There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek.

goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.

NAMES CROPS.
The Outlook Favorable for Hay,
Grain, Etc.

&C L. NJ" writes the Boston Journal
that that the hay crop in Maine has been
severely affected by the dry weather Of this
spring and summer, and had it not been for
the rains of last week, it would not have ay-
eraged throughout the State more than three
fourths of crop. After the rains, which
visited all parts of the State, there was a
marked change for the better, and if the
present favorable conditions continue there
will be an average crop. There is practically
no old hay left in the State for the farmers
to fall back upon, and the present crop must
be depended upon to carry their flocks and
herds through next winter. On account Of
the low price of wool, and the short crop Of
hay last year, the number of sheep kept by
the farmers of the State has been diminished
during the past two years, and if the hay
crop had not been brought up to about an
average many farmers would have disposed
of nearly all their sheep during the coming
autumn. Last winter grass suffered severe
ly in several of the counties. Many of the
reports received from Aroostook Franklin,
Lincoln, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis,
Sagadahoe and Somerset counties speak Of
large tracts oi winter-killed grass land. In
Waldo, Washington and Cumberland coun-
ties the hay crop looked well, notwithstand-
ing the drouth and the prospect now is for
better crop than last year in Waldo and
Washington counties. In several of the
counties mixed grain crops are being sowed
each year and are found very valuable for
feed, and a good supplement to the hay
crop.
The estimated condition and yield is as
follows in the several counties:

ing and prophetic in its broad outlook seeing
not alone probable success but recognizing
also possible defeat. At the close of his in
teresting paper, Rev. Mr.. Hill was called on
for the report of the committee ON general
secretary.
Mr.. Hill said the committee were unani-
mously in feeling the need of general sec
retary. They believe a salary of $500 should
be paid for the work required. Only a small
part had been subscribed and they did not
feel authorized to proceed further without
at least$500 being pledged. Without intending
it the speaker found himself in the position
of the professional money raiser. The next
half hour was one Of the most interesting Of
the whole session. Mr.. Hill is an ideal beg
gar, keeping every one in a high good hui
NOR, the audience proved equally good Civ
ers, $1200 were pledged and the general sec
retary is an assured fact. The dOxol0gy was
then sung with will. The choice of a suit
able person deyolves upon the committee
and Will be decided at no distant date. On
account of the lateness of the hour Rev.
Messrs. Lowden and Dickinson begged that
their papers might be omitted and the ques-
ton box opened without further delay.
The questions were read by Rev. F. E.
Clarke. When about half finished the ad-
vance guard of furious thunder shower
compelled the audience to beat hasty re-
treat.
Rev. 0. P. Clifford, d. D., Boston, Mass,
delivered an interesting address in the even

was much smaller than it would otherwise

HELL GATE.
How the Work of Removing Flood
Rock is to be Carried Out.

Nearly ten years have passed since the
roof at Hallett's Point, Hell Gate, was re-
moved by the explosion of a mine. This ex-
plosion took place in September, 1875, result
ing in marked improvement of that APP
proaeh to New York harbor. When it be-
came evident at Halletts Point that the
work of undermining and removing such
lodges was practicable steps were taken for
the removal of the large reef known as Flood
Rock, and in the summer of 1875, the first
shaft was sunk there. Since then work has
been continued with some interruptions, and
it is now so nearly completed that the great
explosion which will remove the reef lis ex-
pected to take place in October next. There
have been cut in the rock 1,670 feet of gale
rieS, and while this mining has been in pro-
gress steam pumps have been constantly at
work keeping the excavations free from
water. In the roof of the mines there have
been drilled 1900 holes, each three inches in
diameter and nine feet long, in which are to
be placed the explosive cartridges. During
the progress of the work S0160 cubic yards
of rock were cut out and carried off through
the shaft. The work remaining to be done
is to clear up the galleries and place the ex-
plosives. A comparatively new explosive
called rackarock will be chiefly used. 1t is a
compound of di-nitro benzole, which is pro-
duct of the distillation of coal tar, and chic
rate of potash, both of which are harmless
when separate, and which can be compound
ed on the spot. OF this compound 225. 900
pounds win be used, together with 10000
pounds of No. l dynamite. The cartridges
will be soldered and will be exploded by cleo
tric illuminate primers When the mine is
loaded the galleries Will be filed with water
and then the explosion will take place. 1t
will be, of course, much greater one than
that of ten years ago, when 1890 pounds of
dynamite were used. tits estimated that the
entire cost of the work, including that of re-
moving the debris after the explosion, will
be about $1,O00,000.

Juries That Will Not Accept Testi-
noony of Law and Order Agents.

Boston, July 9.-There was an unusual
scene in the Superior Criminal Court this
morning, the results of which will attract
the attention not only of the members of the
legal fraternity, but Of all citizens This
eases brought forward on evidence of
Messrs. Snow and Giguel, two of the enl-
ployes of the Law and Order League. Six
cases in succession came before the two
juries and though the evidence of the agents
was direct and the arguments of the Assis-
tant District Attorney so forcible and logical
as to call forth much favorable comment,
still the juries acquitted four of the accused
men and Judge Aldrch stopped the court re-
fusing to allow any further cases of similar
would be useless since the juries were de-
termined not to accept the testimony of the
two agents.
