been reached at the time of adjournment.
May z. Sullivan vs.. the Maine Cen,r.
Railroad Company. Heath and Tuell TO,
plaintiff. Wilson aud Woodland for defend
UNITS. This is an action to recover for per
sonal injuries received on account of ar
alleged defect in railroad crossing of the
defendants in Burnham, the damage claimed
beiug $4,000. The plaintiff is 80 year. OF
age and at the time Of the alleged injury va.
in the service of e defendants as telegraph
operator az the Durham Junction station
and had been for four or FIVE years. She
claims that on a Sunday in August, 1883,
while riding with her brother for the purpose
of taking the air, with a safe and suitable
team, and while driving at moderate rate
OF speed, the horse, without any fault on the
part Of her brother Who vas driving, caught
one of bis fore feet between a rail and plank
as they were passing the crossing just north
Of the railroad station and west Of the main
line, which threw him down and threw her
and her brother violently to the ground.
She claims that the crossing was defective
because there was space of nearly six
inches between the rail and the planking
which formed the road bed, and that the
planking itself was rotten that the horses
foot was caught so securely that plank had
TO be raised to release il. She also claims
that she vas severely injured by the fall
that before the accident she was healthy
but that since she has suffered severely
from a weakly trouble which is probably
permanent, and that this condition of health
is the result of her fall that she vas en-
abled to continue in the employment of the
defendants by the assistance of her brother
for the first two years after the injury. and
with much difficulty maintained her position
there after that until February, 1888, when
she was discharged by the company for the
reason that on account of her sickness she
WAS unable to perform her duties to their
satisfaction; that she allowed her claim for
damages against the company to rest in
allegiance because not only she was in their
service but her father was employed as
foreman of that section. A commencement
unon the Testimony hat been made at the
time of adjournment.

Men will be judged BY the work they DO, BY
their promptness to duty, and their correct

De judge By the same standard as prevails
In all Of the great avenues of business. Any
person who strives by brain and hand TO

ing from this Service old and tried
ofhcials, solely for pontical reasons, has
worked To its detriment, and, beyond
the restoration of some of these in

and such as take no pride in the Service, |

we'll defined, and clearly proven. To this
end promise my best efforts. by their

Uncle Toms Cabin,

Of Uncle Toms Cabin which appears in
Granite Hall April 10 the Albany Argus says
Uncle Toms Cabin was given at the Leland
last evening in the presence of very large
sized audience, that seemed to enjoy the un-
folding of the play as we'll as if it was the
occasion of an original production. It does
seem rather strange that this time honored
drama should retain such firm hold
On the Electrically inclined public, but such
is the fact and there is no gsinssying it.
The production last evening was far above
the average, and was heartily applauded.
The jubilee singers, in particular, being
singled out for especial marks of approval.
This evening will bring the last performance.
Among the troupe are the original IIyer sis

Margaret Mather.

From the Detroit Tribune January Is, 1889 |
Margaret Mather opened a weeks engage
ment in her native city as Juiana in THE
Honeymoon at Whites Theatre last evening
The role is one of the most pleasing in which
Miss Mather appears, and the effect of the
tanning process in transforming the imperi
Gus, shrewish and rather pert daughter of
Bathazar into the tractable Duchess Aranza
is sho sn with perhaps added graces in the
successive stages of demonstration with which
the public is already familiar
The support left little to be
desired, even in tines when stars make it a
rule TO surround themselves with good sup
port. J, Is. Studley, we'll known and
capable actor, played Duke AranAa, and the
aristocratic airs assumed by ii. A. Weaver
as Jscquez as duke pro TEN during Aran-
za's absence, had very perceptible effect
on the audience. Charles IIagsrs Captain
Rolsnda, who rashiy frrswore feminine
society, was capital. Howard Kyle and
j. {. Radgett were respectively commenda-
BILE in the different roles of Count Mortal
ban and DR. Lamped. The Volante Of Mar
jore Bonner and the Ramona of Virginia
Marlowe were well PLAYED

The business of creating wealth from the
soil is as old as the human race, and this
occupation must employ many millions more
of people than any other pursuit In which
men engage. The wealth of nations is pro-
duced from the ground through the labor. Of
the farmers; they constitute by
far the most valuable class
in any country, but it is only as class
a. any one can see. for as individuals. farm
ers are of but slight national importance

ual happiness, from which there is no escape,
even though were kings To the bushes,
of farming, though it is the most indie pendeni
occupation known, there are many hard
places. But are there not also to the kings
themselves, what few there? No lot, or oc
cupation, or condition, possesses all
the advantages ard q minimum Of the dead

constituted as it is the vast majority will con-
tinue to get their living frcm the soil and the
work of the soil. The many because they
are obliged to the few because they really
love the occupation But is it not the true
philosophy to try to love the occupation
And not only that of farming, but the oc
cupation we employ as livelihood, whatever
it may be. Let u. DO the best we can and Dc

A CORE spondent asks US question as to
the quantity of commercial fertilizer per
acre. OF course his queston has reference
to the high grade or first class fertilizers, as
he well understands that there is great varia-
ton in the quality and valne of these goods.
But a good deal depends upon the char
acter of the soil where the fertilizer is to be
used, as well as upon the crop grown. run
down soil needs more, land in good heart
will get along with less. Where high feeding
vegetables. like garden truck, are grown, it
is not uncommon for growers to apply ton
to the acre. But generally we think the
limit hereabouts is 500 pounds-which how
ever, varies according TO the soil and crop.
For early potatoes, gill to each hill at
planting and the same quantity at hoeing,
are not too much. 1t is good policy to
fertilize literally, and land can hardly be
made too rich.

are not good enough in quality to bring a

Newtown Pippins, very local, yet many more
might be grown in the kennebec. Connect

urges the young men who have a fancy fol-
fruit growing, to produce new varieties to
this end by the growing of seedlings
