While the loss is heavy in some localities, tho percentage of damage for the slate is small. The general condi tions have been favorable for the rapid advancement of corn toward maturity. In answer to a circular of inquiry as to the probable time when the corn crop will be safe from harm by frost, various opinions have been given by crop reporters.

Death of Newton Green. Newton Green was born in llipley county. Indiana, March 5, 1835, and came to Ilazel Green township, this county, in 1840, where he has since resided. Mr. Green has been in quite poor health the past fifteen years, and several years ago he was compelled to quit his occupation of farming and moved to Hazel Green. On Wednes day last the Hazel Green creamery caught fire, and being quite near his home he did much in fighting the flames and undoubtedly over-exert ed himself. On Thursday he went out to his farm, and on coming home he complained of a pain in his che6t and told his wife he would lie down awhile. Shortly after Mrs. Green spoke to him, and receiving no re sponse went to him and found him unconscious, his death occurring few moments later. His death was due to cerebral apoplexy. The funeral took place Sunday at Buck Creek church, the ssrvice be ing conducted by Rev. Culver, of ltyan, assisted by Rev. Mcintosh, of Delhi, and tho congregation was one of the largest ever assembled in the county on a similar occasion, thuB showing the high esteem in which the deceased was held by all who knew him. Mr. Green was the Commander of of J. M. Holbrook Post, G. A. R., of Delhi. He served through the civil war in Co. K, 2lst Iowa Infantry, and was known as a thorough patriot and good soldier. He was an ear nest christian, and had done much in Sunday school and church work in this county. The G. A. R. burial Bervice was rendered by Holbrook Post, and vot- Free Mail Delivery For Manchester. The first good result of the estab lishment of Mr. Merry's office in this city was the removal of tho most unsightly building on Frank lin street to make room for tho Captain's beautiful ollice building now in process of construction. Tho second good result will prob ably give Manchester a free mail delivery with a substantial iucreas-e in the salary of our post-master. The Illinois Central, like most great corporations, buys all of its postage at one place and distributes it the same as other ollice supplies. It is probably au advantage for the corporation to transact its busi ness in that way, and under ordi nary circumstances tho practice works no great hardship, llut Mr. Merry's ollice is quite out of tho ordinary so far as the use of postage is concerned. Some days he sends the post ollice is many as six bushel baskets full of mail matter, and his postage bill for the year will run up into the thousands. It would be decidedly unjust to require the Manchester post office to handle all of this mail without getting any credit for so doing, and Captain Merry appealed to the company to make his office an exception to the rule, and his request has been grant ed. This means a good deal, not alone for Postmaster Summersides but for all the people of Manchester. It will probably result in a free ail delivery for this place in tho near future. Board Proceedings.
