APPLB CROP SMALLER.
The apple crop of the United States
is smaller than it has been since relia-
abie statistics have been collected.
The total supply from the 1898 crop is
27,700,000 barrels, compared with
something over 40,000,000 in '97, and
70,000,000 in the record breaking crop
of 18911. The failure is widespread,
reaching from the Pacific coast to
Maine, and in none of the States does
the output of fruit approach an aver-
age. In the great apple States of the
west the crop is almost as absolute
failure, although the situation. in Mich-
igan is better than elsewhere, having
about two-thirds of the bumper crop of
1895. New York has only one-fifth of
a full crop. The failure is attributed
to the fact that during the blooming
season there was excessive rainfall,
which washed out the polled and pre
vented proper fertilization by insects,
while the cold wave added to the in-
jury, and subsequent moist humid
weather was very favorable to the de-
velopment of fungous diseases. The
Ontario crop is decidedly short. The
crop of Europe is reported below the
normal.

Signs of a Hard Winter.
The leaves hanging on to the trees
so long and looking so green and fresh,
in spite of wind and frost,” said a voter
au Orange County observer, " is all
very nice and cheery and comforting,
but it is simply one sign of trouble
ahead for those who don't like hard and
long winters. The sap is running back
to the ground slowly, and it will be just
as slow starting upward again next
spring. The trees look as if they had
just started iu for the summer season,
instead of .being on the threshold of
November. Next spring when they
should begin to show the promise of
June, they will still be reminiscent of
November. No doubt of it I never
knew the sign to fail. " Then as to
there being a hard winter impending.,
did you notice that the crickets and the
katydids began singing unusually
early this season and became silent
two weeks before they are in the habit
of doing so? Whether you noticed it
or not they dide and this is another in-
fallible sign that winter will come in
with a whoop when it comes, and will
be whooping yet when the johnny-
jump•up ought to he pushing their
heads above ground. And then the
chipmunks. I never saw them so busy
and never did they scurry home with
cheek pouches so swollen each trip
with nuts and acorns as they have this
fall. Those wise little providers know
what is ahead of them and they are
putting in an extra store of winter pro-
vender. " As to corn, the ears have a
thickness and number of husk cover-
ings something remarkable. Don't mis-
take that sign. Chesnut burrs are pos-
itively lined with something that might
well pass for fur, instead of the usual
velvety inner coat. Cranberries are
always sour, of course, but have you
noticed what they carry in their pulp
this year? Lime juice isn't one half
as sour. When the sour of cranberries
sours, then frost and storm all overpow-

fifty years ago, and the sour of cran-
berries has surely soured this year.

CLINGING TO THE ar.aSTS.
Shipwrecked Crew of the Irma Suffered
for 29 Hours.
Halifax, Oct. 25.—Tho Irma, laden
with salt, bound from Basso Terre to
Halifax, went ashore at three o'clock
Sunday morning during a heavy rain
storm and blow. The crew took to the
rigging, and were seen in that position
early yesterday morning.
All day Sunday and last night the surf
washed over the vessel. The waves broke
over her and both topmasts fell. It was
too rough to approach tho wreck until
nine o'clook yesterday morning, when a
lifeboat managed to got alongside. Tho
sea calmed down considerably, and with
the assistance of rapes the crew wore
safely taken from the wreck and brought
to tho city. They had boon exposed to the
sea and cold for twenty-nine hours, and
could not have survived the cold much
longer. Two of the crow had almost per-
ished.
Clinton: Clinton lost one of its very
earliest residents on Tuesday evening
by the death of Mrs, A. Davis, at the
age of 92 years. Deceased has en-
joyed fairly good health all her life,
and notwithstanding her unusual
age, had the use of all her faculties to
the very last. Born in. Borrow Parish,
Worcestershire, Eng., she was married
early in years to her late husband, and
about the year 1847 or 48 they emi-
grated to this country, coming by way
of the lakes from Cleveland to Gode-
rich on a fishing smack. After one
year's residence there they moved to
Clinton, where she has resided ever
since, thus being one of the oldest resi-
dents here. Fifteen years ago she was
left a widow, and for a considerable
length of time made her home with
ber, daughter, Mrs, Moffat, at whose
place she died.
