These suits are broken lots, from which the

The VISIT OF THE FRIENDs.-Before this,
most of the Friends who have been attending
the yearly meeting in this city have returned to
their homes. In entertaining this body our
citizens have not been less generous and hos
pitable than on former occasions. That the
welcome SO cordially extended to the yearly
meeting has been fully appreciated by those
who value hospitality aud good will to all as
the first duty in practical religion is shown not
only by the card published yesterday, bat as
we'll by the warm expressions of satisfaction
we have heard from the visitors. Especially
grateful to them were the kindness and cour.
tesies received from the various city churches.
In view of the fact that Newport, by the ties of
long association had come to be regarded as
their home, and that the visiting friends came
among us, entire strangers, these sentiments of
satisfaction should be the more gratifying to
our citizens. Should the yearly NEE ting be re-
held here in 1879 as is proposed, the acquain-
tances pleasantly formed during the past week
will be increased and strengthened, and ripen
nto strong friendship. Should the friends visit
our city again they will find that the proverbial
hospitality of Portland will welcome them even
more warmly than in the past The members
of the meeting are unanimously of the opinion
that the PRESS has given the best reports ever
published of their meetings.

The Texas CoLoNY.-Yesterday morning
Mr.. Whitcomb, of the Federal street Texas
colony, received from DR.. Ammi Brown, agent
of the Galveston & San Antonio railroad in
Boston, Information, by one of the directors
of the Texas Colony No. 1, stating that Mr..
Martin Hyer, of the committee for visiting
Texas, called at his office Wednesday morning,
intoxicated and was evidently in no condition
to transact business. Such was his condition
that DIR. Brown revoked the company's prom
Use as to land and passes, but next day Mr.. APP
pleton and Mr.. Weir of the committee called
on him and with them he agreed to hold to his
promise when proper committee is sent to
consult with him.
Mr.. Appleton has returned and reports Mr.
Hyer as having gone on spree with $40 of the
cOlony's money, subscribed to send him to
Texas. When Mr.. Appleton left him he de-
clared bis intention to go to Texas if he had to
walk.
Last evening meeting of the colony was
held and Mr.. Whitcomb presided. He read
the substance of the letter to the colony and
asked them what action they would take in the
premises. Some one moved that the City
Marshal be instructed 10 have Hyer brought
to this CITY, The motion was secoLded with a
will, and from the remarks which followed it
was evident that Hyer would want the protec-
ton of the police if he should appear in this
city. He pledged his word that he would do
the best he could for them. 1t is said that he
will be tried for obtaining money under false
pretences if arrested, and the City Marshal is
to use every effort to capture him.

A PROPOSITION to find some point OF
compromise or practical reconciliation
between the AllOpathic and Homeopathic
Schools OF Medicine in England, attracts
attention, and the topic is discussed, pro
and con, in the London Times, The two
schools are too widely separated in this
country 10 tolerate the idea OF union,
much less to tolerate each other. DR..
James Bell, Of Augusta, Me-, has admin.
istered rather strong dose OF letter for
a homeopathic to the English advocates
OF the measure. He says "Hahnemann
was not n schismatic. His discoveries
are, to-day, to one class Of physicians a
priced heritage Of unspeakable worth,
while to another class they are the errors
Of fanatics, fools and knaves. What pos.
sible bond Of Union can be found for
these twoH Only one. The acknowledge.
nent and recognition OF these discoveries;
and that must come, not from the new
school, but the old. The best and truest
representatives Of the new school ask and
desire no other bond of union. Chem.
istry asks nothingo Of alchemy; astronomy
asks nothing Of ustrology; light asks
nothing OF darkness; homeopathy asks
nothing Of allopathy but fair field and
no favor" This does not look any more
like union than blister OF Spanish flies
looks like an eye salvO. The two schools
OF practice, however, act as u constant
criticism upon each other, and the eager
watch they keep over each others prac.
tice Is doubtless best for both. And as
Tor ,quarreling, doctors Of the same school
seldom agree with each other, any more
than lawyers whose only bond OF union
is big retainer.-N. Y. Graphie.

The Galena, ILL.,; industrial Pres re.
ports a meeting Of the Farmers Club at
Warren, Ill, at which the cost Of pro-
ducing buShel Of corn was the subject
Of debate.
The speaker who opened the debate
said he had figured the cost Of plowing,
dragging, cultiyating, harvesting and rent
Of ground Tor intereBt on valuation Of

than $40 an acre; he figured the average
yield per acre at 40 bushels, which would
make the net cost 25 cents buahel put
In the crib, 80 that the grower would have
to sell above that figure to secure any
profit at all.
Another member did not think corn
could be put in the crib for % cents;
thought il would cost nearer 40 cents
than %, and also said the average yield
would not go over % bushels TO the acre,
Does not consider this locality a good
country for corn, though corn is our
principal staple.
One Of the speakers thought that the
first statement made had put The rent or
interest on The land TO a high figure; be
thought corn could be produced for 25
cents per bushel, but not for any less. He
thought one.fith Of the corn raised was
injured by over cultivation. He believed
four times cultivating ample, and the
frat time the shovels should DO run close
to the rows; il ground is mellow, run
shallow; half the labor should be done
before the corn is in sight.
Another member stated that he never
had exceeded 40 bushels TO the acre as an
average for a crop, and that on the best

II can hardly be said that the debate
had a general bearing, and the points
stated have reference to the northern
counties ofIllinoie. The average yield
Of corn in Illinois is q bushels to the
acre, and the quantity produced per acre
varies greatly according TO situation.
One Of the most potent means Of gaining
large crop is early cultivation.

from the lOng.continued drouth. In

planters, there was an overproduction Of

"Terrible as was the lesson taught in
