Eenadus to give him back a knife he had
borrowed of him he placedhiS gun outside
the house, where a boy Jook hold of it and
began playing with it, Renadus express
sed his anxiety at this, whereupon Viii
liams took away the gun from the boy,
but now in his turn began to frighten
Renadus by pointing at him with it, at
the same time lingering the trigger. Rena-
dus, who had meanwhile gone into his
house, prayed Williams to leave off the
dangerous handling of the gun, but without
effect; Immediately afterwards the warning
was terribly justified, the gun going off
and ~wounding the unfortunate man as
above described.

Farming is conducted on mammoth
scheme at the Maine Insane Hospital. Hay
ing began in earnest Monday morning, and
if the weather is propitious in 10 days the
last load will be put into the great barns.
One hundred and seventy five acres are to be
cut over. and it is expected that 800 tons will
be the amount of the first crop. Two now
ing machines and two horse -rakes are run,
and three large ox-racks employed. Mon
day afternoon 32 large loads were
put into the barns. The

sturdy men, and it is pleasure

ge,ic way in which they despatch

crops Of various kind, and Is acres to grain
The kitchen garden consists of six acres, di-
vided between vegetables and small
fruits. In it is strawberry
patch of one-half acre, from
which nearly 800 quarts Of magnificent
berries were plucked yesterday morning
Tomorrow as many more berries can be
gathered from the plat. The intense red
of the berries and the deep green of the
vines make never-to-be forgotten picture
Fifty-six cows are kept on the farm, so that
the fortunate inmates of the institution revel
in strawberries and cream. Wednesday the
first mess of green peas for the
season will be gathered. 1t takes ~
bushels to furnish dinner for the great fam
lily at the Hospital--550 persons in all, pa
tents, attendants and officers. The secret OF
the immense crops which are taken from the
Hospital farm, is that plenty of dressing is
applied to the SOIL In addition to the large
herd of cows kept, in the piggery there are
always from one to two hundred swine
working over material for compost: and
