QUEENS COUNTY

Throughout the length and breadth of
Queens County, there is general un-
animity of opinion that since the FAM
inc years Of '46 and At, the prospect
for the agricultural community was
never as bad as it is at present. The
crop that has suffered most Is the po-
tato, of which there will be practically
no crop, and it is generally believed
that before the new year dawns there
will be no potatoes fit to eat. The
oats also are in a very bad condition.
large quantity had been cut and are
on the fields, some on the fiat and some
in stocks, but all black and rotten,
with the grain bursting into growth.
The barley crop is also leveled and is
generally so tangled that it will be diff
fcult to cut it, even If the weather
should take up Immediately.

that Leary went out on the lands. on

turn; but his sister and brother did
not feel any uneasiness. fancying he
had gone to a neighbours house for the
night. Not returning next day, a
search was made. and his body was
found lying across Il small stream at

bull was kept by the deceased. He was
quite dead, and, from the appearance OF
the place, 1t would seem as If he had
been attacked by the bull and rolled
or butted considerable distance be-
fore finally flung down a declivity some
ten feet where the body was found.
There were three ribs broken. The

eating different neghbors one man at
tempted suicide on his wife's grave be-
cause he was suspected, and a woman,
after brooding over The horror. took
morphine with suicidal intent. Mrs.
Charles Spellman. a relative Of the De-
