CONDITION OF WINTER GRAIN.

Depression In Prices of Corn and Oats
Does Not Affect Wages of Farm, Labor.
The official report ofthe condition of Winter
grain makes ii reduction of one point in wheat
the average being so. The rye average IS
maintained, being 955; barley, SIG. The az
eragcs Of condition of wheat for the States OF
principal production are as follows: New
York, o.; Pennsylvania, 96; Ohio 81, Michi-
gan, 10; Indiana, 63; Illinois, G.; Missouri, g;
Kansas 81; California, 50; Oregon, 95. The
Southern States producing wheat; Maryland,
rs: Virginia 90; North Carolina, 50; Georgia,
G5 Texas, 81; Tennessee, 50.
An investigation of the wages of farm labor
has been made. The monthly rate of wages
has not declined. Compared with the last
previous report, that of May, 1858, theaverage
for the country is unchanged, though slight
local fluctuations are reported. A scarcely
uppreciahle increase appears in the Eastern
and Middle States, and there is slight in
crease in Virginia. There is slight reduc-
ton of the rates of the Pacific coast region,
which are still relatively high. Throughout
the central areas, North and South, the avera-
ges are practically the same as two years ago.
1t is evident that the depression in prices of
corn and oats and their products has not afiec-
ted the wages of agricultural labor.

Child md Commits Suicide.
Constantine Schaeffer, q farmer of Chester,
Mimi, murdered his wife and child, boy of

vers, II dirk knife. bottle of srychnine and
package of vernln poison. These he con-
cealed in bureau and went TO bed as usual,
Next morning he arose earlier than was his
wont, and, after having started the fire in the
kitchen, called his wife and his hired man,
The latter went ut once TO the barn. but re-
turned Immediately to the house on hearing
the floor of the room. III sd streaming from
a terrible wound l.. - mead She did not
speak, and died in few minutes. 4 blood
stained axe leaned against the casing of the
door.
Schaefer had disappeared and shrill cry
from child told that he was committing a
second murder. The hired man sprang up
the stairway and grappled with Schaeffcr, but
he was too late ie child's throat was cut
from eur to ear ;hacffer then threw off the
man, ran down s Jirs and seized bottle of
strychnine, TAXI, 6 from it heavy dose. I'M
mediately afterward he took UP Il revolver
and blew out his brains.
The cause of the tragedy is unknown.
Schaetler was an exceptionally prosperous
farmer Il man of a high degree OF intelligence,
and his relations with his family and his
ncighbors were believed to he pleasant. For
the past fortnight, however, he had been suf-
lering from an acute attack of neuralgia, and
is believed to have become insane.
