EroOstOOl< Notes.

Our Sherman correspondent writes: The fall
harvest is pretty much gathered and we are
able to Judge somewhat of the result compared
with other seasons. The season has been cold
and wet; corn, beans and vines have proved
almost failure with us this season. The hay
crop was remarkably good and grain and pota-
toes fully an average. The potato yield is
nearly 100 per cent larger than either of the
two preceding years. The starch factory in
Sherman will get fully 10000 bushels. They
took in over 1000 bushels in one day. Most of
our farmers have raised their bread and they
find ready cash market for their young stock
and beef this season. To-day, Oct. 20, Messrs.
Soule & Butterield took out of town fine
drove, eleven Of which they bought of one
farmer, Mr.. L. F. Rand
Sheep and lambs are turning well and
many hundreds are being driven to market
M. j. Merriam will have driven 1900 to 400
sheep and lambs this season when he closes up
the falls work. On the whole it would seem
that the year will have wrought as much sub
stantial good for the farmers of Aroostook as
the average of years in the past.
The saw and shingle mill owned by j. A.
Rowe of Crystal was destroyed by fire the ere
ming of Oct 18th, together with a large lot of

Mr. j. P ingalls, barn, hay and grain, and
quite lot of hay and farming tools owned by
Mr.. Simeon Dearborn of Sherman were burned
Oct. 20, about o'clock a. m. The fire is sup
posed to have blown from q clearing, carried
quite long distance by the strong wind. Mr..
Ingalls, is left very needy.
On Saturday night at o'clock, the barn of
VIM. Pomeroy of Maysville, one mile from
Preeque Isle, was burned. 1t had in it four
cows and other cattle, two horses, two wagons
harnesses, forty tons of hay all his grain, 600
bushels of potatoes, all of which was burned.
Loss estimated at $780, 400 insurance. No
one knows how the fire originated, but it is
supposed that two men slept upon the hay, and
set it on fire with their pipes.

John Fiske.

It is no often that our readers have the op-
portunity of hearing such an interesting and
useful course of lectures as is now being de-
liyered upon the subject of American History.
And when we consider the fact that they are
given by so celebrated person as John Fiske
known the world over as the Spencer of
America we are not at all surprised that there
is quite connection being stirred up in our
literary circles.
Mr. Fiske is unquestionably one Of our most
highly educated men. From early youth he
has displayed wonderful talent in the direc-
ton of mental philosophy. Before he was
thirty years of age he had written very COM
plete system of cosmic philosophy. This work
put into book form only five years ago is now
well known by scientists and philosophers in
all parts of the civilized world. Some of his
critics object to it on the same ground that
they object to the Spencerian system.
Mary theologians consider it too materials
tic in character. But its more unbiased
readers fail to discover any anti-Christian
elements in it. Christianity is dealt with as
all forms of theology must necessarily be in
work of a purely philosophical nature. 1t is
given high and leading rank in the religions
of,the world.
Mr.. Fiske as a scientist is a believer in the
evolution theory. He has recently published
a very interesting little book entitled
"Darwinism and Other Essays" He has
given most of his time for the last few years
to historical investigation and is therefore
most admirably fitted to give the more inn
portant points in history to his hearers in
most clear and charming style.
Some years ago when in England he made
the acquaintance of the leading scientists there
and that acquaintance has grown into warm
friendship, so that no man i'll America has
warmer welcome in London by such men as
Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin, Spencer, &C., than
Mr.. Fiske.
In appearance Mr.. Fiske is rather retiring,
very pleasant and of course interesting in con-
versation, a dear lover of music and fine
critic i'll this science.

Diphtheria Again.

Mr.. EDrToR:-In you issue of yesterday
correspondent suggests the use of powdered
sulphur "blown into the throat through a
quill"
Powdered sulphur is one, though not the
best, of numerous local remedies resorted to in
different stages and forms of diphtheria. But
the proposed method of its use is one so
fraught with danger as to call for some word
of warning.
Probably the two ways in which this
disease is most readily communicated
from one person to another are ~ by the
breath of the patient directly inhaled
by another, and (2) by little detached masses
of the poisonous secretion blown, by a sudden
cough or sneeze, directly into the eyes, nose
or mouth of one examining, or making some
application to the throat of the patient.
1t is difficult, therefore, to conceive how a
more dangerous method of procedure could be
invented than that of putting ones mouth at
one end of a quill with the other end in the
mouth of patient sick Of malignant diphthe-
ria, and blowing something that would natur-
ally make him cough or sneeze.
Happily there are better and at the same
time safer methods. MEDICUs.
