Our Sherman Mills correspondent writes /:
The hay crop will be light. But little old
hay is summered over, and the prospect is q
scarcity of hay and prices for it will rule
high. Late sown crops seem a long time
coming up on account Of the drought, and
the earlier sown has attained but small
growth.

the day.

Wednesday eleven tons, or 300 sacks, of

was owing to the fact that publishers had

Graduation of the Class of 1895.

The class of 1885 Portland High School
held its graduation exercises at City Hall
yesterday afternoon.
The hall was prettily decorated by the
class of sc. Bunting was festooned at the
rear Of the stage, and on the front of the
platform, and caught up, after the design of
canopy, to the ceiling over the reading
desk. From the centre of the canopy de-

bordered with evergreen and bearing, on
dark ground, in pink and white flowers,

flowers, bouquets stood on the reading desk,
and on the front of the desk was horseshoe

roses and rich yari-colored pansies.
On the stage the class was seated together,
with Mayor Deering, Mr.. A. E. Chase, prin-
cipal of the school. Superintendent fash,
and the members of the school committee
The exercises of high order of excellence,
comparing fayorably with those of former
classes. The essays were well written and
delivered and the recitations and music
prophecies and valedictory, all reflected
credit on the speakers. The names of the
graduating class have been published in the

Just prior to the awarding of the Brown
medals, Mayor Deering took occasion to say
that it had been said to him by numbers of
the guests present at the late Grand Army

word of praise for the courteous and gentle
manly manner with which the fifty boys of
the High School escorted them from the cars
to their destinations in Portland. His Honor
in his own behalf, and in that of the city,
desired to also express thanks to the lads.
He then awarded the Brown medals to the

The Cow PoIsoner Brought to Trial.

The Cow PoiSoner Brought to Trial.
Our readers will remember that a few
weeks ago two cows belonging to Henry
Weinberg, who resides at Cape Elizabeth,
died from, as it was believed, the effects of
poison administered in potatoes, the vege-
tables having been left in Weinberg's pas
ture Potatoes filled with Paris green had
been discovered in the pasture after quarrel
which occurred between Weinberg and a
neighbor named Thomas G. Cooper, in May,
and again in June. On the Saturday after
the cows died, in June, the selectmen placed
the affair in the hands of Detective Eben n
Perry. Mr.. Perry worked up the case, the
result of which was the arrest of Cooper and
his trial before Justice Robinson, in that
town, at the Court House yesterday after
noon.
There were six witnesses called by the
prosecution, and their testimony went to
show that there had been quarrels between
Weinberg and Cooper, and that the latter
had declared he would fix the former; the
finding of Paris green in Cooper's stable,
and potato prepared like those found In
Weinberg's pasture; and an analysis of the
stomach of one of the dead cows by State
Assayist s. l.. Hitchings of Biddeford, stat
ing he found arsenic permeating the tissues
of the stomach.
Cooper offered no evidence in rebuttal and
Trial Justice Robinson found probable cause
and ordered him to recognize in $1,000 for his
appearance at the September term of the
Superior Court. Failing in this he was COM
mitted.
The case has excited great attention in
Cape Elizabeth and too much credit cannot
be afforded Detective Perry for the patient,
skilful and careful manner in which he has
worked up the case, rivetting his links of
evidence until his chain was complete.

This institution will graduate its third
class this friday afternoon. The exercises
will consist of declarations, essays and
music, after which the diplomas will be

The class of 'S5, though small in number,

will insure for after life the success of each
member. This school, notwithstanding its
youthful age, has advanced wonderfully
under the efficient management of Mr. WV.
Curtis, A. NJ, and must soon take its place
among the first of its character in the State
