A Letter from Michigan.
lEor he Connecticut Neste,n Me,na.

(For the Connecticut Western Neoos.)
 Mfr Editor:-In a former number of the NEWS, in which was printed short article from my pencil, you pleasantly requested to hear from me occasionally, and not being very busy will this morn ing comply with your kind request.
 We have so far had a pleasant au- tumn; only one killing frost up to this time and that not very killing, as leaves are still green on the trees, only the most tender, as locust and buckeye (horse chesnut) foliage beginning to fall. Such mild weather is not common even here. Our climate is not as severe as Connecticut, although in about the same latitude.
 Our farmers are nearly through with fall work. Wheat is all sown, potatoes dug and corn mostly secured. Crops of all kinds have been good the past season, but prices low. Wheat our great staple now brings seventy five cents, corn fifty cents and potatoes twenty-five cents per bushel. At these prices farmers can live, but don't grow rich very fast.
 In the NEWS of October 9, mention Is made that Joshua Belden of Belden street had number of chickens stolen. MT Belden IS an old time acquaintance and friend, and his two sisters, Betsey Ann and Emeline, are also pleasantly remembered. I regret his loss and hope the thieves may be caught with chicken bones in their throats. In the same number of the paper something is said of Whiting Miner, well remembered by me as the son of Capt Miner, the black smith, who lived and had his shop just north of the Robbins place and the Hol= lenbeck bridge in Canaan. It is pleas ant to see the names of old friends and acquaintances appear in print, bringing up pleasant memories of 'long time ago."
 Here, as in New England and all over the land, political excitement runs high and the great question discussed is, who shall be the next president ? The time is near at hand when that question will be decided, and for one the writer will be glad when the battle is over. Mir Blaine has been travelling through the west stamping it, as we western folks say, and has visited this city, but how many votes were changed is query. Let truth and honesty prevail

JUDGE RCRARY.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean, referring
to the resignation OF Judge McCrary,
says: "He is man of great learning,
and Judge whose decisions have never
been reversed. If the United States
government could pay a. large salaries
as the railr, a companies it would
keep It's best men ON The BENCH
The salary of u Circuit Judge is
$4,000 year, aod the appointments is
for life. We don't know what the sal
airy of the General Solicitor of the A.,
L. & s. F. Railroad company Is; we
have understood that it is $4,000 per
year. nut the position of Solicitor of
d railroad company is OF very uncertain
tenure. Changes are constantly being
made in tbe~dlreetOry OF railroads, and
in their General Managers, and such
changes always extend, more or less, to
subordinate employees. Six thousand a
year for HE, in as distinguished and
honorable position as that of United
States Judge, is, it seems to US, better
salary than d ,uble that amount as the
solicitor of railroad company, holding
place during The pleasure of a few rail-
road officials.
We are, sorry that Judge McCrary
has accepted this office. AS we said
some days ago, it is not pleasant to see
United States Judges resigning then
places to accept positions in the employ
of great corporations. Judge AicCrary
is undoubtedly man of great ability
and fine personal integrity, but we cans
help thinking That he has made mis-
take.

NUMBER 8.

Among the older statesmen who have
passed away, the most marked in char
acter were Alexander Stephens and Ier-
emiah Black, both men of acute intel
leet, who strove all their lives in politics
to make ''the worse appear the better
reason.
The hand of death fell upon Francs
during the year, and took azay the
leaders of the two political parties, as
widely divergent in their personal histo-
~ rs in their political sentimsats. The
Que was the descendent of alineof Kings
the other-the child of the people. The
Count de Chambord represented Bour-
bonism, which is worn and ANTIQUE
garment; Gambetta represented Repub-
IcanisEp. the YeStment which is to clothe
universal sovereignty in The future. The
burial of the two men was typical. s'Hen-
~ ," as he was called by his partisans
was followed by a small com 9any of
fantastic king-worshippers, while Gam
BETA was buried like a King, not AS
clique. but real monarch Of the peo-
Pile.
The ranks of diplomacy lost Gorts-
chokOg, who was one of those who
thought to dam the deluge which is yet
to over whelm Russia. He died in good
time.
The greatest literary man who has
died during the year was Tourgenieff.
rhe most useful man of letters who
passed away was John Richard Green,
who wrote the Short History of English
People.
The best known American to 90 over
TO the majority was Peter Cooper. 1t
doubtful If d more practical philanthro-
pist has ever been given To, or taken
from, this country. Several veterans
OF the war for the Union went to the
camp beyond the river, the best known,
perhaps beingGsn. Steedman. T Cham
