death of Simon Hirschman.

After an illness of several months duration
Simon Hirschman, well known resident Of
this city, died early Sunday morning last at
the home of Mrs. H. Greenbaum, 10 West
Fayette street. Mr. Hirschman was 65 years
of age, and for long period was prominent in
the business circles of Philadelphia and Balti-
more.
For the past Is years he had retired from &C

his residence between Charles Town, w. Va,
and this city. He was extremely popular for
his benevolent and joyial disposition, being
endowed with a spirit of good-natured humor
which was highly appreciated by his large cir

which, despite every effort made to ar
rest the same, eliminated with sad results

Mr. Hirschman was born in Bavaria, and
came to this country at the age of 10 years
Being aggressive, as well as enterprising he
soon established himself successfully in bust
ness, which he continued under suspicious
conditions in Philadelphia until Is years ago.
About this time he experienced a sad blow in
the death of his helpmeet, and after that spent
the greater portion of his leisure time with his
daughter, Mrs. S. Schloss, of Charles Town,
W. Va. He came to Baltimore several weeks
ago for medical treatment, and while here was
surrounded with every comfort and atten-
ton.

Mr.. John T. Colston is engaged in thresh-
ing his large and very heavy crop of wheat.
He has finished threshing the Ransom tract,
making thirty bushels to the acre, about
three-fOurths of crop. His acreage is a
hundred and sixty acres.-Adroeate.
Thirty bushels per acre three, fourths of
a crop? Well, we reckon Col. Colston will
accept that-hes not unreasonable. 1t re-
minds us of an incident; Congressman Ed
munds, of Virginia, went to see Mr.. Cleve-

generalship for Col. Otey. The President
informed him that he only had one such
place. "Wen," said Mr. Edmunds, "Col.
