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."

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

must be addressed. He is also professionsuly at
