gittsint* eiktitt Agricultural Report for June. The effect of the incessant rain-fall up. on the leading crops of the country is dis closed in the Commissioner's Report, as follows: It will be seen that rain in June of this ear has been in excess of the fall of June, 868, in all the States except Florida, and on the Atlantic o.oast between Washing ton and New York City, and to a slight -degree in Rhode Island, New Hampshire . and Minnesota. The greatest disparity has existed in the wheat belt between the Missouri and the Mississippi'. Illinois, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri average a rain.fall of 7.20 inches against 3.54 of June last year. The temperature tas also been lower by 3to 7 degrees. In the South the temperature has not been reduced, though there was more than the usual quantity of rain. The effect upon Winter grain of so much moisture in the ripening season his been to give an almost unprecedented growth of straw and an appearance of .vigor quite remarkable; at the same time a general exemption from insects has been observed, anti a good (development of and filling, of the head, which, with the increased aver age, might be expected to producea har vest of extraoruiliary magnitude. To thhi calculation, however, there are some drawbacks. Rust has wrought some in jury east of the Plains, and has been quite severe• in parts of California, and may yet prove disastrous to the Spring sown grain. There will be complaint of a light yield of grain in threshing, and there are already reports of injury, by sprouting in the shock, in Missouri, Ten nessee and 'in Southern Illinois, which, should wet.weather continue, may greatly reduce the value of the crop. It is scarce ly possible, nowever, that any or all these - causes can so reduce the crop as to cause a scarcity; and it may be assumed to be the third full crop, following three sea sons of comparative scarcity, and an abundance of flour at -moderate prices may be expected, with a good surplus for export. ' ' The season has been very unfavorable for the corn crop in almost every State. In the early spring, bold weather and wet soil, threatening to' rot the seed as fast as planted, delayed the season of planting. Then large areas were replant ed from a continuance of similar condi tions, and the stand has therefore been poor and the growth stunted and feeble, In northern latitudes, until I late in June, since which time a great .improvemant has resulted. In many, sections there are more weeds than corn, while much is still overflowed, making it impossible to cultivate the crop. Worms have proved destructive, in some places... Altogether the prospect is quite unfavorable for a good crop of corn, though there is yet time, under favorable circumstances, ior great amelioration. The acreage is some whatless than last year in the South, and in New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illi nois, and in some of the Eastern States. The decrease in Illinois amounts to 150,000 acres. There has been an increase west of the Mississippi, and, to some ex tent in more Eastern States, sufficient to give a total acreage equal to last year. _ The feebleness and starved condition of the cotton plant in May and early in June are yielding to the bright suns and genial showers of the progressing seasou.which are rapidly repairing all damages, except the lack of a perfect "stand." Fears are expressed in a few localities that there will not be more than half a crop. On the other hand, , the general report is far more encouraging. Along the Atlantic coast large quantities of fertilizers have been used, great care exercised in the se lection of seed and baiter implements employed; while the laborers are more faithful and. reliable. The total area planted is about fifteen per cent. greater than last year, increasing the average to fully 8,000,000 acres. r fenneasee, Vir-. gime, Kentucky and Missobri report a slight decline in acreage, while the in . crease is given as follows: North Caro. Bna, ten percent.; South Carolina, nine per cent.; Georgia. eighteen per cent,; Florida, twenty.five per cent.; Alabama, eight per cent ; Mississippi, fourteen per cent; Louisiana, sixteen per cent; Texas, thirty-two per cent.; Arkansas, twelve per cent. - ll'ay will be abundant, but of compar atively poor quality, being rank _in growth, and to some extent injured in curing. Potktoes have been largely plant ed. and generally promise well, except where injured by the wet weather, though apprehensions of potato disease are preva lent, and the bug is doing some damage. Vegetable Preservative for Marsh rev er. Persons who are condemned to live in the fens of Lincolnshire may be glad to learn that a simple 'method'has been dis covered of neutralizing the deleterious influence of marshy exhalations. Mon sieur Martin, in a paper presented by him to the Societe Therapeutique de France, ElffilTaft that this desirable result may be obtained by the cultivation on a large scale of the sunflower (lielianthus an nuns.) The experiment has been tried with great success in the fenny districts near. Rochefort, and the Dutch, who from the peculiar nature of their country have every opportunity of studyinc such phenomena, and must be looked upon as high authorities upon the subject, have a firm faith in this specific, asserting that intermittent fever, the-scourge of .the countsy,has totally disappeared from every district in whiclia lair trial has been given ::to it. The fact appears to be proved, but the modus operandi is ancertain, it being a disputed question Whether the. sunflower acts on the atmosphere merely like any other plant of rapid growth by the pro duction of oxygen, or whether, like the ,conifers, it emits ozone, and thus de stroys the germs, animal, and, vegetable, getiendly