NEW ENGLAND WEATHER,
And Its Effect Upon the Crops in the
Several States.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 2.-The New
England Meteorological Society furnishes
the following report concerning the weather
and the condition of growing crops for
the week ending June 20, 1888:
The rainfall was about the average in near
ly all districts, slight excess having been
reported from northern New England and a
deficiency in the southern portion; it was
well distributed and the effect favorable.
The temperature has been about the aver
age in Maine and Massachusetts, and above
in Vermont and Connecticut, with favora-
BILE result. In New Hampshire it was below
the average and the effect was somewhat un-
favorable for the advancement of the back
ward crops.
Ihere was an average amount of sunshine
ana the effect favorable in all States except
New Hampshire, where the excess of cloudi-
aess had tendency to retard the growth of
some OF the crops.
Reports from observers indicate that at
Brunswick, Me-, the rain of the past week
was timely and crops are looking well, but a
little late. Grass has improved very much
since the rain. AT East Sumner, Me-, the
rain IN the early part of the week was much
needed and will be of much benefit to all
crops, hay in particular. At Hanover, N
H., there were several heavy showers, beat
ing down tne nay crop. The ground is very
wet and little haying has been done. At
Cornwall, VT, the hay crop is bound to be
heavy, the rains of the past week making it
certain. AT West Craftsbury, VT, potatoes
and all growing crops are looking we'll. The
prospects are favorable for fully an average
hay crop. At Chelsea, VT, the rains of the
week were abundant and the supply equal to
the demand. Grass ON low lands claims an
excess and a check in growth. At Brattle-
Doro, W., the grass looks fine. Corn is two
weeks behind on the hills, and on the low
lands it is about up to the average. At
Southampton, Mass, the abundant rains of
the season have made the hay crop unusually
good and the pastures were never better
The warm weather:of the past week has been
very favorable and crops have grown rapidly.
AT Taunton, Mass. the conditions for crops
are very favorable The hay crop is just be-
ginning to be secured. At Bethlehem, Conn,
everything is growing finely but week be-
hind the average time. At Waterbury, Conn,
the extremely hot and dry weather has se-
riously affected the hay crop, and the pros
poets are not so favorable as at the time of

Those Italian ouarrymen.


AUGUSTA, July 2.-Labor Commissioner
Matthews has lately returned from the Somes
Sound stone quarries, from which complaint
was received that the italian stone cutters
were driving out the native workmen. He
found about fifty Italians employed there
who received the same wages on piece work
that the other men do. They were hired in
New York, so it was said, because sufficient
American stone cutters could not be OBJ
tanned when there was a rush of work.
The Italians not being contracted for in a
foreign land there was no infringement of
the contract labor law. From what could be
learned the owners of the quarries would
have employed native workmen if they could
have been found, giving them first class
wages.
