THE CHOLERA.
The Lower Glasses Prejudiced Against
 Inc RhusfcS0nz


 MARsEILLEs, July 31.-The lower classes dislike and oppose the physicians because they have gotten the notion that the physi- c1ans have been instructed to help the cho1- era along in order to get rid of the surplus population. A paper read by medical man in Berlin, lauding the cholera as sweeping off beings united for the struggle of existedce, has been widely reproduced in France and has helped to prejudice the people against the doctors and to confirm them in their be- lief that the government has adopted views similar to those of the Berlin essayist An instance of the popular hostility toward the physicians occurred in this city yesterday. A doctor was going into the slums to attend a patient when he was confronted by party of the sick mans neighbors armed with knives, who chased him away and prevented his ministering to the sufferer.
 There were five deaths from cholera here today

Corner Stone Laying.

The corner stone of the new Christ church in Westport was laid yesterday afternoon. The base is to be of North Bridgeport blue stone, and the superstructure of North Haven brick. In the absence of Bishop Williams but by his request, Rev. Charles w. Selleck of St. Paul's church, Norwalk, from which parish Christ church sprang fifty years ago, laid the corner stone. The old church on the hill few rods distant was witness, as it were, of the days ceremonies, and seemed to speak, though of apparent regret, it's ap- proval of the acts this day performed which a few months hence will result in it's abso- lute desertion. The new church is on a hill and from it's front commands a view of the river and the Sound beyond. It will be ad- vanced rapidly to completion, but its con secration and occupancy for the regular ser vices will not transpire, it is thought, until Easter of next year

A Sad Case at Aries.

ARIES, France, July 31.-A sad incident in connection with the cholera panic hap pened recently near this city. A lad at work on a farm was seized with vomiting.
 The farmer refused to allow him to enter the house, and the poor fellow died in the field; without care and alone. When the father of the lad arrived, he was not permitted to place his sons body in the stable, but was forced to leave it in the open air while he went to the town to procure coffin. He then con veyed the body a wheelbarrow to the burial authorities, whos refused to give him assistance, and the father was finally com pelled to bury the body in the cemetery

FARMING IN NEW ENGLAND.
Interesting Facts Developed by
 Prize Contest.

Interesting Facts Developed by
 Prize Contest.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 31.-In March 1843, the New England Homestead, an agri- cultural newspaper, printed simple plan for keeping farm accounts and offered prizes for the best years report. Ninety contest ants began keeping accounts in April, 1883. Forty-two accounts for the year ended April, 1884, were submitted to the committee of award, composed of the secretaries of the boards of agriculture of the New England States, ex-President Stockbridge of the Mas sachusetts Agricultural college and the editor of the Homestead. The first prize, an $80 moving machine, was awarded to H. c. Russell of North Hadley, whose farm paid 19.2 per cent. profit on the capital invested after paying for all labor and other expenses, including the wages of the proprietor. Other prizes were awarded One account is given of a New Brunswick farm that paid almost six per cent. on a capital of $500. Out of the forty-two accounts returned thirty six show profits the capital in vested above all expenses Gncluding labor) of from one-half of one per cent to over forty per cent. The average of the thirty-six different farm accounts that show gain indicates profit of ten per cent on a total capital of $160,0O0 Six accounts show loss af from one-quarter of one per cent. to 12 per cent. The average on the six amounts is $ per cent. loss on total capital of $22, 300. The average for the whole for ty-two accounts is net profit of per cent on an invested capital of $182, 800. The losses shown in the six accounts were ascribed almost wholly to the unprecedented drought, of last year following upon the similar disaster of the previous year. This is the first record ever made or published giving the facts and fig ures of the business of New England farming The showing is 8 most remarkable one, the more so when it is remembered that the season of 1883 was one of the worst ever known in New England. The Homestead asserts that in ordinary seasons New Eng land farms will pay 12 per cent,
