wheat crop Of the current wear:
aAIr. Jas. Card, who Is supposed to
be great authority ON agricultural
questions, has lust published some inter-
esting calculations as to the wheat crop Z
of 1875. He shows that the fall in the
prices Of wheat list wear was fol-
lowed by reduction Of ss0, 900 acres
in the breadth Of wheat, or nearly one
tenth Of the total crop in the United
Kingdora, and that there has veuernllv8
in other countries been : dimin;aT,ed
area Of wheat. This year the haryeat
has been three weeks later than last
year in this country, and its introauctiou
to market a whole month later; and

Spring Elections.

The democrats carried Connecticut on
Monday by some 5000 majority and also
have both branches of the legislature
and three of the four members of Con-
gress.
On the other hand the election in
Michigan for supreme court judges
shows sweeping republican victory by
10000 majority, more than double the
republican majority at their last election.
The republican gains are very decided
over the vote of last fall.
OF the minor or municipal elections,
P. I, Barnum, the great Snowman, was
elected mayor of Bridgeport, Conn, on
Monday. He is a republican and there
was much rejoicing in that city over
his triumph. Cincinnati elects the dem
ocratic ticket as usual. Cleveland is
reported to have elected the democratic
ticket, but made large republican gains
over last year.
Columbus elected the democratic
ticket while in Toledo the republicans
were victorious by an average majority
Of 400. The western cities show repub-
lican gains, but many of these charter
elections are controlled by local interests
and have no significance as to national
affairs.

A ROMANCE AT BENNINGToN.-lra
w. Philbrick died at the Stark House,
Bennington, last January, and his re-
mains were taken to Concord, n. IL, by
a woman supposed to be his wife. On
Wednesday of last week a lady appeared
in Bennington and claimed to be the
rightful Mrs. Philbrick, and showed a
certificate from Boston physician to
that effect. She says Philbrick left her
seven years ago, and that she has not
since seen him until her eyes fell upon
his lifeless body, on its arrival in Con
cord. She claims that the only time
she ever saw "wife No. }" was on her
arrival with the remains there, when
she (wife No. y objected that two
wives " should bury him. Consequently
wife No. 2 disappeared, and has not been
seen by her since. The woman who
claims to be wife No. is at Bennington
to obtain the necessary physicians GER
tifcate of death, to complete proof o.
loss, and thereby secure the $4,000 in
surance upon her husbands life. The
agent through which the insurance wa
effected has written to DR.. Potter in be
half of the lady who claims to be wife
No. l, and he will promptly comply will
her wishes.

The POSTAGE SwINDLE.-It is worth
remembering just now, when everybody
is grumbling at the blunder by which
transient postage was doubled by Con
gress during the last night Of the session
that President Grant recommended III
his message year ago, that no appropri-
alton bills should be passed during the
last two days of session. Had his sug
gestion been needed, the postal blunder,
and quite likely other blunders, would
not have occurred.

conquering after hard struggle. The
owl was one of the very largest kind
and was probably driven to the contest

Protection OF Fish ana Game.

DR.. NJ. G Edmunds, State Fish Com
missioner, in answer to recent letter
from the American Sportsman, says
Touching the matter of the next Ma
tional Sportsman's Association, and the
effort Vermont will make to have it a
success, allow me to say that as state
we have an organization called the Yer
mont Association for the protection and
preservation of fish and game, 1t is a
chartered corporation, of whom, among
its corporators, | would name DIR. M,
Goldsmith as President. We shall co
operate with the National Association
and at our next meeting will appoint
delegates, etc. Our organization, per-
haps, is not yet complete, and am urg-
ing the corporators to meet to perfect
the organization and hopeto report, before
the close of April, the whole object com
pleted. Whether delegate or other
wise, / design to be present at the Ma
tional Association in June and to thus
encourage the enterprise of protecting
fish and game. j our efforts have done
great good, and l trust you will be I'M
ceasing until a revolution in public sen
timent is effected, and the nation acqui-
esces in good and wholesome regulations
touching the fish and game As it is
now, with slaughter unfortunately in
season and out of season, the day is close
at hand when game and fish will be
among the things that we're. The ques-
ton of food is vital one, and the more
we help to make it cheap, the more we
hep our fellow men and fulfill that
scriptural injunction, feed the hungry,
etc. Let us labor to this end, the con-
summation which is devoutly wished for
by all true sportsmen.

Congress, but he bravely writes the day

correct our errors, take our bearings

The New York Evening Post says
that Of the many people who admire Mr..
A. T. Stewards marble residence in New
York, few probably know the melan-
choly history of the structure. A man
named Thompson took the contract to
furnish the marble, and soon the war
broke out and his contract resulted in
his utter ruin financially. He became
insane and died, and his wife, who had
been accustomed to easy circumstances,
with carriage. servants and other such
luxuries, was left in entire poverty. She
has been employed as the scrub woman
in the county court house of New York
until the recent accession of Fitz Johr
Porter, when she was discharged. May
or Wiekham, however, has had her re
instated, and she is once more allowed
to make her living by washing floors.
