Ohio Wheat Prosnects.

CLEVELAND, March 31--Herald spe-
cials from about one hundred points in
Ohio in regard to the prospects of the
wheat crop show general increase in
the acreage, ranging from ten to twenty
ty-five per cent, though slight falling
off is reported in a few sections. The
winter has been favorable to ii large
yield, though the snow is regarded with
some apprehension if followed by a
sharp frost, as has been predicted. If
frost follows, this snowfall is considered
advantageous. On the lake border the
March frosts done considerable damage
in some places. In the Southern part
the crop is backward. but promises well,
and the acreage is very largely increas-
ed. In Central Ohio the increase in acre
age is from 10 to Is per cent, and the
crop in good condition.

THERE is some difference of opinion
as to the better time to SOW timothy and
clover the spring or in the fall
though the weight of experience seems
to be with the former time. Even after
sowing in the fall, however, the seed
does not seem to be well set, it is a
good idea to sow right over again in the
spring, without breaking the ground. a
plan which is almost sure to give close
and satisfactory growth. Blue grass
may be sown to advantage in this filling
up process, and it will attain maturity
and strength against the timothy and
clover are worn out [Stockman.

HoADLEY, the inventor and defender
of the Cronin Electoral College of One,
has been intorrogated for his opinion
concerning the future of the Democratic
party. He Is opposed to dissolution of
the party, and says: Il am in favor of
the old name, the flag, appropriation or
no appropriation, and the principles of
Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden." Why
leave out Hancock? Is there anything
the matter with his "principle?" His
views on the tariff were the only fresh
principles the patty has had in quarter
of century, and Hancock has just said
he holds them yet, and is rather proud
of them. 1t is small in Hoadley to ignor
them.-N. Y. Tribune.

the Democratic party should disband. 1t

its organization through the strain and

the Constitution, founded Un the princi-
Piles of Jefferson, with one-half the
States and one-half the people on its

IT is expecting too much of any one
to do good work, and plenty of it, with
out good tools. This is true concerning
every man who labors, but Of no one
more than of the farmer. Indeed we
doubt whether the quality of the tools
he works with is as essential to any
other man as to the tiller of the soil.
Good farm machinery means an economy
of time and expense, well done work,
and Independence of that class of en-
ployes who are sure to leave the farmer
in the lurch when most badly needed.
1t means enterprise, thrift, success. 1t
is not every kind of farm tool or machine
on the market, however, which should
find its way into use. There are gim-
cracks and humbugs in agricultural i'm
plements, as we'll as in any other class
of manufacturers. But the farmer who
keeps himself supplied with good tools,
bought with care and discrimination, is
in a mojority of cases the eminently sue
cessful one. Agricultural fairs are a
great advantage to the farming commu-
nifty in this particular, as they bring to-
gether new and convenient as well as
old and well-tried machinery in kind
of rivalry calculated to bring out the
special points for which the purchaser
is in search. The time was when the
extreme cost of all these implements
kept them off great many farms, but
the strong competition in manufacture
brought them within the reach of nearly
all, and under oldiuary circumstances
all should have ethem.-Stockman.

AN exchange, which appears to be

who has recently brought himself into
decidedly unfavOrable nOtoriety by his
unprovoked attack upon Senator Ma

"Ben Hill, the liar and coward. is
charged with causing the death of VIM.
l.. Yancy. During heated debate, some
years ago, Hill called Yancy liar, and
the latter sprang forward to strike Hill,
who caught Yancy and threw him yiO-
lently over desk. Hill was much the
larger and stronger man, and Yancy the
more active. In the fall his spine was
injured and he lay unconscious on the
floor, with blood oozing from his lips.
He was taken away, and the members
tried to keep the matter secret, and did
prevent it from being known for six
months. Yancy never recovered; he
dropped from day to day, became hope
less, listles and vacant, and passed quiet
ly away"

A Rejected suitOr's Ruse.

the children of wealthy people. The girl
was engaged to be married on the 9th inst.
TO an estimsble young gentleman. At a
party given one day last week rejected
sutton who appeared 10 take his rejection
with perfect GOODNESS and good nature, asked
the young lady to rchearse the marriage
ceremony with him in order that she might

ing her hand TO his friendly rival A minis.
ter who was present was asked TO assist in
the rehearsal, AID the girl jokinly consented.
The marriage service was gone through, tho
proper responses made by the principals in
the presense of a crowd of amused spectators,
and the pair were pronounced man and wife
lin jest by the minister. Then the fun be-
gan. The young m an claimed that he was
lawfully married and acknowledged the ruse
no had resor.ed TO to get his bride. The
minister saw the.part no had been unwilling.
" made to perform, and had to acknowledge
that, in the eye of the law, 1t was a legitimate
marriage. The girl was frantic when sho re-
allied tho full extent of the joke. She refuses
to live with him.
