Some of our wise heads predicted that the
sweet corn would be failure, and it is true
that the frost has damaged our corn, but this
year has been one of our cold seasons and
nothing strange has happened. In 1887 the
10Th of June, our crops looked well, but on
that night the snow fell to depth of six
inches and everything was frozen to the
ground, and the same year corn was sold for
~ a bushel, and white corn at that, but our
farmers have planted and sowed ever since
aud, with few exceptions, have raised good
crops.

A. WRECKED VESSEL
Disappears Before Aid Can Reach Her

PORTLAND, Sept. 26.
Late this afternoon it was reported by tel
ephone from the Cape Elizabeth life saving
station that large vessel was observed in a
sinking condition about eight miles off that
point near Cod ledge. Only one mast of
the vessel was left standing and on that a
number of men were seen. The name and
rig Of the vessel could not be made our. She
was of large size and apparently could not
float much longer. The crew of the lie
saving station hal put out to rescue and the
tug Belkrat was asked to come to the assist
ance of the imperrilled men. The Belkrat
started at once for the scene, and meeting
the life saving crew the tug proceeded to
take them and their boat on board. The
waves were very high and broke over the
smoke stack. After cruising about three
hours the tug returned, having been able to
discover no trace whatever of any wreck.
