Switzer Nightmare.
Well, what next? Here isRcv. Ceorgi Switzer. oT Crawfordsville. reporting to the papers that at the midnight hour caught sight of a rapidly floating white object, which appeared tobe about sixteen feet long and eight feet wide." Is it possible this object was the echo or ghost or A. L. Kmiller's speech in the Pet tit ease? That is what comes from Rev. Mr. Switzer sleeping on that creaking cot. which he bought at the camp meeting, ll was the property of Mr. Pettit. and according to some of the witnesses could a tale unfold, whose lightest word would make a busy world aghast. But this white object, with wings, eight feet widv. and body sixteen feet long! This is not the time for mince pie scenery, at the midnight hour, when grave yards yawn, and thirsty preachers arise to cool their parched tongues with a tlrop of water from nature'sfount. But what was the object? Bacon declares that "all bodies have spirits within them:" and it may be this white winged messenger of alarm was a flock of yellow legged chickens that had come fourth in their nocturnal wanderings to warn the minister that they were all that was left of the camp meeting feasts.

BOUNTIFUL CROPS.
Favorable Report of ths Agricultural Department,
Gratifying Returns from the WheatGrowing States—Com Not Yet Secure from Frost.
vii-.t.D oi-- nil-: riKi.ns.
WASHINGTON, nent- 1^.—Tlu: statistician of the department of agriculture reports the September general average of cereal crops as follows: Corn, !M.l wheat. Stti.S: rye, !»."». 1: oats, '.10.7: barley, buckwheat, fti.ii. A small advance is noted in all, buckwheat alone excepted. The average of potatoes is *.14.S: for tobacco, ST.4.
Condition of corn is twenty-one points higher than in September of last year and has been exceeded only three times in the last ten years. State averages are generally high, the lowest are those of Michigan and Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota- coming next, while South Dakota. Nebraska and Kansas make figures under the general average. In the eastern and middle states the crop is well grown, is generally earing well, but a little late, anil recent cool nights prevent rapid advancement, yet frost has as yet tkine no damage. In the Ohio valley corn is heavy in stalk, somewhat late in earing from cool nights, in some places has been blown down by heavy winds, yet is generally very promising.
In Indiana and Illinois there was more injury from drought in July and early in August, which has been partially repaired by recent rains. If frosts holds off ten days nothing but the latest planting can be injured. Absolute immunity from loss would require exemption through September, yet most of the breadth is already safe.
In Michigan there has been considerable injury from frost in late-planted fields. Wisconsin reports damage from frosts of August 22 to 28 and in some cases still earlier. Some areas have been cut up for fodder in this latitude. Many Minnesota correspondents promise a good crop if frost holds off, while in valley lands and the more northern sections it has already done considerable damage. There are also returns of injury from frost in the Dakotas. In Iowa and Nebraska the crop is late and would be injured by frost prior to September 20, and needs the entire month for ripening of late-planted areas.
In Missouri heavy rains in June, drought in July and heavy rain and windstorms recently have been unfavorable to the highest condition. On well cultivated and drained areas corn is very heavy. Condition is variable in Kansas, the western district suffering from drought, while eastern counties have abundant moisture and a heavy crop.
The condition of wheat is very high, considering both winter and spring varieties. The general average has only been exceeded slightly twice since 1879 —in 1882 and 1884. State averages are quite uniform, hut ten falling below 95 and three below HO, the lowest being Stt for South Carolina and 84 for North Carolina.
The figures for the principal wheatgrowing states are as follows: Ohio, 9S Michigan. !S: Indiana, 100: Illinois, 100: Wisconsin. 'JO, Minnesota, 100 Iowa. !!'.) Missouri, 94 Kansas, 81) Nebraska, '.is: North Dakota. 9-1: South Dakota, 99: California. 98: Oregon, 97 Washington, 93.
With variable returns in 'Ohio and Michigan the tenor of remark as to quality, quantity and condition is very favorable, hi Indiana. Uliuois, Missouri and Kansas thrashing gave yields better than was expected.
The remarks concerning quantity and quality of spring wheat in Minnesota are extremely favorable, with very slight drawbacks from frost and wet, and nearly as favorable in Iowa, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Extreme yields of HO to 40 bushels are reported in all these states. OThe spring wheat of the Pacific coast has been somewhat injured by hot and blighting weather.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—The secretary of the treasury has decided to make a further withdrawal of 82,000,000 from depository banks.
