The Waldo County Hay Crop.

The haylng season is now we'll along and
few farmers have finished, although the
work is from a week to 10 days behind the
average season Early in the season there
long dry spell and grass grew but lit
tie, and July 4th, when haying generally be-
gins, the outlook was slim. A rain came on
about that time and gave a much-needed
growth, but the weather has been catching
during haying and some hay has been spoil
ed and the work delayed. Reports through
out the country indicate light crop and in
this section it will not be up to the average
The hay shipments from the county dur
the past year have been larger than for a
few years past, though not up to the figures
of the time when hay was shipped to South
ern ports. There are seven quite extensive
dealers IN Waldo county-F. G. White, L.
7. Shales and A. NJ. Carter of Belfast A. E.
Nickerson Of Swanville, A. E. Chase of
Brooks and c. B. Sampson and 7. S. Keen
of Thorndike. MIR. White does the largest
business and ships not only from Belfast
and points along the railroad but from
Standpoint and Camden. The market is
chiefly in Boston, though considerable
quantities are sent to Bar Harbor and the
summer res orts and granite quarries along
the eastern coast. 1t is estimated that about
20, 900 tons have been sent out of the county
the past year. The price paid for the best
grades has varied from $1,000 to S14.O0 and
the average for all shipments has been about
5000.
In addition to the amount shipped there
is an increasing amount fed out on the
farms, and larger number of cattle raised.
The dairy business is increasing somewh hat,
and more cattle are raised for beef. Mr.. D.
G. Greenlaw of Northport estimates that
about 800 head of mature cattle and nearly
1000 veals, the latter either on foot or dressed
have been sent from this county to Massa-
chusetts during the past year. This does
not include the shipments from Burnham
except such as are bought in Waldo county.
In addition to this nearly 100 head of heavy
beef oxen have been sold in Bangor by
Waldo county drovers, which We're bought
within a radius of twenty miles of Belfast.
These represent considerable consumption
of hay, which taken with the shipments
bring a large amount of money either di-
rectly or Indirectly into the pockets of the
farmers

Lawyer HadIock
Sued for Absolute Divorce. Mrs. HadIOck q
SearspOrt Lady.

BosToN, July 90. Mrs. Aexine D. Had
lock, wife of the well-known lawyer, Har-
vey ID. Hadlock of this city, instituted di-
vorce proceedings by filing petition for
separation in the Suffolk county superior
court to-day. Mrs. Hadlock names two New
York women as correspondents in her libel.
The dates cited correspond with those ON
whic the lawyer had an alteration with a
hack driver in New York recently, and was
compelled to appear in the police court to
settle the case the next day.
Mr.. HadlOck was married January o. 1865,
to Miss Alexine L. Goodell of Searsport, Me-
He has two children living.
Mr.. Hadlock was counsel for Miss Bartlett
in the celebrated case of Bartlett VS.. Bige-
low, which had two trials at East Cam
bridge. This was a suit alleging breach of
contract to marry, brought against the estate
OF DR.. Henry j. Bigelow, probably the most
distinguished physician New England has
ever had.
Hon. Sherman Hoar was counsel for the
Bigelow estate. On the first trial Mr. Had
lock won, but on the second he lost.
Lawyer Hadlock is man of striking per-
sonality. You cannot pass him on the street
without noticing him, and most people mark
his great resemblance to Daniel Webster.
He weighs almost 800 pounds, yet his frame
is so large that he seems smaller.
Lawyer H2diock is a man of tireless activ-
ity. He really lives in three places. He has
magnificent residence in Bucksport, where
he has gained the reputation of being one of
Names leading jurists in New York. where
he has an office, he lives in his suite at the
Astor house; and IN Boston, he partakes of
all that is best at the Revere, occupying the
Prince of Wales suite over the large parlors.
Here not only Albert Guelph, but Jenny
Lind Christine Nelson and other noted
visitors in Boston have rested from their
sightseeing.
He is II years Old. His Boston office is on
the fourth floor of the Hemenway building
where so many of Boston's prominent law
yers have their offices. From 1881 to 1887 he
resided in Portland, where his opinions were
frequently sought and published on import
ant questions of corporation and constitu-
tional law. In cases which involved import
ant questions of railroad, corporation, patent
and maritime law, as well as in homcdes
ard other criminal cases, he has gained a
wider reputation as successful practitioner

Thinks it is Time for a Change.

D. Lane, Esq, sends us the following ex-
tract from letter received by him from W.
H. Avery, son of the late Henry Avery, who
is engaged in the cold storage business in
Owosso, Mich, Minneapolis and Buffalo
Mr.. Avery says:
l have been away from Owosso most of
the time since March; was in Buffalo s
weeks putting eggs in cold storage. and have
now been in Minneapolis 3 weeks buying
butter. Butter is very low; have been buy
ing for s to Is cents per pound and eggs at
to 10 cents per dozen, and even at these low
prices there is no profit in the business. 1t
is very hard for the farmers to sell their
produce at such low prices, and they having
so little money makes all business very dull
in the West. 1t has been dull, hard times
for the past two years, and it looks now as if
this year will be worse. l am hoping that
after Mckinley is elected there will be a
change. You know 1 have voted the Dem
ocratic ticket for good many years, but
am now tired and sick of the party and be-
lieve it time to have change"
