EX-GOVERNOR ENGLISH MARRIED.

Ex-Governor James E. English of New Haven and Miss Fannie K. Morris, daughter of Mrs l.. Morris of NewYork, were married Wednesday afternoon, Oc- tober T, at the residence of Mrs H. B. Plant, No 5S6 Fifth avenue, by Rev Dr Parker Morgan, rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest. There were no ush- CTS or bridesmaids, and only the imme- diate relatives and friends of the bride and groom were present. The parlors of Mrs Plants residence, in which the ceremony was performed, were richly decorated with flowers. Although he is B years of age, Governor English's tall form is as straight as an arrow. He has fine military bearing, a dignifed, i'm p-essive face and courtly manners. As he stood with Miss Morris before Rev Dr Morgan the average observer would have spoken of him as man under 60. The bride, fully 40 years younger, is beautiful, with tall, graceful figure. Miss Morris was born and reared in Georgia and has many graces of mind and manner.
 After the ceremony there was four hour breakfast at Delmonico's. MT and Mrs English will live at Windsor hotel for while, and, before spending the winter in Florida, will visit MT English s home in New Haven, where grand re- ception will be held. The marriage unites families that have known and re- speeted each other for five generations. Mrs English's grandfather on the batter nal side owned the greater part of East Haven, Conn, and gave Morris's cove its name. She has $75, 900 in her own right. Ex-Governor English's wealth is variously estimated from $2,0OO. 900 to s6,OOO,OOO.

FLORLDA'S RAPID GROWTH.
From the Hart ford Times.

1TUHt ute auTJOVu 1dlt6S.
 Florida's state census, just completed, shows some remarkable results. First, the population has increased, since the federal census of 1880, no less than 64, 4,653, while the value of real and per sonal property has in the same time doubled. It is now S60, 0,598, ,619, as against $30, ,938, ,3O9 in 1880. Florida is rapidly filling up with settlers from the North and West-men who bring some money into the state, but more valu- able gain in the shape of brains and en- ergy and capacity to discern the char acter and direction of needed improve ments and the life to carry them out. The peninsula is great country, geo. graphically, and there is and long will be room enough for all new corners. The making of new railroads is doing more than any other one thing (next to its superb winter climate) to develop and build up Florida. As these roads reach farther and farther down into the most southern parts of the peninsula the tendency will become more and more pronounced to settle up the available localities in that region, for its winter climate is finer than that of northern and middle Florida; but South Florida is so largely an area of swamp and water that vast reclamations and improvements must be made before the larger part of it can be rendered available for places of residence.

OUR MICHIGAN LETTER.
ID Me Editor of The Ne,cs:

To the Edito,. oe The Ne,cs:
 We have had lovely weather so far and this morning we had the first kill ling frost, as all vegetation was as green and fresh yesterday as in August-even the leaves of the buckeye (horse-chest- nut tree are still perfect, and we are enjoying beautiful Indian summer weather.
 Our farmers have been busy for the past month putting in their wheat crop seeding, as 1t is called here-and few of them have not quite finished yet. Sowing wheat in the west is very diff ferent affair from what it is in New Eng land. Here 1t is all done with drill drawn by two horses, the driver sitting at his ease riding from one side to the other of field of 20 to 80 acres. East ern people hardly realize the immense grain-growing capacity of the mighty west.
 In manufacturing, New England and the eastern states are largely ahead of us, but in grain growing, cattle-raising, and all food producing, the west takes the lead and can easily keep in advance.
 We need your manufactures, and we are glad to exchange the products of our broad acres for the skilled handi- work which the shops and factories of New England turn out The exchange will inure to our mutual benefit. "So mote it be-
 Our corn crop is immense. Our pc tato crop, both Irish and sweet, bounti- ful and of excellent quality. R. WI.
