Beaediction.
Every part was most excellently executed,
so that it would be superfluous-to particular
ize. 1t is safe to sly that the class of 'S3
, ranks well up to any of its predecessors. This
| school is one which the denomination under
hose auspices it was founded. as well as the
whole State may well feel proud, and it is
hoped that efforts may be made to place il
on good firm financial basis, as that is its
greatest need at the present time.
The anniversary exercises of the CLASH
cal Academy brought large number of the
alumni and friends of the school into the
place. We are glad to welcome them.
Work is going rapidly forward on the new

afternoon showed thorough training and re-
Elected much credit on the teachers who have
labored so faithfully for the advancement OF
the pupils in their studies. The afternoon
exercises took place in Mr.. Robinson's room.
which was very tastefully and prettily adorned
for the occasion. The room was well filled
not only with the pupils of the school, but
many of their friends and near relatives.
The exercises were very interesting. The
girls wore light dresses, and with their bright
and youthful features made a very fine ap-
pearance and acquitted themselves creditably.
All those taking Fart did well. The songs
were very faithfully rendered, several of
them provoking much mirth. The audience
showed their appreciation by frequently ap-
plauding and went away satisfied that Mr..
Robinson was a very able teacher.

Forepaugh,s Great show.

The indications point to large business here
today for this noted tented organization. The
show appeared at Bath yesterday to splendid
business. and general satisfaction was given.
A well known citizen of Augusta attended
the performance there, and in conversation
with some gentlemen friends here last even
ing said eyes, have seen the show. Fore
paugh has undoubtedly the most novel, fin
ished and elaborate tented show | ever saw.
There is nothing of the cheap tinsel order
about the establishment, but everything has
q solid, substantial appearance. The herd of
performing elephants, under the direction of
Adam Forepaugh, Jr.. did almost everything
bnt talk. There is no question but that
young Forepaugh is the greatest elephant
trainer in the world. The circus proper is
given in three rings, terminating with the
hippedrome races on an outer ring There
were more brilliant and sensational acts pre-
scented than ever saw before. l never ex-
pect to see better show than Foregaugh's.'

his wife. Subsequently Mrs. Williams
sold the property to one John K. Owens.
Recently another woman appeared who
claims TO be the lawful wife Of Hughes,
and Hughes now claims she Is, and was
his wife at the time the deed was given.
Mrs. Williams says that although there
never was any ceremony performed, be-
cause Hughes said it was needless ia
this country, she considers she WAS his
lawful wife; aud it appears that they
lived together for many years rs man
and wife and several children were born,
and the homestead was earned by them
jointly. Mrs. Williams claims that the
homestead was decided to her in order to
protect her rights against the woman
who now claims to be Hughes's lawful
wife. and that at the time Mrs. Hughes
appeared lie denied she was his wife,
but afterwards discarded her (Mrs. Will
llams) aud went to living with Mrs.
Hughes. Hughes claims that under the
circumstances under which the deed WAS
given it is void, and also that it is void
as 10 the homestead, because at the time
the deed was given lie had & wife living
who diu not Join with him in it, and he
| asks the court to set aside the deed.
One OF the most interesting sights
which our city presents, at this time. is
the mammoth ice-elevator and staging
erected by the Lake Champlain ice cou-
pany, for the storing of their ice-houses
at The foot of Maple street. 1t is ac-
knowledged to be the principal object OF
attraction in the vicinity, and hundreds

Apples for Market.

1t being admitted that for market
crop only u lew varieties and those OF
winter sorts should be planted, the next
point to be determined is what varieties
should these consist OF. In locations
where the Baldwin succeeds we'll, IL Is
Lie most profitable apple raised. This
may seem like strong statement, but |
oeleve IL is true, nevertheless. There
are other varieties which may be ot as
good navor and nearly as productive, but
tne Baldw III Is known everywhere, both
III Tins country and in Europe, is uniyer-
sally esteeuIed, is an abundant bearer
,nd will generally bring the grower
more dollars Than any oth.r variety.
Boston dealer III apples, when asked
what variety he thought the most prot
liable tor raising Tor the market, replied
hat lie thought the Baldwin WAS, ii Que
intended 10 set only Lwo OF three hun
dreu trees. The second best, in his
opinion, MAS the RoXbury Russet; and
lniru, the Rhode Island Greenng. MIR.
Prescott Williams of " illiauisburg,

pie trees he would set only Baldwins and
Tie Ladies' SweetinSs. An instance re-
lated by Mr.. Charles NJ. Hoyey, author
vi Fruit in America" we'll illustrates
lie popularity which the Baldwin enjoys
as u market apple: "Sonle years ago,
long before there was demand for eXpor-
cation to England, Il cultivator who was
about planting All orchard, and who did
not care to make failure, applied TO one
Of The largest dealers in Boston, to give
Ills advice as to the kinds most desirable
20 plant. Well said the dealer, 1T is
rather difficult question, AS the public
taste changes; still should advise you
10 plant at least half Baldwins.' but,
said the cultiyator, will not the market
oe overstocked with this kindy Without
nuticing the remark he said, Upon u
SECOND thought would plant three-quar-
.ers Baldwins; ) and scarcely giving time
for reply, lie sand, Plant ali Baldwins;
there is no other apple that will pay"
Mr.. Hoyey further remarks in regard to
I.is apple: The Baldwin needs NO
praise but take this opportunity To say
.haU believe it t0 be the most perfect ap-
pie ever produced either abroad OF vt
nome." MIR. Charles Downing, in answer
to an inquiry AS to the variety of apples
TO plant in starting an orchard OF one
Thousand trees, gave the following list:
Three hundred Baldwin, one hundred
each OF Rhode Island Greening, Golden
Russet OF New York, Roxbury Russet;
fiiIy each of Red Russe,, Peck Pleasant,
Northern Spy, Jonathan, llubbardston,
Nonesuch. Porter, Grayenstein and Red
Astracllan." Abundant other testimony
tending To show the superiority Of the
BALDWIN apple as II market variety and
Tor profit might be adduced, but 1t Is un-
necessary. II is generally admitted that
where the Baldwin thrves IL has few OF
NO superiors as regards proht.
