WHEAT.

The total wheat crop of the United
States is estimated at 3s7. l12,0 600 bush
els, a decline OF 80 per cent, thus making
a shortage of nearly one.third.
The greatest falling off occurred in
the winter wheat states, which furnish
about ~2l2,000,U00 bushels of the present
crop, the yield OF spring wheat approach.
ing nearer an average. In Michigan
however, which is as far north as winter
wheat is raised, the great crop of 31,26l,-
900 bushels was secured. one of the
largest ever recorded.
1t ia the red winter wheat. of Michigan,
mixed with the No. 1 hard of Dakota,
that they find at the Toledo, Ohio, mills
makes such q superior quality of flour.
The crop of Dakota is placed at 81.
$4,000 bushels, Dakota ranking higher
than California. which is credited with
.26, $4,000 bushels, and among the west
ern states third in the list; Mipnesota,
with 34,2S5,0O bushels, and Iowa with
30,332,000, alone leading her.
The estimate of Mr.. Dodge is a con-
%servative one. He has allowed for the
difference due, as he says, to the revel.
alton of an increase of acreage beyond
previous calculation in 1884.
But the estimate ig still q trife low.
The census crop of 1884 was 3S,177, 900.
bushels, and the decrease in acreage has
hardly been as great as at first reported.
1t is probable that the r of 1885 will
approximate a round 30,000,000 bushels
very nearly. The value of the Dakota
crop of nearly .2S, 100000 bushels is
given at SIT 10000 00, an Average value of
about CD cents per bnshel. which is q
great improvement on the previous
year and means a pretty fair price for
No. ! and No. 2 wheat.

THE EARTHQUAKE.

The earthquake Tuesday night of
last week was felt all over the United
States, but severer in the Southern
States. Charleston, S. c., is where
it did its devastating work, in the de-
struction of buildings and loss of life.
The property lost is estimated from
five to ten million dollars. Two
thirds of the brick buildings, which
constitute two-thirds of the city, will
have to be pulled down. Only three
or four smaller brick buildings we're
absolutely destroyed, shaken down
to the foundation, but as many as
twenty, three-story buildings nave
whole front knocked right out. On
King, East Bay, Meeting and Broad
Streets, two.thirds of the houses are
badly wrecked. The top stories are
on the payements in heaps. The gut
tiers and sides of the streets are filled
with roofs and bricks. st. Michael
is badly wrecked. St. Phillips Epis-
copal Church spire is riddled with
assures. A competent architect says
two-t thirds of fully thousand build
ings will have to be entirely rebuilt.
Nearly all the houses have three
window front, and it is noticeable
that they are all cracked at the sec
ond story and at the middle windows.
The shocks were 50 frequent and
heavy that ten thousand people were
forced to camp in the streets over
night. For twenty-five miles lead
ing out from Charleston, are to be
seen large assures and cracks in the
earth. The sand beIched forth was
Of the very finest grain and white as
snow in many places. In other
places exuded from deep assures
a dark muddy sand, with sui
phurouS odor.
Official total of deaths is 10 and
wounded about 100.

The earthquake on last Tuesday night
caused considerable excitement in our
community The people were so badly
frightened that some of them left their
houses. They were not sensible that it was
an earthquake. The majority of them
thought that it was robbers and drew their
guns, pistols and knives on it, aud were
ready to battle with it, There was one gen
tleman that did not have anything to shoot
and his matches were in the dining room
and he was afraid to 90 after them, -lnless
his wife would 20 with him. There was one
fellow in this community that was willing to
fight his way through fist and skull He
arose from his bed and by this time the door
blew op II, and he exclaimed "You are
