moves on with much ess shrinkagc or embar-
rassmcnt than might be expected. The farmers
are putting in seed for crops rs large as those OF
1880. and the closing of many manufacturing
establishments still leaves the volume of produc-
ton very large. But the commercial classes
feel less confidence, as they sec season alter
season pass without q revival OF genuine ana
lasting activity. and the feeling Is increasing
that in some way legislation has brought the
country into trouble. The manufacturers,
though they still produce largely, have to face
phenomcnally low prices FOR most products, ana
feel the oppression Of uncertainty as to Con-
grcssiOnal action.
The railroads have not settled their contlo-
vcrscs, but are again said to have made pro-
gress toward settlement. In the Union PacIhc
and Burlington and Quincy controversy, tins

pletely the movement of anthracite has been under
the control of few persons The statement of
points to which the coal was shipped is much

This table confirms remarks hitherto made by MS
as to the magnitude of the exports, the increasing
demand at the West, and the relative decline in
New England. This year, Judging from imperfect
reports, the Western shipments and the exports to
Canada have further increased, in part because of
the improved facilities for handling at lake ports,
while the New-Engand demand has furthur de-
cined, mainly because Of the substitution of BIZ
luminous coal in some important manufacturing
contracts.

The amateur lacrosse players who hope to
cover themselves with gl,V in England and
Ireland this summer made an excellent record
last week in the first games they played rs
team. In the contest with the Yale students they
showed what careful training they had had in
the gymnasium during the winter, but it was
also clear that they needed more practice in
order to understand one anothers play. In
the game at Cambridge great improvement
was noticeable and it was evident that an ex-
cellent lot of men had been selected TO test the
skill and strength of the English players.
The practice they will get during the present
week will dd1btless make their game nearly
perfect.

Mrs. Polly Herring, eighty-three years
old, died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs Wright, on the 18th inst. Her home
formerly had been in Mondovi, this state,
where she was well and favorably known
as woman of large ability, great
strength of character, a genial companion,
loving friend and a tender mother.
The had been living with her daughter
here since the holidays, and had been a
sufferer from dropsy, a disease from which
it was evident from the first she would
not recover in her extreme age. But
death had no terrors for her. She wait
ed its coming as eagerly, and as joyfully
as the expectant bride the bridegroom.
She was full of years, but full too, of
hope and of heavenly consultations. She
gained many friends in her short stay
with us, who went in to sympathize with
her, but who returned instructed, and
blessed by her presence. We mourn
a friend as dead; but she is only gone
before. She sleeps the sleep that knows
no earthly waking. Yet we cannot be
persuaded, but that in a better country,
her eyes behold the king in His beau
ty;;" and that her wearied soul has found
rest in the Getty of God" 4

such person:
A few days ago country man came
into cur town with a few pounds of
strained honey for sale, and soon got
into an animated conversation with
"some of the boys" on the subject of bees
and honey. He told them that there
were few "lucky-born" people who
could handle or do anything with bees,
and that the bees knowing they had
found their master, would submit to any
indignity, and not dare to sting" He al
so told them that he was one of those
fortunate ''few" and he Just expatiated
upon the subject until an old colored
man told him, $50 way from here boss,

''boys" that he could back up his word,
