It is thought tho wheat crop the

reach the round sum of 400,000,000
bushels. Tbat means cheap food
If there should be peace in Europe

It was a popular mistake that a
the Ohio politicians had been pro-
Tided with offices, as we see it an
nounced that of the ten new special
agents of the National Revenue De
partment authorised by the late
Congress, two hare been appointed
from Ohio.
The product of wheat in the
State of Minnesota is remarkable.
Judge M itchell, of Winona, writing to
a friend, states that the crop this
eeason will reach to theenurmous ag-
gregate of 40,000,000 or 50,000,000
bushels. In the year 1S59 the first
wheat export of Minnesota was. all
told, 450 bushels.

Etcadily, the increase having been
greater, it is said, within the last four
years than daring any previous peri

of the prevailing dullness of trade

Editor. Herald If Herod had
lived in our days he would not bave
bad to givo orders tbat the children be
put to .death, for tbe horso cars, the
rail cars, the ice wagons, the wash
tub? left about the floor with scald
ing water in them, tbe windows left
open in Becond and third story hous
es, would bave saved him the trou
ble. It ia really a dreadful thing to
read tbe daily papers in a great city
like Philadelphia, far you rarely take
up one tbat does not record tbe death
of sevea or eight little children, or
tbeir having been maimed for life.
With whom rests tho blame? I
think not wiib the drivers, and con
ductors of wagons and cars, but with
tbo mothers and nurses who bave
the poor little creatures !o charge.
It is true tbat a woman who keeps
bou3e has a multiplicity of cares to
dis.ract her mind, but oa tbe other
hand, these accidents are traceable
to sheer carelessness. Women are
of two kind, neat and untidy. Tbe
neat onca think so much more of their
houses than they do of their children,
tbat tbey turn them Iooso into tbe
street to amuse themselves, while
they are entirely engrossed with
household cares for tbo time be in jr.
and tbey rest happy in the certainty
tbat their house is the neatest in tbe
neighborhood, and their children are
the best dressed in tbc square.
1 be untidy mother, on tbe contra
ry, lets hers run because she is too
indolent to care about them, only in
case of an accident or death, wben
she feels of course, all a mother's
griefs. But her time is spent in talk
ing with her neighbors, running the
streets, or over novel reading. And
so the little creatures, left to them
selves, get into all sorts of dangers,
and sometimes get killed, and woo
and desolation enter the dwelling.
Of course, tbey all would resent
the assurance that it is negligence on
tbeir part, tbat causes these accidents,
but in nine cases out of ten it ia jtm
that and cotiaiog else. If tbe over
careful housekeepers would relax
their perpetual war against dirt, and
keep their little ones under tbeir eyes,
and the too careless mothers would
rouse their latent energies and watch
over their babes, there would be few
er of those items ia tbe daily news
papers. And tbere is etiil another fruitful
cause of mortality among little child
ren that might be avoided to a great
extent, if parents placed a little lc3a
confidence in their hired nurses.
These latter aro sent out with the
little children to the parks, and in
stead of going there and letting the
little creatures play under tho shade
of the trees on the soft, green grass,
they take them down into the little
by streets and into the crowded tene
ment houses where their pa'ents or
friends live, frequently exposing them
to infection ; and wben tbe sun is
hottest you will see them lounging
leisurely along, chatting with another
nurse or some man, dragging tb
helpleBS little croaturo along by one
band, and frequently jerking tbe te
der littlo arm to make it walk faster.
When tbey come to a gutter the
lift the children over by one arm

