The seed sown has come up very thin, and the yield per acre will be small. In Illinois the prospects for the present corn crop are not the most fuvonlahle. The cold, backward spring and in many localities the protracted drought during most of-~ the planting season, together with, in many instances poor‘seed and destructive insects, are the principal causes which have operated to lower the COudition of the crop. The dunngges to the growing crops in Iowa by hailstorms will prove quite serious, us the wheat, rye, corn and other crops were'nll beaten to the ground in many localities. In such cases rye will of course be a total loss, _and wheat and outs , may not recover, but it is the general opinion that the corn is but little‘damaged. The spring wheat crop shows up very' fairly in most of the State's. ' ‘ L. O. L.

JULY 71,. 1881. “ Prp Bono Publicofl Great consternation and excitement has been produced by an attempt on the jlife of President Garfield. 'l‘he Presi~ dent, while buying a ticket at the Bal~ timow dz Potomac Railway depot, on Saturday morning last, was shot at by a half-crazed politician named Gittean. Two shots were fired, the first taking efl'ect near the shoulder, the second striking him in the back and passing into the bowels. The wounded man was immediately conveyed to the Executive mansion, but up to the present advices his life is despaired of. The most inâ€" tense excitement preVails over the en- tire continent _and cablegrams from Europe report the deepest indignation at the dastardly attempt. Running Hop, Step and Jumpâ€"lat, Jno.

In contemplating all the works of Nature, the most striking fact everywhere apparent is the small beginning of her grandest pro- ductions. The towering oskbegan as a small acorn. and the largest animal as a mere speck which a pin’s head would cover. It isvery frequently the same in the busy walks of life- great wealth or great distinction often emerges from the smallest, the humblest be- ginnings . Among our merchant princes how many instances could he not recount in illustration of our theme! There is one. however, whose career, se‘ reported to us, is one of the most remarkable in modern times. Some forty years ago, the ttame of Thomae Holloway was unknown, unheard of. He was only one of the multitude each of which eclipses hie neighbour, and is in his turn oclipslnl. Butnow, owing to the eminently succeeeiul medical theory and medicines which he has inventatl and intiodnced, his name is lt-euwn in every town of the United Kingdom. and in almost every town and city of the habitable globe. The late King of Siam not only constantly cnlereil llullo» wav's Medicines, but even directed” his amliassadois when over here to visit the l'rohsaor at his establishment. This they (liil in one ot the Queen's carriages, and pre- sented him with a large ntltl magnificent jewelleil ornament of grout price in the name of the King. llnjahs of India have in like manner imqllently visited Professor Hollo- way; so has the secretary of the {sinuous Sir Jnmseljoe Juojoobboy. who was knighted by the Queen.
