A letter from Ohio, 111., Bays that
no rain lias fallen there since early In
July and corn 1b of little account. Oats
though good In thestraw Is very light.
Corn Is selling at 55 to 67. Hands have
been scarce and inany farmers have de

A TEAM of line horses driven by a
young farmer of Long Island got fright
ened at the whistle on the ferry boat as
they were crossing from N. Y., to Brook
lyn, and jumped ofT the boat. No trace
of the team could be found, and the
driver was made so crazy by his loss
that the police had to care for him at the
Station-house on Friday night.
Senator Beik Is reported to have
said with reference to the course that
Democrats should take in the case of the
death of President Garfield. " It should
be a time when love of country should
rise above all party questions. As to
my own course, I would be in favor of
some conservative Republican, say Hen
. ry B. Anthony, of Ithode Island, for the
position of President protein of the Sen
ate, and thus avoid any Inducement for
any Insane person or political funatie to
desire the death of Mr. Authur. In
such a contingency, this would be a
graceful recognition of the fact that, un
der the great calamity which has befall
en the nation, the Intensely party spirit
and the eagerness for spoils were for the
time forgotten."
Increase in Litigation.
The Increase In the number of cases
brought before our courts, is becoming
positively alarming. In many places,
not only In this state, but in others, the
matter has been brought before the pub
lic by the judges, and by them is urged
upon the people the Importance of set
tling many of the minor cases by arbi
tration, or before the Justice. Many
justices fail to carry out, the Intentions
of the law In this respect, and instead of
saving work for the courts, actually
help to increase it. In referring to this
matter a short time since one of the
Common Pleas Judges in Philadelphia,
said : " If there is not some action taken,
which will tend to stop the increase of
cases which require the attention of our
courts, the number of judges will soon
have to be enlarged, or cases will remain
on the trial list for years before they can
be reached."
This is a question that appeals direct
ly to tne pockets or the tax payers, ana
it is for them to remedy the matter. We
believe if the statistics were brought
before tho people it would show them
some facts that would cause reflection,
and perhaps astonishment.
The President's Condition.
The condition of the President
through the past week has been such
as gave but little ground for hope. The
parotid swelling, the surgeons opened on
Wednesday but it gave little relief. Ou
Friday morning the accumulated puss
found vent through the ears,and though
it relieved the pain, has decreased the
swelliug but little. The doctors now ac
knowledge the fact that blood poisoning
is causing them much alarm, and it
seems to be doubtful if the President
can take sufficient nourishment to tone
up the blood to a healthy condition. If
he can do that, he has a chance for re
covery, If not his death is certain, ere
long. During Friday and on Saturday
morning, the bulletins issued from the
sick-room, were such as to make people
look for his death at any hour. Satur
day evening a slight change for the bet
ter was noted, and on Sunday morning
the bulletin was the following :
Washington, Aug. 28th, 8-30 A. M.
Executive Mansion. (Otlicial.) The
ameliorating symptoms in the Presl
dent's condition aunounced in the bul
letin of last evening have continued
through the night and with still further
improvement. His mental condition is
also improved. Pulse Is now 110, Tem
perature 98-0 Respiration 17.
LATEST.
Washington, Aug, 20th, 8-30 A. M.,
The President's symptoms this morning
are favorable as yesterday. He slept,
awakening at Intervals the greater part
of the night. At three intervalshe took
and retained the liquid nourishment ad
ministered. Ills mind is perfectly clear,
Pulse 100, , Temperature 08-Stenths.

