Chicago, April "a. In Missouri, wheat and
corn are badly eaten by grasshoppers, and fears
are entertained that in large breadth planted,
much will be destroyed. Fruit is unusually
good.
In Wisconsin, winter wheat is slightly injured,
spring wheat just planting and fruit not injured.
In Indiana. wheat has been injured by the cold
weather Rye and barley will also be short crops.
Oats will not be half crop and fruit is a total
failure.
Corn planting is delayed on account of frost. In
Kansas the season has been favorable Large
quantities of wheat and oats sown are in fine con-
diton.
In Michigan, the season is backward. Wheat
has been bvdly injured by the frost and in many
localities the farmers are turning it out. Oats and
corn, as well as most Of the small fruits, are
killed.
In Nebraska, the prospects for all grains and
fruits are fattering.
In Minnesota, the season is backward. The
average breadth of spring wheat is sown. Win
ter wheat is unnjured and small fruits promise
well.
In iowa, little more than the average amount
of spring wheat is sown, and will yield well. But
little winter wheat is sown and that is uninjuied.
Oats and barley arc badly injured. Fruits will be
an average crop.
In Illinois, the prospects for winter wheat are
very discouraging. Where large areas are usual
ly sown there will not be over half crop. Many
wheat fields are being plowed for corn. Spring
wheat and oats are damaged also rye and barley,
and fruits are generally destroyed.

Judge ARENAS Libbey Biographical

Judge Artemas Libbey - Biographical
Notes.
On Saturday last, Hon. Artemas Libbey, the
newly appointed Judge on the Supreme Bench,
received his commission and was qualified before
two of the Executive Councillors (Messrs. Perkins
and Wlliamson) as by law provided. His term of
office began at once, and he will enter Immediately
upon active service. He is to preside at the term
of court beginning at Wiscasset to morrow Tues
day.
ARENAS Libbey was born at Freedom in Waldo
county, the 9Th of January, 1923, and is there
fore ffty-tw years Of age. His father, Joseph
Libbey, removed to Albion, while the son was but
an infant. Here he was educated in the common
schools and by means Of private instruction. APP
plying himself assiduously to his books. Samuel
$. Warren, practising lawyer in Albion, and an
uncle Of Henry w. Paine, forming an attachment
for young Libbey, took him into his office when at
the age of sixteen years, giving him that careful
and palnstaking instruction in law and other
branches Of general information that laid the
foundation of his future success He was with
Mr.. Warren four years, teaching school during
the winter months, until he reached his majority
He was admitted to the Kennebec bar in 1874,
and opened law Office in Albion continued to
practice there until 1858, when he removed 10 Au-
gusta, where he has since resided, and where he
has been actively engaged in the practice of his
profession. He has been for the most of the time
alone, but during this period has had three law
partners, T. D. Snow, w. S. Choate, and D. c.
Robinson. His life has been a busy one as he has
assiduously devoted himself to law scarcely being
turned aside by any other subject. The Reports
of the State attest to his knowledge of law, by
the numerous rulings in his favor. His practice
in the Federal and State courts is probably as cx-
tensive and remunerative as that of any member
of the bar at the present time. Mr.. Libbey was
member Of Gov. Wells Council, and was mem
Der of the late Constitutional Commission. In
politics he has always been a democrats but has
taken active part in political matters since 1864.

Mr.. Nicholas Orf, Dutch gentleman from the
fine old Dutch town of Waldohoro', came to this
city on business last week, and fingered here for
several days; indeed, he fingered here several
days too long for his own good; for falling into
bad company and calling into places that he ought
to have avoided and passed by, he came to grief,
and found that it is of no earthly use to cry for
split milk or mourn for money that has taken its
everlasting flight. On Friday he had fifty dollars
in money about his person; on Saturday, when he
started for his ancient borough he was completely
cleaned out Of money, wallet, keys, etc. He says
he got the worst for liquor, and fell in with some
body who robbed him. A fellow who has a bad
reputation in this community, who was seen with
Mr.. Ortf on Friday morning, has not since been
seen; and it is suspected that he knows something
about the transaction.
