CHEERING PROSPECTS.

Times are improving and no mistake.
The tone of all the leading Western pa
pers is to the effect that business has re-
vived there and the worst of the hard
times are over in that section. Neither
Chicago nor ST. Louis has ever had a lar
ger trade, it is said, than in the past year
while the good crops of the farmers give
promise of as much trade next year. In
the Eastern States there is also a visible
improvement. Failures are by no means
as serious as they were a year ago.

grant traffic is consequently suspended
The fruit crop in Southern Indiana
is killed by the late freeze. The orchards in
the highlands do not escape.
The earnings of the Union Pacific

about 60 per cent. over the earnings IN the
same period last year.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph says
the Colorado potato-bugs have made their
appearance in a number Of gardens in and
around that city. and their ravages upon the
vegetation are already quite visible.
AS many as two thousand letters a
day are received at the agricultural bureau in
Washington from Kansas, Nebraska and
Southern Dakota, asking for supplies of seed.
The department is making heavy shipments
daily, the last session of congress having ap-
propriated for this purpose $50, 900, which
will, however, soon be exhausted by these
numerous demands.
a singular accident occurred at
Menomonee, Michigan, Thursday. A heavy
gale drove the ice in the lake upon the shore,
where it was piled to the height of thirty feet
OF more. Several small buildings we're
crushed, the inmates barely escaping with
their lives, and seme other damage was DONE
but fortunately there was but little valuable
property in that vicinity that could be in
jured.
The warm days have Matched and re-
vealed a myriad of grasshoppers in all the
counties OF the northwest. Considerable ap-
prehension is felt on account of the fact. The
hope of the farmers is, that they may take
wings, as is their habit, and leave the locality
Of their Matching. They appear more numer-
our than in past years when they incubated
here. Spring seems to have set in here in
earnest.

The last retreatiDg rays of light had
faded behind the parsons quaint resi-
dence and now that [ had nOught that
related to her to look upon, [ closed the
sash and retired for the night.
My sleep was a troubled one, and
every now and then l would awaken
with a start, and glare around me, eX-
pecting to be confronted by something
terrible-I knew not what. The storm
without ragged with unwonted fury, the
elements seeming 70 combine in an eff
fort TO shake the earth to its centre.
I was glad when the morning came,
bleak and dull though it was, and finally
fell into q heavy sleep.
How long had slept 1 do not know,
when I was awakened by a loud knock
ing at my door. I spraDg from my
couch, and was about to open it, when
the iron hinges suddenly gave way, and
a stream of men poured pell-melI into
my room. At their head was the sheriff
of the county. OF him I demanded
sternly the meaning of the intrusion !;
but his only reply was ''YOu are
my prisoner %
They manacIed me with heavy gives
and hurried me through the streets of
the tOwn-streets thrOnged with excited
people who denounced me as a muir
derer, and threatened to tear me to
pieces. When [ reached the jail was
informed that I had been arrested for
the murder of the parsons daughter,
who was found that morning in the
garden, contiguous to the parsonage, in
a most horrible condition, and stone
dead.
I will not go into the details of the
trial which followed, and upon the re-
suit of which my life depended. Let it
suffice to say that my &" alibl was fully
established, and that when investigation
developed suspicious concerning Row
land Powers, it was discovered that he
had fed.
He is fleeing yet, and ever will, until
he is summoned to appear before that
tribunal from whose judgment there is
no appeal.
