Cashier Muasey of the Merchants Ma
tiOnal Bank GETS seven Years In the
House OF Correction. aud Cashier Far
rAr of Waterbury Goes There for Six
Years.
From the Rutland Herald OF THURSDAY
Charles W. Mussey pleaded guilty before
United States Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler, al
a special session of the United States cir
cult and district courts in this city Wednes-
day afternoon, to the indictment charging
him with embezzlement and misappropri-
alton of the funds of the Merchants
National bank and he was sentenced to
serve seven years in the house OF correc-
ton. John c. Farrar, the defaulting
cashier Of the Waterbury National bank
pleaded guilty to Abstracting $50, 900 from
the bank of which he was an officer and he
was sentenced by the court to serve six
years in the same place of confinement.
Mussey and Farrar were assigned cells in
the house of correction last evening and
will begin serving time today The United
States laws in such cases do not allow the
sentencing of man to hard labor. The
prisoners may by good behavior gain five
days on every month they serve. The at
tOrneys of both Mussey and Farrar pleaded
WIN eiAt NoAlb " III JOct Nllt minimum SEN
tence upon their clients. in view of eXtenu-
ating circumstances, and in Farrar's case
a petition for leniency was presented to
the court signed by Il prominent citizens
of Waterbury.
The case of Marvin A. Mcclure, who is
charged with aiding and abetting Mussey
in defrauding the Merchants bank, was
also brought before the court but on mo-
ton of o. NJ. Barber, attorney for the re-
spOndent, the case was continued to the
October term of the United States court,
and bail was fixed at $50, 900 which Me
Clure had not been able to obtain last
evening. In his plea for the fixing of bail
at a sum below S25, 900 Mr.. Barber made
the statement that there would be no con-
tention by the respondent that he did not
receive substantially all of the $4,000
taken from the bank, but that he had lost
the greater portion of it in his piano bust
ness.
United States Attorney Martin did not
dispute the contention set up in behalf of
Mussey and Farrar but cOntented himself
with brief statement to the court regard
ing the crimes to which they had pleaded
guilty.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The crop season of 1900 opens much
earlier than usual, being at least three
weeks in advance of an average year.
The past winter was remarkably mild
and unusually dry, the snowfall being
the lightest in many years.
From a number of reports which
have been received from all sections of
the State, it appears that there is but
very little snow in the mountains to
supply water for irrigation during the
summer, and fears are entertained in
firming districts that the crops and
ranges will suffer for want of moisture.
Summer showers may help some, but
they will have to be frequent and
copious to do much good.

After Robert departed | looked for
the newspaper containing the notice,
but could not find it. He had had sew
eral in his hand, but the special copy
he had taken with him. do not know
what prompted me to write a note of
congratulation to Gus and dispatch it
by my brother Ned, a lad of IL. men,
toned having seen the notice in the
paper, and said | was sorry he had not
confided in me.
1t was after 10 O'Clock, and l retired
to my room. Half an hour later l
heard Ned coming upstairs. He stop
ped at my door.
"Did you see Gus?'' l asked from
within.
Eyes. He's downstairs. He came
back with me-"
''What does he want?'
s'He wants to see you, guess"
"What for?p
.He didn't say. Probably wants to
borrow your overshoes. Better go
down and ask him.
| went down. He didn't want to
borrow anything. On the contrary, he
wanted me to give him something to
keep-my hand, my heart. He said the
notice of his being married was con-
founded fraud-that Roberts must have
had it inserted in few copies of the
paper by special agreement-it could
be done if one was willing to pay for it.
He was in quite an excited frame of
mind, and | hardly knew my usual
placid Gus.
"Of course, when you were engaged
to Robert, it was not for me to make e
any attempt to win you. l thought
you knew your own mind, and had de-
cided that was not the sort of fellow
you cared to marry. But this trick
gives me right to speak. Am / too

Naturally, told him he was. That
if he had cared for me in that way he
ought to have come forward long be-
fore. Now that my word was plighted
to Robert, and | could not think of
breaking it, though he had acted in a
most despicable manner, in manner
to make me ashamed to think he was
my plighted lover-and so on.
To which Gus replied;
''All right, little girl. If you think
SO, l had better go and give him the
worst licking he ever had in his life,
even though they do send me to Jail
for it. But you won't care.n

''Then we'd better get married at

About the Sheep.

The sheep business is offering many
attractions to the average farmer at
the present time. It is well to remem-
Der that 10 Kind of live stock is sub
iect to such violent and frequent fluc-
tuations in value 9s the sheep and
that it is invariably the wrong time to
go into the sheep business when wool
and mutton are high The sheep re-
quires a special training and fitness in
the man who would make it profitable.
Ten men can handle cattle, hogs and
horses with profit where one man can
sheep. We think that the time has
come, however, when the sheep can
be looked upon more with reference to
it as a maker of meat than as a grower
of wool, taking place side by side
with the hog and the steer as ma
chine to convert the cereal and forage
products of the farm into meat as a
finished product. The demand for
mutton as food is constantly on the in
crease, and it is well settled fact that
pound of mutton can be produced
as cheaply as a pound of either beef
or pork. So, if starting in the sheep
business, do not lose sight of this fact
and select your sheep more with refer
ence to their work as meatmakers
rather than as wool growers. The av-
erage quarter section farm should car
ry from year to year, no matter wheth-
er wool brings 10 or 20 cents, a flock
of about IS ewes, and they will be
found to be among the best money
makers on the farm if properly cared
for. -Erchanqe.

to put her ''ivories" back in their
