A. C. MAXWELL ION FOR THE
CHARGE"

A. G. Maxwell who maintains that
he is entitled to the seat in CONGRESS
held by ii. II. Hatch of the tenth dis
trict, was in Detroit Friday, and while
here had something to say concerning
the contest in which he has taken the
initial step. lie declared his inten-
tion to push an Investigation
and establish the fraudulent means
by which he claims Iris defeat was ef-
fected. Incident to this movement.
he said that two or three prominent
Republican politicians in Bay City
would bc prosecuted for the bribery Of
voters, claiming to have in his posses
sion evidence that will bring out their
conviction. Who these parties arc or
what is the character of the testimony
at his command is not part of his
statement, nor did he make known
the time fixed for his commencement
OF the post-mortem investigation.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

An exchange says: a paper to be
first class must receive a first class sup
port. First t-class support consists in
every subscriber paying his subscrip-
ton iii advance, patronizing the job
department instead of sending the
work to foreign Offices, and in every
way giving the paper your moral
help. Taking it and reading it and
not paying for it, will never do.
Moral support of itself was never
known TO run newspapers; moral sup
port cannot be utilized when ink and
paper bills are to be paid. The men who
work on newspapers are human, and
enjoy corned beef and cabbage as well
as other people. The atmosphere in this
locality contains large amount of
ozone and is very bracing, the scenery
very grand and picturesque, but
nevertheless It seems to be one of
Natures laws that one can't pay for
printing material with ozone, or feed
Sorkmen on beautiful SCENERY.

SALT AS A FERTILIZER.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman has this to say as to the
use of salt as fertilizer:
The efficacy and value of salt on
growing crops, is perceive the sub
ject of some discussion in the columns
of the Country Gentleman. a good
deal has been said in favor of its use
before, and believe the general opin-
ION is that its application is beneficial.
The principle question raised now re-
lates to the quantity required. In the
central countries of this State, where
facilities are found for producing a
cheap article at the salt works in this
city, doubt if more than two or three
bushels per acre is deemed good econ
omy. A thorough experiment in En-
gland, some years ago, showed that
vegetation could not bear more than
eight bushels an acre, while twice that
quantity destroyed every ve:tige Of
vegetable life. The use OF sat for
agricultural purposes in Great Britain
is very large. An old farmer in the
a Joining town of Onondaga told the
writer hereof that bu>hrl o. salt on
his barley, whore it had reached few
inches in hight, gave him return OF II
bushel of gain, besides the benefit
obtained afterwards upon the land.
The late Squire NJ. Brown, of Elbridge
tried the effect OF salt upon his winter
wheat very faithfully, and he became
an enthusiastic supporter of the thu
ory that it paid handsomely. lie
holds that salt strengthens the stalks
of the plant by adding to it's silex and
preventing the lodging of the straw.
But this was not all the advantage; I;
the berry was larger, mud iaade more
flour
One of the correspondents of the
Country Gentleman speaks of putting
three barrels of salt on an acre. Tie
English trails proved that this is to-
tally unnecessary, besides ruinOus.
should advise two and half bushels
per acre, applied generally when the
growing crop had attained few inch
es in hight, say in May. There are
some soils on which salt appears to be
effective. The farmer will learn from
experience which can be benefited
most l should not apply it TO moist
or mucky land. That it will make a
good return l think cannot be doubt
full, and its more extended use in this
country is to be recommended.
French and German authorities re-
commend the use of salt at the rate of
.150 pounds per acre for clover and
other leguminous plants; for wheat
and Hax, ESQ pounds; and for barley
and potatoes, 800 pounds to be sown
broadcast in the spring and fall sea
sons before the herbage has attaincd d
any considerable growth.

FATALLY STABBED.

Last Wednesday night tragedy was
enacted at thu house of John Morey,
a farmer living near Houghton Lake.
1t seems that he had sent for -four to
Prudenville by JAMES Ogden, who in
formed him on his return that ne could
not procure the article in Prudenvil'e
but that plenty could be obtained at
Halls Farm. Morey started to go
there but procuring flour at neigh
bors returned home. Ogden was still
there and spoke of work Morey could
obtain by going to Prudenville and
urged him TO go imne diately. Morey
made some preparations and started,
but after leaving the house, he claims,
his suspicious were aroused that all
was not right and he returned secretly
to the house and took position I'm the
rear Of the shanty where he could see
and hear all that passed. Ogden made
overtures to Mrs. Morey to which she
did not become sufficiently indignant
70 suit her concealed husband who
awaited further developments. The
two drank together, and Ogden seiz-
ed her in his arms carried her across
the room. The next instant Morey
fred his revolver into the room and
rushed round the house TO the door,
and, firing second shot, ordered
Ogden to leave the house. Ogden in
stead of doing do overpowered Morey
and assisted by Mrs. Morey took the
revolver from him. Morey Subsequent
ly obtained knife and again ordered
Ogden from the house, and in the des-
perate struggle wlich followed Ogden
was stabbed in the stomach little be-
low the ribs on the right side. Morey
was arrested by Deputy-Sheriff Knapp
and brought to the Jail here. Ogden
was attended by DIR. Washington and
died last night about 3 o'clock. He
was about So years old and well known
in the county. Morey is said to he

/ am an advertiser great
In letters bold, and big, and round,
The praises Of my wares sound;
Prosperity is my estate.
The people come,
The people 20
In one continuous,
surgIng flow
They buy my goods and come again,
And I'm the happiest Of mon,
And this the reason relate:
am an advertiser great!
There is a shop across the way
Where ne'er Is heard human tread,
Where trade is paralyzed and dead,
With ne'er a customer q day.
The people comt,
The people GO
But never there;
They so not know
There's such shop Sensath tho skies,
Because he does not advertise;
While with pleasure contemplate
That I'm an advertiser great.
The secret OF my fortune lies
In one small fact, which. l may state.
Too many tradesmen learn too late:
If have goods TO advertise,
Then people come,
And people 20,
In constant streams
For people know
That he whs has good wares to sell
Will surely advertise them well;
And proudly reiternte,

Who never advertised, but simply waited.
So simply, and so vainiy! Splendid signs,

Such lovely clerks, cashiers, and all the rest,
Served but to show him how her public sizes

Tie waited, and all waited; clerks, cashiers

With pi rcious little fer tho crowd to do

But passea the store without { thoug ht of 3uy.Dg.
Business was dull, but salaries aad rent

Until the Sheriff closed the whole concern.
Now, at a pttarce which his soul dsspises
He works for one who always advertises.
