Rouse's Point to Montreal, covered with tb;s-
ties which the French Canadians cut for hay.
We have also seen them at work cutting this
noxious weed and raking it into cocks which
stood quite thick in the fields. We suppose
they would prefer another kind OF hay crop,
out thisties were masters of the situation and
hothihS else could be raised.
Now bow shall these troublesome weeds be
exterminated9 This is an important question

them down just before they 90 to seed. If
the moving them is followed BY frequent
rains the process will be successful, for the
rain enters the open stems, says wriler in
the Country Gentleman, permeates far into
the roots and the thistles succumb. But If
the rains do not seasonably come, the sun
will heal up the orifces and the weeds will
preserve their vitality. One says pillow early
harrow frequently so as to keep the surface
raw, and sow with buckwheat; and anoth-
er recommends thorough summer following
These remedies will do very well in very
dry season, but in a wet season they will
make the thistle grow more luxuriantly.
The truth is, there is no remedy yet discov-
cred for this wide spread evil. We are not
so much troubled with the pest in this Sec
tion of the country as they are in other local
tiles, and yet hereabouts there is quite
enough of them, and If any one knows of
reliable process that will kill thistles in a
reasonable space of time and at moderate
expense, he will confer great favor on the
public by letting it be known.

An Extraordinary Instance of Marrow
mindedness.
A gentleman who has been attending the
commencement at Bates College, and whose
statements may be received with confidence,
writes to us from Lewiston of one of the most
humiliating aud exasperating instances of
prejudice, bigotry and ignorance that ever
came 10 our knowledge. He says:
Since 1858 all the ladies have left the regu-
lar college course with one exception, Miss
Mary w. Mitchell of Dover, Maine, who still
remains, and will graduate next summer.
This young lady has had more than COM
mon difficulties TO encounter. She has not
only been obliged to teach, and work in the
factory during her vacations, but she has also
been compelled to endure the sneers of the
five gallant young gentlemen of her class,
four OF whom are intending to enter the
Christian ministry. Why these young gal
lants should oppose the farther progress of
their lady felow-student, would perhaps ap-
pear unaccountable to people who have eI-
tricated themselves from their intellectual
swaddling-clothes, were it not for the fact
that she, in spite of all the obstacles in her
path, has succ seded in outstrippng the young
Lords of Creation, who have the honor of
being associated with her in the recitation
rooms, in acquiring fund of useful knowl
edge.
She is one of the best scholars in the col
lege, and has pursued wider and more va
ried course of reading than any other mem
ber of her class. Indeed so fearful are these
young sprigs of divinity in prOspectu that
they shall be outdone by their sister-student
upon their exit into the active world that the
five so-called gentlemen have actually sent
in petition to the faculty this term to have
her removed. o Temporal, o mOres! 1 don't
know, though, as | can blame the poor fei-
lows Tor not wishing to be eclipsed by their
fair companion, who has had more difficulties
to meet and overcome than all of them put
together; but 90 really think that it -Tould
be more manly in them to withdraw them
selves and leave the field alone to their fem
mime competitor. Poor boysi L really do
pity them from the bottom of my heart !;
but then if they have not been so plentilully
endowed with brains as their sister, or if they
have neglected to make as good use OF what
they have, they ought not to vent their anger
and chagrin upon her by trying to deprive
her OF the benefits of liberal education. 1t
is not becoming in ChristidRs.
We endorse every word of the above most
heartily. 1t becomes "neither Christians,
pagans nor men," If the story came from
any but perfectly reliable source we should
beg leave to reject it as fabrication.

Canada Thisties.

Our agricultural papers recently talk a
good deal about this pest OF the field and pas
ture, and how to get rid of it. Many years
ago Simon Greenleaf whose name is held in
lively remembrance by tie people of Maine,
had a lady friend who was extravagantly
fond of flowers, and especially anxious to ex-
Gel all her neighbors in cultivating the most
Journey to Massachusetts, he brought with
him some seed of what he called the Scotch
rose, and presented it to his lady friend for
which she expressed her thanks in the warm
est terms. She prepared spot and planted
the seed, anxiously waiting and watching for
it to come up. At last the plants showed
themselves above ground and grew rapidly,
for they were in rich ground and carefully
nursed by delicate hands. SooL they began
to exhibit many sharp points upon the edges
of the leaves, and looked very much like
young thistles. Some of the lady's friends
expressed decided opinion that they were
thistles, but Mr.. Greenleaf shrewdly remark
ed that the most beautiful roses always grew
IHc ptob anu MO 'AiNHN
was aware of that fact and hoped on, and yet
she, too, thought the plant very much resem-
bled young thistles. There were young this
ties growing in the garden and she often COM
pared them with this "Scotch rose," and but
for her anxiety and hope she would have dis
covered an exact resemblance.
The taller the Scotch rose grew the more
like thistle it looked, and to the disappoint-
ment and chagrin Of the fair cultivator it was
in fact Canada thistle, and the facetlous
donor of the seed knew it all the time. For
years this young lady was often compelled to
hear some one allude to the Scotch rose, inso-
much that she almost lost her love for flow
ers and ceased iiom cultivating them.
Now there is one kind of thistle which
bears large, beautiful bud and blossom; at
least, it would be esteemed beautiful ir it
were anything else but thistle. We have
seen acres upon acres on the road from

Letter from nliIlbriage.

