A CoNTRACr?-A very interesting case
was tried in the Supreme Court in New
York city few days ago. in which one
of the principal questions raised was as
to the ef,ct Of omi,ting to put an inter
nal revenue stamp on a written contract.
The contract was for 200. 900 pounds
OF brass. and cons sted Of letter IN aking
tha offer for il. Anfs stelcgram accepting
the offer. There were no stamps on either.
Mr.. William Evar,s. who appeared
for the defence. objected to the in,roduc
tion Of the letter and telegram constitu
ting the contract. on the ground that. be-
ing unstamped. the contract. under the
internal revenue law, was void.
xJndge' Fullerton. counsel for The
plaintiffs. produced authorities to estab.
lish that the omission to pnt stamps on
a contract would not render it void, un-
less it was made with the intention to de-
fraud the government. lie then placed
the agent Of the plaintiffs. who sent the
Telegram. on the stand. and he swore
that thcre.was no Intention to delraud the
government in omit,iug the stamp.
Mr.. Fuller next placed a stamp on the
letter. and another on the telegram. and
cancelled them; and Judge Brady. before
whom the trail took place. then admit
ted them as evidence.
The. jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiffs for the full amount claimed.

While some lew peices were very COOL.

were ITO acres in rye. which yirid'-i L.
74l bushels; there we're 6.SS5 acres in
corn. which yielded 276 66O la>hels.
which makes On sversge Of 40 l 2 bash

count that quite large smouut OF the
corn planted on sod. it rs certsip'y large
yield. There were 476 9 acres in bar
ley. which yielded 8 6S3 bushels. This
crop suffered greatly from grasshoppers.
as they are very fond Of 1t. and eat it in
preference to any other grain. There
were l .l76 acres in oats. yielding A 057
bushels. nearly 40 per acre. which yield
would have been mnch larger had the
oats not have fallen down. and conse-
quentIv could not all be saved. There
were 200 9 ncres of potatoes. which
brought 35.T2 bushels. II ths crop
conld have all been saved. the yield would
have BEEN over 200 bushels to the scre.
There were 4 acres planted in sorghum.
from which 1000 gallons Of molssses
were manufactured. There were also
raised 33 Ia tons Of broom cron. In
way of reduction of the soil to state oi
cultivation, 5. l07 acres were broken las,
