The Crops and tho Harvest In Michigan.
From the Detroit Free Press, July 81

Already has the harvest begun III portions or the
State In some of the southern and southwestern
counties farmers commenced cutting their wheat
last Monday, and throughout that sec ton it is
thought that this week will see the harvest well un
der way The present season is one of the worst
that farmers have experienced for a long time, on
account of large quantity of their work being
forced into very small compass of time. The cold
spring, well the worthlessness of much of the
seed corn used making it necessary to repant their
fields, has delayed hoeng until the time for haying
and now both crowd upon harvesting. At the same
time the wool clip has to be prepared for market
and, what with all these things combined, farmers
find themselves just now in hurTying times. The
first of August must be crowded into space of no
more than four weeks.
Many fears have been expressed for the wheat
crop on account Of the ravages of the weevi These
fears have foundation in truth, although these
ravages not SO extensive as many would have us
believe. So far as our advices extend, the greatest
difficulty is experienced in Genesee and Oakland
counties where whole fields have been totally de-
stroyed. In some places the crops are not worth
harvesting, and cattle have been turned into the
fields. In the southern part OF the State, however,
the same amount of damage has not been expert
enced, because the weevl did not make their APP
pearance until the largest portion Of the wheat was
too far advanced to be injured by them. The berry
had become too hard for them TO enter, and they
had consequently penetrated no further than the
husk, where they could do no possible harm
to the wheat although their depredatons had caused
the stray chaf to appear ripper than 1t really was.
The weevil, TO be sure will damage the wheat crop
Of the State to some extent but not sufficiently to
diminish the total amount Of the harvest by any con-
siderable quantity. Very many have feared that the
crops would be injured by rust but we are not ad-
vised as yet of the existence Of sny In any part of
the State.
Corn looks decidedly well. That which was first
planted where the seed proved good il now as for
ward as the crop was last year at this time. Tha.
which replanted IL, TO be sure, quite small, but
the warm weather of the last few weeks has pushed
il forward very fast, and continuance of the same
weather for few weeks more will place the result
Of the harvest beyond doubt. II the corn crop of
the present year shall prove worthless it will be from
some cause that operates upon il hereafter not from
anything that has already transpired.

To-day there Is being held an important meeting

Lake Michigan for iemodelling and permanent occu

important Lake Michigan. Buffalo, Cleveland and
Detroit in the paluy days Of sidewheel navigation
were among the busiest aud most thriving cities in
the Union That activity must follow the steamboat
tonnage westward Propellers and railroads are the
great means Of communication for those cities at

In view Of these facts, we hazard but little In
saving that twelve months from this date, Milwau-
kie will have the heaviest side wheel steam tonnage

this be true, does il not behoove our City Council

THE CHILD wIfNEss-A TOUCHING SCENE

prom the Chicago Tribune July
A most bloody and brutal murder was discovered
thia morning IN the North Division, which must have
been committed on the day previous. The murdered
person Ia a woman, named jane McNamee.
The first intelligence Of the murder was communi-
Gated by McNamee himself, who entered the stable
Of Mr.. Wright, his employer, about four o'clock In
the morning and, with both hands raised, hurredly
exclaimed to the Waterman on the premises,
Palmer, ny wife Is deadF
Palmer asked how il took place.
II don't know; woke up and found her dead in
bed this morning"
Palmer Immediately went 20 the rooms occupied
by McNamee. and the appearances caused him at
ce 10 leave information at the North police station
opposite, upon which McNamee was taken into Gus
toby.
The coroner was Immediately summoned, who
took charge OF the rooms.
The murdered woman had BY her husband two
Children little girl andsboy. The boy, four years
old, was called as witness, and gave testimony ~
follows
Previous 10 the swearing Of the last witness, the
little boy was brought In and tom his story. He Is
very intelligent little lad. and told his tale with
artessness and sincerity that carried conviction to
the hearts of every that heard IL. In the morn
ing he had been asked by the il his father
had whipped bis mother, and replied, "No., He az
forwards told Mrs. Cuom that che darent tell that
man, for he would tell his father" After he was
brought in, his attention was first drawn TO his play
things, until his timidty being overcome, he told in
his childish, lispng prat,le, how his father struck
his mother. and she fell down; how the blood ran and
she was VERY sick;" how he stamped upon her
after she lay upon the floor, at the same time
initiating with his tiny foot the notion; how
his mother lay in dark room and was so
bloody" how his father drew her forth by the hair
Of the head, and, suiting the action TO the word,
he gmsped both hands in the hair; how his mother
tried 10 get up, but could not, swinging his lit
tie body to initiate the mother; how he had no din :
ner in the daytime for his mother was asleep on the
bed but his father got hinso after dark; that his
father put him to bed that his mother was in the
bed at the time, all bloody by the nose; how she lay
on "the boards (the oor) with blood all around he;
hoy his father wiped up the blood with aishcoth
and put 1t In the pan; how he didn't see why she
didn't die before, FOR his father did IL very often.
And finally, when asked II his mother drunk, he
distinctly said "Nobbut fader was.v 10 was scene
long TO be remembered by ell who heard him. IN the
innocence Of his childish confidence tell his tale,
which not hearer could doubt-uot yet old enough
to realize his loss or the danger in which he was
placing his only remaining parent. ~,
After listening TO the testimony the jury VIII
very few moments consultation, returned verors
that the woman came TO her death from blows ln-
Hicted by her husband and he was accordlngy co"-
mitted TO stand his trial for the awful crime'
