The Guiteau farce which is on the boards
at Washington, still drags its weary length
along, to the disgust of all good citizens, and
to the shame and disgrace of this nation.
The case has already been once adjourned
on account of the death of the wife of one
OF the jurors, and it looks as though both
court and jury might die of old age before
1t will terminate. In any other civilized
country on the globe the miserable assassin
would have been tried and hung, and his
worthless carcass have become food for
worms long ere this. If the result however.
shall be his conviction and execution, the
country will overlook all else and devoutly
rejoice i'll the final contamination of Justice.
even though it be tardy The villain has
posed himself before the country about long
enough, and it is time he surrendered his
oversight and charge of the court to its
legitimate custodian, the Judge. The idea
that such low, vile creature as he should
virtually control the court, is outrageous and
insulting to the entire people. Nevertheless,
when Guiteau says. "Come Judge. il is time
TO 90 home" Judge Cox quietly and docile-
~ complies with the demand and adjourns
court. Bah

The State Fish Commissioner will distrib-
ute 1000 carp in small lots next spring.
They will do well in our smaller lakes and
ponds, especially those which are not stocked
with bass, pickerel and white fish, as they
destroy them. To obtain these fish applica-
cation must be made to James q. Portman,
Superintendent, Paris Mecosta county.
The carp is native of the central coun-
tries of Europe and the corresponding lati-
tudes of Asia, but on account of its value as
food it has been naturalized in many coun-
tries in which it was not indigenous. No fish
except its congener, the gold fish, has been
so much transported by man from one place
to another, and this can be more easily &C
complished because the carp can subsist
much longer than most fish out of water, if
only kept moist. The fecundity of the carp
in favorable climates is most prodigious-
more than 10000 eggs having been found in
a single fish of moderate size. 1t is rather
an inhabitant of lakes and ponds than of
rivers. and if found in the latter it will seek
the stillest water. 1t deposits its spawn on
weeds and is said to live TO great age-eve
$50 or 200 years. Its growth is not so rapid
as in some other species, but has been known
however to attain the weight of three pounds
in six years. They often weigh Is or 10 lbs.
and have been caught that weighed seventy
pounds.
This is the first introduction of them, to
any extent, into Michigan waters, and if they
thrive it will be valuable acquisition to our
food-producing fish. In Austria and Prussia
many lakes and ponds are let at high rent
for the carp they contain.

The 18th Congressional District has reason
to feel proud of the recognition which its
representative received in the formation of
the committees of the House. Mr.. Burrows
was placed on the Appropriations commit
tee, one of the most important of all. He
was also assigned to the Craftsmanship of
the Committee on Territories, and in that
position will have something to say about
poIygamy in Utah and about the admission
De found on the right side of those questions,
the same as he is generally found on all
questions of political character.

two per cent. and in the counties north of
the southern four tiers by six per cent, indi-
eating q probable acreage in the State of
about l,s34,529 acres. The condition Dec.
in the southern four tiers of counties was
about 1872 per cent, and in the northern
counties about III pen cent, of the condition
Dec. /, 1880. This excellent showing is sup
plemented in numerous instances by state
ments that the wheat presents an unusually
fine appearance, having filtered well and OBJ
tanned large growth. The white grub and
Hessian fly are reported present in various
localities, but while they may, and undoubt-
edly will, injure individual fields, the reports
do not indicate that their ravages will notice
ably affect the aggregate product of the State.
Wheat seldom, if ever, has gone into the
winter in better condition than this year.
The yield of corn in 1881 is estimated at
40,46090l bushels of ears, or about 20,23O,-
$50 bushels of shelled corn. These figures
are based on the acreage as estimated in
September, and the yield per acre as esti-
mated in December.
At the date of making the reports but a
small portion of the clover seed had been
hulled, and correspondents in the counties
of Barry Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass,
Eaton, Hillsdale, jackson, Kent, Lenawee,
Oakland, and st. Joseph in the southern
part of the State, and in Grand Traverse and
report. the clover coed greatly damaged by
the wet weather, A.any fields being entirely
of the crop destroyed. One correspondent
in Cass reports Il per cent rotting in the
fields, and another thinks not bushel will
be saved in his township. The estimates,-
l and 72-hundredths bushels per acre in the
southern, and and 43-hundredths bushels
in the northern counties.-are at best but
rough guesses.
Inc yield or potatoes Is estimated at %
bushels per acre in the southern and 100
bushels in the northern counties.
The average condition las regards hesh) of
cattle in the southern four tiers of counties
is about the same, and of sheep two per cent
better, while in the northern counties the
average of each is about seven per cent bet
ter, than on December l, 1880.

A few days ago the following conversation
occurred between a citizen of the west part
of our county and one of our most eminent

such a task for this people. and it leaves me
with terrible headache.
Dr.-Take cigar, Elder. and smoke, it
will. no doubt, relieve your head.
The Elder takes the prescription, and as
the smoke curls above his venerable head,
he acknowledges that he thinks it helps it.
DIDO you not sometimes feel, Elder,
that you are carrying great burden for this
people?
Edit does at times so weigh me down,
that it leaves me sad and weary at heart
and -
Dr.-Elder, take a drink. Offering the
bottle.
Eld.-Don't care if do.
Dr.-Come in again and see me.
Eld.-Oh, yes o(hic)ften. 1 feel greatly
relieved.
(E'rd Elder.)
MORAL: When you have the headache,
smoke when weary at heart, take drink.

Michigan Crop Report for Month of
December, 1881.

For this report returns have been received
from 9l3 correspondents, located in 664
townships. Five hundred and sixty-two of
these returns are from $40 townships in the
southern four tiers of counties. The returns
were made between December 1 and IL.
The report shows the estimated acreage
