The apple crop is generally reported less
than an average for bearing year but as far
az we have observed in this county we should
say there is full average yield. We have
seen limbs break down with the weight Of
apples as we were passing an orchard on the
road, and trees that bore heavily last year are
in some cases again loaded with fruit, so that
the limbs have to be propped up to keep them
from breaking. A few of the trees, however,
that were 30 heavily loaded last year have no

When the rain comes at last after long
drought no one can have failed to notice how
quickly the landscape changes, the Drowned
surface becoming, often in few hours, a
lively green. The change is of course more
noticeable in the spring or before the mid
summer season has past, but the sudden
growth Of grass at any time before freezing
weather when plenty of rain follows drought
seems to suggest that the soil may in some
way be benefited by an occasional thorough
drying. In any case a drought is not always
an unmixed evil to the farmer. 1t gives an
opportunity TO clean up swamps and wet
places and to improve them by drainage; to
get muck or dry earth to be used as an alb
sorbent in the stables to collect and put un-
der cover for fuel the wooden rubbish about
the premises the fallen limbs in the woodlot
and what would otherwise be waste-any.
thing that is wood will burn if put in the

drought happens when the grain or the corn
is in the stock it is sure to be well cured.

BERLIN. May 29-The committee appointed
by the Reichstag to consider the subject OF the
taxation of liquors has decided TO increase the
spirit tax generally, but will propose further
modification of the tax on malt liquors. The
report of the committee is not ready, and will
not be presented to the Reichstag until after the
Whitsuntide recess. Herr Windthorst and the
other members of the Center party desire to
postpone the discussion of the bill until the
autumn. They concede that a provisional law is
required in order to meet the pressing financial
exigencies The Progressists and Socialists will
support the demand of the center party for
postponement of the debate on the spirit meas
ure The Conservative members of the COM
mittee urge that further modification be made,
alleging that the project in its present form
would be fatal TO the agricultural interests of the
country. Herr Scholz, Prussian Minister of
Finance, refuses to give the committee de-
government on the ground that it thoroughly
understands the position in which the govern
ment is placed.
Among the signs indicating the end of the Kul
turkampf are the facts that the Bishop of
Breslau has sent the presidents of the provinces
of Silesia, Brandenoerg and Pomerania lists OF
the names Of the priests about to be appointed
to parishes in these provinces that the bishop OF
Limberg has sent similar list to the authorities
of Nashua; that the Catholic Seminary at Bres-
lau has been reopened, and that all the Catholic
colleges for boys throughout Prussia will soon
be open.
1t is expected that minor state of siege will
be established at Neuminster. The masons
are threatening to strike, and 1t is feared that
trouble may arise unless martial law be declared.
Prince Bismarck has sent a communication to
the government at Brussels on the threatened
Socialistic demonstration of 5000 workingmen
on the 18th of June.

Dr. o. N. Metcalf, Secretary State Board of Health:
Dear Sir-Tae tissue of Measurements of facts
contained in the Journal of May %, in regard to
what said and did on the occasion of the recent
meeting of the State Board of Health, would
have been answered by me st once, only that l
have been too sick, until now. to do so.
I noticed that you, in part, corrected these
misstatements in the Sunday journal, but as
am still misrepresented by you and the Board of
Health in your report to US, and by yourself in
the statements you made in the journal this
morning, l take this occasion to state in writ
ing the facts in the case.
In the report of the State Board of Health
you say. 1--WE have been informed by one Of the
members Of your Jour board, that many OF the
defects which existed at the time of our inspec-
tons have since been corrected and that others
are contemplated" My name was not men
toned, but as ! was the member of our board
that met with your board it is understood am
the one referred to. / say most positively that
did not make any statement TO you, or to your
board. in words or effect from which any such
deductions could be made, or that would be any
grounds whatever for your board to make the
statements quoted from your report. | admitted
that an error had been made by the contractor
in connecting vent pipes with fue having CRATE
openings. I stated that this work had been
done without authority, and had been properly
corrected as soon as known by order of the
architect. made no statement that other de-
fects had been or would be corrected and all
said or intimated by you or your board, to the
contrary of this, is utterly without foundation
in fact. While in the building. some one of your
board said he understood that we were going TO
vent the closet-traps by means of the safe waste
pipes; / gave most positive denial to this,
and stated that it was not now, and never had
been, our intention to vent the traps in this
way. But notwithstanding ali / said then, and
ON previous occasions this subject, all that is
said in the specifications, copy of which you
had before you. which had been printed moie
than 2 year before this controversy arose. and
which should be taken as good credence. you
persist in your report to our board in treating
and speaking CT this matter correction
and change" from our Original plans.
When we returned to your Office. from the
State house. you read the Dunn" letter to me-
made verbal answers to all the specifications,
but did not admit that there any truth or
point in any of the charges of defects mentioned
by him, except the one before mentioned l
therefore say, again, that all you have said or
animated, to my admission of defects in the
plumbing that had been or would be corrected,
is utterly without any foundation in fact
