JEALOUSY AND WHIsKEY
Make John Buck an Attempted Murderer
Shoots Three Bullets Into His
Divorced Wife.


Divorced Wife.
Insane jealousy and poor whiskey nearly
caused murder in Bennington township
Saturday. John Buck, whose reputation
has never been good, whose love OF liquor
is most inordnate and whose temper IS
about as rabd as possible, is lying In the
Corunna jail charged with assault with in
tent to kill. He has for several years made
his wfe's life miserable by his drunken
orgies, Quarrels and jealousy, so much so
that she finally commenced suit for divorce,
but withdrew it, later commencing another
suit which was settled out of court. she
taking twenty acres of land and house and
Buck taking the remaining twenty, upon
which he built house.
He has spent much time with his brother
north of OwOsso and returned Saturday,
stopping in Owosso where he filed up with
liquor and meeting his wife determined to
go home with her. He did follow her, and
was ordered out of the house but instead OF

Buck three times, each shot taking effect
but not dangerously wOunding her. He
also tired at his 14.years-old son, but failed
to hit him. She ran into the road but was
overtaken and roughly handled. Promising
to stay with him they returned to the house.
where she slipped away, going to a neigh
boris. He locked the house aud went to
bed, but was later arrested by Deputy Sher-
iff Little as he lay In drunken stupor, hav-
ing armed himself with rifle and shot guns.
His examination occurs today, being held
In S5, 900 bail til the examination.
DIR. Shickle dressed Mrs, Bucks wounds,
which were bullet In the riyht should er,
one in the breast and one in the left hand t,
none of them dangerous, but she had suf-
fered from loss of blood. She is woman
about 35 years old and fine looking wo-
man, while Buck is about SO and decided
ly unpopular and unpleasant fellow. Last
year he had his wife and Oscar LeClear, a
we'll to do farmer of Fairfield township, ar
rested, charged with adultery, but the case
was dropped and later he commenced suit
for $5, 200 damages against LeClear for
alternating his wife's affections.
Watson q Chapman have been employe,i
to defend Buck and 1t is said will attempt
to prove the man insane. He would un-
doubtedly be better off behind the bars and
there is little doubt that he will be convict
ed and given long sentence. His attor-
neys will make strong fight for him and
firmly believe that there are mitigating cir
cumstances in his favor that will count
largely with jury

OBITUARY..

The subject of this sketch was norm IN Adj
olson July IL, lSlI, and was the last surviving
son OF Levi and Chloe Squires Hanks. He
was born, reared, lived ana died on the same
farm, II being part OF the one owned by his
father for many years He was one Of
large family OF children. On Feb. IL, $50,
he was united in marriage with Miss Martha
A., eldest daughter Of Nelson and Huldah
Everest Murray, who survives him. Seven
children were born TO them-Mrs. III. +. Tay-
lor OF Cornwall Carleton Miles Mrs. NJ D.
Smith OF Middlebury, Byron Murray, Mrs. +.
f. Townsend of Richville,M F. ii. Eldredge
OF Bridport and Mrs +. F. Gulley OF Addison.
All were present at the funeral which was
held at his home Jan. >, Guy c. Lamson con
Quoting the exercises. Rev Mr.. Gull offered
prayer. He suffered from severe attack OF
pneumonia, and with advanced age and
weak lungs he was unable TO throw OF the
disease, and after days OF extreme suffering
he passed peacefully from this lite which he
had so long enjoy ed to the life eternal mt the
dawn of the sabbath preceding his burial
The day OF his burial was very unpleasant,
yet all his neighbors and many from farther
away were there to pay their last tribute OF
respect TO one they had so long known and
honOred. Mr.. Lamson noted in his remarks
the family record hanging on the wall, Il long
list of names on the side of births, the same
names in the marriage list, but on the death
list "A blank, pure white, unmarked, and for
nearly 81 years; and then, rs the other lists
commenced, this viii be, with the name OF
the head OF the family. II is an unusual
record. surely God has been good, and may
every heart give him grateful praise. Mr..
Hanks was quiet reticent man, a great
reader, taking many papers ana keeping well
informed on all the current affairs OF the day.
A staunch republican, he was glad to once
more cast his vote on the winning side. A
good neighbour friend to the poor and help
tul IN tunes OF sickness, loving his whole
family with quiet, but deep feeling, he filled
his allotted place in lite, ana when his time
came TO lea re all he loved here he bore his
pain with patience and at the last closed his
eyes and folded his hands rs though he knew
his time to go had come and he was willing
and his work was done, as was the words OF
the text of the excellent remarks made, at
is better tor me to die than to live" As this
unbrOken circle gathered Tor the last time,
each felt they knew real sorrow, and as they
looked their last on the face that had so often
lighted mt their coming they knew that the
memory OF that dear husband and father
would be one to remain in their hearts for
ever. X.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.


