The wheat harvest Is near at hand,
many farmers as well as the business
public are specializing as to the probable
price it will bring, when the new crop
IS fairly in the market. The price will
be affected by several important facts
among which are the foreign demand.
the condition Of our national finances.
and the condition and amount of grain
finally saved the coming harvest. There
is beyond doubt large breadth of land
sown to wheat, and if the crop is not
shortened by drouth orthemise we will
have as large yield as we have enjoy
ed Tor many years past. Greater care
than usual was taken by the farmers
last fall in selecting their seed. particu-
lar attention beng given to the kind
and quality of seed sown. This should
never be neglected il large yields per
acre aud good wheat are expected.
There is one subject. however, that has
been sadly neglected, if not ignored, by
a majority of our farmers, which invari-
ably results in loss to them. | refer
to cleaning their wheat before taking il
to the market fer sale, or to the mill for
home use. In all the large grain mar
kets Of this country, rs well as in Eu-
rope, wheat sells by its grade, in other
words its merits. If sound and clean.
grading No one thereby bringing the
highest price, if sound bat dirty, grad
inc No. two or No. three according to
the amount Of dirt in it, and bringing a
corresponding dedication III price. In
all our surrounding counties great pride
is being taken by the farmers. in seeing
who can bring the best and cleanest
grain to make, and obtain the first grade
az well as highest price. No farmer
enjoys being told by the inspector that
his wheat is No. two or No. three and
his neighbors No. one, and that he must
take lower price. Then LET eceyy
Turner clean. his ,cheat If he has not
the facilities at hand, they are easily CD
ttained, on the most favorable terms
and are within the reach of every one.

VIC correctly adjudge to him the dis
tinguished honor Of the authorship of
the dirtest and most disreputable art
icles it has Been our fortune to peruse
i'll many day.
The reverend gentlemsn is evidently
wrought up because we have stated
facts proving him to he dishonest, bad
man ard hypocrite and he retaliatcs with
a lot Of slang that would do credit to
the vilcSt fisher woman cf Dillingsgate.
He says We borrowed money to buy
clothes with didn't pay him a sufficient
fee for performing our marriage cere-
mony, and that we lie. With reference
to these grave charges we would SIM
ply say: our ere lit is very fair and we
have frequently borrowed money, but
do not remember that we ever borrowed
any to buy clothes with. We are I'M
der the impre sion that we paid him
quite liberal fee for his services and
if he is not satisfied we will give him
credit on account for any further reason
able sum he may deem his due; but
the lie part we deny, point blank. lie
says we lie because we charge him with
writing certain articles which appeared
in the Republican as editorials. We
did make the charge, but We did not
lie. 1t is true he denied the authorship
of the articles, in positive terms, but
we have five or six pages of his manu-
script in our possession, containing the
very articles referred to, in his OWN
hand writing, all d written just as the
articles were published, and We will
give him one hundred dollars if he vii
deny the writing under oath.
In fact, we never designed to lie about
Mr.. Lusk, at all, or ever misreprcsent
him. We stated that lie had failed to
pay his washer-women on a couple of
occasions, that he sometimes drank
rather more than was good for clergy
man. that he was not veracious, that he
had rather peculiar way of registering
his name at New York. and intimatcd
that he was rather an ungrateful beggar
in general, but these facts covered SO
few of his delinquenc;es and short-com-
ings that We did not think he would get
mad about it and call us loafer, liar &c.
We thought we had dealt rather
mildly with Mr.. Lusk, and did so be,
cause he was clergyman, and we have
great respect for the cloth. We never
heretofore stated that he had slandered
and insulted some of the best ladies of
our town connected with the Presby-
terrain church-after his semi-eXpulsion
from that pulpit in this place, nor did we
refer to the fact that letters intrusted to
his care had been, by him, feloniously
opened, read and destroyed We regret
the necessity Cor making these remarks
now, bat as we are responsible party
ard make them under our own name.
and are subject to the consequences il
we are mistaken, and never approved of
false charges OR insinuations, We think
no great harm eau come of little plain
speech. And anyhow We feel little

Personal.

The Republican of last week con-
tains several rather remarkable articles,
of personal nature, evidently written
by one WV. LUsK, Jr., at present
officiating pastor of Trinity Church, at
Nilee, Michigan, which we are con-
strained to refer to, for the purpose of
placing the reverend gentleman before
the public in his true light.
We say the articles are crideatiy
written by him. from the fact that we
know he has heretofore written a
number of articles Of tie same Char
acter (the manuscript Of which we
have in our possession, and because We

As the time approaches for the hold
ing Of the Democratic county eonven-
ton, every Democrat should see to it
that no effort is spare | to insure such an
attendance of good, reliable men as will
truly reflect the sentiments of the party,
thus producing an unanimous endorse
ment of the action of the convention.
Especially should the township conycn-
lions be fully attended by the Democrats
of the several townships, 10 insure the
selection of good men as delegates to
the county convention. There being a

some particular friend, intending to bolt

70 control those conventions. Conven-
tons SO controlled have depressing eff
feet upon men who regard the princi-
pies and welfare of the party as para
mount to their Own personal preferences
OF prejudices.
There IS another roint on which we
wish 10 caution our Democratic friends
and that IS that too rauch care can not
be exercised IN guarding against the
use Of personalities in the preliminary
canvass which IS now going on. Each

them not to say or do anything against
their opponents that would injure them

means We may insure fair start for
our candidates az soon as nominated,
and our prominent Democrats will have
no harsh words to take back. or bitter
feelings to smother. If this plan is car

before the close Of the campaign. Let
