The Kennebec Apple Crop.

In conversation with 4 leading orchArdist
Of kennebec county and prominent official
Of the Maine State Pathological Society the
que stion Of the apple crop for the present
fall came in for u share Of consideration.
The gentleman said. with rs the crop will
be about one half the average. We usually
raise some 1900 barrels Of No. fruit and
this year we shall have but about 600 barrels.
Ia many sections Of the county the apples are
very ~ormy and careful sorting throws out
a large proportion Of them There 10 quite
a demand for fruit ct this early date and
part Of il still on the trees. We have been
offered ~ Is per barrel for Baldwin apples
on the trees and have refused. The price 10
going good figure beyond that yet. We shall
sell this fall and we expect 81 80 or o. 90 for
every barrel. Fine eating apples are scarce.
In the Boston market they are pa, ing IS 90
per barrel for Gravensteins-a price which
shipped % barrels recently at those figures. "
This seems to be the general tone of the
crop reports on apples throughout the
country. Another orchariist standing in the
group eorroborxted the facts above stated
aud said that he never saw apples so wormy.
There are always just so many worms and
when the apple crop is small there are more
worms to the apple.

The Two Classes of English LAWYERS.

In England there are two classes of
lawyers, the one being called barristers,
the other attorneys. When case is to
be tried, the attorney who has taken it
from the client gets up the evidence and
prepares the papers; in short, does all the
work necessary to bring it into court.
There the attorney retains barrister to
conduct the case in court. Hence, bar
risters rank higher than attorneys. We
often see the letters @. G. written after
the name of u barristcr. The title,
Queens counsel, for which the letters
stand, ia an honorary one, given to an
eminent practitioner mt the bar. One
possessing it is entitled to wear q silk
gown. A Queens counsel cannot act as
Junior counsel in case, ao& as he cannot
always be the leader, he sometimes finds
his title an Inconvenience. The Judges
in England are chosen from. Queen'a
