All over the North-West the work of threshing the Spring crops going on vigorously. The yield of wheat in the Northern portion of Illinois is about equal to expectation; but toward the central part of the State, the heads, on account of dry weather, were not : so well filled, and the yield is not so good as was anticipated. Oats and barley are a fair yield—the latter having escaped being stained by foul weather. The corn crop throughout the Southern and central por ' dons of the State looks well, and the promise is. favorable • but in some of the Northern Counties —.Winnebago, Boone and Stephenson—the want of rain has been felt. The same is true of pota toes in the Northern part of the State, and the stop there will be very small. The corn crop in lowa is good; and in fact all over the North West, with the exception of a few counties, we hear of nothing but a large corn crop. Unless the early frost injure it, it will be the largest crop the West ever saw. The weather during the week Las been moderately warm and slightly showery. —Chicago Press.

Presentation. The Rev. James J. Marks, of Evergreen, hav ing at the request of the inms.es of the s , Pitts burgh Water Cure," delivered a course of lectures upon Eastern Lands and Scenes, was presented by them with an elegant silver Coffee Urn, a few days since, with the accompanying address, by Dr. Solomon Freese : Rey, Mll. MAIMS At the request of the in mates of the "Pittsburgh Water Cure," I present you this Urn. It ie their epontaneous gift—an bumble testimonial to the value of the lectures you have been good enough to deliver to us here. We have not only been pleased by your lectures, but we have been edified as well; and as age ad• vance upon us,.many of us will feel and know that we are better and wiser men and women for having heard them. We have only to regret that the value of the testimonial is not greater, but small as it is, rest assured that it is the offering of grateful hearts. We hope you will not refuse it. Take it, tend when you look upon it in after years, when this now happy company shall have been dispersed in all quarters of the globe, may it Came you to think of, your many friends who sojourned with' you at the "Pittshurgh Water Cure," in the Summer of 1869, and of the pleas ure not only yourself, .but'all of the members of your family, afforded no in all your relations with us, reiligiotes, social, and Irifellieffial. And in conclusion let me express to you 'the radmiration and esteem your worthy and accomplished lady has produed upon our minds-by her lady like and Christian deportment. In giving expression to these feelings I know I am expressing the senti ment of all who have mode her Acquaintance. In the mime of the inmates of the." hnrg Pltteh Water Cure," I tender to you tibia testimonial of their gratitude and esteem." To this Mr. Marks responded: " This is to me entirely unexpected. • I looked for no reward for the lectures I. have .delivered, but the hope they had ministered amusement and imparted information. Indeed, I feel that they were not deserving of such a testiinonial; for, be• ingin pursuit of health, and subjected to all the Tegimen of the Water Cure, there was hut little time to collect the reminiscences of travel. And the value of the gift increases the •rrgret that I made no greater effort to make my lectures ell that your kindness deserves. My family end myself, came among you strangers; and the friend ships we have .here formed, will remain golden Enke in the chain of life. And, never at any wa tering piece or scene of travel, have we found a more delightful sojourn. Everything ,in tbe or der, the kindness, the moral purity of the managers and physicians, has given us the greatest satisfaction and pleasure. The em ery around us increased greatly the attract tiveness of this place. The great hills, crowned with their glorious unbroken forests, the" quiet shades, the beautiful river, the murmuring wa ters, all combined to give os backthe health, end• the beautiful visions of our youth; and gladly would we linger longer here,' did not dutyoall us to other homes. "I3e assured. my family and myself, can never forget your uniform kindness, end this testimonial of your approbation of my himble efforts, will be looked upon as one of the most precious gems of my hems, and sent down to my children as au invaluable legacy." raDvinvKimuci Iron:City College.

[ADTZETIBIIIENT..I A Great Medicine for Females. Hundreds of stimulants have been invented and sold, purporting to be specific, in the various dis eases and derangements to which the delicate form of woman render her subject. The result of all these stimulants has been to impart mo mentary activity to the nervous system, and fable vigor to the muscles ; but this relief has been succeeded by a depression and prostration greater than before ; and the repeated attempts of invalids to build themselves up by these false remedies, have finally ended in destroying what little vital organization was left. But in using " Bmrhave's Holland Bitters," you will ond no such disastrous results. It is a purely vegetable compound, pre pared on strictly scientific principles, after the manner of the celebrated Rolland Professor, Baer have. Under its influence, every nerve and mus cle receives new strength and vigor, appetite and sleep return, and finally, perfect health.

