Members of the American Seed Trade
Association at Chicago, spent most of their
time on Wednesday in talking about the new
postal treaty with Canada, whereby seeds
sent from Canada are carried in the United
States mail for four cents pound, while
the regular rate is l6 cents a pound. This
discrimination against their business they
claim is hurting it seriously. A committee
was appointed to act in the matter.
Deacon Isaac Bronson and wife of Poke
vile, near Forestville, Conn, were found
dead in their farmhouse Thursday morning.
The woman's head was hanging by shred
and Bronson's throat was horribly gsshed by
u razor which lay on the floor. The theory
is that Bronson, ir fit of insanity, symp-
toms of which he has already exhibited, cut
his wife's head off with an axe, and then cut
his own throat. A broken pitcher in the
room gave rise to the belief that he first
stunned the woman by q blow.

Fire was discovered about $50 O'Clock
Thursday morning in a story and . half

Lockwood Company and occupied BY Frank
Vollier and one or two other tenants. Two
streams were thrown upon the FIRE from the
hydrants and the blaze was mostly confined
to the interior of the building. The loss to
the building will probably not exceed three
hundred dollars. The loss on the furniture,
although not amounting to large sum, will
be severely felt by the tenants. who are poor

NEW ENGLAND CROPS.
Encouraging Reports from all Sections.

BOsTON, June IA.
The New England Farmer of this week
has received replies from several hundred
correspondents in various parts of New
England in relation TO the crop prospects
and will publish replies from quite number.
The general outlook is extremely encourag-
ing. Grass on the whole never was looking
better and is almost as well advanced as us
ual. Indications point to a crop even larger
than that Of last year. There are complaints
however of winter killing which come from
some parts of Maine. The most encourag-
ing reports are from Vermont
The season is from a week to ten days late
in cultivated crops the season having been
so cold and wet as to delay the planting
The acreage will not vary very much from
the amount and proportions which have been
planted in recent year. There will be fewer
potatoes planted on the whole, as the rot and
bugs last year made many farmers discour-
aged aud they will plant only enough for
h me consumption. There is tendency tu
increase the amount of corn grown. The
high prices of western corn, together with
the increasing popularity of the slo system,
encourages this. In some sections canning
establishments have been built which largely
increases the production of sweet corn.
Quite number of correspondents report al
increased acreage of beans. Fruit and Der.
ries promise large yield.

ORoxo, June IA.
The attendance at college was rather slim
yesterday afternoon, owing to the ball game
al Bangor between the Bowdoins and the
home team, which all knew would be excit-
ing in the extreme, and the result of which
highly important.
When the result became certainly known,
what few students there were left here were
almost wild with joy. They got to the viii
lage in short order, and when the train ar
rived torch lights and band instruments were
brought into use and the town painted red
with the queerest conglomeration of paints
cheers, college yells, music, bonfires and a
great display of fireworks, in fact almost
anything that was noisy or that would give a
light.
Now were they to blame? 8 to isn't a
bad score to get from a team that came up
here with such longing for "blood, and
such a confidence in getting it.
Perhaps the NJ S. C.'s needn't say much,
though; for the Bowdoins have beaten them
twice out of three times; but it should be
remembered that our nine labored under
very serious disalvant age during the 6rst OF
the season-the time in which the Bowdoin
victories were made-in having had no prac-
tice. Our diamond is about the slOwest To
dry off of any in the spring, and SO our prac-
tice before the league games begun was not
worth reckoning.
Our boys had no gymnasium good for any
thing as did the others, the Bowdoins, fol-
instance, whose gym nasium is to ours as
Chicago elevator to a seven bushel grain
box, and in which they could practice run

any thing else they wished, while our nine

cent amusement with dumb bells and Indian
clubs few weeks before the opening of the
AS much practice of this kind was not taken
as might have been, which is perhaps the
fault of tine boys themselves. This college
has never been noted for hard work in ball
training, and though the work has been since
the season commenced somewhat better
than common, it cannot be compared with
that of other colleges. Only two more games
remain for US, one at Waterville with Bates
next Saturday, and postponed game with
Colby at Watervile.
