The fol lowing is the weather crop bulletin issued by the signal office : During the week ending October 1 the weather has been cooler than usual in all the agricultural districts east of the Rocky mountains, the av erage daily temperature ranging from 3 to G degrees below the normal in the central valleys, except from Vir ginia to Florida, where the tempera ture was but slightly below the nor mal. The temperature for the season from January 1 to October 1 was slightly below the normal on the At lantic coast and from New England Westward to the Missouri valley, and it was slightly warmer than usual in the Ohio and central Mississippi val leys and generally throughout the Southern States, the average daily excess or deficiency generally amount ing to less than two degrees. The rainfall for the week has been in excess throughout the greater por tions of the cotton and tobacco region and Over the winter wheat regions from Ohio westward to Missouri and Iowa.; In the regions that have suf fered j most from draught, covering the greater portion of Illinois, south ern Indiana, eastern Iowa and, the greater portion of Missouri, the rain fall has been largely in excess. Less than the usual amount of rain fell along the south Atlantic coast, in northern New England,, western New York, Nebraska and the northwestern portions of Iowa. Large deficiency in rainfall for the season continued in the central valleys, but this deficiency .has been re duced during the week in the wheat and corn regions of the Northern States. Over the greater portion of the cotton region the defi ciency has exceeded ten inches. In thje tobacco regions of Virginia, Ken tucky and Tennessee the deficiency in rainfall for the season generally amounts to less than fire inches, ex- eiueuie western puruuua of Tennessee and Kentucky, where the deficiency in rainfall for the season exceeds ten inches. The only States reporting excess of rainfall for the season are Pennsylva. ma, Maine, southern New York, west portions of Kansas and Nebraska, northern Texas and Colorado. During1 tho week the weather has been favorable for harvesting cotton in the States west pf the Mississippi and in the extreme eastern portion of the cotton region, while cool weather and heavy rains have effected this and other growing crops unfavorably m Mississippi. . Frosts occurred in the northernj : portion of the tobacco region of the Ohio valley and along' the Atlantic I coast as far south as Virginia, which I probably resulted in some injury to the crops. These frosts were antici pated and warnings were issued by this office, giving timely notice of the occurrence. The rains which have occurred dur ing the week in the winter wheat re- , gions will prove of special value, as the sowing of wheat haa been delayed I in that section, owing to '.the continu ance of the drought.

These lines recSrd the passing away of a remarkable man, who was a typical North Carolinian of the olden time. He was a native of Chatham county, and spent the greater part of his life in its service and for the pub lic good. 1 . Immediately upon reaching his ma jority he was elected to a seat in the House of Commons in 1827, just 60 years ago, to which the elder Nathan Stedman had preceded him in 1810. He was subsequently sent from Chatham to the Senate in 1832-33, and in 1834 was made Comptroller of Tublic Accounts of North Carolina. After his successful administration of that responsible office, he lived for a number. of years at Pittsboro, as the cierK or tne court, in the midst ol a people that he loved and who appre ciated his rare strength of character, sturdy patriotism and high ideal of citizenship. lie was the personal friend and political counselor of many distinguished - m'en who made that field famous by the conflicts of cham 1U, l.ue POA lcu campaigns oi i me oiaie. vas unainam goes soloes the State'' was a maxim in politics then as now, ana Mr. toteaman s convic- i t m uons, Aonesty oi purpose ana rare powers gave him wide spread influ ence that was well bestowed.

