The estimate, about the time of his death
that Gen. Gartleld's estate was not worth over
$25, 600, appears to have been considerably un
der the mark Besides his house in Washing
ton, worth $4,000, and his farm at Lawniield
worth $4,000 more, 1t turns out, IN the course
of probating his estate, that he owned person,
al property, including books, railroad ana an
mining stocks, bonds, cattle, &c, worth sloo,,
900 Add to this S25 900 life insurance, and
some 1915 900 raised by the Field subscrip-
ton, and one years salary, $4,000, which con
gress will no doubt vote to Mrs. Garfield, rs II
did to Mrs Lincoln and the widows Of other
deceased presidents, and $4,000 pension,
which will also no doubt be voted to Mrs, Gar

From Kansas.

ROUND MOUND, Osborn Co, Kan, Nov. %.
EDS. FEEE TRADER-A little over year
ago wrote you a letter trying TO give you
some idea of this part of Kansas and the con
ditioE of the settlers. | was IN hopes by this
time | could write more iavorably, but am
sorry to say cannot.
After a cold, hard winter the spring opened
very favorable and continued SO until the ilrst
of June. Up to that time the prospect Tor d
big crop of wheat was never better; out the
drouth then set in and the chnch bugs com
menced work, so that the best yield in this
township was twelve bushels per acre, average
about six.
About the first of July we had several good
showers, but it again set in dry, and we suffer
cred good deal with the hot winds. Those
that have never experienced one OF these gen
tie breezes" can have no idea OF them. Man
or beast can hardly stand them to work H.
The thermometer often goes up TO l2O III the
shade We are a good many hundred tet'
above the sea, but on such day one could
easily imagine himself nearer the lower re
gions.
Corn will not average over ten bushels pei
acre Hundreds of pigs have been knocked
In the head for want of feed.
Many of the settlers that lett last year on
the extension" have not returned and many

not have been bought tor three hundred dol

and parties engaged III that business are DOM
we'll Osborne Co. ranks second in the STATE
IN the number OF sheep.
A considerable acreage of wheat and rye ma
been sown this fall and is looking well con
sidering the small amount OF rain we haV
had We had six inches Of snow on the loI'
INST, but 1t did not stop over day or wv"
The old settlers prophesy an open winter
Hope they are right tor it will be hard on
at best for many.
Fortunately there has been but little sick
Iness-only few cases of scurvy. The doctors
are afraid there will be considerable OF tina
this winter, for we have no fruit or vegetables
only what are shipped here. Potatoes are on
dollar and fifty cents per bushel, turnips {.
cts, corn 20 cts wheat so 10 s 90; and this
the land that was "overtlowing with milk an
honey" We can hardly get water enough l
: drink
If we don't raise anything next year thinl
there will be good many that Will say Wit
