4 LETTER FROM MICHIGAN.
Editor Ne,rs:

Edit0r NelcS:
 If you fail to hear from your occasion al Michigan correspondent as often as you wish or expect, you need not think you are forgotten, for you are still re- membered. There is no good reason why your communications from the Wolverine state should be so infrequent; your correspondent has plenty of leis- ure time and Is not averse to the use of the pen, it is only carelessness.
 Ou- spring was backward after an un- precedentfy cold, hard winter, but the weather is now all that we could wish. Crops of all kinds are coming forward nicely and the country is looking its very best, only two or three weeks late.
 Growing wheat is looking we'll, never looked better, only little late and if no mishap befalls it, Southwestern Michi- gan will have most excellent crop, both as to quality and quantity. Wheat is now selling for 95 cents per bushel, and about 5000 bushels per day are sold in this market.
 Corn is out of the ground and is being thorougly worked, or tended as our farmers term, and this work will contin- ue without interruption until wheat ri pens, and the help is needed in the har- vest field. Harvesting will commence this season about the 10th of July; it usually begins about the first of July. Corn raising here is somewhat different than in New England. We raise corn on the Southern or Hoosier system. A hoe is never seen in the field after the corn is planted. The corn is worked by horse cultivators from the time it Is through the ground so the rows can be seen until the tassel shows itself, and is the true way to raise corn.

His real name is Woods. He was at one time a
member CT the London bar, and served seven
years penal servitude for forgery.
He next went to New York and had to fee for
defrauding an Insurance Company there by means
Of bogus policies. He then travelled through the
New England states representing himself as

500 Ior preliminary expenses OF examining prop
erty and titles When he had made large enough
haul in this way he cleared out. He arrived in
Montreal about three years ago, and carried on
the same game, with wonderful success, for two
years, receiving correspondence from all parts of
Canada and the United States. He formed syn
dicate, and built the Crystal Palace Opera House,

warrant has been issued here for their arrest at
the instance of n. E. Labee & Co., so that if they
get of at Toronto they will be brought here.

is a rich jew at Vienna, who furnishes the money
necessary for putting up jobs, and they have con-
