The National Agricultural Department Report. Washington dispatcli.l Tho report of tho Commissioner of Agriculture for Soptembor has just been issued. It gives a very interesting report on Ihe condition of ihe crops in Europe, India, and oiher foreign counlrioR. In Europe, as compared with last year, tho barley and out acreages have fallen off 5 8-10 per cent and '2 N-10 per cent., respectively, nnd tho (slight gain of 2.4 per cent, in wheat has no significance beyond the fine condition of the land in tho last sowing season. A dispatch (o London from Calcutta expresses tho opinion that India will lo able lo export r0,(Nt(l,(HK ImsliolK of wheat to foreign countries litis year. The ('imiiiiissioncr observes that (he increase of exports from India fiom a few hundred thousand
bushels per annum ten to twenlv veais ago to .'17,llK.5ia bushels in 1K81-8J, nud 30,ld7,il77 bushels of sixty pounds for Ib'SU-Sl (year ended March has excited tho attention of the wheat-growing countries. It is known that India euinrs near to France ami lhissin in tho volume of
wheat production, and that these countries have only one onl-rankiug competitor the I'nited Stales of America. Tho Commissioner speaks of the folly of attempting to "feed the nations of tho earth, lie says: "The area in wheat is now 3S,S00,0G0 acres, and 12.011(1,000 acres are cultivated in excess of the wants of the 001111117, tho produce of which mnsi bo sold abroad, mainly iu Liverpool in competition wiih the grain of liussia, of Kouth America, of Austria, and of India. It is sent 1. 500 miles bv land and 3.000
miles by sea, and from California
more than half round the world
to compete with tho half-civilized fellahs of Egypt and the slaves of India, It is a competition unworthy of American freemen, and utterly unnecessary, being caused by bad calculation iu the distribution of crop areas, for while we export one-
third of tho wheat production we iniiort
one-seventh of all the barley consumption and $100,000,000 worth of sugar at foreign
valuation, which brings $150,000,000 in our
local markets, 111 addition to tho costs and profits of refining hero."
POISONING THE INNOCENTS.
Children Falling' Victims lo the bakesNutt Fend at Uniontown, Pa.
TJnlontown )Vtt.) special. Intense excitement has boon caused here by tho discovery of an atrocious attempt to take ihe lives of the members of the Nutt family. Tho well from which tho supply of water was drawn was poisoned by some unknown miscreant. Two of the young ladies are already dead, and other inembors of the family are dying. As far as ean be ascertained, thero is no apparent motive for the deliberate crime, and all efforts made thus far to trace tho persons eugaged in the horrible affair have proved a signal failure. The first intimation of the coming horror was the announcement last evening of the sudden death of Miss Armio Nntt, sister of Miss Lizzie Nutt, whose betrayal by X. L. Dukes was followed by tho tragic death of tho young girl's father, and subsequently of Dnkos, who was shot by James Nutt. This evening Miss Nellie Nutt, another of the sisters, expired, and news of her death was quickly circulated through the town, intensifying public opinion over tho horrifying revelations. The water in the well is being analyzed, and the people ara awaitin with intense anxiety the result of the examination. Iu the absence of any known motive for the crime the story of tho Nntt scandal and the events following it are being excitedly discussed, and although there may he 110 truth in it the theory is advanced that sonio friend of Dukes has resorted to this disagreeable net to avene his killing by tho brother of Miss Lizzie Nutt. Young James Nutt, tho avenger of his sister's honor, who is at home, and also his siRter Lizzie, were both made ill, but their condition is not critical.

