--latest Winter Wheat Reports

Latest Winter Wheat Reports.
The following is taken from the
Farmers Review published at Chicago
on June so, and is the result Of a sum-
mary. Of their crop reports up to the close
of last month: .. .~s
A few reports have been made that the
wheat crop would prove to be better than
has been estimated, yet what has devel-
oped to make any change In former
estimates as made by the Review on June
IA as to the yield of wheat, 5a0,00o,0O0
bushels, we confess we are at a loss to
know, All reports for the last fourteen
days have shown al increased develop
ment OF chess, a steady running down Of
the general prospects, and more or less
damage on account OF the Hessian fly.
Tennessee and Kentucky were the first
states that early in the season gave us
any idea Of the damage 10 the crop, They
are now the states that are harvesting,
and if reports from the other winter
wheat states are as bad as reports WHICH
have been received from these states as 10
yield Of winter wheat, at would look
today as if the lowest estimate ON The
crop was high one. Wheat Tor fall

The Industrial School for Girls.

In view of all the facts and considerations
bearing on the subject. we think the action
of the committee of the legislature on ed
ucation relating to the Maine Industrial
School for Girls at Hallowell, should COM
mend itself to all thoughtful and good citi-
zens; $4,000 to complete the new building
erected and so far paid for by private dona-
tons, is certainly not too liberal, especially
~ private benevolence will have TO be far
Their appealed to for the necessary furnishing
of the rooms. In view of the important
work being done by this institution, the sums
recommended to support its running ex-
penses in 1885 and 1886, are very moderate.
The committee seem to have exercised much
caution and prudence in their financial
recommendation and we hope their action
will receive the unanimous approval of the
legislatur-. OF all our reformatory institu-
tions none seems more successful or more
carefully managed than this. 1t is certainly
better and cheaper to rescue these helpless
children from peril and place them on the
road OF industrial education and usefulness,
than that they should grow up in vice and be-
come paupers and criminals. Other States
are doing much more than Maine in this re-

gard, and there are the best reasons Why the
new Home at Hallowell should be promptly
completed so that the pressing needs for more
rooms to receive those sent there under the
laws Of the State can be answered. Private
charity has contributed literally to the erec-
ton Of both buildings, and should the legis-
lature promptly ratify the course of the com
mittee in favor of completing the new house,
the best public opinion of the State will su'-
tain its action. The Industrial School for
Girls certainly has as strong reasons In it's
favor as the Reform School for Boys, though

Tie st. John Horse Burned on
edneSday Night.

About eleven o'clock Wednesday
night, the fire alarm again aroused our
citizens from their virtuous slumberS.
The old st. John House formerly
known as the cial''-opposite
the depot. was. discovered to be IN
flames. The first corners at the fire
found it had gained such Roadway
that nothing remained but to remove
as much of the furniture as possible.
The building was all wood and the fire
spread very rapidly from room to room.
In one room three girls were found
sleeping very peacefully and very
oundly, and had to be hustled out and
down stars very unceremoniously, in
sp1 te of their protests, in order to save
thel u.
Most of The furniture was gotten
out. 1ut in broken and damaged
conditi on.
At on,s time it looked very much as
if the INT ense heat would set the Elk
press rool1, across the railroad on fire.
Forum ate.'y, almost aldead calm pre-
vailed and the falling in Of the walls,
soon ended the danger.
We learn lat the building and Goa
tents was ms 1red for $1,000.
