FROM AN OHIO POINT OF VIEW.

PRESIDENTIAL PROBABILITIES on BOTH SIDES
Replying to the inquiries of TRIBUNE re-
porter Theodore Cook OF Cincinnati said at the Fifth

however, another report, which IL that Mr. Tlden de

Democratic possibilities in the order OF Mcdonald Payne
and Hewitt. Mcdonald is the favOrtc."
"What about the old ticket'f"
"n the Democrats Of the country could b. satisfied that

Concerning Republican possibilities, Mr.. Cook said:
General r. sherman could have the nomination.

there would he severe fight against him on religious

Twill not be able to give the cor
rect yield Of Mr.. Clough's oats, as the
threshing was twice stopped by the
late heavy rains, which caused much
waste and the job is still unfinished,
but the crop will fall short of my es-
innate probably 8 or 10 bushels per
acre. The oats were sown in April.
on sod not backset and much of the
seed was not covered and failed to
sprout until the June rains, consc.
quently there were many green oats
not far enough advanced to FIJI, which
lowered the yield materially. If the
ripe oats could have stood without
waste until the late ones were filled,
my estimate would have been low
enough. 1 was in error, in former
communication, about the grain fall
ing in the black soil-sf the upland
valleys, yet correct about the heavy
growth of straw. The straw is so re-
markably stiff that our heaviest
storms failed to throw it down, and
if it were not for the self binding
reapers it would be very difficult to
bind it by hand.

most wise selections.

PROFESSOR ISAAC J. OsBUN whose inter-
esting lecture on "Physics " at the State
Teachers Association in Montpelier, two
years ago, will be remembered by all who
heard it, died recently at Granville, Ohio.
Professor Osbun was widely and favorably
known from his connection for seven years
as an instructor in the State Normal School
in Salem, Mass. He was about thirty-seven
years of age. His special field was chem
istry and the sciences generally. He was
much more than an ordinary teacher. His
methods ofinstruction were strikingly origi-
nal and effective, and so commanded the
approval of other educators that they have
been widely copied by the best schools of
the country. AS a Christian scientist, as a
genial, whole-hearted gentleman, and as
one who was always ready to do what he
could for the benefit of others, Professor
Osbun will be kindly remembered by all
who were privileged to know him. His
early death is a great loss to the cause OF
education.
