Concerning Weather.

When the atmospheric forces and all that sort
OF thing
Bring the cold and cutting winter season
here,
And the iridescent snowfakes OF which the
poets sing
Chase themselves, In chilly frolic, through
the air;
When the winds are penetrating, and the frost
is on the ground
And pedestrian locomotion's rather slow;
When the cars are half an hour late whenever
homeward bound
Because the horses can't get through the
snow;
Then the voice of man arises, and he tells q
funny tale
AS to how he loves the gentle summer days,
When the flowers nod and whisper In the lovely
hawthorn dale,
And he basks beneath the smiling suns bright
rays.
But when the whirligig OF time brings gentle
summer" on,
And he willis and me!ts beneath the scorching
disk,
The inconsisten: mortal sings another kind OF
song
AS to how he loves the winter cold and
brisk.

KALAMAZOO, March. 23.-Stonewall
j. DE France was found guilty of
passing Si2. 500 forged draft on the
First national bank of Kalamazoo on
November 20, 1891. after trial lasting
fifteen days. The case has been the
most interesting tried here in many
years. The courtroom was packed at
each session and many of the develop
ments have been of the highest sensa-
tional character. Thirteen witnesses
positively identified De France as Louis
| Forrest, who passed the draft. The de-
! Tense showed by Rev. DIR. Henderson, of
| Chicago, and witnesses from Detroit
| that De France was in Detroit when
! the crime was committed. The three
Calvin brothers swore that n con-
| tract was made between them and De
| France to borrow money of him and
that they received the same in Detroit on
the day he is charged with being here.
| Con w. Britt, an attorney for the de-
PENDANT, was arrested and brought here
in irons, placed on the stand and swore
! that he wrote the contract and signed
| De Frances name To it by a power of
attorney last January. A telegram from

duced to corroborate the evidence of
Britt and prove that the defense had
! been manufactured since the arrest of
the respondent This was denied by
the respondent and wife Within a
week after the forgery De France had
false teeth placed III his mouth in place
of teeth that had wide spaces between
them. Dr. Land, Detroit dentist, did
the work and he swore that the wife of
the defendant attempted to bride him
not TO come here and testify.

has been here during the trial awaiting
the result He says that he knows
that De France is the man who
bunkoed Banker Jacob Newman.

PEACH CROP is RUINED.
Buds Frozen In the Southwestern Michi-

blizzard which struck this section
Saturday has done great damage to
fruit trees. 1t is thought the peac h
buds are frozen throughout this vast
peach belt, thereby lessening Michigan's
peach output very much and de-
stroying thousands of bushels of
peaches, which means thousands of
dollars to the fruit growers. The
blackberry, cherry and strawberry
crops are also destroyed, d:scouraging
growers in general. This cold wave is
the worst calamity the Michigan fruit
belt has suffered since peaches were
killed with that aggravating disease,
the yellows, some years ago.
