There is quite trade in children be-
tween New York city and the West In
New York there is a surplus Of orpha ans.
homeless, vagrant boys and girls. who I'M
der good care might grow up useful men
and women, and the sparsely settled West
feels the want of those little people for farm
work or to help about the house. Hardly
day passes that some man and wife from
the west do not drop in at the offices OF
charitable organizations, to look up a child
TO take back with them as apprentice or for
adoption. The reports of these organiza-
tons are full of extracts Of letters from the
waits and strays OF New York streets who
have been rescued from dirt AMI sin and
farmed out to kind people at the West. 1t
is now proposed in the New York Legisla-
ture that these children shall not be sent
out of the State TO be lost to II rs citizens
when they grow up.

1t is to be hoped that the voice of the
public and the press will arouse the peo-
pie of Castine To that which is injuring the
town and the Normal School: want OF
steam communication with Belfast. A
Castine correspondent compliments. and
very properly, in the Wing, Capt. Ross for
sending the steamer Howell to take Nor.
NAL students from Belfast here. but the
fact that Ihired the beat at nay oua risk. on
law terms, shows that something can be
done in Castine and that some credit is due
TO the Principal of the school. So the pu.
pills and leading citizens have thanked me
for the much needed enterprise-I have
hopes that good will come of it. You
know that our people are sluggish and
need pricking up-hence these items are
of value. G. T. FLETCHER.