SXYERAL.VESSEL8 0 DOWN AND THE LOSS OF LIFE IEOIiABLY CONSIDERA BLE A NUMBER NOT AC COUNTED FOR OTHER NEWS BY WIRE. Chicago, Oct. 4. A St. Joseph, Mich.. SDecialaavp: The'sehonnfir Hal J 1 vana, owned by Capt. A- P. Read, of Kenosha, was sighted off this port yes terday morning flying a signal of dis tress. The vessel was in a sinking condition ; and ; the crew unable to keep her hold clear of water. Capt tain John Curran concluded to beach her if possible and headed for the shore at 9 o'clock. When about three-fourths of a mile off shore the vessel went down and the crew were seen climbing into the rigging. There were seven men aboard. Capt. Cur ran, Steward John Morris and a sailor named Joseph Clint climbed into the "main rigging and the others into the fore rigging. As the vessel gave a heavy lurch the mainmast crashed overboard, carrying three men intO;the breakers. They struck out for shore, and when last seen were breasting the waves. They were prob ably drowned. The remaining four men clung to the cross-trees for nearly three hours, when a tug came to their rescue. It took nearly three-quarters of an hour to get the men from their perilous position. The mate had his arm broken before tbe vessel sahk,but clung to the mast with the grit of a hero. The captain and crew of the tug deserve much praise for the rescue, as there was a terrible sea running and the little tug was tossed about so that those who watched her from the shore thought she would surely founder. The Havana had a carcro of GOD tons of ore. She lies about six miles north of this port in ten to twelve fathoms. . ; St. la'xAdt, Mich., October 4. The Canadian' passenger propeller Califor nia, which left Chicago Saturday night, was struck by yesterday's gale in Lake Michigan. Her hold soon filled, extinguishing the fires and, about 1 o'clock, when off St. Helena, she broke up and went down. Seven of the crew reached Point Les Bar be s in the Kf e boat in an almost lifeless condition., Those not accounted for are Capt. John Trowel, first mate, purser, first engineer, second en gineer, one fireman, cook, cabin boy and two lady passengers. It is pos sible that the captain and some of the crew may have reached St. .Helena in the other boat. ,Detboit, October -4. A special to the Evening Journal from Mackinac says: Captain Trowel, of the wrecked propeller California, with the first and second engineers, cook and one lady passenger, were picked up by the propeller A. olijom and brought to Mackinac, : and the Bteamer I Paxtoh picked up another man wha was drift ing down the straits on some wreck age, . .

Offerings of bonds to the 'government continue light and it is now thought that the balance of the fourteen million called for by the circular of September 22d will not be secured by the 8th inst. It is therefore likely that the period fixed for the purchase of bonds for the Kinking fund may be extended a few days or that Secretary Fairchild may decide to allow the offer to re main open indefinitely until the re quired amount shall have been ob tained. Today's offers agcrrecrated $168,850 of which $154,400 were four and a half per cents and $14,450 four per cents.

Oliver, president of the Amnesty Associa tion which has charge of petitions to Gov.

Outside of Chicago there is a great demand for petition blanks and thousands of copies have been jsent to many cities and towns in Iowa, Colorado, Cali fornia, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and other States. New York alone will furnish some 50,000 signatures to the petition, while in Bos ton a great many signatures oi promi nent citizens can be obtained. Iu Chicago the number of signatures is large. Most of the members of the various labor organizations have t igned the petition. ' The defense fund of the anarchists has been considerably increased since the announcement ot the decision of the Supreme Court. Subscriptions j a favor of the anarchists have been started in England. Gustave Bels tays that during the last two weeks t he amount of money subscribed to the defense fund by the Geiman unions of Chicago amounts to nearly 30.000.

It is in the matter of arithmetical studies, in which the cramming process had reached such a stage that the scholars in the gram mar schools were overtasked daily with a lot of exhausting and useless prob lems, having little or no application to pratical business life. I hey were mental discipline" that ancient excuse which always comes forward when the uselessness of certain studies is urged upon teachers. Gen eral Francis A. Walker was in Bos ton the other day, and made it plain to the board that it was a sheer waste of time and nerve-force to require the pupils to solve problems beyond their comprehension, or havmg no practical application, and that pupils would be benehted by discontinuing the custom of requiring: them to work out their "examples'' in the eve nine- at home. The result of Gener al Walker's address, and of views ex pressed by other gentlemen, is that the board recomends that "mensura tion of the trapezoid," "cube root and its applications,'-' and "compound proportion," shall be optional rather than obligatory studies; that home work shall be required as little as possible, and that "all exercises in fractions, commission, discount, and proportion, be confined to small num bers and to simple subjects and pro cesses, the main purpose through out being to secure-thoroughness accuracy and a reasonable degree o facility, in plain, ordinary "ciphering." ihere is good, plain common sons in that proposition.
