LETTER FROM MICHIGAN.
Worthwhile. Aug. 20. 1877

WORTHWHILE, Aug. 20, 1877.
Ed. Monitor: A bountiful harvest of
hay, wheat and oats has been secured
by the farmers of this State, in fine con-
dition, and the threshing machines are
busy in threshing portion of the crop
and the universal observation is. that
the wheat yields far beyond all expecta-
tions. The "Clawson," new variety,
is yielding as high as sixty bushels per
acre. A reliable farmer, living six miles
from here, informed me that he had if
ty.five bushels of Clawson wheat to the
acre from field of fourteen acres, or
seven hundred and seventy bushels from
the fourteen acres. In 1876, the total
yield of wheat in this State was &c.,
1894 bushels. 1t is estimated by
competent judges that the yield, this
year, is 33 per cent. above that of last
year. but if it is no more than % per
cent. greater, the crop now on hand may
be safely set down at q, 49l, 345 BUSH
els, or in round numbers, 2l,000,000.
The large crop of the State and the good
prices which this commands. will give
rise to better feeling in commercial
circles than has existed for some time.
and will contribute to that revival in
business so long expected and so slow
in making its appearance.
The severe drought of July and into
August injured corn and potatoes severe
ly in some localities, but we have had
copious rains within the past week, and
it will materially help many fields of
corn and potatoes, and put the fallows
in fine condition for blowing. The ap-
pie crop in this State is failure-being
scarcely sufficient for home consumption.
Other kinds of fruit in abundance.
AS we have goodly number who
proudly claim to be "Vermonters, but
were unable to be present at the centen-
NAL celebration of the battle of Benning-
ton, an impromptu banquet was gotten
up at Grand Rapids, on the evening of
the 18th. An grafton was delivered by
Ex-Congressman VIM. A. Howard. One
hundred and fifty persons were present.
From the MONITOR l learn of seri-
Gus accident to my venerable uncle, John
L. Woodman, Esq, but trust he is con-
valescent, and will be spared to his fam
lily and friends for a number of years.

Wade Hampton is very smooth
spoken man. but certain discrepancy
between his pledges and performances
has been observed, and justiies pretty
close comparison of his record with his
prospectus. He undertook to promise
in behalf the State of South Carolina
under democratic rule, that it would
take no backward step as to popular
education, especially that of the negroes
and these fine words have been enthusi-
astically applauded by Northern demo-
cratic papers. What are the facts ?
The South Carolina Legislature, at its
first session, has passed bill abolish
ing the: school tax as special tax, put
ting it into the general treasury to be
appropriated to any purpose, whereas
formerly it could only be appropriated
to the schools. Another bill forbidding
any school district to tax itself has been
enacted, which is very severe blow to
the school system. No money has been
appropriated for enumerating the school
children. which will prevent adequate
school appropriations. The Legislature
has also broken up the university at
Columbia and refused to pay the sal
aries of professors. 1t has refused to
support the colored normal school any
longer, and has repudiated arrearages of
pay due teachers. In order to keep the
schools under democratic influence the
Legislature omitted to call meeting of
the board of education, which leaves tho
democratic school commissioner in en-
tire control of the state system. In or
der to provide pretext for cjecting
Northern teachers, a bill forbidding
partisan teaching has been passed.
Wade Hampton has signed these bills
without protest. That, remember, is
the work of one short session of the
Acknowledgment Union.

THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT.

The visit of President Hayes and
part of his Cabinet to Vermont and New
Hampshire is welcome to the people,
and it will doubtless serve to augment
and create fresh interest in the doings
Of the administration. Probably not
less than fifteen thousand of the people
Of Vermont and as many moro Of New
Hampshire have taken the hand of the
President and heard his voice; and
many more may have seen his face, and
caught glimpses of the distinguished
men Of his Cabinet who accompany him
in his present tour in New England. Of
these thirty thousand people who have
seen him and his official advisers, not
one can fail to be impressed with a
sense Of the honesty, candor, good will
and ability Of the men on whom they
have looked and who are now charged
with the administration of National af-
fairs. Whatever may have been their
party affiliations or personal feelings
and preferences they will not fail of
being better informed and more favora-
bly, disposed toward them, even though
they differ from them, even in political
opinions. The sharpness of campaign
partizansh!p will give place to kindly
wishes, and the bitterness of disappoint-
ed expectation will vanish before the In
coming light of patriotic good will
Questions Of the painful past and the
doubtful present will fade away before
the amenities Of the hour and the yawn.
ing chasms that were supposed to exist
will be found to be practical fction'
rather than solid fact. In short, thi:
tour Of the President and his suite
among the Green Mountains and Gran.
lite Hills may reasonably be expected t.
result in good, as we'll to the people and
country as to the distinguished men OF
whom rests the responsibility of the adj
ministration of the government.

