NEW YORK FARMERS sWINDLED BY
THE WHOLESALE BY AN OLD GAME.
JAS. 0. BOVINE,

Finance Committee.

MtDDLETowN, N. X, March 23.-The
Bohemian OATS game has been worked
extensively through New York. About
two years ago agents Of a Michigan COM
pany travelled among the farmers, osten-
sibly to introduce new variety of oats,
said to be much superior in quality aud
prodnctiveness to any of the cid kinds.
II was claimed that the Michigan concern
controlled the whole of tho small avail
able stock Of seed of this extraordinary
product, which it was selling to farmers
at the rate Of $15 bushel, with an ac-
campaigning guarantee that would secure
the buyer against any possibility of loss
Say the farmer took ten bushels, costing
$3.50, he could give his note for the
amount, payable on the LIST of September
next following, after he had gathered a
crop. In making tho sale, and as guar
antee OF good faith, the company's agent
would give the farmer a bond to pay him
for bis first crop at the rate Of SIS a
bushel for the first ten bushels and So for
every additional bushel. The company
was represented to have 100000 cash
capital and to be financially sound. Hun
dreds of farmers Ia the central and west
ern parts of the State invested in the oats.
The agents of the company FASTENED to
have discounted the farmers notes, and
that generally ended 1t so far as the CON-
pany was concerned. The farmers admit
that the company did pay as agreed In q
few instances for the first crop raised,
but allege that such action was Intended
to inspire confidence and extend sales.
La most cases the farmers notes passed
into the hands of third parties Ia their
own neighborhoods, and the efforts of the
holders to collect them has led to litiga-
ton. AS a rule the courts have held that
the makers must pay, but ia one suit Just
decided by the Ontario county Circuit
Court the plaintiff was nonsuited, the
court deciding. that the note was obtained
by fraudulent devices, of which the plain
tiff had cause to be aware when he dis
ounted it. 1t is understood that the plain
tiff in this case holds over So, 900 in notes
ofthis description given by Orleans coun-
ty farmers, which he must lose IL the
Michigan company is irresponsible.
The game originated in the West,
where it was extensively worked few
years ago, especially in Iowa.

The Newark advertiser says that
the big four companies who monopolize
the beef business in this country, by
which they are making fortunes every
year, are shipping their best meat to
England and giving their worst to the
home trade. OF the business the "Ad-
vertiser' says:
There is not even the merit Of cheap
ness to reccomend the tough and leath-
cry material that is dispensed to us from
the Chicago slaughter houses. The
"Big Four takes unto itself large pro-
fits. At least this would appear to be
the case il the figures given in the trade
journals as to the cost of putting range

An English Borgia.

The first detailed record of female pris-
oner in England is furnished in the case OF
Amy Hutchinson, native of the Isle OF
Ely. She seems To have married man
about whom she cared nothing, for no
other than the feminine reason that she
wished 10 spite her sweetheart. Repent
ance came, not ST leisure, but Immediately.
Her favorite happening TO return from Lon
don jast as the newly-wedded pair were
coming out of church. the bride was greatly
affected at the recollection of former scenes
and the irrevocable ceremony which had
now passed.
Soon Hutchinson became jealous of his
wife, quarrel ensued, and he beat her
with much severity. She bought a guam
tity of arsenic. which she administered in
his ale, and meeting her lover, acquainted
him with what had passed. He advised
her TO buy more poison. fearing that the
first might not be sufficient, but Hutchin-
son died the same day. The young widow,
who was described as tall fine GIRL
was burnt for petit treason" at Ely. on
November !, 1850. Another female prisoner,
Ann Williams, was burnt three years later.
This barbarous punishment was repealed
by an act passed in the thirtieth year OF
George Ill.

wisk the conference held within locked
doors? What design had this Dallas
freight committee on the railroads that
all the people might not know? Was
this Dallas freight committee running
with the hare or playing with the hounds?
Did the Dallas freight committee
seek to use the public men and
people of Texas as bludgeon
with which to coerce the roads into
continuance of some rebates and special
rates estopped by the interstate COM
mission, in opposition to which the Dali
las organ of the roads aud the Dallas
freight committee are, strangely enough,
united.
The railroads were not bulldozed, and
the people will not be deluded.
The Dallas convention was the
conception of Dallas selfshness; its
purpose was the advancement of Dallas
interests; its action was the inspiration
of Dallas cunning, and its failure is the
defeat of Dallas design to use the state
in sinister behalf.

to be generally recognized as an UNI
swe gying advocate of the roads in all con-
troversies with the people, is moved to
commend the judges view, saying:
Meanwhile it is encouraging to notice the en-
phatic demand made by railroad representatives
upon the freight committee at Dallas for the
broadcast public discussion of all the material
features of the freight problem. This indicates
that the thoughts of railroad men are already be-
ginning to look towards free, full and trustful
communion with the people as the surest way to
secure substantial guarantees of justice and
safety for interests which, if of vast concern to
railroad investors. are of vaster concern to the
people.
1t is pleasing to THE GAZETTE to note
even the tardy recognition of the value
of its suggestions by the roads and their
advocates. If the roads would at all
times hearken unto the counsels of THE
GAZETTE, which speaks for all the peo-
pie, they would escape many ills which
beset the path of those who would segre-
gate themselves from the body polite

suggestion, unbought and unpurchasa-