MLLRRIDGE, July 10, 1885,
To the Editor Of the Press:
This town was part of the township OF
Harrington and was owned by VIM. Freeman,
Esq, of Cherry6eld, formerly of Portland.
1t was incorporated as a separate town about
twenty years ago, and is now an enterprising
business place. Its principal business is ship
building although it is the centre of an extern
sive trade. The lumber manufactured at
Cherryfield is shipped at this place, it beirg
the head of navigation for anything except
fiat bottomed boats. About two years ago a
fire broke out in the centre of the village, Ce-
stroying several stores and dwellings. Capt.
+. Sawyer has since erected an elegant store
with French roof, and other large buildings
have been put up during the past year. There
are about twelve stores; two churches, and
the usual number OF machine shops in pro-
portion to the business. A large number of
ship masters, who sail from Boston to New
York have fine residences here.
BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY LIGHTING.
One of the most terrific thunder storms
ever experienced in this section of the State.
passed over this and neighboring towns, on
Wednesday morning. But little damage was
done in this town or in Cherryfeld, so far as
have been able to learn. In Columbia the
barn of Mr.. William Worcester containing
seven or eight tons of hay was struck and en-
tirely destroyed; barn of Col b. C. Coffin,
OF the same town, was also struck but not
materially damaged. The storm continued
with but short intermission for sixteen or
eighteen hours. A portion of the time 1t was
terrible for weak nerves.
DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.
few days since Mr.. Gulliyer, a seaman
on board vessel here, was shot by the acci-
dental discharge OF gun, the charge entering
the back of his head. 1t is thought it will be
fatal.
sHIPBUILDING.
Mr.. 7. Smith, at Cherryield is building a
steam tug, 90 feet by 80. 1t is to have two
engines of so horse power each. This tug is
to take freight from the steamer Lewiston at
Millbridse, for Cherryield, Harrington, and
Addison. 1t will be very great conyen-
ience to the merchants and business men of
'neSc PAaCoS. InC. nluckley OF CnerrynolQ Is
building brig of about 400 tons. Mr.. E.
Dyer of Millhridge is putting up bark OF 500
tons. Mr.. James Foster and Others are
building brig Of about 400 tons. Mr.. t.
Smith of Cherryfeld is making arrangements
to build schooner of 200 tons.
LOBSTER FACTORY.
About two miles below the village of Mill
bridge is the lobster factory OF Mr.. John
Winslow Jones of your city. The building
is on the lower steamboat wharf, where freight
is taken and delivered without truckage.
About thirty hands are employed in the fac
tory besides some 40 or so engaged in catch
ing Holsters. About $50, 900 pound cans have
been put up the present season, for which a
market is found in Portland, Boston, New
York and the Pacific coast. The business
here is under the entire management of Mr..
A. b. Walker, whose long experience, prompt
business habits and gentlemanly department
render him exceedingly popular with the
employees and invaluable to his employer.

The India Cotton Crop.

The same fall OF rain which has been 80
heavy as first 70 save and then threaten with
inundation the grain crops Of the Northwest,
has rescued the cotton cultivation Of Central
India and Berar. Mr.. N. Riyett Carnac, the
cotton commissioner, reports that cheerful ac-
counts have just been received from all the
districts where, three weeks ago, I saw the
heavens as brass and the earth as iron. The
rain, too, has expelled that cholera which was
numbering its victl by hundreds in the fatal
Nerbudda Valley, notorious for more than ono
cholera march" of our troops. The peasantry
are now all busy sowing or resolving the cotton.
The only drawback is that farmers who, in the
last few years, greatly "xtended their cultlva-
ton, have now contracted The area under COT
ton. More careful cultivation, however, may
be the result. Then the delay in the down.
pour Of the monsoon is likely so to proloug it
that the crop of bext spring will be bountiful-

where the monsoon began tJo early. In 1867

thousand baes t. Bombay a:one, or fifty-sis
thousand less than the previous year. But

among them. They are fast slipping away from

consequence, must sooner or later fall into in

States in which Puritanism prevailed. My own
opinion is that unless the church can step in
