Atlanta, Ua., June t) • The Julc report is now ready t<> he issued from the .igHiui rural department. The general condition •ifthe crops ts thus outlined : The condition of (the growing crops is much below the average for tile season, i be oorn cron is 4 points below the re- oortt d condition of last year's crop on t he 1st of June. The oat crop falls to points, wheat H and cotton 16 below the condition >f last year at this date. The Irish potato < rop only is reported to be butter than : average. The heuvy rains In many localities have 'caused serious damage to corn and cot ton, necessitating in many instance.-, entire re planting of crops on bottom lands. The ■crops are from ten to twenty days behind t he usual stage of growth at this date. The retarded condition, due to a late spring and the necessity for replanting, has prole -ibly had an undue influence with cor respondence in these disparaging estimates, fae season has been phenomenal, and so nueli depends in the early stages of growth upon future contingent ies that a i oinpari son. as in this instance, with unlike sea sons gives an uncertain Indication of the prospective condition. The cotton stand is generally poor. This is attributed to the to.,1 weather, to the heating rains and linked condition of the lands, and is also due in a large degree to defective seed, resulting from the damaged condition of last year’s crop. Nearly a full crop of oats will he hum st ed in north Georgia, while only ah iut three-fourths of a crop will he realized in middle Georgia, and much less than this lu the more southern sections. In the southern portofthe state neurly the entire crop was sown in the fail, and was badly winter killed, and in many localities en tirely destroyed. Much of tins area, for Jack "of seed for resowing, has been planted In corn and cotton. The damage from rust in the whole state, but confined mostly to middle and cast Georgia, is about seven per cent. The wheat crop in north and middle Georgia, which embraces the most of its acreage, is leas t han two-thirds of an aver age. Since this crop, in the recent years with which the comparison is made for the present year, has hardly paid the cost of production, this cron will Ik produced doubtless at a considerable loss to the farmer. Hast has been reported in but few counties, ami with the general obser vation that the disease has been observed only cm the blades. The estimated dam- I age from this cause is I ixir cent. The I shortness of ttie crop is attributed mainly j to the severe freezes in January. The faumers of the state will be interest- ! cd In the following details: Corn—-The condition and prospect, com pared to the average of live years, in north j Georgia, is 90; in middle Georgia, lit, in | southsvest Georgia, 91; in east Georgia, 100; | in southeast Georgia, 101; and in tin whole j state, 96.

GOING TOO FAR. i U< ?• m •' SciMfii* Outcome of m % * • )>e>\ Im il I..I- <* ‘ by Soon SOi ImS, Ann Arbor, June 9.—A practical Juki played on some freshmen students at a boarding house on Williams street last evening came near ending in a tragedy, iccordihg to the reportsorthe victims. As the statements of members of the sopho more and freshmen classes are made, about '• n freshim u students, umongwhom weri Henry V Jackson and Hobert P. J.'imont , ' nth of Uetroit, inicl in ambush in the hall if a house in which a sophomore by the name of Ernest M. .Sprague was rooming, iwaiting ins anticipated return. Sprague, ■ m account of his size, ami being a member if the sophomore “rush line,” is a stand ing target for freshmen hazing, more on account of his prestige in class com bats than for any unpopularity or lisllko. On nis return to his room he was informed by a friendly ally just be fore entering what wot in store for him by a crowd of freshmen ill the house, and, se curing the aid of several members of his class, he locked the doors of the hall, climbed into his room through a window, and through a transom he tilled the hail with the noxious vapors of bromine. Tht iangerous drug, which produces a severe irritation of t he throat when inhaled, took immediate effect, and, no egress being pos sible from tlie stilling place, they remained for some time Indore willing to surrender and when lirially released, several of the number were in a semi-unconscious condi tion, one of the number emitting blood with the cough. They are afi reported out of danger to day, and, with one exception, no ill effects have followed, and this one is not in a crit cal condition. VICTIMS OF A MOCK MARRIAGE. Treiitile unit Annoymiri' Caused hy Trillins' With a .Solemn Ccri-mony. Ottawa, Juno 9.—Dr. Lovell, who in to day’s Canada Gazette gives notice of an ap plication to be separated from bis wife, is the victim of a mock marriage ceremony. Popular rumor had spread it about that he was to marry Miss Ada Mary Eaton, of Newburgh. They have been friends from childhood, but no thought of marriage had ever existed in their minds. The young couple chanced to meet in September, 1882, in a friend’s house in Hamilton and went through the marriage ceremony its a Joke. The ceremony was performed by a young clergyman, and sometime later "it was dis covered that the ceremony was really bind ing. Miss Eaton got married to another man before the mistake was discovered, and application for a separation is made to endeavor to right matters. Tin- Yellow Fever Hill. Washington, June 9.—Another effort is to tie made to pass the yellow fever com mission bill. It is at present on the house calendar ns unfinished business, where it can never be reached. It is proposed now to call it, up in the senate where it has many friends, and puss it there, and then let it go on that calendar of the house where, by tin- recognition of one of its friends by the speaker, it can be reached. Tho speaker is friendly to the measure and would tie glad to see it rescued from the parliamentary pocket it Is in. The belief is that by reduc ing the appropriation from 125,000 to <10,- 000, and cutting off tho salaried civilian member of the commission, all opposition to the bill in the house would disappear. Messrs. Eustus and Harris will manage tho measure in the senate. S4.

Tobacco. - Correspondents have been j asked to give the total number of acres this year in tobacco in their respective counties. Responses to this question have been received from 46 counties, reporting 2153 acres. The entire acreage in 1879, ae- •cording to the census report,was 971 seres. Assuming a proportional increase in the acreage iii counties from which no reports have been received,that of the present year will be about 3500 acres. About three- fourths of .this, area is in north Georgia and ttu- I.iTgar part of the remaining fourth in middle ‘Georgia. 3&e correspondents, with but few excep tions, Htatc that the crop promises good , remulfc.
