Condition of the Wheat.

CINCINNATI, March 21.-The Cincinnati
Price Current will publish tomorrow an
elaborate report of the condition of the wheat
crop throughout the winter-wheat belt of
the West. comparison with the condition
last year, which is placed at 100, shows the
present condition. as follows: Ohio So, In
diana, 80; Illinois, co. Missouri, SO; Kansas,
81; Michigan, &c. Kentucky, 70; Tennessee,
Sc. The winter-wheat sections of Wisconsin
promise well, the general average being about
10 per cent. below last year. The spring
wheat sections in Minnesota, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Nebraska show no essential change
in area, compared with last year. The Price
Current notes that the impairment in the
winter-wheat prospect may be modified or
made worse by future favorable or unfavor-
able weather. 1t is hardly reasonable to
look for a crop equal to last years. The
estimates of this years crop will fall below
45O 900, 900 bushels, or So, 100000 bushels less
than last year.

The End of a Sensational Society Drama.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
COLUMBUS March 21.-Another, and prob
ably the last, act in a sensational society
drama was played here yesterday. About
three years ago, Dr. T. J. Council died, leav-
ing rather young and pretty widow, with a
handsome property The widow was quite a
favorite, and soon had a number of appli-
cants for the place made vacant by the de-
ceased husband. last summer she made an
extended visit to Iowa, and while there
much to the surprise of her friends, married
a Mr. VIM. Griffin, whom she had only met
n few times previously Griffin was a man
of good address and fine appearance, such as
any woman might admire, On their return
to this city trouble soon arose and
separation followed. They went to
an attorney, and had a contract drawn up
agreeing to separate, andabsolving each other
from all blame The story given to the pub
lie was, that on returning to the familiar
scenes of her old home she was struck with
remorse for her hasty action in remarrying,
and her feelings underwent total revulsion
toward her husband which she could not
overcome, and she declared that he must
leave He did leave, and has not been heard
of since and for the time the gossips enjoyed
a rich feast 1t soon became known that
there were other reasons for the trouble than
those assigned, and a few weeks ago Mrs
Griffin applied for divorce, alleging cruel
less kind, such as might well have turned
her love to disgust The evidence would
have afforded a feast for the bald-heads, but
1t was heard in private, and Judge Carr
promptly granted the divorce, which forever
frees the lady from the man whose beastly
behavior in few weeks drove her to the
verge of insanity.
