The burning of st. Johns Male Orphan
Asylum, at Brooklyn, on Thursday of last
week, was heart rending disaster. A
number of visitors were in the building,
when the fire occurred, two of whom, with
twenty-five or more little boys, perished.-
Sister Mary Josephine, one of the ladies
engaged in taking care of the children, died
from her injuries, Thursday afternoon, after
her removal to the hospital. Fifteen or TWEEN
ty boys are still missing, some of whom, it is
feared, persisted in the flames. The scenes
were agonzing in the extreme. Fathers and
mothers searched among the survivors for
their boys, and in one case mother became
insane through excessive joy at finding her
boy was safe.
Surely, here is an opportunity for the ex-
ercse of that charity which the Christmas
season should call forth.

THE LATE COLD SNAP-The cold wave, as
predicted by the Signal Service, moved down
upon US, last week, with chilling effect Early
Friday morning the thermometer was down to
six degrees, and while it moderated little dur
ing the day, on Saturday morning about half
past one O'Clock, the thermometer at Sweets
Hotel indicated one degree and a-haIf below
zero. Saturday was an extremely cold day, the
thermometer being way below the freezing point
all day. At night it began to snow, in fine par.
tces at first, but afterwards it fell fast and fu.
riousy, giving promise of sleighing. A rise in
temperature, however, took place before morn.
ing and the snow came mingled with sleet.
Sunday, in consequence, was very disagreeabe
day, and the churches in the country, as gen
eral thing, were without congregations. Monday
also, was another inclement day. The streets
and sidewalks in Bel Air were covered with ice,
and pedestrians were obliged to keep their heads
level, In order to stand upright.
The Susquehanna river, Friday morning, was
entirely covered with ice, between Lapidum AID

menced which, if followed up, will in few
years make the road as safe and comfortable for
travel as any railroad in Maryland. The general
stagnation in business has affected the Maryland
Central as it has every other railroad, but with
revival of business it will also feel the benef
cial effects in an increase of freights. The road,
1t is believed, will soon be in a condition to pay
the interest on its bonded Indebtedness and at
the same time carry out the projected improve
ments.

NICK's FLORAL GUIDE.-Mark Twain visited
Rochester, n. Y, lately, and delivered one of
his humorous lectures to large audience. In
deed the inhabitants of the Flower City are re
ported to have ''laughed till the tears ran down
their cheeks" Speaking of the Flower City re-
minds us of a curious coincidence. Many years
ago Rochester was one of the largest milling
centres in New York State, and because of its
extensive business and widespread reputati
received the cognomen of 1.-THE Flour City,"
James Wick, known as the Veteran Scotsman of
America, selected Rochester as his home, and
there established the mammoth business which
has made his name familiar in almost every
household in the country. Others encouraged
by his success, also selected Rochester as base
for their operations, until now the city enjoys
tie reputation of being the largest "fower" pro-
ducing centre in America. Perhaps the greatest
secret of James Weeks success was his honest
dealing and the excellent quality of his Seeds and
still another explanation of it lays in the popu-
larity enjoyed by his very practical and always
beautiful Seed Catalogue, Pick's Floral Guide
The 1885 number Of this valuable book has just
come to hand, with its bright flower frontis-
piece, elegant Autographed cover, and 200 or
more Illustrations. 1t is certainly handsome
enough to make it worthy place on the sitting
room table, and is worth many times the 10
cents asked for it; indeed, even that may be de-
Quoted from the first order for seeds.

The Tomato Pack of 1854.


From review of the tomato pack of The
United States for 1884 published in the Ameri-
can Grocer, il appears that there has been II all
ing off of 922, 402 cases AS compared with 1855,
which, it is stated, is wholly due to to the clos
ing of the farmer packng-huuses in Hartford
county, Md, and the shrinkage in Delaware.
The acreage was heavily decreased in Marya
Delaware and Ohio, slightly in New Jersey and
New York. West of the Mississippi the crop was
larger than usual, of fine quality, and the season
very favorable for the majority Of packers.
This, however, was INADEQUATE to overcome the
loss inevitable in Mary land aud Delaware
lhrough.a smaller crop and II diminished num-
Der of packers.
Throughout the Middle States the crop was
greatly diminished by prolracted drought, but
The still frost was late and the deficiency Was
therefore not so great as might have been eX-
pected from the unusually dry weather, The
problem before the Gamers is stated to be 1.-THE
relation of the regular to the farmer-packer."
The aid given by caDmakers to farmers by sup
plying cans and cases against packed goods un-
nalura ly stimulated the industry When the
reaction came the acreage in Hartford was cut
down tremendously. In some localities not
more than one out of five packing-houses was
operated.
The Grocer takes the side of the regular pack
ers as against the business methods of the far
mer packer, and says: 1.-The average Hartford
farmer is deficient in a technical knowledge of
packing. Their methods are not ihs best. They
fall in processing, IN the treatment of the raw
stock before canning, and in treatment after the
fruit ia sea ed in the cans" These alleged
faults, however, may be ques Toned; for it is
very well known among consumers that the
Hartford brands are in high estimation, as are
the canned goods of Montgomery, Anne Arun-
del and other farmer and regular packers Of this
State.
AS to the outlook for the coming year, the
Grocer says that II general business revives there
is no good reason why the price of romatoes
should not advance The tomato pack in Mary
land for 1884 was 472,020 cases, us against
1880 in 1888. Mary and ranks second in
,he list of tomato packing States for the past
year, New Jersey being first, although in the
previous year Maryland packed more than twice
as many cases as the next highest State The
total pack In the United States for 1884 was
202l III cases, or AZ, sos, 24S cans of tomal oes

FRIGHTENED OUT OF THEIR HoUsE.-A man