One poor little creature fainted ou

Tbe storm which passed ovi r tbe
city on the afternoon of tbe Fourth
was terribly destructive in iu results.
So far as learned twelve persons lost
their lives and a score or more of
persons were injured. Of these sev.
en were killed and thirteen wound
ed, nino seriously, at a picnic of tbe
uermaa Lutheran congregation of
bharpsburg in Sugar Camp grovo, on
tbe Ross farm, above Sharpsburg.
A full description of tbe terrible
events of tbe day is given below.
TUB GREAT DISASTER,
The great disaster of tbe day oc
curred at Sugar Camp Grove, on tbe
Ross farm, about threo mileB above
Sharpsburg. Tbe congregation of
tbe German Lutheran church, of
Sharpsburg, cf which Rev. Charles
Waltz ia pastor, were holding a pic
nic in this grovo, which is not of
la'fe extent, hut was composed of
very old and largo maple trees. The
day had been clear, bright and pleas
ant, with the exception of the heat,
until between twelve and ono o'clock,
wnen a briet thunder storm came up
anu ur a tew minutes tbe rain fe
briskly. The sbower was of short
duration, and as soon as it waa over,
tbe sun came out again bright and
warm, and seemed to indicate tbat
tbe remainder ot the day would be
fair. Tho pie-Dicers, therefore, did
not leave the ground, but resumed
their festivities. Tbo clouds again
gathered, however, and about half
past two o clock tho heaven3 were
overcast, tbe thunders were rolling
continuously, and tbe black clouds
I !I . n I m
I were tuna wnn irequeni nasnes oi
lightning. At three o'clock tbe
storm broke, and the rain commenced
falling in great sheets. Tbe crowd
sought shelter at once, such as could
oo lound. lhe -nearest bouse wa3
over four bundred yards away, and
tbe rain commenced so suddenly tbat
no one bad time to seek its shelter
Tbo picnicers therefore gathered on
der tbe trees, while nineteen got in
side a covered grocer's wagon, be
longing to Mr. Conrad Reitbmiller,
which stood abjut thirty feel from
tbs largest tree la the grove. Sev
eral persons also took shelter under
tbe wagon. ithin a verv few min
utea after tbe storm bad commenced
tbe wind bad increased to a regular
hurricane, or more like a whirlwind
Just at the height ot the storm, wben
the rain was falling hardest, the
thunder rolling and the lightning
flashinir without intermission, the
crash of falling trees was mingled
with the pealing of the thunder
Great trees, three and tour ist in
diameter, which had stood for centu
ries, were fellod, broken and splinter
ed, to the eartb, or torn up. bodily by
tbe roots, and sent crashing down
amid tbe crowd of humanity gather
ed beneath them. Tbe people be
came panic stricken, and commenced
running for tbe cpen space bevond
the erove. Tbe larce tr?e under
which the Reitbmiller wagon stood,
was torn up by the roots and thrown
directly upon the wagon, crashing it
and its living load of humanity to
tbe eartb. it was the trunk of the
tree, iast at ihe farka which etruck
the wagon. Tbe latter was crushed
to atoms; the top, bed and running
gear were smashed, and tbe wheels
were sunk int3 tbe eartb, clear up to
tbe axles.
As soon as it was real.z;d what a
terrible accident had occurred, axes
were secured, amj-willing hands be
gan the work of rescuing tboso be
neath tbe wreck, lhia work was
socn accomplished, wben it was
found tbat seven bad been killed out
right, and twice that many wounded.
As soon as possible after the accident
all tbe killed aad wounded were re
moved to tbeir stricken homes io
Sharpsburg and Etna. After con
sultation among the friends it was
decided to bury all tho victims at
once on Friday afternoon.
The scenes which transpired both
at the grove and in Sharpsburg, ?an
more easily be imagined than de
scribed. The excitement waa most
intense, but was of tbat quiet nature
which great calamity causes. In
Pittsburg and Allegheny, too, ru
mors of tbe disaster ciuscd large
numbers to gather wherever it was
thought possible that defiaito news
could be obtained.
A SMALLER DISASTER.
Sandy Creek is an insignificant
stream which empties into the Alle
gheny river, almost at Ross' grove,
where tbe disaster to the picnic oc
corred. Tbo storm was of special
violence here, and soon swelled the

The water rushed down tbe valley
with orea4, velocity, to tho depth of
eiebt or ten feet, sweeping every
thing before it. Great destruction
was done to property and crops, but
what waa much worse, five lives
were lost. A man named Abner
Conner occupied a house on tho creek
bank, in which he kept a small store.
In the house when tbe fl d came
were Mr. Conner, bis wife, a young
daughter and two men, ono mmed
Hiram Long and tbe otccr namea
Boyd. Tbi3 house was swept away,
and every one In it was drowned.
Tbe bodies of Mr. Conuer and his
wifo ond Mr. Long are all that have
been recovered.
From tho tipple of the cw ork
and Cleveland Gas Coal Comraiy,
which is 1 icited near tbe creek, to

mines of the company are located,
yesterday morning, and stales that
at that time tbe sceno in the vallev
waa one of confusion and desolation.
There was not a bouse In tbe village