supposed to constitute • the mi asmas which produce fever when present in the atmosphere in large quantities. AN lOWA Captain , gave ,the follOWing commands just' atter leaving Big Shanty: "Boys ! I've got to fall back in the rear for & ludfan.hour, and I don't Want any of you to forget the strict Orders against . foraging. So, although, there is a big pile of sweet pobitoes and' a half dozen-bee hives about a half mile'ahead, yet I shall ex pect to see every man , in his place when I come hackin just three quarters of an Hour from now. ' then he came back every man was in his place. hiding his smiles behind a . huge potato or a great card of crystal honey. The captain bad all he cared to ear, remarking incidental- Y. that he "was glad to see that the quar ermastar was giving the boys better ra ons.” CLIPPINGS. Tax humidity of the atmosphere, it is reported, has been increased on the Isth mus of Suez since the introduction of the waters of the Mediterranean Sea into the lakes. Fogs as dense as those of Paris have been observed in districts where heretofore rain has hardly ever fallen. Tan Providence Journal says that Alexander H. Stephens' interminable letters announcing his withdrawal from public affairs, remind one of the record found in the closet of an old toper in Greenwich, whose many excellent resolu tions were not followed by a correspond ing practice and reform.. On the door, plainly marked in chalk, was recorded. "February 25,. left off drinking," and then, "February 20, left off again," GENTLEMAN from the vicinity of York, Pa., informed us that so great has been the scarcity of rain in that locality that the corn is very much back, and pre sents a dry and shriveled appearance. In ' York county, and within six or seven miles of Harrisburg, we have another al most rainless district ; so great is the drought in that section that springs, which have not failed for a period of fifty years, are dry. While some regions are suffer ing from too much, others are suffering from its absence. THE tail of Griffin the engineer of the freight train, to wh ose carelessness the Mast,Hope railroad disaster is attributed, hailieen fixed at $lO,OOO. He is still in jail allklillford, Pa. The wounded at the Delaware,House are rapidly gaining, and will returii\home in a few days. There are only three of them remaining, one of whom, Carl Baer, the German lad, has sent for his mother and brother in Prus sia to come over tO\this country. The claim for damages for " his father's death has not yet been settled. IT is one of the curiosities of Rhode Island industry says the Providence Jour. nal, that it is now exporting iron ore to be manufactured 'in other States. 'Two thousand tons of this ore have been sent to a single furnace in Pennsylvania with in_eighteen months, at a coat to the pur chasers, freight included, of six and a half dollars a ton. The additon of fif teen per cent. of the Cumberland ore to the other ores used by the Pennsylvania company has been found to increase the value of their pig iron two dollars a ton. Tin. bill for the punishment of seduc tion, recently before the Canadian Parlia ment, provides that the seduction under promise of marriage of a chaste unmar ried woman shall be punished by im prisonment for two years, but no con viction shall be had, in any case, "on the testimoney of the woman 'seduced, un supported by other evidence, nor unless the indictment is found within two years after the, offence." The object of re fusing to receive the woman's testi money as conclusive, is to prevent the innumerable _cases of prosecution, by designing women, for sinister and mer cenary purposes. THE fine folks going to the Suez. Canal opening take along with them other Pa risian luxuries besides the striped silken tents. There is the portable fresh butter churn, made out of cut crystal and mount ed on silver feet. It is provided with a silver rod which revolves swiftly in the cream and presents a pat of butter every three minutes. The fruit refrigerator is 'made 'of plated silver. There is a hol low in the center of it for raspberries, for instance: all around them rises a wall of artificial ice; the fruit is covered with some chemical preparation which adds savor and congeals; after a rotary turn or two the raspberries are frosted. A NEW Oramatsjeweler has succeeded in making a very peculiar brooch and ear-rings for one of the Southern belles. In the brooch—and the ear-rings are sim ilar but smaller—there are five leaves, the two upper ones being made of veined vi olet enamel, while the three lower ones are of frosted gold, delicately veined around the centre with black enamel. In the center is a brilliant diamond on a raised settingovhieh presents the appear ance of a sparkling dew-drop which a zephyr might kiss away. Each piece is described as a gem in itself, and so nearly resembles the modest flower of which it is counterfeit presentment, that placed in a garden it might dective the most learned botanist. THERE is no foundation for the story that Ex• Minister John Bigelow has been offered a large interest in the Times, and a salary of ten thousand annually, if he will accept the editorial management of the paper, and, furthermore, that he is holding the offer under advisemenr. The other statements that George W. Curtis, or this or that man had been offered the vacant chair, are equally unfounded. Soon after Mr. Raymond's death, Mr. Jones, Wm. Raymond and the other pro prietcrrs of the Times, who are , few in number—not over five all told—held a consultation, and decided to retain the paper under its present tnanagementuntil Mr. Raymond's oldest son, now about graduating from Yale, has obtained the necessary editorial training to assume the fitther's position.