EvapOrating Peaches.

Two years ago, the last peach crop,
our fruit evaporators were in full ope-
ration at this time. 1t will be at least
two weeks yet, this season, for Hale's
Early will not be in market until next
week, and the Troth and York have
still to follow, before the fruit suitable
for canning and evaporating is reached.
The dry weather which must neces-
sairily affect the crop by making the
fruit smaller will not be so much against
the evapOratOrs, as there will be less
water in the peach to dry out; but
those who sell in the city markets will
find the baskets diminished in number
and the fruit in size, while the labOrers
in the factories will find the work
more tedious and less profitable.
The number of evaporators erected
in our State and on the Peninsula will
make an astonishing difference in the
marketable products. both ways les
sening the quantity that would be
shipped by something approximating
100000 of baskets, which will be
adding possibly an unwieldy bulk to a
market that already had fair supply.
If such quantity thrown on the mar
ket does not affect the price, it will be
because new and wider avenues shall
be opened to it. The usual quantity
of evaporated fruit from basket of
peaches, peeled, is 81 fbs., but this year
| from the causes above stated, it NAV
reach, and most probably will, 81 lbs.
per basket. This will be putting on
the market about 1900 tons against a
| few hundred tons heretofore.
Dried fruit has the advantage in that
it has the world for market, and il
will doubtless be pushed by the city
dealers into regions where it has been
heretofore unknown. This seeming
OVerproduction will doubtless have
this tendency. Two years ago when
the product was double that of and
proceeding year, prices were we'll
maintained, and an increased demand
must be looked for in the general pros
perity of business and the full employ
ment of all classes of laborers and
trades men, than whom these are nc
more liberal providers.
THE MACHINES.
The work of evaporating has hereto.
fore been found profitable, especially
so two years ago, and the most of those
engaged in the enterprise have doubled
their machinery this year. Messrs
Voshell & Jerman in addition to two
more machines have considerably en-.
larged their rooms for business accom-
modations. John ii. Hoffecker, who
has the only cannery here, has alsc
erected an additional building and put
IN two eyaporators which viii be sup
piled with fruit from his own orchards
Messrs. Tygert, Hutton & Wright hay,
put up building 80 by 65 feet in the
northern part of the town with foul
evaporators. Messrs. Hardcastle &
Jones have made additions to the build
ing they purchased at Clayton, adding
greatly to its comfort and convenience
; and put in three eyaporators. Horac,

PROHIBITION IN THE WEST. The
victory of the prohibitionists of Iowa
has stirred up the temperance men in
other Western States, especially Wis
cOnsin and Minnesota. Concerning the
cause in the latter State the St. Paul
Pioneer Press says: "An influential
official, who lives in the southern part
Of the State, writes that the temDer-
ance wave has swept from Iowa into
the southern tier, of counties, and is
carrying everything, temporarily at
least, before it. He says people are
wild with excitement, and that the
question Of prohibition, or certainly of
local option, will cut large figure in
the fall" 1t is said that one strong in
centive in bringing out big majority
for prohibition in Iowa was the RAPIDLY
increasing court expenses, which the
heaVily-taXed farmers do not like.
The women, too, entered into the work
rs they never did before. In Des
MOines and all over the State they
were mt the polls in large numbers. dis
tributing tickets and soliciting votes.
After an absence of thirteen years
4lOll MS WIG dlIu uOllc, W llllanl i@llN-
der returned last week to West Chester,
Pa, and set every gossip's tongue wag-
/ ging. Like Enoch Arden, he came
back to find that his wife was happily
married to another man, but unlike
EnOch Arden he did not peer glo0mly
into the window and, after bch0lding
her happiness, retire a broken-hearted
man. On the contrary he walked into
the house, introduced himself to his
former partner, informed her that he
was about to marry a Boston woman,
and induced her to sign paper, with
her present husbands consent, agree
ing not to interfere with his second
matrimonial alliance. For his part he
promised never to set foot i'm West
Chester again, and when this cheerful
bargain had been conSummated, he
withdrew in the best Of spirits and
started for Boston.

The last witness for the prosecution
was DR.. Gray, superintendent of the
New York lunatic asylum at Utica for
the past 80 years. His testimony was
on par with that of the other experts
on behalf of the government, and pro-
nOunced Guiteau sane and responsible
for his act. No effort of the defence
could break down his testimony; and
the prisoner showed his appreciation
of the witness by frequent noisy dem
onstrations and bursts of anger.
Guiteau is to have prison fare and
prison discipline now, even at the
eleventh hour. This is sensible idea,
which ought to have been carried out
from the very first. The nursing and
pampering which he has received up
to date has been something extraOrdi-
nary, and has only served to develop
his supreme cOnceit and arrogance.
j. w. Guiteau believes the jury will
hang his brother, sane or insane. He
evidently has no great faith in the the
cries to which the prisoner has chung
SO tenaciously.
1t is said that DIR. Gray and one OF
two other experts were expressly in
structed by the prosecution to make a
careful and unprecedented investigation
of the insanity question, on the under
standing that if they found the prisoner
insane, the government would abide
by their decision.

