SALT AS A WHEAT FEariL-
IZER.
To the Editor of The Detroit Free
Press:
received circular few days ago
from Bay City in the interest of fer
tilizing salt, which appears com
munication from me to the Free Press,
giving my experience in the use of
salt as n fertilizer on oats and spring
wheat in 1879. In this communica-
tion promised To give to your paper
the result of my experience with salt
had then applied to winter wheat,
which at that writing was still on the
ground.
After hasverting the ten acres o.
oats referred to in Experience No so,
plowed the ground. fitted it for wheat
in the usual way, and applied $50
pounds of salt to the acre 1t came
up nicely and gave a fine appearance

ing it yielded 295 bushels, or twenty
nine and a-half bushels to the acre
Very few pieces OF wheaton, the best
fallows in this vicinity equaled it in
yield, the berry was remarkably plump
and heavy.
On my fallow the same season ap
piled thu same amount of salt $50
pounds to the acre., Immediately be-
fore drilling the wheat.
The fallow field was what is known
as clay a1d gravel loan. had been
complete run down by constant cul-

ovating process for a few years, or
since had owned it,
This wa fine appearing wheat field

mostly to the use of the salt, and
since that have ordered Car load

A DEvL-FIsH IN OHIO WATERS.

Mr.. Geo. Stryker, of Highland
township, near Defiance, O., went to
the dam fishing few days since, and
while there observed a peculiar look
ing object floating in shallow water.
Approaching it cautiously he scooped
it up in his hat, and found to his hor.
ror that he had an ugly looking fish or
animal with a body like a piece OF
liver, a head with a bill like bird,
and large eyes. Its tail was diamond
shaped, and from its body projected
tentacles or feelers, which were GOV.
cred with suckers. The longest ten.
tacle was ten inches long. The whole
fish was about twelve inches in length.
Mr.. Stryker kept the fish several
DAYS and then took it to Defiance,
where many persons have viewed it.

devil-6sh.

citizens is gone. CHARLES HEwISs, ESQ,
died at his house on State street, Monday
evening, September LIST, after an illness of
several weeks. The decisive cause of his
death was a cancerous affection of the liver
His health had not been good for many
months prior to the final attack which proved
fatal. His age was 65 years. He was born
in the adjoining town of Manchester A
cripple from Infancy. circumstances did not
favor him in school education. But his per
sis'ent application gave him that self culture
which enabled him to become a successful
teacher of youth. Thirty years ago he was
at the head of the Grammar School in this
city, making his mark as an instructor endear-
ing himself to his pupils, and securing the
respect of our citizens. He remained in
charge of the school several years. In 1855
he was appointed Deputy Sheriff and keeper
of the Jail by Sheriff Gibreth. He was
Sheriff of Kennebec county from 1864 to
1868, and subsequently Register of Probate

sitions OF trust and responsibility. he discharg-
ed his duties with fidelity and strict integrity
Always taking an intelligent and lively
interest in pending public questions, his
friends and those who differed from him
always knew where to find him. He had an
accurate knowledge of governmental affairs.
and improved his knowledge by extensive
reading and patient investigation. Strong in
his convictions, he was early an anti slavery
man, and long took an active interest in
Temperance and Prohibition. For nearly
forty years he was devoted member of the
Universalist Parish and Church of Augusta,
and contributed very literally of his limited
pecuniary means to the erection of the
Winthrop street church. At his decease he
was one of the oldest existing members of
the Parish and Church, and he will be great
10 missed by his religious associates, as we'll
as by a numerous circle of friends and
acquaintances among our citizens. None
will withhold from him the deserved reputa-
ton OF an honest man. His wife died in 1877
He leaves no children. His niece and adopted
daughter, Mrs. Ossian Pillsbury. tenderly
cared for him in his last illness. His funeral
will take place at his late residence at 4 P.
