adapted to the culture of coffee and cocoa
The product of wax and honey ia surprisingly
large, thousands of hives of honey being
destroyed for the want of the wax alone.
Wild ginger and indigo grow everywhere in
greatest profusion, and cotton is raised. Lui-
cana is successfully raised on the higher
mountains, and many vegetables and fruits of
temperate soil are also produced in abundance
as an evidence OF present undeveloped con-
ditions of Dominican agriculture.
1t may be cited for fact that the Commits
sion, during expeditions through the interior
of the Island often met with beet sugar, rails
ed and refined in France. Butter and cheese
is imported from Denmark, and milk, con-
densed in the United States, but seldom with
similar articles manufactured on the Island.
The country everywhere is adapted to cul-
tiyation of tobacco, and three crops of Indian
corn are raised annually, though the most
valuable natural grain is a species of rye
More than forty distinct varieties of tropical
fruits wese found growing wild. The grasses
In San Domingo furnish abundant forage of
the best quality. Immense herds of cattle
feed on the Great Savanna, and though they
were multiplied ten fold, they could not ex-
haust the abundant pasturage. They can be
bought for cent pound on the hoof. Goats
abound in the more aired districts, and in the
forests swines thrive in great numbers. Sheep
are very few, and poultry is plenty wild,
guano foul being seen in many parts of the
Island. Horses are raised in great numbers
and only the marauding expedition have
prevented great development of the bust
ness Of stock-raising. One Of the most re-
markable agricultural features of San Do
mngo.is the density of natural growths in
different localities. Insects and noxious rep
tiles are not found more abundant than in
our old States. The fisheries of the Island
which were once fourishing have lately fallen
into neglect though great schools of tenny
fish are still abundant on the southern shore.
Black fish are found on the northern shore,
and every year some are caught and tried for
oil.
A small oyster is very abundant in certain
localities, growing attached to mayroon
bushes. They are eaten by the natives but
are not SO palatable as the oysters of more
northern ATTITUDES.
San Domingo, according to all testimony,
is generally healthy country, especially in
the interior among the mountains, where
white men labor safely and successfully.
The acclimation of strangers, presents no
greater obstacle to immigration than in sew
eral of our new States. The eastern portion
of the Island is continually swept by the trade
winds, and is therefore much more healthy
than Hayti, to which the ravages of yellow
fever are chiefly confined.
We are unable to give further report
this morning.

FROM PROVIDENCE.

Providence, R. l., April 5. The annual
State election occurred to-day. The present
republican State officers, with the exception
of Lieut.. Governor were reelected by about
3,400, returns from all but one town. Black
Island gives Padeltord, republican, 1882,
Stevens, Democrat, 5,27S. and scattering l54.
The question of abolishing trout fishing in
the Bay, was made an issue in the choice of
Lieut.. Governor. A bolt from the republic
can candidate defeats the election, which
now goes to the Legislature, which is largely
republican. The vote stands, Stevens the
republican nominee 6,5ll; Cutler, democrat
$685. and Brinley the Hook and Sing cam
didate 1881 The republicans have large
majority as usual in the east branch of the
general assembly.

BY accidentally pumping oil into the large
boiler at Wyman's sash and blind factory in
this city, composition was formed, which,
coming in contact with the hot water, burnt a
hole through portion of the boiler. While
the repairs are making there is no suspension
of operations, as the gates are simply hoisted
and the machinery propelled by water power.
This is an advantage that few manufactures
have, an immediate recourse to steam or
water power, on the giving out Of either.
Business was never better at this establish
ment; orders for work are constantly pouring
in from all ports of the country.

IL out of IL Aldermen, making with those
who hold, over a tie in the City Council and
secure the other majority, ranging frsm 400

The North Vassalboro wooden company
are using large quantities of shaving s made
in the manufacturing Of shovel handles, for
fuel, instead of cord wood. These shavings
are tied up in bundles being manufactured at
the shovel factory of II. r. Butterfeld at East
vassalboro'. Thirteen cords of these shaw
ings are equal to ten cords Of ordinary wood.
They are used for generating steam. Thir-
teen cords are burned daily.
