The conditions were quite favorable to
growing crops, especially so in tbe central
and northern portions, where hoavy rains
fell nearly everywhere; in the southern
portion the rains were badly distributed
and sufficient rains, to be beneficial to the
crops fell only in few localities; the temperature was only Blightly above the average with about average sunshine. Many
thunder storms passed over tho State,
some accompanied by large hail and strong
winds which prostrated the wheat in
some fields, the wheat continues in splendid condition, but the grain aphis is making its appearance in great uumbors again;
clover is getting ripe and the abundant
rains caused corn to grow moro vigorously; oats is almost a complete failure; fruit
and cherries promise a great yield and
even some of the northernmost stations report strawberries abundant and of good
quality.
SOUTHEBN TOBTION.
"Worthington, Greene Co.—The drouth
has boen broken by generous rains; fairly
warm weather and much moisture have
improved the appearance of vegetation
very much; wheat will now mature and
corn will do well but the oats crop is beyond redemption. Tbero has -been somo
large hail and strong wind doing some
damage but only in small localities. Bain-
fall, 1.07.
Seymour, Jackson Co.—The weather
conditions were favorable to the growth of
crops, corn is backward and many fields
have been replanted, but with good weather there Is a promise for an average yield;
the wheat harvest will begin in about t wo
weeks and the yield promises to be above
an average in quality and quantity; littlo
damage has been done by noxious insects ;
of fruits and all kinds of vegetables there
will be a good average yield. The recent
generous rains have . atly benefited
crop prospects and the outlook generally,
is encouraging.   Kainfall, 2.86.
DeGoniaSprings, Warrick Co. Thograin
aphis is on the" wheat, some bugs on oats
and also few potato bugs. Corn is suffering much for want of rain; planting can
not be finished until rain comes. Clover
is about ripe; pastures and meadows show
the eflect of the drouth.   Rainfall. 0.30.
Mount Vernon, Posey Co.—More rain is
needed. Wheat harvest will commence
about the 12th; the clover crop is being
harvested this week: corn is growing fast
and potatoes look promising. Kainfall,
0.46.
Marengo, Crawford Co.—The weather
has beon hot for the season, the thermometer registered as high as 90 degrees in the
shade; the ground is very dry and hot;
there were several light rains which were
beneficial to the growth of vegetation, but
the ground is yet dry although not parch
ing.   Rainfall, 0.70.
Troy, Perry Co.—The weathor has been
warm and the light rains on the 2nd did
much good. Wheat looks well, heads well
filled but short; corn is a good stand and
much is ready for the plow.
Columbus, Bartholomew Co.—Cloudy,
wet weather prevailed; but littlo work
done in corn; pasturage and vegetation is
thriving; some wheat has been blown
down.   Rainfall, 2.42.    -
Princeton, GiDson Co.—Wheat looks remarkably well, it is heading outfinbly;
harvest will soon commence; corn is small
but in good condition; May cherries are
ripe; strawberries very abundant; fruit of
all kinds is in fine condition; for the past
two "weeks there were several remarkably
heavy honey-dews; honey bees are very
rich; the dry spell was  broken on the 5th
by fine rains.   Kainfall, 0.05.
CENTRAL PORTION.
Indianapolis, Marion Co.—Excessive
rainfall during tbe week; wheat never
looked better, or more promising; corn is
growing nicely and shows a better stand;
oats is a failure.   Kainfall, 1.34.
Richmond, Wayne Co.—The long expected rains camo at last and the drouth
is ended; heavy rains on the 3d fairly deluged the parched earth and changed the
whole aspect and everything looks green
again; it is leared that damage has beon
done to wheat by heavy rain and wind,
which caused it to fall just as it was heading out; cut worms are doing injury to
corn and necessitates much replanting; 32
years ago to-day there was a hoavy frost
which injured corn, then two feot high,
and wheat which was in bloom. Rainfall, 2.(W.
Mauzy, Rush Co.—Heavy rain and some
hail on the 3d; the ground is very wet;
pasture is good; corn is small and oats in
fair condition.   Kainfall, 2 SO.
Sheibyville, Shelby Co.—The wheat crop
will be large, above average; grain is filling well, no disease, no smut as yet; corn
is late but coming up evenly and of good
color; oats will bo a short crop and late,
the hay yield will also bo below average;
tho rains wero local in character, in some
places they were of large amounts. Rainfall, 3.23.
Franklin, Johnson Co.—The drouth
ended June 1st by heavy thunder storms
on five days; some hail fell the size of
musket balls; the ground is too wet to
plow; wheat looks well except there are
very many black heads and some has
been blown down; corn and oats
are improving fast; timothy and clover
will bo light.   Rainfall, 3.00.
NOBTHEBN POBTION.
