Farmers will see ny the above that
it pays much better than wheat. We
think it would be better if our farm
ers would divide their crops-raise
more of u variety. For instance, a
man with so acres puts in 80 in wheat,
10 acres each in oats, barley, corn,
cane and potatoes. Now you have
oats, hurley and corn enough to feed
your stock through the year, and by
the above estimate you would have
1900 gallons, which would bring you
/ a clear profit of 500; ten acres Of
potatoes, at fair yield, will bring
1900 bushels, which will give you a
net profit of $500; you have a
total profit Of $40 off twenty acres,
$3.50 more than your wheat brings
at q yield OF twenty bushels per acre
and s. cents per bushel. Farmers
may say that it throwing the land
away to raise potatoes, i. e. they can
raise more profitable crop with small
grain and less labor; we do not deny
but they n,but you need a variety
should storm come and destroy
your wheat, you would have your
potatoes to keep the 'wolt" from
your door and the children from freez-
ing, in winter. This is something
that orr farmers should think of.

Fish have not commenced to run very well

Hank says he did not think the water was
so cold; he was spearing fish, the boat struck

The mill will shut down at the end of this
week for repairs, and will probably be rum

scnooNER JANE pElL wnEcKEp.


The large three mast schooner Jane Bell
of Cleveland went ashore near Sturgeon
Point last Tuesday night between nine
and ten o'clock and will prove total loss
together with her cargo Of 600 tons Of orc.
The Jane Bell left Escannba last Friday
with her cargo consigned 10 Rhodes &
Co., Ashtabula. She had arrived 70 with
in few miles Of her destination when she
encountered a gale from the northward,
and was driven ashore at the above named
point, about five miles west Of Ashtabula.
Captain p. II. Finley Of Oberlin, and his
crew, Fred Miller, VIM. Mcdonald, Alpha
Crowl, James Rogers, l.. B. Trask, Jacob
Zalf, Thomas Phillips and W. J. Finley
remained on board until Wednesday morn
ing when AN attempt was made to reach
the shore in the yawl; the boat was cap.
sized and Crowl and Rogers drowned.
The Jane Bell was owned by Edward
Crowl and his son Alpha Crowl Of Cleye-
land, the latter being ono Of the two who
we're lost. She was valued at $1S, 900 and
was insured for $4,000; was built by
Campbell & Owens Of Detroit in March,
1862, but has been rebuilt within the past
few years aud was regarded as staunch
CART. The cargo was consigned to the
Himrod Furnace Company Of Youngstown.
The deck and rigging are scattered along
the shore, but the hull remains where it
first struck.
The body Of the drowned sailor, Rogers,
came ashore soon after the boat capsized,
but at this writing, that Of young Crowl
had not yet been recovered.
An interview with Capt. Finley and
owner-Edward Crowl-of the sch'r Jane
Bell on Thursday, enables us to correct
some Of the errors Of the reports Of the
Cleveland dales. These gentleman scout
the idea OF leaving the wreck from "iear, "
as it required much more pluck to attempt
to go ashore than to remain. This was
proven by the immediate swamplng Of the
boat and the drowning Of two nf the COM
pany. Capt. Finley saved himself by
swimming ashore, and the others were
picked up. Instead Of COVERING the
boat-as the vessel lay upon the bottom IN
about l2 feet OF water--the yawl was al
ready in the water, afoul, and considerable
labor and danger was endured to bring it
alongside. The distance from shore to
where the vessel grounded, was about one
third OF mile, little east Of Geneva
some 10 or 10 miles from her destination.
When the boat left, the main and mizzen
masts had both gone 10y the board, and the
foremasL had become quite shaky. The
vessel was fast breaking up, and how soon
the work might be completed was only a
question Uf very short time.

wheat-the acreage is large. Super phos-

results both in the crop and upon the soil.

feet The mainmast was taken from the
premises of Edward Glllett, and the top
mast from the land of John Hardy-both
donated. These gentlemen are in full
sympathy with the object. The flag was
made by the ladies, but the lack Of ma
terial cut short a stripe, and the flag was
raised in its incomplete state. This raised
the bristles of the Demos who threatened
to pull it down. The fear, however, that
such an undertaking might shorten in their
number of votes they wisely concluded to
let her wave. 1t has since been completed,
and all is we'll.

VERY RICH.

The Ashtabula correspondence OF the
Cleveland Herald, of Saturday last tells
the following capital story of member Of

upon Colonel Oil, which is decidedly rich
and shows what vein of waggery runs
through this Hon. member:
"The boys" he says, "contriYe to have
considerable fun when off duty; for in
stance, this morning Hon. Freeman Thorp,
who is a member of the Ohio Legislature,
and a private soldier in Company l,
thought to play a joke upon Colonel Oil,
by taking the Colonels coffee pot, filled
with hot coffee, from the fire and carrying
it up to the quarters Of Company l; but
the Colonel got even with him by order
ing him detailed to sweep around head
quarters. This Thorp proceeded to do,
carrying off some fine pears that were in
the ColOnel's tent and stealing his morn.

he always got his meals where he did his
work, promised that he would stay around
to dinner. Colonel Oil happened to be in
vited out to dinner, so Thorp went to the
suffers tent and told he sutler he was on
duty at headquarters, and ordered lemon
ade, melons, and other delicacies for the
Colonel dinner, to be sent down to the
Colonel's tent, and he (Thorp) enjoyed a
first class dinner at the COlOneps expense,
and when the Colonel got back to camp
the melon rInds and the bill was all that
was left except Thorp, and he left before