Outstanding Fives.
New Yohk, Auguet 23. Assistant
Treasurer Hllhouse has Just received
the following:
Washington, D. C Notice Is here
by given that the treasury department
will redeem, upon presenting without
rebate of interest, the outstanding five
per cent, registered bonds, funded loan
of 1881, embraced in the one hundred
and fourth call, maturing October 1
next. Parties transmitting bonds for

retary of the Treasury, Loan Division,

are desired in favor of any one but the
payee the bonds should be assigned " To
the secretary of the treasury for redempt
ion for account of (here insert name of
person or persons to whose order the
check should be payable.)"
William Windom,
Secretary.
Nothing but Skin and Bones.
Wasiiinoton, August 23. Those
who have seen General Garfield can
scarcely comprehend that he now
weighs but 125 pounds. Yet Mr. Blaine's
dispatch of the accuracy of which there
Is no doubt, is confirmed by the state
ment of those constantly about the sick
room and of the attendants who lift
him. "He is nothing but skin and
bones," said one of the attendants, and
well he may be, for If General Garfield
weighs but 125 pounds, there can be
very little left of him except his mas
sive frame.
C3T They are putting machines in the
White House to drive cool nir into the
President's room, keeping the tempera
ture at any point desired. The idea of a
cool sleeping apartment in July so
strongly appeals to the senses that the
comment of ft lady ou one of the street
cars the other morning was but natural.
Her husband, Bitting beside her, read
aloud of the means taken to cool tho
President's chamber, when the lady ex
claimed, involuntarily: "Oh, dearl I
wish I could sleep with the President a
while I" And then to her surprise the
occupants of the car laughed.
Disastrous Fire In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, August 23. Warner
& Merrltt's fruit warehouse, Nos. 50, 52
and 51 North Delaware avenue, was
destroyed by fire this morning. The
fire is believed to have originated from
an explosion of gas, which took place
shortly before 0 this morning, and al
most immediately afterwards flames
rushed through the building and out of
the doors and windows. The fire made
rapid progress, the contents of the build
ing being of an Inflamable character,
and about 7 o'clock the walls fell in
every direction. The building was six
stories high, built of ornamental brick
and sandstone, and extended fifty feet
on Delaware avenue, and 180 feet through
to Water street. It was finished for the
firm by the executors of the estate of
John Hopkins, of Baltimore, the owner
of the ground, and was valued at $100,
000. The stock was of a miscellaneous
character consisting of West Indies
fruit principally, 100,000 cocoanuts and
t30,0OO worth of banauas,most of which
was received only a day or two since.
The entire stock was valued at $75,000,
and the refrigerators and other appara
tus and muchinery for the manufacture
of desslcated cocoanut was valued at $50,
000 more.
Beating a Child to Death.
New YoitK, August 24. Mrs. Kunze
whose husband is at present working on
a railroad in the West, is charged by her
neighbors with murdering one of her
children". The Kunzes are Germans
and have several children. About three
months ago they brought from Germany
ahoy of 5- years old, named George,
whom they had left behind when they
emigrated to this country. The child
was suffering from rachitis, a species of
softening of the bones, that made him
permanently a cripple. It is alleged by
neighbors that Mrs. Kunze treated this
child with inhuman cruelty from the
time of its arrival, and often expressed a
wish to get rid of it. Last night the
neighbors learned that George was dead.
The rumor spread that he had been
beaten to death. Some ouo had seen
the boy with his face blackened and
burned. Neighbors were refused admit
tance to see the child. Dr. Richard
Hoelger gave a certificate of death from
rachitis, but he had not seen the child
until Monday night, when it was in a
moribund condition. To day the child
was buried. The neighbors, when they
saw Mrs. Kunze to day, spoke of hang
ing and lynching. She says the bruises
ou the child were received while he was
playing. Au investigation of the case
will be made.
Washington, August 19. Captain

tW Several weeks ago the dead body of
a man was found on the farm of Mr,

of bushes, where he had committed sui
cide by hanging. An InqueBt was held

Bi5"Early on Friday afternoon a young
woman, attired in a bathing suit, ap
peared at the entrance to the White
House grounds, and demanded admis

fruitless. A day or two ago a gentleman
walking on a board walk in the yard of a

thought to be an old copper ring. He was

thought he coucluded to clean it up, when
he found it to be a valuable gold ring ; and
on inquiry it was found to be the ring
which the young lady lost in days gone by.
