Penohes and Strawberries.

Norwich, May 22.-There is marked increase in the acreage of strawberries at Norwich and vicinity this year, as we'll as in other fruits, while corn, beans and other staple crops have suf- fered accordingly. One farmer in Gro ton has set out 10000 strawberry plants, and is making that his chief crop. For tunately the cold wave of the past week has not been so cold In this section of the state as it was west of the Con- necticut river, or the loss to fruit would have been heavy. The acreage of peaches shows an increase and the ten- dency, nurseryman who supplied most of the trees for that section, said, Is for better varieties, and higher cultivation. Judging from the work which Is being done this year, it Is believed that the peach crop next year will be the finest ever harvested in Connecticut.

be 30 feet long and only 1-2 feet beam,

Her engine will be made by Henry W..
Stickney, and will be of 10. horse power.
1t is expected that this racer" will at
tain the remarkable speed of 10 or IA
miles an hour, which, for so small a
boat, will certainly be something worth
seeing. The speed of other boats OF that
size'does not t.exceed from to 10 miles,

The JohnhP. Lowell Arms Company is
backing this enterprise, and of course
Mr.. Twombly is in charge of everything.

On the banks of the Presumpscot riv-
er, close beside Prides bridge, on the
Deering side. there is now taking place
the demolition of some rather celebrated
buildings. For many years the canning
factory of John Winslow Jones was one
of the largest and most important IN the
state, If not the country, but for the
past few years they have been gradually
falling to decay, and are now being torn
down, probably because there is no long
er any use for them, and it is not worth
while to keep them in repair and it is
more profitable to remove them and sell
the junk than to pay taxes upon them.
Some five or six years ago they were
bought by the Portland Packing Com
pany, together with other buildings and
rights in various parts of the state. The
destruction of these buildings removes
one of the prominent landmarks of Deer
ing.
Up on the hill above is the fine man
sion and stable of John Winslow Jones,
built by the money earned by the can
ming operations insthe old red buildings,
soon to disappear forever. This fine es-
tate, that must have cost $15, 900, has not
been occupied for several years, and is
owned by the Gray National Bank.
There has been.a rumor in the neigh hbor-
hood of late that it had been sold to GER
tain Portland parties, who intended to
make a summer boarding house of it.
Cerainlv the location on the bank of
the river, is very attractive and it might
not be an Improbable venture. But
those who know, say there is no truth
in this rumor, that it has not been sold,
though still for sale, ana that the ru-
NOR started probably from the fact that
last summer the above Portland parties
drove out thereaand took a look over the
place, and were heard to say that it
would be good place for their business.
