Matters at the Insane Hospital are very
satisfactory. No new cases Of diphtheria
are reported. The work that is being done
on the new pavilion is considered the best
ever done under contract. The patients
have been quartered in the barracks In the

Prof. Vose of Boston was called to Angus
ia last week to examine as to the safety OF
the building on the corner Of Bridge and
Water streets. The building is owned by the
Coughlin, druggists. Prof. Vose gave the
entire building thorough examination and
pronounced it unsafe. He said the walls,
though they might stand for some little time,
were liable to fall at any moment. The
question that now agitates those who walk
past its walls is, will measures be taken to
have the walls come down before they fall
and perchance do fatal injury.

The crops and the weather.


The weather-crop bulletin of the New En-
gland Meteorological Society, in co-opera-
tion with the United States Signal Service,
for the week ending Saturday, July Goth,
1889, says: 'The average temperature for
the week in all the New England States, ex-
cept Massachusett, was about normal. In
Massachusetts, it was low. Throughout the
whole of the district the temperature fell
slightly below the normal Immediately after
the storm of the 18th; after that of the 18th,
there was a great fall, which was most
marked in Massachusetts, southern New
Hampshire and southwestern and central
Maine, along the hail belt of that storm. In
the central Connecticut valley the tempera-
ture fell to 4S degrees on the morning Of that
day. The average precipitation was above
the normal for the week in all the States ex-
cept Maine, where 1t was normal
"Haying progressed rapidly during the past
week in all parts of New England, except
northern Vermont. The unusual amount of
sunshine, together with the fresh, dry winds
enabled the work to go on steadily. and the
crop has been mostly secured in better con-
dition than seemed possible week ago. The
high winds and heavy rain, during the storm
of the 18th, lodged the grass and grain in
many places in the southern part, but the
crops will not suffer much damage. The
damage by hail was great in southern New
Hampshire and central Maine. Potatoes are
suffering on account of the excessive mois-
ture in the ground; the vines have very
healthy appearance, but it is thought the
tubers are rotting. The favorable weather
has checked the rusting of oats, and that
crop, as well as barley, is ready to be cut
Corn is growing rapidly everywhere and
looks well. Sweet corn was plucked on the
18th in Connecticut A heavy crop of rye
has been secured in good condition. Tobac-
co looks WE'LL"
Reports were received from Maine towns
as follows: West Jonesport, crops favora-
bly, affected; Winslow, crops growing well,
badly cut by hail; East Sumner, crops grow
