Jacob Sharp died at 9:20 o'clock
Thursday night. His death was the
result of complication of heart dis
ease, affection of the kidneys, bron-
chitis and worry over the legal troub-
les which hung over him. 1t was I'M
derstood that he was soon to be tried
second time on the charge of brib-
ing members of the Board of Alder
men of 1884 to grant him charter
for a street railroad in lower Broad
way. Sharp was indicted about two
years ago for bribery in securing the
passage of the Broadway Surface
Railroad bill through the New York
Board of Alderman. lie was Presi-
dent of the company which secured
the franchise. After long delays, and
after the trial and conviction of two
of the Aldermen who accepted bribes,
Sharp was put on trial. lie was con-
victed without much hesitation on
the part of the jury. Subsequently
this conviction was set aside and a
new trial ordered by the Court of
Appeals, because evidence given by
him before legislative investigating
committee had been admitted against
him in the trial. After this decision
he was released on bail, and his Sec
ond trial was about to commence
whom his death occurred.

these frauds executed that consider

Mrs, John A. Logan was voted a
pension of $1,000 per annum because
she is the widow Of a man who
fought on tho winning side in the
late war. There are other widows in
the land whose husbands not only
fought on that side, but died for it,
and they received but $l4i per an
mum because of their bereavement.
Nor is this all. Before Gen. Logan
was buried, $4,000 wasralsed for the
benefit of his widow and invested in
her name. while hundreds of thous-
ands of other widows are taxed upon
the food they cat aud the clothes they
wear to pay pension to a dead SEN

Field Mice in Wheat Stubble.

Last year we cut the clover and tim
othy which grew up through our wheat
stubble. diving the machines round the
field. leaving uncut a small triangular
piece in the middle. We had no object
in leaving any not cut-it just happened
50. The result was that the mice from
the whole field congregated upon the
triangle. spent the winter upon it, and
utterly destroyed the clover and tim
othy. root and branch. Not spear of
verdure was to be seen in the spring
upon the part uncut, while there was a
splendid stand of grass over that part
which had been moved.
The cut stubble was hauled to the
barn. part fed to the cows and part
used for bedding. If none of the field
had been cut over would the grass roots
have been injured by the field mice OF
if all bad been moved, would the mice
have been born in destructive numbers,
or would they have sought harbor
elsewhere ?
We shall leave none uncut this season.
believing if there be no convenient
harbor for the mice there will be few
present to work mischief, The hint
may be useful to our readers.
But cut early enough to allow a nice
growth Of grass before frosty weather,

The crop report issued by the secre'

Michigan this season averaged 5S and
25-l00ths pounds per measured bushel.
The area sown this fall was l,4G0, DOC
acres. and in the southern portion OF
the state the present condition is about
10 per cent. poorer than it was a year
ago. Corn was nearly a full average
crop. Clover seed was very light--per.
haps lighter than for many years. Pc.
tatoes were $40 of the average crop.
Horses, cattle and sheep are in poorer
condition for wintering than they were
a year ago, but hogs are in better con.
dition.

We clip the following from the Green
vile Democrat regarding Rev. Geo. F..
Hunting's address last week in that
city before the S. s. association " We
did not catch the name OF the lecture,
but should judge that The Book our
Mother loved, the dear old Bible
would be an appropriate one. The
words as they fell from the speakers
lips were simple, but expressive, and as
one sat and listened to him, the picture
of the dear old mother sitting near the
fire place in the old rocker, with glasses
on her nose, reading the dear old book,
could be seen distinctly. The speaker
also spoke of the pernicious literature
of the present day, which was being
sown widecast, and warned parents to
be on the lookout that none of it was
found in their children's hands or pos
session, for if it did the minds of their
children would be ruined. We cannot
do Justice to this grand address and
can only say that those who heard it
not. have missed feast, the like of
which is seldom set before an audience. "
