Ihe Octobpr crop returns show that the condition of the present corn crop has been equaled only three times in ten years, and is exceeded materially only by that of 1879, when the condition was 98 and the subsequent acertained yield 28 bushels.

The present average of condition is 92, against 94.2 in September. There has been no decline in the Northwest, and the status of the corn-surplus State remains as on September first. The indications favor a result ranging little from 26 bushels per acre, making a full average. The condition of buckwheat has declined heavily from 93.7 last month to 78.3, mainly from frosts. The average condition of the potato crop is 87.

a decline of less than 4 points. Tobacco has fully maintained the the conditions of last month, averaging for all kinds 88.3. The returns relative to wheat are those of yield per acre, by counties. As consolidated, the general average for winter wheat is 12 bushels per acre and for spring wheat slightly over 10 bushels. The former has yielded better than the early expectation, the latter is much worse.

This, is of course, in measured bushels. The quality is much below the average, which will still further reduce the surplus, as will be shown more exactly here after from testimony of inspection and millers' weights. The Winter wheat averages of States of considerable production are: New York, Pennsylvania, 13.7 Maryland, 14.5; Virginia, 8.7; Texas 1JU Tennessee, 6.2; Kentucky, 112; Qhio.

Mr. Morgan remarked that before ho would five in the United States under another Democratic administration, he would go to Canada. We would ask the indulgence of onr readers long enough to tell them that it is utterly impossible for us to give you a paper worthy of our city with the patronage now given, and we believe it is to your interest to see that Lane county and Dighton send out at least a set of papers equal to those of any of our neighboring towns and counties. Fred Sargent and Afiss Mollie Brewer, were married at Bavanna last Saturday.

Monday, Madison Jones, a colored gentleman living in Alamota township brought to the Journal, office five stalks of cotton which he raised this year. It is not quite so large as is raised in the southern states, so we are informed by parties who knew, yet it is large for this new country, and without cultivation. A large number of places in this state have been raising it, yet none have considered it a very profitable crop for this country. Mr.
