A telegram dated Toledo, O., 2, says: Seventeen hundred reports, covering every important wheat county in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, and Missouri say the present prospects of the growing crop are very favorable in Indiana, Missouri, llinois and Ohio, fair to good in Michigan, and poor in Kan- sas. All show an important improve. ment since the recent rains, The pros pect average even better than two years ago. The area sown is larger than the amount harvested on last crop, Re- serves of old wheat moderate, but Mich- igan has over one-fourth of last crop re- roining. Half of the farmers are dis posed to sell. Country roads bad. Lewis Linder, » tai'or, of Altoona. who povgesaed a fino development of chest, offiired to allow any one to strike him « bicw with full force on that portion of the bady. This challenge was acospted amd a blow adwiniste fa his dewth soon afiurward, and found the old gentleman as hale and fresh as though his years scored 65 instead of 88. His intellect is clear, with speech fluent in conversation. The Gen- eral repeated incidents of travel through this valley, years ago and was a lodger at Earlystown and Old Fort hotels, and remembers quite well the names of many of our old citizens, some of whom he was surprised to learn from us had passed to the other shore, altho’ not as high in years as himself, Mr. Cameron used to travel through here on horse- back, which was a common mode of journeying in that early day—40 and 50 year ago. Whenever the western grain gamblers get through with making a foot ball of the grain market, farmers will get better prices. Itis these scalawags that do more to interfere with the farmer getting better prices for hiscrops than any other cause, The greatest sufferers are the eastern farmers, who in addition to ‘the speculators’ arts have the discrimination in freight to operate against them, Western wheat is sent to the seaboard by rail for the same rates as from points a thousand miles farthor east. bso AR PI Dabole, April 65The strike iu the Fourth district is likely to take « more serious turn, and there is dager that ev ery mine now working will shut down, out of employment.
