The Detroit Free Press OF August 9th, has
lengthy report of Michigan crops, from which
we take the following =
ALLEGAN COUNTY.
Wayland- Judging from the threshing that
has been done the average yield OF wheat per
acre in this section OF the county is about
twenty bushels. The acreage IS net as great
as last year, and the grade, color, soundness,
ETC., is not as good but tho average yield per
acre is greater. Corn, oats and potatoes are
in good condition. The probable yield per acre
Of corn will be about forty bushels, OF oats,
thirty bushels. Oats and corn are in better
condition than last year and the acreage is
greater.
BEERIEN COUNTY.
st. Joseph-The average yield OF wheat per
acre in this section is twenty bushels. The
acreage s at least twenty-five per cent. above
last year. AS to quality, it is far superior in
all respects and has been well secured, COM
pared with last year. The average yield is
twenty-five per cent greater. The acreage of
corn, oats and potatoes is much larger than
last year. Oats and potatoes are superior ana
corn about the same as last year. The apple
crop will be light; pears very heavy. Grapes
have escaped the danger Of mildew and the
large yield is expected. The blackberry crop is
very large This section is largely devoted to
fruit.
cAss COUNTY.
Adamsvllle-The crop prospects throughout
this county are splendid; we have never known
better yield Of wheat. i think | am safe in
placing the average yield per acre at eighteen
bushels In comparison with last year it will
exceed the yield by four bushels per acre at
least. The grade is fully as good il not better
than last year. Corn is in fine condition Oats
will yield well. Potatoes fair. | cannot give
you an estimate OF the yield now, and to con-
clude: The year has been very prosperous
one so far.
Cassopolis-1he wheat crop IN Cass county
is immense. The average per acre viii be at
least twenty bushels. One farmer on Youn8's
Praine thrashed $500 bushels from eighty-fve
acres. This years crop is one-ffth larger, in
acres, than last year. better quality was
never grown in the county. Corn, oats and
potatoes ale in fine con ndltlon, and large crop
is assured. AS to acres and yield, the proper
tions are almost equal to the wheat crop. The
farmers are jubilant.
Dowagiac-Farmers are feeling jabilant over
their large yield Of wheat and the prospects OF
other crops in this locality, which never were
better than they are now. Wheat is now being
thIashed and the average will not be less than
twenty bushels per acre. The acreage is about
the same as last year. The quality is excellent,
very plump and sound The average yield per
acre is nearly II not quite one-third more tnan
last year. Oats are cut but not thrashed yet.
They promise an immense yield and the acre
age is little mole than last year. The pres
ent prospect for corn and potatoes Is excellent,
and should no unforeseen evil befall them the
yield will be unusually large. Farmers in this
vicinity never had better prospects for crops
of all kinds than now.

A SHOWER OF FIRE.-Maior Will
liams, OF West Kansas, who keeps the
Railroad House, gave Journal report
er the following interesting account o.
a phenomenon that occurred at the
commencement of the storm on We'd
nesday morning, about l O'Clock: l re-
tired about 10 O'Clock on Tuesday
night i had been in bed asleep
about two hours and half when l was
awakened by an outer door slamming
violently, as if burst open by something
heavy thrown against it. | hurried to
close it when, on looking out, L saw a
sight which l can never forget, and
which was so strange that never could
have believed the like if l hadn't seen
it.
The air all about the house seemed TO
be perfectly tull of balls of fire raining
down from the clouds, the brightness OF
which even the vivid flashes OF lightning
could not hide. l called my wife TO
witness the wild and terrible scene, and
we viewed the phenomenon for almost
five minutes. One ball of fire fell about
twenty PAGES distant and about the size
OF a pigeons egg, which was visible
quite q while. | marked the place
where it fell as nearly as possible from
where l stood, but on account OF the
wind, which blew almost with the force
of hurricane and the rain which hat
begun to fall, did not venture outside
This morning, however, about O'Clock
| 1 went out and looked around carefully
for a long time for what might be lett
but could find nothing.--Kdnsas Cit,

DEATH FROM SNAKE POIsoN.-In
Allegheny county. Nd, three weeks
ago, a lad named John Irwin Elliott, lS
years of age, found his dog lighting a
rattlesnake. The dos killed the snake,
but was so badly bitten that he died
himself 10 short time. Young Elliott
then cut the snakes head and rattles off.
A few hours later he began to manifest
symptoms of poisoning, and his left side
and leg became swollen and discolored.
Everything possible was done for him,
but he grew no better, and for nearly
three weeks he suffered great agony,
until Saturday, when he died. How
the poison was communicated to the lad
is a mystery, since he was not bitten,
nor scratched, and could MT explain
how he became infected, After death
the body became spotted about the
neck and near the throat. and great
quantities of pus were found in various
parts of the body.

THE IRON TRADE IN THE United
STATES. Swank, OF the
American Iron and Steel Association,
has issued his usual elaborate report OF
the trade fol- 1878, and the figures are
certainly encouraging. The production
of pig metal last year was greater than
any year since 1874. This Improvement
is accounted for by the increasing BUSH
ness of boundaries and machine shops,
and the growth Of the Ressemer steel
industry. The pig iron produced in
1878 amounted to 2,57,96l tons OF 2
900 pounds against 2,3l4,5S5 tons in
1877, 1908, 236 in 1876, and 2,266, 5ol
in 1875. The average price, however,
was lower than ever before known, mum

BAYARD OF misunderstanding
Bayard has won the admiration of those
whe agree with him and the respect
even oi his opponents, by his unilinch-
ing adherence to his convictions, and
his manful refusal to consent TO COM
promise on the silver bill. The events
of the past fortnight have lifted him into
greater prominence than ever as the
man for 1880. The SILVER men, bow
ever, out of revenge, may tomahawk

But Bayard is one of the men that would
rather be right than be President. We

The Prince Of Wales and his
Debts.


The Prince of Wales, who for some
years past has been on the high tide o.
popularity, has recently given great
umbrage to his SomeEsetshire and Corn
ish tenantry BY resembling decision to
reduce their rents-on account of the
present hard times-by twenty-five per
cent. The poor prince is placed in rath-
er an awkward position his mothers
niggardliness and his own lavish dispo-
sition have combined to involve him
tremendously in debt. l am told on
good authority that his Royal Highness
is indebted to London tradesmen alone
in the sum of 92,500,0Os. OF course.
the heir present can obtain unlimited
credit /; al! his creditors are sure Of their
money sooner or later, and even in the
event of his death before his ascension
to the throne, there is no doubt of their
being paid in full. Still the claims upon
his purse are most pressing, and the
question Of" ways and MEANS" which
many q poorer man has lately had to
take most seriously into consideration,
has not been without significance to the
future King of England. Most of the
landed gentry and noblemen OF England
have lately that it their duty, or policy,
to forego a considerable portion of their
income 10 those who will till their lands.
The Duke of Bedford has RENTED fifty
per cent. Of his rents, which is clear
loss Of $4,000 a year to him. What
ovor tha foulfc Of tho princa of Wales
may be, stinginess could never be justly
ascribed to him, and very dire must
have been the necessity which could
have induced him to alter the determine
alton he had come to, to follow the ex-
ample of so many leading peers and
gentry in sacrificing portion of their
income to the pressing need Of the dis
tracted and disheartened English farm
ers.-London Cor. Phila. Telegraph.