At Zurich, on the 16th inst., a conference between the Austrian and French Plenipoten tiaries took place, lasting two hours. A. Cabinet courier arrived from Parts on that day. A second Austrian Plenipotentiary, N. Neysenberg, had not left Zurich for Vienna, as reported. The Plenipotentiaries held no formal sitting on the 16th and 16th, but were engaged in festivities. Great Britain. Lord John Russel said in the House of Com mons, prior to the delivery of the Queen's speeoh, that Mr. Bruce had been sent to Pekin with a view to the ratification of the treaty with China, and that it was the intention of the Government to require the Chinese to fully carry out the conditions of the treaty. Lord Palmerston, in reply to a question, said it was the express de sire of the Government to encourage the forma tion of rifle and artillery corps. The nomination of Charles Lenox White as Envoy Extraordinary to Central America, and the rumored cession of the Territory in Hon duras to Great Britain, had given rise to the im impresidon that the English. Government was seeking to strengthen its position in that quarter. Sir William Gore Onsley is about to be re% called. A proposition has been made on behalf -of Mr. Lever to charter the steamship Great Eastern, for a voyage out and home from Great Britain to America. £20,000 is offered. France. • The military fete at Paris on the entry of Napoleon proved to be a very grand affair. The troops were headed by the Emperor, and the display made was most imposing. The Emperor has granted full amnesty to all political offenders. Te Deum took place in Paris on the 16th, in honor of the fete. Napoleon, and all the Pleni potentiiries and Members of the Federal Council were present The accounts from the vineyards are unfavor- able. The Paris correspondence of the Daily Neon asserts that the Zurich Coeference is at a dead look. " The Emperor Napoleon exhibited symptoms of annoyance at the conduct of the Court of Vienna. and recent articles in the Paris journals, in praise of Koesuth and Garibaldi, are attribu ted, to this feeling. The grand military spectacle which had been prohibited in the Paris theatres, out of consideration for Austria, has been permitted to re-appear. The municipal entry into Paris of the army of Italy on the 14th, passed off with great eclat. The streets were crowded to excess; all the pub lic buildings and many private residences were decorated, and the illuminations in the evening were'on the grandest scale. The soldiers bearing the standards; taken from the enemy, received ovations. The Emperor is said to havebeen coldly received in the more democratic quarters of Paris. On Sunday evening a grand banquet was given by the Emperor to the principal chiefs of the army. At the close of the banquet the Emperor made a speech, and distributed medals to all who were engaged in the Italian campaign. On the day of the fete the Emperor pardoned upwards of eleven hundred persons wholad been sentenced to imprisonment for the commission of various crimes. The Moraine states that the Emperor has de. elided on retaining, for the present, an army of 60'000 men in Lombardy. In the Tuscan National Assembly, deputy Ginor proposed that the Assembly declare the dynasty of the House of Lorraine impossible in Tuscany. It was unanimously supported by the represents. Lives, but the discussion was postponed. It is reported that the French Government has addressed's dispatch to the Great Powers declar ing that France will not assist the self elected Princes to return to their dominions by force. nor will she permit Austria or any other Power to afford them military aid for that purpose. The Miniateria6 dournal of Vienna insists very strongly on the stipulations at Villafranos being carried out at Paris. The ministerial crisis is not yet over. It was reported that the new Constitution will be charge , tensed by the principle decentralization, by the re-establishment of representing provinces, by pre rogatives given by the aristocracy, and, lastly, by a strict catholic spirit. The rumored Red Republican movement in Parma is contradicted. Garibaldi bas accepted the command of all the forces in Central Italy. He had arrived at Leg— horn. The death of the King of Prussia was looked for hourly. AU the Princes and Ministers have been recalled. No attempt was made to conceal from tbe public the near approach of his death. The steamship Jason has arrived at St. Johns, from Galway, bringing three days later advices from Europe. Cardinal Antonelli had resigned the Preside'n of the Council of Rome. He retains the Sea retaryship of State. The King of Prll,l9la bad rallied his strength, and was expected to linger on for a short time. The steamer Great Eastern is to leave on the 3d of September on her trial trip. Richard Cobden has been in London A grand demonstration was'given to him by his Rochdale constituents. The amnesty of the political prisoners of France, granted by the Emperor on the occasion of the triumphant entry of the troops at Paris, created surprise, but gave general satisfaction. Lolls Blanc had refused to accept of it. The Calcutta mail of the 6th of July, had been telegraphed. The King of Oude had been released.
