Over twenty millions worth of J produce was shipped from enr princi- ^ pal ports last week, and now ft new : item is to bemadded tothe export trade. Over 18,000 horses have already been purchased in this country for the British cavalry and army transport service, and the agents are still buy- iag. • . % 8&»Hon, Williad C.Fl*g£,President of the State Farmer's Associatlan, and ort* of tho prominent citizens Of the State, died last week at his residence near Moro, in the central part of this State, in hi? 49th year. Mr. Flagg was . a native of Madison county, a gradu- of Yale Collpge and an eminent Scir entitle Agriculturalist, anda prolific writer oa m*ny agricultural subjects.-- In private life he wag a mau of spotless ^character and was •niversally esteem­ ed. His death is a loss to the Strte. I^Amoiig the most interesting features of the European trouble dur­ ing the past few days, are the Queen's message calling out th« reserves: and the English Circular to the Powers.-^ This circular in our opinion, gives good reasons for the attitude of England, and furnishes little reason for antici­ pating a yielding of disputed points.-- I; asserts a belief that the terms pro­ posed are of a nature to benefit Russia alone, and to hazard the brosperity of Britaiu'8 Eastern possessions. Aus­ tria's firmness creates a change of tem­ per in Russia and may be instrumen­ tal in harmonizing matters all around. Chicago commission merchant has been at the pains to collect statis­ tics as to tho estimated amount of r wheat that will be on hand in the leading warehouses in Nebraska, Iow£, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Twenty- one, warehouses in Nebraska, nineteen •in Wisconsin--exclusive of Milwaukee -fifty-six in Iowa, forty-four in Min­ nesota, ft total of one hundred and forty warehouses, reported 2,011,000 bushels as the estimated amount io be en hand April 1,1878, against 1,838,000 bushels on the corresponding day last year, aa increase of 973,000 bushels. The skme report shows a decrease of 1,457,830 bushels in Milwaukee, and 1,- 994,774 bushels in Chicago, or 3,452,604 buthels in both cities on March 16,1878 as compared with the stock on hand in these cities on the corresponding date In 1877. 1ST We did not think it .H|>uld fall to the lot of Geneva, 111., t® Vindicate Hayes' policy. Such is the fact. Our readers will recall that our State Sen­ ator visited Washington Stiiie weeks ago, and called upon Hayes, when he improved the opportunity to oiler the latter some advice ac to liis civil ser­ vice policy, etc., declaring he was kill­ ing the party. The President retort­ ed that it was jnst such insignificaut politicians AS he (M&yborne) that were kicking up all this muss about his pol­ icy, whereupon the valiant Major went for ltls excellency, In the most sarcas­ tic style. Then the President said, "I undeistand you cannot carry your own town." May borne--"I'll "show you if I can, or not." He "showed" list Tuesday.

He? derman, who has been night Tele­ graph Operator at this place tor more than a year, has received promotion, which takes him to New Ulm, Minne­ sota. I believe he will work as Man­ ager of the day office at that place.-- While we regret the loss of a, sociable y«»ung man we feel glad to see efficien­ cy and a tedioua faithfulness rewarded by promotion. F. J. Lincoln, of Morrison, 111. Is fil­ ling the position of night-operator at present and we hope he may enjoy his stay here, be it long or short. Tidings of the death of Arthnr, youngest Son of J. P. Yermilya, on last Wednesday afternoon, carried a thrill of sadness through this commun­ ity. In which lie was so well and so favorably known. It is seldom that a boy of 14 enjoyed the admiration and friendship of old and young to the ex- tent.that Artie did, and the sj'inpathy felt by our peopie in his sickness and suffering of three weeks of Typhoid fever is beautiful evtdenoe of the val­ ue which people put upon a good life. By open hearted manliness our young friend earned a place in the regards Of his acquaintances which remains a comforting memorial In the metnory of his relatives and playmates. The funeral was held at the Methodist Church in this place, and was attended by a large number of people anxious to pay the last respect* to t'leir young but none the less dear friend.-- The body was taken to the Cuba Cem- etry, near Barrlngton for interment and laid by the side of his Mother, who died but a year and a half ago.

M. Prltchard: "With increased circulating medium we ar« going to see better times. The system of contraction practiced by our government has proved a great out­ rage upon the American people. It has reduced thousands to bankruptcy and beggary. We should have *30 or $40 per capita in circulation, instead of 312 or #13 as now, France, the most prosperous nation on earth to-day, has ftbeut $40 per capita. Why eaunot our leaders learn wisdom from the suceess- f(|l,experiments of others? We shduld have #300,000.000 of greenbacks added at once to the circulating medium of the country. The people are thinking • for themselves, and are going to act sooh. The last straw is upon the cam- ePs back. A change has got to bis Dad in the national financial legislation.-- Finance should be the great study of every American citizen for the next decade, I am looking forward to ft time when a United States treasury note will be the current money of the world--good and accepted every where and at par with gold an* Hive*. I feel sure the latter would have been the case long ago if our financiers had -made it a legal tender foi all purposes **from the first. Notwithstanding the great stigma placed upon the green­ back, see how slowly end surely It has advanced to a par value with gold; so to-day it is ft legal tender in fact for the payment of duties upou imports-- a glorious change that presages better times for all our peopie.
