant higher up the mountain, sitting
in pool of water. charlie immediate
ly fired at his head, but the shot took
effect too low and succeeded only in
breaking his jaw, which under the cir
cumstances that followed proved very
fortunate and probably saved the hun
ter's life. As quick as he had fired
Charlie slipped another cartridge into
his rife aud at the same time the bear
gave terrible rosr and bounded to-
wards him. Three leaps brought him
nearly within reach OF the end of the
rifle, which Charlie had again aimed,
but the cartridge missed FIRE aud the
next second the bear jumped on him
and knocked him some s or 10 feet
down the hill. While these movements