* No_outsider is to be admitted to overshadow this son when he comes to take the reins that have dropped from his father's hands. Mr. S. Conant will continue as heretofore editorial man ager of the Times. A CORRESPONDENT of Blake., GalveBton Bulletin writes from De Witt county, Texas: "Again is this and the adjoining counties thrown into a wild state of ex• citement by the appearance in day time and the sound at night of large hot' ies of armed men riding to and fro. At last that point beyond which it is said forbearance ceases to be a virtue has been reached, and our oldest and best citizens have drawn the sword' and thr ,wn the scabbard away, and say they will not desist until our country is purged of the thieves and desperadoes who have so long been prey ing upon their stock. The real wealth of our Western country kid become common property, regularly organized gangs of horse thieves were quarantined upon us, one-half the beeves raised upon our pra ries were stolen, in vain have our citi zens appealed to the law, swift witnesses were always at band to prove an alibi or swear them clear. Gradually have things been drawing to a focus. Simultaneously almost have the people risen in the sur rounding counties, and a day of reckon ing has come. - Horrible as this state Of affairs'is, there was no alternative, and the war of extermination has commenced, and from the cool, determined Character of the leaders, I imagine will :not cease until these pests of society have been rooted out. On the 2d inst., two noted characters, Jim Bell and Bill Morrel,• were shot on the Coletto, in the lower part of De Witt county. Many rumors are afloat of others in different directions being killed, but, owing to the dread exist ing men, say but little." > . , . F1TTE431141GR,..-GAZETtE-::,: INSURANCE.

OF SPECIAL NOTICTEB; M' SCHENCK'S PELNIONIC SYRUP SEAWEED TONIC AND MA.NDEKKE P ILLS LLS will cure Consumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken accord ing to directiOns. They are all three to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the,stomach, re. lax the !Ivor andput it Work; then the appetite becomes good; the food digests and makes good blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the diseased matter ripens Into the lungs, and the patient outgrows tee disease and gets web. This is the only way to cure consumption. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pal monk Syrup ripens the morbid, matter in the lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has rest sad the lunge begin to heal. ' T., do this, the Seaweed 'lonic and Mandrake Pills must be lively need to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the food wall make good blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, removing all obstructions. relax the aunts of the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved: the stools will show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been Invented ex cept calomel (a deadly poison welch Is very dan gerous to use unless with great care,) that will unlock the gallbladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Maudrake Pills. Liver Complaint is one of tie most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonk is a gentle stimulant and alterative. and the alkali In the Seaweed, which this preparation is made en, assists the stomach to tarow out the gastric juice to dissolve the food with the Putmonic Syrup, and It Is made into good blood without fermentation or souring In the stomach. The great' reason why physicians do not cure Consumption is, they try to do too much: they give medici sweatstop the cough, to atop chills, to stopmight hectic fever, and by so doing they derange the , whole digestive powers. lock• log up the secret.ons, and eventually the patient sinks and dies. Dr. Schenck, In 'his treattnen„ does not try to stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. He move the cause and tiny will all atop of their own accord. No one can be cured of Consump tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stomach are made healthy. - If a person has consumption, of course the nags in some way are diseased, eitner tubercles, abcesse., bronchial Irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast decay log. In such cases what must be done? It le not only the lungs tnat are wasting, but it is the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost their power to make blood out of fo -d. Now the only chance Is to tate Dr. Schenck's three medi cines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want food, !twill digest easily send make good blood; then the patient be gins to gain in flesh. and as soon as the body be gins to grow, the lungs commence to teal up. and the patient gets at shy and well. This Is the on le way to cure Consumption. • When there is no sung disease and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Manorake Pills freely in ail bUllous complaints, as they are per fectly harmless. Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health for many years past, and now weighs 335 pounds. was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced his ease hope less and abandoned him to his fate. lie was cured by the aforesaid met Imes, and since his recove ry many thousaads similarly afflicted have used Dr. Schenck's preparation with the same re markable success. Full directions accompany each, making It not absolutely necessary to per sonally see Dr. Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for this _purpose he is professionally at his Principal Office, Philadel phia, every Saturday. where all letters for advice must be addressed. He is also professionsuly at 'No. 39 Bond street. New York, every other Tuesday, and at No. 35 Hanover street, Boston, every other Wednesday.
