Scott County, Illinois.

see by the REGISTER that drouth
prevails in Iron county, but you could
hardly bear such spell as we are hav-
ing away up here in Gods country"
On the last Saturday in June 1t rained
nearly all night, a steady rain, without
wind or bluster, and over wide stretch
of county; that was the last we have
had. All July passed without a single
shower, and so far we have had moth
ing in August. The registered rainfall
for forty years shows steady decrease
from year taken with year but table
made Of the rainfall in the months
when we need it most would make q
worse showing still.
Wheat was a good crop-better than
the price. Oats were fair, but from
having too much rain just after sowing
and then too little after, they were
short, often too short to cut, except
with mower. Corn still slowly grows
and early planting is shooting. but the
tassel dies as fast as it puts out and al
together the chances are for q lighter
crop than known for many years be-
fore. Small fruit was abundant. We
had strawberries galore for all who
raised them. Then the sweet, juicy
scarlet red raspberry, the Turner's
Seeding, the staple kind here, all we
could use and scuds to give away until
blackberries came in, the crop of which
was unusually large. 1t is the fashion
here to post notices or publish warn
ing in local papers for all pickers to
keep out of your timber or wood-lot,
and one man gathered over 40 bushels
of wild ones in a lot thus reserved.
Honey too was abundant, your writer
having between two or three tons on
hand now.
In politics we are having the lull
before the storm. We had any num-
Der of candidates before the party COLI
ventions, but as they canvassed the
county pretty thoroughly before their
nomination, they are giving it rest
now.
The towns are dull and to catch a
lew pcuUISS arc dlIduSinS
picnics, &c, anything to get q crowd
together, a crowd that can be "worked
for all it is WORTH" Meantime the
country goes from bad to worse, for
high rents and low prices for produce
are sure to sap the prosperity first, of
farm laborers, and then Of all other
laborer. In short, the condition OF
things in general is such as to cause
general dissatisfaction and discomfort;
and unless Congress or somebody else
shows more common sense and less
imbecilty in legislation we shall be
driven into revolution.
While writing several showers are
passing on all sides of us, but they COW
er comparatively small areas.

NUMBER 6. At LOW PRICES.

But the Crimean war had taught
Russia that before her ideas could be
realized the attention of England and
France must be drawn in another di.
rection. Their concern in American
complications afforded an opportunity
to do this.
A community of interests between
Russia and the United States led to
unity of action and resulted in treaty.
offensive and defensive, to last thirty
years.
Russia donated Alaska and we paid
her seven millions for the use of a large
fleet. Two hundred thousand dollars
went into the privy purse of the Em-
peror under the head ofprivate claims.
When the treaty became known,
England. France and Spain left the
Southern Confederacy and Maximilian
to their fate, and, freed from the fear Of
foreign Intervention, the Federal Gov
eminent began to Systematically crush
the Confederacy. Hitherto the efforts
had been sporadic and desultory.
The gist of the whole thing was this:
Russia proposed to let France, Englnnd
and Spain become deeply involved
with the United States and then she
would come in and take Turkey aud
cut the British Empire in two.
But for that treaty England would
never have paid the Alabama Claims.
If was going to hunt up all the
documents in the case I would look in
the library Of the late Hon. Albert
Todd of st. Louis. He was the only
man known to me in Missouri who
was posted on the facts. The exist
ence of this treaty is to-day the key
both to European and American poll
tics. Take it out of the way and the
balance of power in Europe is assured.
and with hope of foreign Intervention
in three years we will have another re-
hellion.
Let it stand and be renewed and Eu-
ropean politics will 60 to pieces and
the Union will stand. The National
Administration has only as yet had to
deal with questions of internal policy
and is doing wisely.
will rest through the Dog Days.

Collision of Freight Trains

Trains on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad were delayed some hours Mon
day morning By wreck and blockade
near the Point of Rocks, caused by the
running Of one freight and stock train
into the rear of freight train which 1t
was following. Both were bound east
ward. The accident occurred in round

did not perceive the lights Of the train
In advance of him until he was too close
to check up without colliling. His en-
CINE, No. 52S, was badly damaged, and
three cars Of his train were demolished.
Three or four cars OF the advance train
were also wrecked. Two of the latter
contained horses, fourteen of which
were killed. and four or five badly in
jured. Coal oil was the contents of an
other of the cars, and it was nearly all
lost. The owner Of the horses was
in the caboose asleep, but fortunately
for him his car was merely lifted up aud
turned over, and although he WAS rem
dered unconscious for a while by the
Earring he received he was not o.her-

Swooned In the Pulpit.

A large congregation attended
church near Smyrna, Kentucky, on
Sunday, in which the Rev. Downey
Blair. of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, WAS preaching. a few days
ago the telegraph bore dispatch from
some point in Kansas ie the newspapers
over the country containing an account
of the slaughter of his family by one
John Blair, and the subsequent hang
ing of Blair by the Infatuated citizens.
The particulars of the tragedy were
briefly told at the time, but, as the Rev.
Mr.. Blair lives in a secluded quarter,
he never saw paper or heard OF the
occurrence. 1t appears that he had
son John in Kansas, who he supposed
was living quietly with his family and
prospecting finely. While engaged on
his sermon messenger boy arrived at
the church and rushing wildly up to
the pulpit attracted the minister's at
tention by waving sealed envelope at
him. The minister stopped short in his
discourse, opened and read the message,
and then, swooning, fell to the floor as
if he had been shot. This causel the
widest excitement in the congregation.
Members rushed forward, and finally
succeeded in carrying the PROSTATE
minister TO fresh air. When he was re-
yiyed il was learned that the missive
contained news that the John Blair
men .ioned in the dispatches alluded to
from Kansas was the Rev. Mr.. Blair's

Tax ON B. and o. Bridges.

Judge Jackson, of the L. 5. District
Court for West Virginia, recently gran
ted temporary injunction against the
State officers and sheriffs of Wood and
Marshall counties, w. Va, to prohibit
them from the collection Of State and
county taxes on the Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad bridges across the Ohio at
Parkersburg and Benwood. The ques-
tions raised by the pleading involved
the right of the State of West virginia
to tax these two bridges as independent
subjects of taxation. The claim OF the
company is that they are not indepen-
dent subjects of taxation, but are part
and portion of continuous line OF
railroad belonging TO the company, ana
are only liable To taxation rs part oil
that railroad, like any other bridge on
the line. The company further contends
that inasmuch as the Ohio now is Il na-
tional highway, under the control and
jurisdiction of the government OF the
United States, neither the State of West
Virginia nor any other State on the Dor
ders Of the river has right TO impose
a tax Oh a bridge built under an act OF
Congress. The motion to make the IN
junction perpetual was to have been
argued at Parkersburg this week, but
Judge Jackson continued the hearing OF
the appeal until the June term, when II
will be heard before all three Judges
Chief Justice Waite, Circuit Judge Bond
and district Judge Jackson. The amount
of money involved is very large, no taxes
ever having 9een paid by the railroad
company on these bridges since they