The statistics of exports Of meat and
live stock from the United States to
Europe continue to be encouraging, as
also do those of the exports Of butter
and cheese. Since the LIST Of January
we have sent to English ports 69,445,
400 pounds of fresh beef, against 49,
990,s95 pounds during the same time a
year ago. OF this amount 54,745, $50
pounds went from New York, l3,403,-
Clio from Philadelphia, and an incon-
siderable quantity from Portland and
94l,5S9. against only Sl,755,19l last
year. The shipments Of mutton are not
large, but are gain. The value of all
tho exports this year is ee,le5,o3
against 81, 755,l9l last year. There is
every reason to suppose that, with pru.
dent management and the same care
that has 50 far been shown in keeping
up the quality and good condition Of
the meat, this branch of trade will soon
become Of prime Importance. The stat
istics of butter and cheese exports from
the 1st of May show 6,031,353 pounds
of butter this years to l,S46,l49 last
year, and 52,667,743 pounds of cheese
to 43,342,l79 last year. The prices dc
not vary materially. The new year has
now just opened for this line of business
and the prospect of very large yield il
hatterinp.

SECRETARY KEY.

Secretary Key of the Presidents Cab
met is q Southerner, and was a rebel
general in the rebellion. The President,
desiring to show a friendly spirit toward
the South, selected Mr.. Key as one of
his personal advisers, and the head of
an important department This Secre-
tary was of the presidential party who
visited Vermont; his speeches were short,
but they manifested very friendly
spirit 1t is said that he was pleasantly
surprised at the remarkably friendly
greeting that he has universally received,
as we'll as at the universal signs of thrift,
enterprise and comfort that he witnessed
wherever he went. At one place where
the village and rural population turned
out to see the President and party, Mr..
Key asked one near him, "Where are
the poor 2" He was informed that none
were so poor as to be so poorly clad as
not to be able to be present on an occas-
ion like the present. Mr.. Key must
carry away with him very favorable
impression in regard to the fraternal
feeling existing here, and the prosperity
and beauty of New England. When
there shall be more mingliDg together Of
the people of the different parts of this
great nation, there will be more respect
and harmony of feeling. The visit Of
Mr.. Key to New England must be pro-
ductive of good.

MURDER AT FALL RIvER.-On Sun
day last, Thomas Fitzgerald, shoe
maker of Fall River, quarreled with his
wife and stabbed her in the breast with
o shoemaker's knife so that she died an
hour and half later. Fitzgerald is an
Incorporate man, who has spent most
of his money for drink, and his wife has
supported herself and child by working
as weaver in mill. Fitzgerald re-
turned home slightly intoxicated, and or
dered his wife to get him something to
eat, when she told him to get his vict-
uals where he got his liquor. This an
swer Infatuated him, and Selling knife
from his workbench he rushed at his
wife, saying. "I'll stop you from any
more prating to me" and stabbed her
in the breast. She fell upon the floor
and was afterwards carried by neighbors
into an adjoining tenement, where ply
stefan attended her, but without avail,
and she died as above stated. The wom-
on's father was a witness to the tragedy.

