ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
A Cnse Parallel With Tint of Enoch Arden
iu Minnesota.


iu Minnesota.
MrSNEAPoLls, MINI, Oct. 10.-Min.
neapolis has furnished case that par.
allels the one OF Euoch Arden in almost
every detail. About twenty-five years
ago George Mckay wooed and won the
daughter OF q family that had emigrated
from the South at the close OF the war
and settled in Southern Indiana. Every.
thing apparently went well with the
young couple and two children were
born to them. In the course OF time
the family removed to Quincy. Here
fifteen years ago the husband disappear.
ed withoutgiving any REASONS and since
that time no word had been received
from him. 1t was finally reported that
be was dead and this conclusion was ac-
Cepted By his wife and relatives. After
waiting eight years and being convinced
that her husband was not in the land OF
the living Mrs. Mckay became Mrs.
William A. Gould and removed to this
city.
Everything since the second marriage
went smoothly and the memory OF the
hr5t husband was forgotten. About ten
days ago person appeared on the scene
OF their domestic life, creating not only
surprise but CONSERVATION among the
members Of the family. 1t was none
other than George Mckay, who, after a
separation OF Ia years, had returned to
claim his wife. He had nothing to say
for himself as 10 where he had been
but only asked his oue.time wife to
come and live with him. Mrs. Gould,
in view Of bis inexplicable conduct,
naturally Was unwilling to return to
him. The climax to this strange case
was reached last Sunday and matters
were settled without the aid OF tho law
and the settlement is final and irrevoc-
able. Mira. Mckay, or Gould, died. A
cancer had formed on her breast. Last
June it was removed. Tho scar never
healed, but finally caused her death last
Sunday. Mckay asked permission to
attend the funeral, which was granted.
Both husbands forgot their animosity
toward each other and mourned in
silence the woman who had been 'little
wife" 10 both.

Trouble,

Two Important Questions Settled Without
Trouble.
MrSSEAroLls, MIMI, Oct. 10.-The
American Board this morning listened
to the report OF the Committee Of Thir.
teen on Organization. This committee
has been at work for three years trying
to get at the opinion OF the Congrega.
tional church at large as to whether a
change in the form OF the Boards or.
ganizalions as to make it more demo.
cratic and representative was advisable.
The Board is close corporation under
the laws OF Massachusetts, and is self
perpetuating, as it appoints its own mem.
bers. The committee, while admitting
that its efforts to get at the church 3
sentiments were somewhat unsatisfac.
tory, recommended that no changes be
made. The report was adopted with but
two dissenting voices. This vote, 10.
gether with the adoption OF the report OF
the Committee OF Nine on Administra.
tion, disposes OF two OF the most ve1ing
questions in the Boards deliberations.
The probation has been avoided deftly
and common basis for both the radical
and conservative wings to stand on found,
Hereafter the candidate for a mission
will state in his own language bis religi.
GUS beliefs. II these are considered by
the prudential committee to be in con.
sonance with those OF the church, the
candidate is accepted. 1t will be seen
that this system is elastic and that the
Board may in its prudential committee
elected yearly, reflect its own views on
the probation question.
The afternoon business was suspended
and the Sacrament OF the Lords Supper
administered. AT 4 p. m. business was
resumed and number OF persons were
elected members Of the corporate body.
The old officers were then unanimous
ly reelected, with President r. S. Storrs
and Vice President Eliphael W. Blatch-
ford.
The next meeting will be held in the
First Congressional Church in Pitts6eld,
Mass, the date of the meeting to be fixed

TIE CROP REPORTS.
Tho October Estimates of Yield per Arr
for the Cercnls gtc

Tho October Estimates of Yield per Acre
for the Cereals, etc.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. l0.-The Oc-
tober estimates Of yield per acre for the
entire breadth OF cereal crops are: Win.
ter wheat 10 s bushels per acre; spring
wheat lis; the wheat crop Ill; oats
1875; barley 2l; rye lis bushels. The
condition Of corn is roc, instead OF 7O.1
last month; buckwheat 00.7, instead OF
9O5; potatoes GIL, instead Of G5.7; to-
bacco S5.4, instead OF S2.4.
The effect OF winter froBts upon wheat
is shown by the low rate OF yield to
have been severe. The figures would
have been lower but for the reduction
OF area by blowing and planting OF the
worst fields in other crops.
Some OF the higher rates in principal
States: New York, l5.2; Pennsylvania,
l2; Ohio, 1875; Michigan, l5.2; Illinois,
lis; Missouri. ll.2; Kansas, 1876; Cali.
fornia, -; Oregon, Is; Minnesota, l9.5.
The crop made very low yield
throughout the South, where the acre.
age is small. In the Ohio Valley, the
variation in yield in different counties,
as on farms in the same county, has al,
extraordinary range from five to twenty.
five bushels, and in extreme cases from
one to thirty bushels.

vile, Rea of Barnesville and Anderson
Of Wheeling.
The members all reported that their
schools had opened auspiciously and
that they and the teachers under them
are well rested and prepared to do active
work. Professor Sparks, OF Martins
Ferry, was missed, and his successor,
Professor ]. G. Mannix, was not on
hand. Prafessor Sparks always took n
live interest in the meetings and had
something to say which showed him to
be thoughtful and careful man.
The subject for discussion last night
was, "How to grade pupils" The re.
suit OF the discussion was: at ia the
sense Of this Round Table that the
judgment OF the honest teacher is the
greatest factor in deciding tho standing
Of pup,ls-that judgment to bo based
upon weekly estimates OF recitations
together with occasional tests. 1t is
further the sense of the Round Table
that every teacher should have many
qualifications in addition to those
evidenced by certificate, among which
arc the following: Enthusiasm, school.
room tidiness, common sense, ability to
inspire with love OF learning, faith in
education, general intelligence, love for
children, good physical condition fol
work, skill in cultivating good habits,
conscientious honesty in study and the
use Of good English"
Superintendent Anderson was selected
to preside at the next meeting to be held
November'l4, and the question for dis.
cussion will be: I'm selecting a teacher

his own observation on the spot he con

these orders would DO TO do grave In.

General Logan's conduct on that occa.
sion, in the light OF the revelation made
by General Butler, reflects credit upon
him, and likewise shows that Thomas
was misjudged by those who thought
him dilatory in preparing to engage
Hood. The story shows Logan to have

soldier the lustre OF a Just deed which |

Gen. Butler told Judge Cochran that