"Gentilesr in Utah. 1t restored to the
courts of the United States the gene
raj civil and criminal jurisdiction,
which had been taken away by the
Mormon Territorial Legislature and
vested in the probate courts in the
several counties, filled usually by Nor
mon bishops. The jurisdiction of
these probate courts was limited to the
settlement of estates and ordinary pro-
bate business. Before this law, none
but Mormon ever sat on a jury in
Utah; under it, there would always be
a fair proportion of ''Gentiles." But
we do not propose to give details of
what the bill originally contained, or
what was left of it when passed. The
law as passed has greatly aided the
"Gentiles" in holding their ground in
the territory. Had the bill as intro
duced become a law, we believe that
it would have gone far toward making
an end of this ''twin relic of barba-
rism." We are glad to notice that the
views of Judge Poland in this matter
are beginning to be appreciated. A
late number of the New York Evening
Post speaks of the matter as follows:
District Attorney Beatty has written
another letter on the subject of polyg-
amy, in which he makes several sug-
gestiOns as to changes in the law. He
would, first, make the living in and
practice of pOlygamy a criminal of
fence, just as the pOlygamOus marriage
itself is now. The difficulty, however,
with this is that, unless the mere fact
that a number of women live under
the same roof with a man is to be taken
as proof of the practice of pOlygamy
(Which involves a serious change of the
law of evidence), it would be Just as
difficult to prove the cOhabitation as
to prove the marriage. Again, he
would have wives made competent
witnesses in all cases, on the theory
that some of them would be willing
witnesses, while others could be forced
to testify. But there is no reason why
they should be willing to testify, as
their coming forward would merely
have the result of making them out
casts from the only social existence in
which they have any position, and the
idea that they can be forced to testify
is absurd. Any attempt of the sort
would be Il kind of legal persecution !;
it would probably be very welcome to
the Mormons, for it was by persecution
that the church was originally built
up. Mr.. Beatty also advocates the
Acknowledgement of all pOlygamists,
including of course the women, who,
after having been given the suffrage in
the interests of monOgamy, have basely
used it to further those of Mormonism.
The more of Mr.. Beatty's letters we
read the more convinced we are that
Judge Poland, after all, showed that he
understood the real difficulty i'll the
case better than any one when he used
to ridicule i'll Congress the idea that
the "MormOn problem" could be solved
by simply legal means. Any useful
bill for the alteration of the law of
marriage i'll Utah, he said, must wind
up with the provision that "the Presi-
dent shall have power to enforce the
provisions of this act by means of
United States troops

Our Boston Correspondence.

A very readable letter from Boston
correspondent came too late to be zap

of the letter was concerned, treating as
it did of holiday attractions and illus

ing extracts, however, concerning 9th
Ell matters
Any person who has not been in the
city for some months will be surprised

religion he paid most elegant tri-
butte to the American missionaries in
Asia Minor and their influence in eleva-
ting the people there in every way, and

quite thrilling account of his ascent

DIR. HOskins On the ST. Adams

The older citizens who first invested

and then winked at it's selling liquor
"tO Travellers" are at last reused by
the sight of the sons who were to be
the stay of their old age becoming
travellers" on the down grade to per-
ditiOn. Their sin has found them out
the love of money has been the root of
this as of SO many other bitter evils ;
the mothers, sisters a nd wives of these
ruined young men are in a spasm of
this family influence mainly in st. AL =
bans that has brought the present
"crisis.n | believe the people there
are in earnest-dead earnest-to put
an end to liquor selling, and, though
the excitement must necessarily in
time abate, 1t will not cease until the
purpose in view is as nearly as posi-
bic attained. Not only in st. Adams
but in all our villages, this same feeling
has place, and must show itself in
similar action very soon. 1t is aston
ishing how much more open and extern
sive the sale OF liquor has become in
the past year all through the state. 1t
has burst out like smallpox all over
the country, and the cause is the same
neglect on the part of those whose
duty it was to see to the safety of the
community. Strange as the assertion
may seem, cheap politics is at the
foundation of all these abuses, and an
eye single to the almighty dollar
among the people is the ground be-
meath that foundation.

Book Notice.

hOOA INOtlcts
The Students Edition of the Revised
New Testament, edited and soon to be
published by Rev. Rufus Wendell of
Albany, N. Y, appears to us, from a
cursOry examination of advance sheets,
to be work invaluable to every one
who desires to know the extent and
nature of the changes made by the Re
Visers. The text of this work is a
faithful reprint of the Oxford pica-demy
vo. edition. 1t gives the results of
an exhaustive comparison of the Re
vised with the authorized version. All
changes made 10y the Revisers are dia-
critically marked according to their
nature. Those portions of the Author
lied version adopted by the Revisers
are left unmarked as common to both
versions, while the rejected portions
are given in fOOt-notes. Thus at Il
glance the general reader can see what
is common to both revisions, and what
is peculiar to each. Besides this gen
eral feature of the work, by the use of
some fifteen different diacritical marks,
every species of revisiOnal change is
btiStu oh
tons of the Greek text are distinguish
ed from those of retranslation. Sub
situations are distinguished from addi-
lions or reflections. Contributions from
the Authorized margin to the Revised
text and retention from the Authorized
text in the Revised margin are careful
ly indicated. Initial verse-wOrds, ex-
illusions from or transpOsitiOns in any
verse, and transferences from one verse
to another, all have their peculiar
signs. This edition is substantially
the two versions in one, since the Au-
thOrized version can be reconstructed
by restoring the rejected portions to
their place in the text. Valuable edi-
torial matter and full numerical sum
mary of the changes for each book and
chapter have been added by the editor.
Altogether it is complete and indis-
pensable hand book of the Revision.
The publishers agent is now canvass
ing our village. So valuable a work
should gain for him a cordial reception
and substantial encouragement.
