At Boston the Portlands easily defeated
the Boston Blues yesterday simply because
they were able to make a necessary hit when
the men were on the bases and the Blues
couldn't. The playing on both sides was
about even, the features of the game being

WASHINGTON, July 12.-There is little
prospect that the river and harbor bill will
reach the President for approval, and almost
absolute certainty that if it should it will be
vetoed. The adoption by the Senate today
of the Hennepin canal amendment has set
tied its fate so far as hope is concerned; it is
the wish of the President that the bill shall
be smothered in the House when it gets there
with Senate amendments, and to this end he
has been in consultation with members OF
theHouse committee today. He much prefers
that the House should shoulder for him the
responsibility of killing the bill, for it con-
tains an item of 81. 100000 for the improve
ment of New York harbor, which, for obyi-
GUS reasons he does not care to be compelled
to veto. The items for Portland harbor and
Back bay will of course fail with the rest of
the bill ard improvements cannot be begun
for another wear.

A Case OF kidnapping.

AUGUSTA, July 12.-Last week two girls,
aged 16 and years respectively, and inmates
eff the Industrial School for Girls at Halo
well, were kidnapped from that institution.
They are sisters Of John and Cora Carson of
Togus. John and Cora visited the school
one day and talked with the girls, at which
time it is supposed arrangements were made
for the kidnapping. At all events, the same
night the girls disappeared from their room,
and tracks were found under the window.
They have not been seen since and cannot
be found. Thursday, John Carson was ar
rested by Officer Ames Of Chelsea and City
Marshal Maddox of Hallowell. The prison
er was arraigned before Judge Knight of
Hallowell, and bound over in the sum of
800. George and Mary Carson, the parents
of John, were brought before the court for
stealing the children from the Industrial
School about year ago. The former was
discharged and Mary bound over.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

If MANURE is to be used IN the orchard
it should never be fresh. or such as will
quickly ferment. That which has been
thoroughly composted. or well decompss-
cd, is best. Wood mold, mixed with lime
and ashes, has been found excellent. and
the better the manure in fneness of con
dition and freedom from decomposing
matter, the less liability of the trees to
disease

With rosy cheeks and Jacket blue,
Laughing and chattering full of JOY.

And I'm sure the glad young heart had cause
To utter the sweet Of the lovely words.

That life for her was an uphill road.

Think what comfort YOU might give
