ABSTRACT FROM THE NATIONAL
CROP REPORTER.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.-The fol
lowing is synopsis of the lead
ing information furnished yester
day by the National Crop Re
porter: The usual backwardness
of the season has delayed very
much all kinds of spring work
and at the date of the last full
reports,prepared April 18th, there
had been practically no seeding
at all in the State of Minnesota,
and but little plowing in Wiscon.
sin. At the date mentioned about
forty per cent. of the estimated
area has been sown in wheat,a
but little more than one fourth OF
the oats.
The average area sown in
wheat in the States of Illinois,
Iowa, ,Missouri,a Wisconsin was
eighty-seven per cent. of the es-
timated probable total, sixty-two
per cent. of the oats, and of pota-
Toes thirty per cent.
The prospects of the fruit crop
to date are of the most encourag-
ing character, and the reported
damage by frost,excepting IN por
lions of Delaware and Maryland
is considerable.
The condition of the roads at
the date of the reports was, south
of the forty-first parallel,u uniform
ly bad, owing to the prevalence of
wet weather, while north of that
line The ground was generally
frozen, and The roads in fine con-
diton.
The price ofleading articles the
first half of April in the States
of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio,
and Wisconsin show a slight ad-
vance III corn, oats and hay, and
a decline on swine and potatoes,

DIED..

April 10th, of Pulmonary Consumption, Miss
Allie v. McClelland, aged 20 years, months
and 10 days.
The deceased has been consistent and faith
full member of HopeweI Church for four years.
During her lingering illness no complaint or
murmur ever escaped her lips; but often, when
suffering intensely, some one would speak of
her sufferings, she would reply, 'sMy Savior
suffered far more than this for me and ought
to bear it patiently" Her dying message to
her young schoolmates is, 81 am going to Hea-
ven, and 1 want to meet you all there" By
trusting in the same Savior in whom she
trusted these dear young friends of hers may
all meet her in heaven. What ajoyous home-
gathering that will be.
"a home in heaven! as the sufferer lies
On his bed Of pain. and uplifts his eyes
To that bright home; what joy is given,
With the blessed thought Of his home in
heaven.
"a home in heaven! when our friends are fed
To the cherries gloom of the mouldering dead
We wait in hope on the promise given,
We will meet up there in our house in heaven.
aOur home in heaven! oh, the glorious home
And the Spirit, Joined with the Bride, says
come ...i .sf
Come, seek His face, and your sins forgiven,
And rejoice in hope Of your house in heaven. ;"
E.B.C.
On the 23d of April, 1874. at his residence in
Millersburg. Of Consumption, Sylvanns Clark,
aged ~ years and months.
The deceased was born in New Brighton,
Pa, December l4th, 1882. He was among the
first to respond to the call for tIoops when our
country was in danger; enlisting in the spring
Of 1861 in the 10th Regiment Ohio Volunteers
for three months. In the fall of the same year
he re enlisted in the 9TH Ohio Battery, in which
he served three years. participating in the
Landing he had command of the Battery when
it was captured and recsptuIed five times :.
His last hours was peace. He exclaimed as
his feet were nearing the cold river of death:
Il have strong hope of Eternal Life abiding
in me-" Last summer. while working at his
trade, he fell from the top of a building, and
received injuries from which he never fully re-
covered. His remains were inferred in the
Wooster cemetery.
At her late residence in Millersburg, o..
April 5th, 1874, Mrs. Nancy Ann Moore, aged
81 years and 2s days.
The deceased had been resident of Holmes
County for Sc years, nearly q years being pas
sed in lonely widowhood. She was the mother
Of two sons and three daughters son and

firm conviction Of the truth of the Bible and q
clear conception ofthe plan Of salvation, and
the blood of Jesus. OBJ.

RESPONSE.

There was little indication of
the temper of the House in the
shy it took at the currency ques-
ton on Saturday. Before the
members get up too much excite
ment it will be advisable to hear
the response of the country to
the message. 1t is coming in
with a unanimity and heartiness
of approval that certainly surpris-
es US, and we suppose is surpris-
ing others. There is good dea'
more honesty and good deal
more knowledge abroad than
some of our infiationist Congress
men have supposed.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1874-05-07
AN ANSWER.

President Grant gives plthy
answer to the infiationsts. They
point to the fact that in his mes
sage to Congress last December,
he declared his willingness to
approve any measure on the
finances that might be passed by
that body. The President replies
that he intended no such con-
struction TO be put upon what he
therein stated; but adds that il
thee was any ambiguity about the
document in question, his more
recent message 'would clear il
up We should think so.

pRoveNpeR GETTING SCARCE.

Many of the farmers are get
ting consi derably discouraged
about the long continuance OF
cold weather. Hay and straw
are getting quite scarce with
many of them, and they begin to
entertain fears that the oats and
potatoes that they put in the
ground in the early part of the
month may not grow. The pros
poets for fruit are not by any
means as good as in the early
part of the month. But we
guess all things will come out
right at last.

DOG TAX.

The dog tax in Virginia is levied
by certain counties under special
laws. Forty five counties return
$41, 900 during 1873 as the receipts
from this tax, which goes to the
support of schools. In one county
the tax brought in nearly two thou
sand dollars. but upward of one
thousand dollars of this amount had
to be paid out for damages to far
mers whose sheep had been killed by
dogs. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire State would produce about 800
600 from this source of revenue, and
the enactment of a genral law impos-
ing the tax is urged, partly for the
purpose of obtaining this revenue
and partly to induce the killing of
the vagabond dogs by whom most
of the sheep are killed.

Senator Cameron gives glowing
account of the Menonites, who are
desirous of coming hither from Rus
sia. The old man waxed more near
ly eloquent through that speech of
his on the subject given in last issue,
than on any previous theme he has
for a long period touched. Appar-
emily the Menonites are thrifty
and Industrious people, and at a
time when emigration is so general
ly encouraged, it could do no great
harm to make the way easy for them
by enacting the bill pending in Con-
gress.

THOUGHTFUL ENGINEER.

A mans leg,which had been neat
ly amputated by q locomotive at
Newark, N. j., on Monday, was car
ried by the engine to Bristol, Pa,
(about one hundred miles), and
when the engineer discovered the
limb on the COW catcher he kindly
inquired by telegraph all along the
line whether anybody had missed
a leg. Newark answered eyes, "and
the leg was promptly returned. 1t
too late however, to be of any SER
vice, for the former owner was dead.
But then it was an exhibition OF
touching tenderness on the part of
the engineer who took it off.

Affairs In Arkansas grow daily more
complicated. 1t has one government
too many. The consequence is it is not
governed at all. The Supreme Court

would undoubtedly have decided in ia
