The Corn CrOp.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.
The November report of the Department
of Agriculture gives the local yield per acre
in October, final report: Condition of
corn, which averaged 1S, was interpreted
to mean a product "close to sixteen hun
dred million bushels" The average Weld
per acre appears to be 23 10 bushels per
acre, one and half bushels per acre lower
than the yield of 1882. On the acreage re-
ported in July, sixty-eight and three-tenth
millions, exact figures would be 1877 ,OOO,-
600 bushels. In the revision of the seasons
returns this result will not be materially
changed. The product will, therefore, be
about 10000, 900 bushels short of the previ-
GUS crop.

State Fisheries, Drowned While Attempt
ing to Cross the Bay at Petoskey-Serious
Damage to Property by Storm.
PETosKEY, Mich, Nov. II.
Yesterday about noon the wind changed
round to the west, and by the middle of the
afternoon a violent gale was blowing
tremendous into the bay. In the fore
noon O. NJ. Chase, Superintendent of the
State Fisheries, accompanied by Z. IL.
Brownell, his assistant, and George NJ.
Armstrong, foreman of the Petoskey hatch
cry, went over to Harbor Springs to give
some final directions about the shipment of
spawn They chartered Mackinaw fish
boat, manned by Moses Detwilers, his sons
George and Charles, and nephew George,
all experienced and brave seamen. At 3:3O
p. M. the party left the harbor on the other
side, in spite of earnest remonstrance
against the attempt When about half
way across the boat was seen to capSlTe.
Although it seemed impossible for beat
to live in such q sea, volunteer crew
made desperate attempt to reach two
of the party, who could be plainly seen
o1inging to the boat, but
they were unable to reach them on account
of a binding snow-storm and heavy sea,
and were hardly able to get back. About
nine O'Clock the Detwiler boat, with one of
its sides crushed in, was driven on the
beach at Bay View, but not one of the
bodies has come to land. The probnb nbilties
are that none of the bodies will be recover
ed immediately, as they sank deep in the
water with Il heavy under-current making
out into the lake. AT one o'clock this
morning the new City Dock, Belps Dock,
Roses Dock, and the Bay View Dock were
swept out. Pound and gill-nets in the bay
were destroyed. The loss individually and
of public property is very large. Mr..
Chase was very popular with our people,
