Folded hands and baby feet at rest
The rosy tide that warmed them chilled in
DEATH
Our hearts cry out against this sad repose,
AID hate the cold and cruel guest
Who Stayed our darling with his icy breath,
Just as the chilling winds destroy the rose.
How swiftly the Summers come and Winters
fly;
The short year hurries by to seek the past
And needs not mirthfnl laugh or moaning cry;
Yet time dispcls the gloom which death
hath cast,
Forbids our tears. assuages grief at last.
For though sweet babe, the void will still be
Our hearts will some day loose this dull
despair;
Since HEAVIER hath called thee from world of
care
To realms where sin thy soul can ne'er
And future years shall teach our hearts the
prayer
OF those whose souls are seeking entrance
there.
Alas we Oft have buried love before,
Ambition too we've carried to the tomb,
From teaching aspirations how to soar;
We've seen how folly chased them to their
doom, &
And powerless we, to lift them from their
gloom.
But we've laid thy form within the grave,
And happy angels whisper .'be Of che r.
Nor hopeless mourn since thou thy treasure

rows b feet apart, and in hills about
IA inches apart, using generally
one-half of medium sized tubcr in
place. The hills had each a good
shovelful of well-rotted manure and
n handful of unleached ashes stirred
in with the soil. The potatoes were
all ripe when dug. Three hills of

Owing to the lateness of this

dental expenses of the trip; but as

cannot thank the people whose

To make the matter plain, we
will state that oil the morning of

among the number, were arrested
on charge of conspiracy" NOV
ing county safe, beating, &C., sew

arraigned and after considerable
"motioning," collecting" &C., a
witness for the prosecution was
allied. At the conclusion of his
testimony, five of the defendants
waived further examination, and
gave bond in the sum of $500 each
for their appearance at Circuit

tilted. The only evidence in re-
gard to the Editor of the STAR was
that he was seen by one witncss,

amined with us, and both were dis

The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1875-05-27

AT the present writing Tuesday,
the people are still awaiting Judge
Wheeler's decision on the question
Of dissolving the injunction. We
have greatly regretted the action
Of dissatisfied few, who are un-
willing to submit to the decision of
a majority Of the citizens of Lake
county, but who must needs create
the discord which now exists. We
also, regret the prolongation of the
unsettled state of affairs. 1t seems
to us a question requiring prompt
adjustment. 1t is difficult for us to
understand how business may be
transacted at Baldwin, as the Coun-
ty Seat, and at Chase, also. Does
it not leave a chance for litigations
in the future, over the question Of
irregularity Of proceedings?
The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1875-05-27
That Resolution.

One of the main complaints used
in procuring the injunction, was,
we understand, that no legal resolu-
ton had been adopted by the Board
of Supervisors, directing the sub
hitting to vote of the people the
question of removing the County
Seat to Baldwin. If the proceed
ings were illegal, where were our
Prosecuting Attorney and Judge of
Probate? Why did they not put in
their protest then? 1t is the spe-
cial duty Of the first named to see
that no legal flaws exist in business
transactions of the county. If the
Judge of Probate has so much re-
gard for the proper transaction of
business, why did he not suggest
that to proceed with an election
would only be creating expense to
the taxpayers, for nothing? We
have heard that which leads us to
believe that the question of illegal
ity of the resolution was understood
by and in the minds of the malcon-
tents previous to the election. If
so, the thing has bad look, view
ing it in whatever light you please.
1t shows rank incapacity on the part
of certain officials to guard and pro-
mote the interests of the people, or
a deliberate intention to trifle and
cause useless expense. No wonder
the people grow exasperated, and
take the law into their own hands,
when they witness such manage
ment on the part of those they have
entrusted with the conduct of their
affairs. So far as facts have de-
velopcd, they tend to show that the
whole movement on the part of the
Chase faction had very little if any
true ground to rest upon. 1t now
looks like a piece of meanness and
wrong-doing which has been and
ever will be unequalled in Lake
county.
In the meantime, costs to the
people and chances for litigation
are multiplying. The people are
paying lawyer salary as Prose-
cutting Attorney, and then, on top
of that, paying fees to outside at
torneys for legal counsel, &c. How
long the taxpayers will submit to
this order of things remains to be
seen. If the instigators of the trou-
bic had shown half the disposition
to promote the interests of the pco-
pie that they do to carry out their
whims and selfish ideas, affairs in
Lake county to-day would be in
different state.

CRoss-BREEDING APPLES.
This is done by transferring the
pollen of one variety to the pistils
of another variety. To insure a
cross, the flower to be fertilized must
first have its stamens removed while
young and the pistil tied up in a
little, tight sack. The object Of
crossing is to get improved varic-
ties from the seeds planted. We dc
not know what VIC shall get in any
case, but it seems well established
in most cases that the results will
be more likely favorable by crossing
two good varieties than by moi
crossing at all.
Both crosses between Talmar
Sweet and the Wagner seemed tc
show the effect Of the cross in the
color and flavor of the fruit this
year. The flavor was decidedly
