Papers Stolen.

A citizen writes: "A paper boy by the name of Moses Isaac, 104 Asylum street, started out early yesterday morning with $3 worth of papers, all done up and tied up in fine shape. He laid them down in front of house near the corner of Park and Grown streets to step in back of house moment to leave paper and when he returned some sneak thief had stolen them and gone. Two of the papers were marked: One Herald, 315 Orchard street; one Press, 19 Beers street. If some good citizen chanced to buy either of the above marked papers and sees notice of this loss and has any way of knowing who the culprit is, if he will send word to the above number he will confer favor, as the loser would like to bring the guilty one to justice"

There May Be a Lively Time At the
 Meeting of the Board of Aldermea
 To-Nighr.
 The board of aldermen, with it's new mem bers. will hold the first meeting in 1889 to- night. There is question ss to whether everything will be as harmonious as it should, although the Republican members say there is no reason fer alarm, ss every one on their side of the house will stand firm. A president, page, an assistant city clerk and two members of the board of finance. The board stands 12 Republicans and 12 Democrats, but the mayor has the dissolving vote and he is @ Republican. This, of course, means that the Republicans will get there, unless one Republican can be successfully worked up by convincing Demo srats. Somebody has raised the point that the mayor, under the city charter, has not the right to vote. J. B. Futile is the Re- publican candidate for assistant city clerk, and Edward Cahil1 the Democratic. Mr. Cahill thinks he has fighting chance of get ting the appointment. Alderman Gessner Is the Republican and Alderman Sheehan the Democratic nominee for the board of finance. Republicans say that everything will pass of with the greatest harmony.

These suggestions on corn planting from
the American Agricultural are timely :
When the ground is dry, corn requires a
heavier and tirmer covering. 1t is sometimes
said that the later the planting the
heavier and hrmer should be the covering .
but this is true only so far as it h Ids good
that the later in the season the DRYER the
ground Sometimes the ground contains
more moisture in May than in April then
the May covering should be the lighter and
lOo.er. Generally, however. toward the
close of the planting season the ground has
lost so much moisture that not only should
the covering be heavy, but it may we'll be
compacted by stroke with the hoe or even
by tramplng upon it. If the planting is
done With two horse planter, the runners
are properly sat to 20 deeper and the tirming
action of the wheels is not disturbed. In
fact, if the ground is unusually dry, it is adj
vissble to go over the field with heavy
roller two days after the corn j. planted
Termination has not yet reached the state
where the displacement of the earth by the
roller will prove Injurious to the corn, while
this displacement will kill myriad. of weeds
that have just started near the surface. If
used early enough, a roller is a good weed
destroyer II. on the other han |, the ground
i, damp, as it is most likely TO be early in
the season, less covering is required. and the
covering should not be compacted with the
hoe or foot If the planting is done with a
two-horse planter, the harrow should follow
close after, to loosen the covering compaeteh
by the wheels. The amount and density Of
the covering should also be modified by the
character of the soil. A light, loose soil
therefore one that drie. cut rapiily-may
well be compacted above the seed when a
heavy, ciayey soil should be k, pit loose; and
the covering of the former should be heavier
than of the latter. The general principle is
that the covering should be sufficient to keep
moisture about the seed, but not of a char
acter to retain an excess of moisture or to
shut out the warmth of the sun; and the
shallowe.t covering that will secure the

so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively automatically
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-fathers
in times past So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grsndfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system.

IT is practically settled that there shall be
no electric road this year. we'd known
gentleman, identified with the ente rprise,
talked thus to Journal man yesterday
We are AS enthusiastic for a road az ever,
but careful investigation has convinced US
that for the present its construction is i'm
practicable Thus far none of the electric
roads constructed have proved a brilliant
success The one at the West End of Bos-
ton though it carries crowds of passengers
and is very popular is sinking its owners
money every day Within twenty -four
hours last week on this roa six motors were
burned out and rendered almost absolutely
valueless. Why, the loss of a single motor
would eat up all the profits which the most
sanguine prophet could predict for our road
Though the newspaper reports smooth The
matter over, in reality the cars on the Ban
gor railway won't run n all and though
larger motors will first be tired i, is probable
that it will either be given up entirely OF run
by horse power. The electric road scheme
il by no means abandoned however. Great
inventors are now at work on the motor and
1t is merely a question IF time when they
will be- cheaper and more efficient than At
present. If the improvement. come fast
enough we shall probably begin the building
of the road early in the next spring