LETTER FROM NEW YORR.
Special Correspondence


NEW YORK, August 20, 1877.
An almost continued flow of water
has checked, to some extent. the recent
flow of events, so much so that we have
but one frst-class local sensation to offer
this week, and that, too, is intimately
connected with MIR. Jay Gould whose
involuntary acrobatic performance over
Wall street railing. described a
couple of weeks since. 1t is we'll known
that since the Atlantic and Pacific Tele-
graph Company passed under the con-
troll of Gould, it has been fighting that
great monopolist, the Western Union,
tooth and nail, forcing prices of tele-
graphing at last to an almost nominal
figure. All this was fun for the public,
and multitudes were inclined to raise
their opinion of Mr., Gould, for such a
disinterested and public spirited course.
But alas for credulous humanity 1t
now turns out that the only interests
the smart little man had in view were
those of J. g., Esq. His object was
two-fold. first to lower the price of
Western Union stock so that he could
buy it cheap, and secondly, to compel
the latter company to buy him out in
self-defence. The former object having
been attained, Gould this week brought
about conference between the nomi-
nal heads of the two companies for the
object of amalgamating the two. 1t is
openly avowed that when this is done
prices are to be put back at the old ex-
tortionate prices, when Mr.. Gould with
a bland smile will rake in his dividends
regardless as usual of public execration.
For some reason or other however, this
first conference failed to do its masters
bidding, but broke up in a row. That
however is of no consequence. It is
only question of time, when Mr.
Gould's ends are achieved.
The diligent readers of the. Radiz
column may perhaps remember my ref
erence some weeks ago to "the soda wa

since elapsed, the Importance of various

One charming morning during our
stay In Quebec we made the excursion
to Montmorenci Falls, seven miles from
town. From Durham Terrace we had
already seen line of cottages leading
in zig-zag direction across the plain
and were told it was the way to the
Falls. This one long street of seven
miles is called the village of Beanport.
The houses which are built closely to-
gether are set at an angle to the street,
for better protection from the severe
winter winds. The most exposed end
never has more than one window in it,
and often none at all. The French win
dows are generally lined with gay color
ed paper. that is the inner ones, for
double ones are necessary for comfort in
winter. The day we drove through the
outer windows were thrown up and the
seats were filled, many of them, with
healthful blooming plants. Carnations
in particular seemed to be fowring in
profusion and / never saw such fine ones
anywhere else. 1t was Saturday and all
Beanport was putting itself in order for
Sunday. Everywhere girls in short
skirts were scrubbing floor, front steps
and even the walks which led down the
tiny yards. Through the open doors we
had many glimpses of Canadian interiors,
and we soon learned by observation that
the huge three or four storied stove is a
fixture in each household for summer as
we'll as winter. Sometimes it is set in
the middle of the house, and the parti-
ton walls are built up to it, so part Of
it is in each of the four rooms into
which the cottage is divided. Besides
the stove there were queer old wooden
chairs and dressers with stores Of
family "caramics," a wooden cradle
which looked as if it might be an
heirloom. Our party consisted of FIVE
and we were somewhat dismayed wher
our "carter" appeared with his three
seated carriage and only one horse, but
we were assured that tom" was capable
of taking US all with perfect ease
Tom" more than kept up the reputation
his master had given him, and we bowlec
along over the smooth road at COCO
pace. About a quarter of mile from
the fall we left the carriage and walked
over well-kept foot path to the brinl
of the cascade, which is one of the mos
beautiful have ever seen. 1t is small
but very high, although it is impossible
to realize this until one goes down tn
fight of steps, and looks up from beneath
We stayed sometime gazing on its beauty
but felt unsatisfed when at last we wer
obliged to 60 and leave the facination o
falling water. Some little distance from
here are some natural steps, severa
hundred, which are about as wonderful
as the waterfall. On our way back t
town we passed through the suburbs O
St. Rock, which is much more moder
than anything in Quebec. 1t has jus
been rebuilt, as it was entirely burne
two years ago, with the exception of tn
Church and Covenent of the Good SheI

When the street railroads of thecoun-

and they straightway had printed and
posted in each one of their vehicles that
talismanic sentence, "Punch in the

confidence that they now had the dead

cent scale. And for years it has noyed
great protection to their revenues,
greatly to the disgust of the conducting
fraternity, whose effort to 'Tsise heir

ly frustrated by the musical little watch
dog. A genius has just been found
however who has been around among
the conductors whom for the small sum
of five dollars each he has offered to in.

No better compliments could possibly
have been paid President Hayes and his
Cabinet officers present, than were paid
by Hon. Z. A. Phelps, presiding officer,
at Bennington; and yet the Bourbons
who run the Argus find great fault with
Mr.. Phelps for what he said in his
graceful remarks in regard to these dis
tiuguished persons. Mr.. Phelps is a
gentleman and brilliant lawyer, and
he knows that it becomes every respect.
able citizen of the United States to pay
suitable respect to the Chief Magistrate
of the nation and his advisers. If the
argus was as willing to accept the stu
alton as Mr.. Phelps and other intelligent
democrats are, it might appear less
ridiculous.
