prehension as to ripening. Will,
the planting was late and the earl,
season too wet, with drought follow
ing, the average temperature OF th,
summer has been low, making q full
yield an impossibility.
Telegraphic communication witt
State agents show that the recen
frosts have damaged corn north O
the fortieth parallel. The Ohio agent
places the injury in that State at q
per cent. The Indiana agent esti
mates the loss st 10 to 20 in tn,
northern section, and 5 in the mid
die belt. The loss is heavy in Wis
consin and Minnesota. There is al
SO some injury in New York and
Pennsylvania. While the damage
cannot yet be clearly determined, il
is certain that frosts have already re-
duced the general average below so,
though much of the heaviest corn OF
the west is beyond serious injury
The condition of wheat when har
vested" as reported in these returns,
averages SO, which indicates a pro
duct IL per cent, less than the yield
of last year, or loss of 86,000,000
bushels. The crop of oats will be
large, the general average being 80.
The promise for potatoes is good,
being represented by 95, three points
higher than the reported average OF
September, 1882.

BY Westco;. Express agent, who laid
his baud on him and with a rough
shaking demanded to know if he had
any baggage Naturally incensed he
told the man to keep his hands off him,
and expressed his indignation at being
reused in this way and for this purpose.
The man repeated his demand to know
whether be had any baggage in = rough
and bullying tone, as if ne had an Of
6ciai right and was determined to en-
force it. When asked If he did not
know better than to lay his hands on

from sleep, he replied thar it was his
business 10 do so, that he was directed
to do it, tina, passengers had no tu.i-
