Tho September Keport of the De- partment of Agriculture. Wheat ProspeotsBetter, Corn Poorer - and Gdtton Vigorous. Th« September report of the Department *i Agriculture show* a bettor yield of spring wheat than was expeotoil a mouth ago. The improvement is in the Northern bolt, Wis- • sonsin, Minnesota and Dakota, In Nebraska there has boon a deolinoj in Iowa little nhange, Thegenoralavorageiseighty-four, «n inoreaso of four point:. The average yield of the crop, so far as tho results of threshing are reported, exceeds oleven bush- els and may reach elovon and one-half bushols per acre. , , Threshing of winter wheat in tho oCii> volley gives a bottor roturn than was ex- pec led.ut harvest, and Shore is some improve- ment in Missouri aiid Kansa.', In the Mid- dle and Eastern States the percentages of July are not materially changed. In tho South tho harvest was disappointing and raius injured the product in the shoiik. The returns indicate an average yield of about twelve and a half bushels per aero; The en- tiro wheat product .will apparently exceed that of last year by SII.OuO.tRK) to 110,000,000 bushel*. The exact determination of area harvested and results of threshing are easily equivalent to a variation of at least two per celit. •* Corn has declined frr u SI in August to 77, In the State) of principal production the status is as follows; Kentucky, from 87 in August to 00 in September i Ohio, from 88 to 89; Michigan, 80 in both returns; Indiana, from 80 to US; Illinois declined, from 77 to 78; Missouri, from 15 to 63; Kansas from 72 to,S2; Nebraska, from 70 to 08; Iowa, from 78t6 6T. The loss west of Indiana is caused by drought. In the south Atlantic States there has been improvement; on the Gulf coast a slight improvement, except in Texas where drought lias reduced condition. Tlie> present crop prospect, with ho further de- cline, is 19 per cent, woree than lost year, and indi-jates over twenty-one bushels por acre, or nearly 1,001,000,000 bushels., The cotton returns show a vigorous condi- tion of the plant, withlateness dud deficiency in 1 fruiting. There has been improvement in iriost of the States, with decided decline in Teias and alittle in Arkansas; The indis- putable reduction of condition lost month in the south aiid west of Tjxas has boon emphasized in this return.. The average, of condition of the cropi..are» 82 is slightly; above,that of A\igiisp.-i t ,fpr. : that '^toji.tim'e-in'September in> ilfteen'years; with •Silongond'faVorablo autumn it indicates an average crob. Yet a decline in condition, after this • date, -is usual; Insectsrhavo. ap- , jpearedinmostijartof the Srntos,.with little loss up toda'te—more from the boll worm than from the caterpillar. Tho State Aver- ages of condition are: Virginia 77: North Carolina, 82; South Carolina, 81; Florida, 83; Georgia, 81; Alabama, 80; Mississippi, 82; Louisiana, 81; Texas, 76; Arkansas, 03; Tennessee, 95. Theresults of threshing make tho condi- tion^ oats at harvest 91 a small reduction from earlierexpectation. The average of barley is 98, indicating an average crop. Buckwheat averages 90. Potatoes have de- clined from 88.3 to 81.4 from effects of local drought. In New York the decline is from 97 to 89, and it is heavy in the dry area of; the West. The condition of tobacco av- erages $1. . The number of fattening hogs nre appar- ently less by about six per Cent, with some reduction in average weight. - PERDINANB WARD. He Write s to President Cleveland Coneerninff James D. Fish . From his cell in Sing Sing prison Ferdi- nand Ward has Written the following self- explanatory letter to President Cleveland: SING SIN S PBISON. To Sis Excellency Or overCleveland, Pres- ident of the United States.; . HOHORED SIB: It having coming to my ears that an effort is being made on the part of iheifriends of James D. Fish to obtain for hima.pardon, I most respectfully ask that beforegranting the same you will allow me to-present to Your Excellency's attention certain'facts and letters which I possess and ; which have notyet appeared in public beaiv inio n certain matters connected with the failure of Grant & Ward and the downfall of the Marine Bank. Whereas I assure you, sir, thsit I have no desire to hinder Mr. Fish in gaming his liberty; as I know from my own experience full well what he is suffering, still there seems to be a tendency on the :part of the press to put the entire blame on me and I feol that it is hot just that I should be made tpshoulder it all. Mr. Fish was tried . and convicted for the management of the Marine Bank audi didnoteven appear in the case r as a witness, and I feel that ia seeking a pardon bis: friends should confine themselves to the facts as .brought out inbis case and not try to makehiin outa martyr duped by me. I would appear before you willingly through counsel.but am unable to do so from want of mednsjSo I take theliberty of asking thatyoii v,-ill eo arrange it that I may submit these facts aid letters toyoii before you fully pass lipon'the matter, very respectfully, FEBSIKTAND WABD.

Death of a Komsrtcablo Female Far- mer In Pennsylvania. Miss Polly Gehrig, of Washington Town- ship, Penm, who died a few days ago,,»ged eighty-four years, was the most remarl&blo woman in Eastern Pennsylvania. She was stoutly built, and possessed great strength, In many ways extremely masculine, she rer tained nevertheless many of the beat traits of womanhood. She had a kind heart, was charitable and had many warm frionds. During sixty years she ohewed and smoked tobacco. She attended personally to her farm wort, doing even the heaviest of i t with her own hands, not excepting the quarrying of stone when that was to be done. It was nothing for her to slaughter a half dozen pigs before breakfast. Miss Gehrfs had good business ideas and worked as she did not because she was obliged to, but Because she liked it It was one of hor delights to teach young women how to become independent workers, and she contended that women would live much longer «nd be far happier if they would take up outdoor work. Miss Gehris was never married. It Was one of her sayings that she never had time to deyototo love making. Hence she never wanted a beau. She was long one of the* best horsewomen in the district. She leaves considerable of an estate; PROMMENT PEOPLE THB wife of President Diaz, is not yet twenty-six years old. MB . IBAD .