Point Isabel, Grant Co.—Excessive rains
fell which has been of great benefit to
grass and oats but unfavorable to wheat;
corn is all up and looks well; wheat still
locks fine; the prospect for much fruit is
very flattering; there will be a big crop of
berries.   Rainfall, 2.. 1
Marion, Grant Co.,—The good effects of
the rains have far overshadowed the bad
effects of the cool cloudy weather; a very
heavy thunder storm passed on the 3d
with incessant lightning, striking some
houses.   Rainfall, 2 20
LaPorte, LaPorte Co.—Three warm days
and four cold; three rainy days, five
cloudy and two of sunshine. Wheat is
nearly all headed out and continues in
fine condition; oats and grass have not
recovered from the drouth, and the prospect for* a good yield is poor; corn is up
but is weak and yellowforwant of warmth
and sunshine. There are somo cut worms
and somo fields require replanting; on the
5th, people were cultivating in overcoats
and mittens; strawberries are just ripening.   Rainfall, 2 00.
Shideler, Delaware Co.—Corn is in fine
condition, so is grass, whoat and rye;
the fruit prospect is good. We have had
much rain, but not too much to injure
anything.
Delphi, Carroll Co.—Reports are unfavorable as regards wheat, much is said to
be badly down; the frequent rains have
not materially prevented making corn except the last two days.   Kainfall, 1 G9.
Logansport, Cass Co.—The weather has
been favorable to all crops and pasturage;
there fell heavy rain and some hail but no
in j ury was caused, heavy wheat was blown
down but not injured; corn is short but of
good color and there is every indication
for the best crop in years.   Kainfall, 1.74.
Angola, Steuben Co.—The weather has
been very benoficial to crops; the first
part of  the  week  there  was  good corn
weather and it has grown quite rapidly;
wheat looks splendid and no insects are
visible yet.   Rainfall, 1.00.
Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co.—The large
amount of rain during the week caused
corn to make rapid growth; the acreage of
corn in this county is above the average;
wheat is looking well. Prof. Webster
superintendent of the United Statos Agricultural Experiment Service reports the
appearance of the grain aphis ou the wheat
in great numbers. Strawberries are abundant and of good quality.

We must decline hereafter to reply to queries by
mail. It was not our intention to open a free legal
bureau, as many seem to think, for the benefit of
private individuals, although subscribers. All we
can consistently do Is to give opinions on cases of a
general character, such as are likely to occur to citizens In any part of the State at anytime, aud the
answers to which will be generally useful. These
questions should be stated as clearly and briefly as
possible.
A deeds real estate to his heirs K and C
describes the land by motes and bounds,
so as to leave a passway two rods wide between B's and C's lands. A few years after B and C close up said passway and sell
out to I) and E. A being de^d who is tho
rightful owner of said two rods?
R. B. W.
D and E.
A man lays out a town and sells lots and
lays out a main street 00 feet wide for the
public, but the town is never incorporated
and is finally used as other farming land.
Now can the general public claim a CO foot
road where the county road passes
through, as a common 30 foot road?
A Subscriber.
If the GO feet street was never used by
the public and it has been six years there
the street is abandoned; or if the road has
been only 30 feet wide for over 20 years,
then it can be no wider.
.1. A owns a farm on both sides of the
public highway, through which runs a
stream spanned by a bridgH. Has A a
right to join his fence to the abutments of
said bridge, in order to secure his pasture
land? 2. Has neighbor B a right to claim
a ford, when said highway is 40 feet wide?
The back end of the abutment measures
thirty-two feet across, leaving four feet on
each side of the bridge. E. C. S.
1. A has the right to join the fence to the
abutment provided he does not obstruct
the free passage of the highway.
2. No.
A owns a farm and 'mortgages it to B
without using the words "more or loss" in
it. The farm is described by specific corners, B forecloses and it is found that there
is a surplus. Now because there are more
rods from one corner to the other than
are mentioned in the description, and
therefore a surplus, can A make a claim to
the surplus when 15 attempts to ejoct him
on foreclosure? A Subscriber.
If the description is so many rods to
the corner, then it goes to the corner although there may be more rods than the
number mentioned, and the surplns
would pass to B on foreclosure.
L and M are partners, equally, L does
all the work and M the theory part. When
they began an agreement was drawn but
never signed, but both worked on it. At
tho expiration of the year L withdrew and
the partnership stands open. Must it be
settled up? If so whose duty is it to move
in the matter? M went off and overdrew
bank account and banker drew from L's
private account to make up the difference.
By so overdrawing is L liable for all or
only ono half?
If the money overdrawn was used in
the partnership, then L is liable |for only
one half, but if used in his private business then he is liable for all. Either
partner may proceed to settle up the partnership business.