I-osstsHcit my entiro devotion, aiy ono wisn was to secure her to myself by an indissoluble tie against every nossihlo contiutrcnev in life.
and on the :vth day of June, ISM, just prior te
my departure iroiu nenvucKy, we were, in sne presence of chosen and trusted friends, united by what 1 know was in mv native State of Pennsylvania a perfectly legal form of marriage. On reaching home i found that my family, and especially my ltereavod mother, strongly discountenanced mv business plans as involv
ing 100 long a separation from home and kindnd. 1 compiled with her wish that 1 should
resume, at least tor a time, my occupation in Kentucky, whither 1 returned in the latter part Of August. l'uriug tho ensuing winter, induced by misgivings, which were iucreasod by local o msulta :10ns, 1 became alarmed testa doubt might be thrown niton the validity of our marriage by
reisonof non-compliance with the law of the
Male w, ere it nan occnrrcii, tor 1 nau icarneo that the laws of Kent ucy made a license certified bv the Clerk of the County Court an indisin usable recmisito of a le-:al marriage. Aftci much deliberation, and with an anxious desire to guard in the most effectual manner against any embarrassment resorting from onr position for which I alone was reiKnsiblc we decided that the simplest and at the same time the surest way was to repair to l'emisylvania and have another marriage service performed. This was dono in the presence oi witnesses in the city of Pittsburgh, in the month ot March, lsrl, but was not otherwise made public, for obvions reasons. It was solemnized only to secure an iudisi utable validity the first marriage being by myself and my wife always held sacred. At the mature age of St I do not defend the wisdom or prudence of a secret marriage, suggested by tho ardor and tho inexperience ol youth; but Its honor and its purity wero inviolate, as I believe, in tho sieht of God, and can not be made to appear otherwise by the wicked le ices of men. It brought to me a companion, ship which has been my chief happiness from boyhood's years to this hour, and has crowned me with whatever success I havo attained in life. My eldest child, a son, was born in his grandmother's house on the Mil day of June, ls.,1, in the city of Augusta, Me., aud died in her anui thr years later, llis ashes repose in the ccm. eu rv of his native city, beneath a stone whle.li recorded his name and the limits of his innocent lite. That stone, which had stood for almost an entire generation, lias been recently defaced bj brutal and sacrilegious ban.ls. As a candidate for the Presidency I knew that I should cncomit-r many forms of calumny and IK'isouiil defamation, but I confess that I did not cxiiect to lie called upon to defend the name ot a tieloved and honored wife, who is a motbet and a grandmother; nor did I expect that the gi are. of my littlo child would be cruelly desecrated Against snoh gross forms of wrong tho law gives no adequate redress, and I know that in the cud my most effective arnical against t lie unspeakable outr-tges which I resist must be tc the noble manhood and noble womanhood ol America. Your friend very- sincerely, James Q. Buuns. STATE OF TBADE.
Hut Slight Improvement in Business Brad, street's ltrport, Sew York special. I Pratlxlreel'n Journal, in its commercial summary for the week, says: Tho telegraphic advices to UradMreet's this week, alt honyh telling of slight advances at some points, again fail to reveal any decided improvement in the general trade situation. The cooler weather lias stimulated the demand for heavy dry goods and clothing. The seabo ird cities send no news of special moment, save that at Boston a belief appears to prevail in an early improvement in the dry goods movement, Genera! trade at Boston is reported mora satisfactory in volume than in prices. tioing west, Olovclnnd complains of the flat iron market, while St. Louis notes a slight improvement in iron. The San Francisco correspondent tells of quicker Sides oi dry goods, but sends no other fjood word. At Ht. I'anl wheat has been somewhat lowered in grade, owing to injury by lain. The pries' ut l'urgo for No. 1 hard is 53 cents aud at Cmnd Forks 51 cents. The Minuesofci famicrs are persisting in their refusal to sell. At some Western points the farmers are borrowing money, where possible, aud hoarding their grain. The coal trade shows an improvement, and iron is unchanged, save us regards the better demand reported nt St. Louis. The iron men are awaiting developments iu the coal trade. The New York dry goods market has been helped by the cool weather. Cotton continues neglected by speculators, and spots nud futures have had a further decline. Dispatches to Bradstreet's from Texas indicate that the weather lias continued too dry over a part of the State. Trade in wool has been less active, but thero has been no weakening of prices at any point FAILURE BEC0KD.

Cleveland and Senator PayneMr. Hendricks was Introduced by cx-Scnator Thurman, and commenced by saying that he had liefore him aa article written for the Coimn rial linietir, and copied very extensively by Republican papers, to the effect that in is:i a club was formed at what waa vailed the Ktone House, in St. Clair Township, this county, by about seventy persons, who were disloyal to the Union, called tho Vallandigham Club, and that ho (Hendricks) was invited and came to St. Clair Township and helpedform the club. "1 wish to say." he continued, "that 1 never knew there was a house called the Stone House, nor a Ht, Clair Township, until I saw it in this article. I only refer to this as an example of tho multitude of false statements the Republican press has put in circulation about tho Democratic candidates. A lie never hurts a man; it is the truth that hurts."

Ho repeated his argument on this point used in other addresses, aud in the main devoted his time to the same lino followed in othor places. The meeting waa very enthusiastic, and, by reason of its great size, much enthusiasm existed at times, rendering it difficult to hear what was said.
John II. Gougb Speaks for St. John. Boston dispatch.1 Fellow citizens, I am no politician, and I am not going to make a political speech. For fortytwo vcar I have been righting this liquor trade against tho trade that robbed me of seven of the best vcars of my life. I have long voted the Itepublicau tlckt, hoping always for help In my contest in the Republican party. But wo have lieen exacting something from that party in, vain, and now, when they havo treated the most respectful appeal from the most respectable men in this country with silent contempt, I say It ia time to leave off trusting and to express oar opinion of the party. Applause. I do not believe in compromises ot any sort, nor have I lielicved in them at any timo in my career. I have fought the drink tiaffic right straight through, and I want Prohibitionists to show an uncompromising trout to that traffic. I"Hearl" "Hear!"
