RANSOM.

There are three steam threshers at
work in this town, A. Klessig & Co.
Vim. Yauhn, aud the Johnson's. The
Johnson's have got a new separator
with wagon elevator and swinging
stacker. The yield Of grain is said to
be good, but we have no definite dg-
ures as yet.
Flax promises well this year. John
Lochmer has very fine piece on Sec
ton Is, and w. N. Dow has a field OF
it on section that is both large and
good. We hope Jack Frost will stay
away long enough to allow it all to
ripen.
August Klessig has hired Henry
Buttshaw, of Worthington. to run his
engine for him this fall. He started
up last Saturday.
We had supposed that the allah
sorbing topic of the time was the finan-
cial situation, but we find that in this
we were mistaken. The great ques-
ton Of the day seems to he, "who
shall have the chickens?"
The Bigelow merchants, John De
Boos and B. l. Trip, have sent out .
notice that after Sept. l., they will sell
for cash or produce only. The string
ency of the money market, they say,
compels them to do this. Few men
have been more accommodating in the
way OF giving credit to these who
needed it than have Messrs. DeBoos
and Trip, and we may be sure that if
the present stringency is hard on the
farmer, it is equally hard on the mer-
chant. We hope the better days will
s0On be here.

The steamboat Puritan OF the Fall River
line. fresh from the dry dock. left her wharf
at the foot OF Murray street yesterday after

gers. and 1t was generally understood that on
her run up the Sound to Fall River she would
pick up the twin-screw boat Richard Peck Of
the New Haven limo and settle the question
which Is the faster. The two boats had rnce

tho Fai. River people were not satisfied that
the Peck was really faster than their boat.
The Puritan passed the Peck's berth In tho
East River q little before the latter got under

met them as she came in. They were still in
the same relative positions-the Puritan in
