Dnsti'u,iDu In Illinois.

Tho Springfield, Illinois, State Journal
has had reporters in southern counties for
the past two weeks. and accounts received
indicate that in Wayne, franklin, Wabash,
Saline, Gallatin, White and some other
counties corn was careely worth harvesting
and wheat practically d failure. The result
is that small farmers and the poorer class
Of tenants were deprived of the means Of
subsistence and have been OBLIGED to sell
their stock, and III some cases their teams,
to buy food. Destitution is found chiefly
among this class Of people. The worst re-
port yet received comes to- day from Saline
county, and says that III this county moth
ing is raised, not even grass. There are
farmers, as well us people who arc
not farmers, who are as near starvation as
they well can come without actually starv-