From Wednesdays Boston journal
The demand for butter has not increased
materially since last week, but there Is Il
stesdier tone on choice fresh grades, and n
more confident feeling that the held stock
will be worked off without much decline in
prices, The situation certainly Is as salts
fatory as last week. There was no DISPOSE
tiOn Yesterday to respond to the slight adj
vance in the West, and sellers were sdusned
to H. eet buyers on the same basis as last
week. For most OF the Vermont and New
Hampshire fresh creamery offered, Il cents
was a top rate, and to bring this figure the
quality had to be free from frosty de-
tt cts. Fresh ladies and limitations ranged
from L. to - cents, and lots good enough to
command the outside price are not plentiful.
4 few fresh dairy lots are coming ill., but the
quality varies so much that 1t is difficult to
give fair quotation. Very choice run up
to Is cents, out others range from II to 10
cents. few lots OF choice Northern June
creamery have been sold at Is cents, but Tor
most of the stock II to l. cents is the range.
Exporters are not willing to go above l6
cents, because they say the quality is not
what they want. Ladies have been taken at
from to Is cents.
Although there is not much demand tor
cheese, the market has gained more strength
under the rising tendency in Liverpool and
New \ DIRK, and holders are inc itferent about
selling best fall make under IL to IA cents,
while som asked II cents tor fancy ~ ms
Western eggs weakened on NJ nday and
sold at 10 cents. Yesterday the market was
firmer, with sales At 10, cents and some held
at IL cents The price Is now almost wholly
under the influence OF the weather, and sud
den fluctuations may be expected. Fresh
Eastern sold ut 49, TO Ii cents, and fancy
new laid ut about 20 cents. The stock in cold
storage on saturday was 1896 cases, against
1000 cases same time last year.
The bean market Is slightly steadier, but
no change in prices.
No change in potatoes or onions. All kinds
OF vegetables were dull yesterday, owing to

SHEEP AND WOOL.

It has been frequently stated that
mutton is the prime object in breeding
sheep and that the breed which will
produce the best mutton or the great
est amount of it in required time on
given amount of food, of kind COM
monty grown by the farmer, is the
profitable sheep. While this is true,
it does not mean that the wool from
their backs is to be thrown away by
"a, OOO, 900 head of sheep of all kinds,
and there are many kinds and grades
included in this number. There are
good shearers and there are poor ones;
there are sheep that would not make
the best mutton and there are others
which would make mutton fit for a
kings table, or any ones table for
that matter. To supply enough wool
for the wants of the people in this
country would require 120, 100000 head
of good sheep, the clips OF which
would average with those we now
have. Hence, it will be seen that we
need 86,00O,000, or nearly three times
as many as we now nave, to supply
this country with it's wants in wool.
The average number of sheep kept on
one acre is probably not far from
four and one-half head. On this
basis the 86,OOO,OOO head would require
5000, 900 acres of the land now Oc-
cupied by other kinds of stock and
crops. This would probably decrease
the acreage of some kinds of farm
crops that are now laboring under
very low prices. The wool market
would not be over-supplied if we
were confined to our own market, ex-
cept in certain grades of wool. 1t is
believed that we would be much bet
ter off with that number of sheep
than with the number we now have.
These items are taken from the census
and are merely thrown in that the
reader may do a little calculating.

STORING ICE OUTDOORS.

Some years ago it occurred to me
to stack little ice out of doors to
save the trouble of taking it from the
ice house. The stack was made on the
north side of a building. In the ex-
pectation that warm weather would
quickly melt it, but little was put
up. 1t kept surprisingly, and there
after large quantities were stacked
yearly, until for several years past the
out-of-doors stack has furnished ice
for creamery and household until
about September L. writes a cor
respondent in the Connecticut Farmer.
There being a scarcity Of ice this
! year, had to use an inferior quality
four to five inches thick. The stack
was about 80 feet square and four
feet high. 1t has furnished ice to
cool 800 quarts of milk per day, in
creamery, besides refrigerator in
house. My method is to spread a few
inches of shavings on the ground fol
the ice to rest on, stack the ice and
cover with shavings to- depth OF
about a foot. l have found a low stack
best, as there seems to be compare
lively little melted from top to bot
| tom; but if an opening through the
side covering let's the air in it will
cut away very fast, and the higher
| the stack is the more difficulty in
| keeping the sides covered. [ have useC
| the same shavings year after year
l doubt whether it is important to
| have the stack in the shade; the shaw
ings getting moisture from rain and
from ice, evaporation keeps down the
temperature"