while manv of tbe bou'e3 wee
crushed and overturned. The dam-
re at this paint waa caused by tbe
mmeose auocnt of timber an;J drift.
ive bridges belonging to tne nora-
pany and one-hair mue or tracK and
about forty of their ora were wash
cd away. Thomas Morphy. a man
who lives about half a mile from the
illage, stated that be had just re
timed to hia bouse from a picnic
with hia family, and had not been
tbere five miontca when he heard a
lerriCc! roar, and a moment later the
ry Hood" was upon them. He
seized two cf bis children io bia arms
and bia wife carried another, and
they started serosa the way through
the rapidly rising stream and just
succeeded in reaching the door of a
stable opposite, when tbe bulk of the
flood came down. The water then
flowed into the stable, aad climbing
up into the loft, be loosened the
boards ia tbe rear, and projecting a
plank out ou the bilUide, was then
able to place his family in a position
of safety. Tbe two township bridg
es recently erected at this point wero
both washed away, as were also all
tbe telegraph pole. The losa to tbe
town will probably reach twenty
five thousand dollars, wbilo tbe New
York and Cleveland Gaa Coal Com
pany will lose fifteen thousand dol
lars, and will most probably bo com
pelled to shut down fur two week
for repairs.
At Wildwood HalioD, one mile
west of Sandy Creek, the flood also
caused considerable destruction, but
no loss of lifo. The new station
creeled by tbe A. V. R. R Co, was
crushed like an eggshell and washed
away. I he culvert uoder tbo rail
road bere becaino choked up with
timber and drift-wood, and io less

Artlvlly oflho Conntrrfolirra.
Wasmsotox, June 2S. Tbe
Dollar of tbe Daddies" seems to af
ford a rich harvest for counterfeiters,
insomuch that the Secretary of the
Treasury ia becoming alarmed. The
agents t f tbe secret service report the
country floded wiib spuriom s:and-
ard dollars, trade dllirs and subsid
iary coia. At headquarters here are
creat stacks of tbis 'ttuff in sacks
captured at different points, and ad
ditional quantities are cjniing in dai
ly. An analysis of tbe coins shows
that tbeir constituents are block tin,
antimony and glasa cast ia a mix',
ure cf plaster Paris. To day in t
new lot received were fjund a num.
ber which could not be detected from
tbe genuine coin, which led to an
examination, when it was found that
tbt-y were made by tbe electro pro
cess with a sufficient coating of sil
ver on the base metal rather to make
it impervious to acid. Tbe coia has
the appearance aad ring of the genu
ine, and can only be detected by the
weight. Tbe analvsea bave shown
that the cost cf the manufacture of
the spurious ia abjut forty per cent.
of tbo current value of tbe genuine.
Tbe centres from which the sparioua
coin ia circulated are Philadelphia,
St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis,
incennes and Louisville, lhe ex
tent of these criminal oparationa ia
now such that it ia literally impossi
bie to cover tbe held, so tbat every
day tbe supply of spurioua coin ia
growing larger. It is becoming a
question with Treasury officials
whether a paper currency will not
prove a safer circulating medium so
for as counterfeiting i3 concerned
thin silvtr. Tbo time and expense
of makinir a plate, tbe difficult of
8ecoring tbe proper papsr, and espe
cially the inability of tbe most skill
ful engraver to imitate lhe geomet
ric lathe mark, render the work of
counterfeitiag notes anything but ao
easy task, and the ability of the Gov
ernment to withdraw from circula
tion notes which have been imitated,
it is claimed, adds another check.
As stated at the Treasury to-day, a
capital of five dollars will set up an
expert in the counterfeiting of silver.
At the present rate the silver move
ment will prove a calamitous piece
of legislation, so far a3 rpeets the
losse3 sustained by tho people who
are deceived by tbe spurious coins.
Ollical advices from (iermanv state
that tbat counry ia fl jjded wkh coun
terfeit notes of ono hundred dollar
denomination on tbe Second National
Bank of Wi'kesbarre, Pa , ani tbe
Revere Bank cf B j-t)n, and also of
theGfty djli&r plate on tbe Broadway
Baak, mentioned some time ago. it
is stated that the Germiu bank?rs
are in possession of a large quantity
of tbia stuff aad are paying it out ia
exchange for gold to emigrants to
the Loued States Parties have been
arrested while ia possession of large
oainutes ortne notes. 1 ue arciiion
of the Gerniin O jvernmoat bas been
called to these operations. It is not
yet axce-rUiueJ tbat any of the Ger

Wit.KEsnAKRE, Pa, July 4 The
stc tod day's demonstration commem
orative of tbe battle and massacre cf

every half hour between local points,
bringing throngs of people. At ten
o'clock tbis morning fully 8,000 peo
ple had congregated along the street
through wbicb tbe procession was to

was fired by the Battery of Wyo

manding. Tbe grand procestion,
composed of sevea divisions, consist
ing of military, the Grand Army of
tho Republic, Veteran Corps, Fire
Department, civil and benevolent so
cieties, historical tableaux, trades and
mechanical displays. At 11 o'clock
the signal gun was Gred, and tee col

At this moment tbe sky became ovi r
cast and a stiff breeze sprang up,
which materially lowered the temper
ature. Tbe procession was upwards
of four miles in length, and moved
through moat of tbe principal streets,
and after passing ia review before
