|who was arrested on the charge of acting
las second, and otherwise aiding and
gabetting the prize fight which recently
occurred near Thompson's Point, in Col
Rchester, came up for trial before Justice

the entire day and upon adjournment

Eight or ten witnesses were examined

that McGreavy took prominent part in

THE VERMONT HAY CROP.


a special despatch from St. Adams to
the Boston JolTHdI says: supplementary
returns received at the JoirHdl News
Bureau since the early days in July con-
cerning the hay crop in this State are to
the effect that the yield of this staple pro-
duct will he from ten to twenty per cent
greater, according to locality, than was
promised at the time the original estimate
was prepared for the JoluudI. Up to
July but very small percentage of the
hay crop had been secured, and standing
grass in nearly every county was light
compared to the growth at the same period
lin previous years. The actual product at
.that time was from twenty to thirty per
scent less than Il full crop. During the
spast two weeks there has been marked
throughout the State
in the condition of meadows
.and grass lands. Copious rains
shave fallen, and the wet season has
speriOd has been a veritable "grOwing'
sseason, and grass on low lands, river
&meadows and newly seeded pieces has
athickened up at the bottom and grown at
Sthe top to an appreciable degree. Stand
king grass which has reached maturity and
sfieds which had been blighted by the
zdrouth have not been materially improved
&from ten days to fortnight later thar
Gusual At this date probably not more
ythan half of the crop has been secured
GThe growth of grass during the last two
Sweeks has doubtless added nearly
gonefOurth to the total product, anC
Awill bring the yield up to nearly
&that of the average crop for tn,
n last decade. The growth OF grass SO lat,
Sn the season is almost unprecedented
yand Will bring the crop OF the present sea
Mson up to nearly ,00O,OOO tons, an increas'
Eof some 100000 tons over the yield prom
Eised early i'll July. There is no doubt tina
{sif the hot, dry spell that prevailed for tn,
Nlast three weeks in June had continued
%through July the hay crop would haV,
Nbeen the llghtest for years, and the tOta
Eyield less by 100000 tons than is nov
sprOmised. The same causes that hav
Econtmbuted to improve the quantity o
Athe hay crop have also conduced to tn
Hgrowth of other crops. Corn, potatOe
Eand grain have started up finely ant
Xpromise good harvest. Pasture land
$have become green again, and the hill
%and valleys are verdure clad as in June.

THAT the General was in Il slightly better
condition than two hours ago. During
the evening the eXtremities of the sick
man have been cold and in the visible
are the signs that nature puts
out when death is chilling the powers.
The General as the night passes seems
suffering no pain though the lines of his
face are tensely drawn and the iurrOWs of
the brow are knitted rs he lies upon the
,cot beside which the family are constantly
watching.
At II o'clock the General was not
asleep. The hands and torearms were
colder than two hours before but the feet
mot so much so. The pulse and respira

3voice and promptly. Stimulants were be
Sing used, but sparinglv, and there was
expressed by the medical authority about
Ill o'clock belief that the closing crisis
6may occur either at l or o'clock in the

At midnight bottles of hot water were
9placed at the generals feet to induce
warmth, and mustard draughts were APP
splied upon the stomach and breast to pre-
Eserve the tagging circulation. DR.. Sands

Mt. MACGREGoR, July 23-At nine
o'clock last night General Grants ply
sicans conceded with some caution that
the patient might survive until July %.
His meaning was that the sick man might
be living when midnight should mark
new day. The physicians indication that
lit was not prognosticatiOn was borne
out and more. AS General Grant passed
at sunrise and through the early morn
ing hours he still survived. The advent
of July 90, however, marked change in
Gen. Grants condition, which was signi-
ficant The chill at the eXtremites was
increasing and the use of hot applications
to keep warm the extreme and vital parts
We're resorted to. They were of no avail,
for artificial warmth was without power
to reach the case or stay the results of the
dissolution which began Tuesday and had
been progressing steadily, Hyperdermics
of brandy were frequently given to stimu-
late the tagging physical powers, but
later this failed to affect the patient, whose
vitality and whose physical forces were sc
far spent as to furnish no footing for q
rebound. Indeed, the efforts of the medi
cal men were being made because they
could not stand by inactive and with
out trial of an eXpedient that might
prolong life an hour or minute
The physicians believed that the pa
tient might reach the extreme ebl
of his strength at one o'clock thi,
morning and the approach of that hou
was anticipated with intense anxiety IA
the cottage. 1t passed. however and tn
General lay upon his back propped up b,
two pillows upon the cot bed in the paror
He was yet living but growing weaker ant
inevitably the close of the Generals sick
ness seemed more imminent. Feeble pulls
beats had worn themselves by their rapdit
to tluttering throbs that could not b
gauged beneath the finger of the phys
clan. The body was being worn out b
its own life currents, so rapid was it
coursing through the veins. Repeated
brandy was entered beneath the skin {
the Generals arm, but despite its Unfit
ence the respirations had auickened fror
fortyfour minute during the evening t
point of labored breathing that wa
painful to the friends who groupe
and bent near the sick man. Tw
o'clock had been passed and evidence
of nearing death were multplyin,
