The President’s Health.
While there should be no importinent
scrutiny into the private affairs of our
public men, yet the Conditions sur-
rounding the Chief Magistrate of this
great nation are so grave, that anything
affecting his health must necessarily
excite unusual solicitude throughout
the country. It is now conceded that
an important surgical operation was‘
performed some weeks ago, while the
President was on Mr. Benedict’s yacht,
on the roof of his mouth. It is report-
ed tO have been in all respects success-
ful, and that Mr. Cleveland has re-
turned to Washington in his usual
‘ good health. He will receive the sin-
cere sympathy of the whole American
peoplefiirrespective of partisan affilia-
tions, in his trials, and an honest hope
that. he may experience no return of
the serious malady which threatened
to undermine his rugged constitution.

Hard for Farmers.
The agriculturists all over the coun-
try have experienced an unusually hard
year. North and South floods and
droughts succeeded each other with
devastating effects in the early spring
and summer, and during the past fort-
night two West India cyclones have
Swept Over a wide belt oi the United
States, laying waste cotton, corn, to-
bacco and other crops to a terrible ex-
tent. Throughout the Central and
New England States the prospect of
abundant fruit yields has been dis-
sipated by the same destructive storms.
Throughout Connecticut our newly
revived peach-growing industry has
received a serious check. Peach trees
in great numbers have been torn to
shreds, uprooted or stripped of their
fruits. Apple orchards have also suf-
fered greatly. In the eastern part of
the State, thousands of.bushels of fall
and winter apples have been torn from
the trees, and the poor farmers have
not only lost heavily in ruined fruit,
but in many cases been put to the ad-
ditional expense of having them picked
up and removed from their fields so
their cattle may not be injured by eat-
ing them.
' In many localities the ,thrifty cider-
brandy distillers have purchased these
unripe apples in great quantities, and
are working them up into that fiery
liquid. At other places the farmers
have utilized them by converting these
unmatured apples into vinegar. But,
as a whole, the loss on crops and fruits
is something almost unprecedented.
The most appalling results of the cy-
clones, however, are in the terrible
devastation of homes, and the more
sad and sickening destruction of hun-
dreds of human lives in the sunny south
land. Surely, this year Of grace, 1893,
will pass into history as one fraught
with unprecedented climatic calamities.

Another Warning for Finch.
The Standard, in its editorial notes,
thus sounds pathetic notes of warning
to such sharp farmers as the Finch
Brothers, and all others who are silly
enough to withdraw their money from
the banks and hide it in their houses,
for fear the bank may prove unsafe.
It says:
Private banking may be attended with
drawbacks, unless the banker is a man
of some experience in the business.
One J. N. Bolles, a farmer of Pulaski,
Tenn, made an essay recently in the
banking business, which resulted un-
fortunately. He, in common with many
of his fellow men, lacked confidence in
the ability of the banks in his section-
to properly care for the money of their
customers, and he believed in his own
ability to improve upon their methods,
and to give them “pornts”in the science
Of the safe and conservative handling
of funds. To show that he was not a
~mere theorist, he lately withdrew from
a local bank $1,000, and set up a private
bank of his own. His safe deposit
vault was “under the edge of the car-
pet,” and it might have proved secure,
had not circumstances conspired
against him.Three masked men,whether
depositors or not, does not appear,
made “a run” on Farmer Bolle’s bank,
on Wednesda night last, and the bank
collapsed. T are appears to have been
an indisposition on the part .Of Farmer
Banker Bolles to honor the Sight drafts,
made doubtless over the sights of a re-
volver, which these gentlemen preseht-
ed, but having bound and gagged him
and his wife, not probably on_ account
of any want of faith in his ability as a
banker, but to check any sudden or un-
timely tendencies Canadaward on his
part, the masked men aforesaid pulled
his toe nails with pincers, till he was
forced _to indicate the hiding place of
his capital and surplus, and the whole
business went down in the resultant
ruin.
Probably Farmer Bolles still thinks
he can take better care of money than
the bank from which he drew his $1,000,
and attributes his loss to the “grasping
policy of the gold-bugs Of the East 1”
