Home Guard and ether troops did nobly
in this sad emergency. The Home

OUR MICHIGAN LETTER.
To hte Editor of The Neacs:

To he Editor of The Neus:
 There is nothing especially interesting to write about in this part of the country but to make sure that we be not for gotten will send few items To be- gin, will say that our fruit trees, apples, pears and cherries were in bloom on Easter day, which is quite early for fruit blossoms, and the bloom was profuse, We never had 8 better promise for an abundant crop of fruit of every kind. Strawberries are just coming into mar ket but are yet little expensive, costing fifteen cents quart, in few day prices will be moderated as the yield will be enormous. Wheat is looking we'll and if no calamity occurs between now and harvest, this part of the great west will contribute its full share of bread stuff.
 Corn planting is finished and the plant is beginning to peep through the ground; the weather is favorable, aul all looks bright for the farmer. We aro thankful that floods, cyclones and tor nadoes have not come nigh us, and strikes are not known, or feared in an agricultural community. Our farmers only complain of low prices. Wheat brings eighty three cents per bushel; corn, forty cents; oats, thirty cents; potatoes, twenty-five cents; butter, thirteen cents per pound; eggs, ten cents per dozen. From these prices you will learn that the cost of living is not very high, nor should it be, for it is all raised here and with as little trouble labour and expense as anywhere.
 This effusion may not be of interest to New England readers, but they must consider that western people will talk and write about things which concern them, and which they see around them. We are an agricultural people. Rw,L-

CORN WALL,

Our people were deeply pained but not surprised to hear of the death of George Fully, who died on Tuesday of last week. He had been sick for a long time with disease which baffled the skill of the best physicians in this section. He was a young man of whom everyone spoke well; very diligent student and a favorite among his school mates. The funeral services were held in the Congregational church, and at tended by 8 large number. Prof Frost, of whom he was a pupil, preached a very able sermon. Six of his school mates, wearing appropriate badges acted as pall-bsarers.
 One would think from the talk that the destinies of the entire country de- pended upon the result of a game of base ball which was to have been played in this place last Saturday, between the H. V. I. club of this place and the Gunnery nine of Washington, but cw- ing to the rain the Gunnery's failed to appear. It is now thought that the game will be played today (Monday). Capt Woodruff has put his nine under severe training and has not allowed them to eat anything to produce super fuous flesh, but to gain lots of muscle
 Some of the nine have shrunk in weight nearly a quarter of pound in the last two weeks. How long this strain or their constitutions will last we do no
 know, but hope the long agony vii soon be over and base ball talk vii
 cease for while at least.
