In view of the European war and other causes,
the farmers Of Maine are this year inclined to
pu; in a good breadth of wheat and to revive the
practice of planting corn. There is no danger Of
their sowing or planting too much. For the past
few years many farmers have abandoned corn
raising, sheep raising, poultry raising. cattle rails
ing, and in fact all kinds of raising with the ex-
cepton of sapping their farms in the production
Of hay and pasturage to enable them to produce
milk for the market This is suicide in many
cases. because all farms cahnot easily be changed
into milk farms without the destruction of natur-
al capacities suited to the production of divers
crops. The farmers of Maine ought to learn by
iris time not to ''rsk all their eggs in one basket.

NEW YORK..
Accident.

NEW YORK, Nav /. BY the falling In of the
root OF the new post Office two laborers were i'll
cd and two or more severely injured. Ii Is feared
there may be other bodies beneath the tons OF
rubbish
The names of the parties injured are C. A. Rob-
nson, laborer, killed, d. Fleming. laborer, fatally
injured, John e. Oliver. Henry Jones, Max Hen
sell aud T. Cooper, all badly injured. One labor
err is missing.
The accident occurred while the men were nut
ting on new wire girder to the mansard roof for
the purpose of siren. hening it, when it suddenly
fell.
The injured men were taken to the hospital.
Thomas A Oaksputt, supervising inspector in
charge OF the building, on being asked the cause
of the accident, said that there was brick wall
partially supporting the dome, which was cracked
and he thought it nsd been settling some months
and had caused q detection in the ceiling below
An iron truss OF same kind as those adjoining had
been placed in position to support 1t. lie thought
that upon examination it would be found that
there was flaw in the iron truss.
Ace dent to a Fe,ryboat.
The ferry boat America had the ladies' cabin
stove in by collision 10 the slip at the New York
side with the Fulton ferryboat Farragut. One
lady had her foot crushed, and there was quite
panic for few minutes. The America has been
hauled off.
Weather.
Bright, clear, warmer, wind west.
Cause of Fire.
F. Shelby and P. Power, firemen ON the steam.
er Leo, burneda few weeks ago, make affidavit
that that vessel was burned by reason of several
barrels OF gin breaking open between decks, and
the gin catching fire from lamp.
Naval Affairs.
The Times in discussing the governments ma
val preparations, says: The recent repolted dec
ara,ion of Stafford North Cole that the uneasi.
ness of the ministry is tempered by the conyic-
ton that they had dore and mean to do their duty
by the country, receives curious commentary in
the naval intelligence We published Yesterday.
The ministry have been contending for peace and
cannot have forgotten the ancient maxim that to
insure peace is to prepare for war. But a foreign
er might fairly suppose their preparations have
been exclusively OF a diplomatic kind, when he
reads of the Hercules, Triumph and Inconsistent
being all in the dock and requiring the labor Of
months to right them for active service. Though
we have more and better ships than any other
power, we cannot use the ships we have.
