G. A. r. Notes.


In the Department of Maine, G. A. B., since
the annual encampment at Rockland, Feb. %,
1881, the number OF posts has increased from
thirty-three to forty-nine, possible fifty, and
the membership in posts previously organized
has increased in nearly the same ratio. 1t is
believed that the present year will witness
gains in this Department quite unprecedented.
The annual encampment will meet at the Ma
tional Soldiers Home, Togus, the date to be
fixed by the Department Commander, proba-
bly, in January.
One of the largest posts ever started in Maine
was Burnside Post No. At, G. A. R., which
was instituted at K. of P. Hall, Auburn, Fri
day evening, by Department Commander W.
g. Haskell, assisted by d. Ell. Holman, Assis-
tant Adiutant General, J. S. Manson, acting
s. T. O., A. Holland, acting ]. V. c., r. R.
Kicker, M. D., acting Chaplain, Kendall Pol

and numerous members of Custer Post, Lew
lister. Seventy-seven veteran soldiers and

There was launched from the Thompson
yard at Kennebunkport yesterday very finely
built and finished ship named Reuce, measur-
ing 1924 tons, built for George III. Theobald,
Esq, of Richmond, and Capt. Benjamin
Adams, of Bowdoinham, both of whom have
devoted their personal attention the past
summer to the perfection of her construction,
which has been SO complete both in material
and workmanship that the class rate has been
fixed at A 1 for fifteen years in French Lloyds
Several fractions of the ship have been sold to
other parties (Col. j. W. Spaulding among
them) and she has been chartered to load in
New York for San Francisco at $3.50 per ton

A Foreign Tribute to Mr.. Blaine

The London Times of the 18th inst has the
following .appreciative editorial mention of
Secretary Blaine "The sympathy of Europe
as we'll as OF America has been with Mr..
Blaine in the sore trials thro ugh which be has
gone, and it will follow him into his retire
ment, if that is finally deter mined on. Fiji
teen months ago Mr.. Blaine was one of the
most formidable candidates for the Presidency,
and the struggle between himself and General
Grant in the Chicago convention is not yet for
gotten. When his supporters transferred their
votes to General Garfield and secured his NOM
ination as the Republican candidate, no one
was more loyal to the man who had thus unin-
tentionally supplanted him than Mr.. Blaine.
All through Nj. Garfeld's tenure of office he
was his right hand man, the most energetic of
Secretaries of State, and the warmest of
friends. It will be lamentable necessity that
removes him from among the Presidents adj

of Missouri, that the late Justice Cli ford
of the Supreme Court, told him some
months ago he had prepared a complete
and detailed history of the proceedings
of the Electoral Commission, and that it
would be published after is death, un.
less his wife decided otherwise. We hope
the publication will be made. 1t is gem
eral imF ression that Justice Bradley at
one time, during the progress of the
hearing, told Justics Clifford he would
vote to reject or give Mr.. Tilden the

The number of artesian wells in New
York steadily and rapidly increases,
something like forty having been sunk
during the past year. Their depth range
from 200 to 1000 feet and the flow range
fr ON GOO to 1000 barrels day. These
wells are used mainly by brewers and
other large manufacturers who require a
large amour. Of water, and who find the
artesian well water economical both from
its cheapness and its GOODNESS, which en-
ables them to dispense with much ice.
Usually the wells are vertical. In one
instance seven holes were drilled in diff
erent directions and at different loCa-
tions, only one being vertical. The bor-
ing was carried to the depth Of about 260
feet on the average, the longest at an an
gle being 457 feet deep. Water was
was struck in all the borings, and an
abundant supply has been obtained con-
tinuously. San Francisco is also resort
ing to the artesian well. During the past
year many wells have been bored, and
the tapping of new veins does not dim
nish the volume of water in wells pre-
viously used. Everything connected
with he sinking of wells tends to show
that the supply of water is inexhaustible.
The water is clear cold and pure, being
free from vegetable impurities and sedi-
ment of surface drainage.

The probable shortage for 1881 is set
down at 100000 bushels for Ohio; 81
100000 bushels for Illinois; l4,500,000 for
Michigan, and 100000 for Iowa, max
ing an aggregate shortage for the four
States of SO,5OO,OOO bushels. The esti-
mates of the Board are sustained by Mr..
G. W. Greene. of Chicago, who has spent
weeks examining the crops of winter
wheat STATES. He reports Ohio as the
banner Stats this year.
At the date of the report, July l6, the
crop had been nearly all secured ia barn
or stack and "in superb condition" The
r port says that the "straw is bright, the
berry plump and the heads long and

parts of the State, and the next question
to be considered will be the selling price.
Owing to the shortage in the winter crop
the uncertainty of the spring crop, and
fair condition Of European crops, ii will
take some time for prices to find their

Ohio farmers should be in no particular
