the reason the annual report of the pres

1885, was that the report for 1895 had al

that the latter report being gotten out
much later than the one recently issued
the report of the anniversary exercises
of the Union Society," which took place
port, and it was not deemed necessary to
repeat the same report this year. The
annual report of the superintendent of
public education was included in the may

from former years being the omission of
the names OF the graduates from the
high school since 1870.

The House Passes the General APP
propriatiOn Bill.

Washington. April 2O.-After passing
few private pension bills. the House spent
the remainder of the session to-day in the
consideration of the general deficiency
the last of the general appropriation bills.
A prolonged debate was occasioned by the
paragraph appropriating Ss5O,OO0 to supply
a deficiency in the collection of the Gus
toms revenues. The action of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in increasing the
customs force at New York was criticised
by Mr.. Hepburn, rep, of Iowa. This in
crease was due, according to Mr.. Dingley,
rep, of Maine to the change from specific
to ad valorem duties made by the Wilson
German act. A general comparison of the
tariff laws of 1890 and 1894. both as to the
revenue produced by them and the cost
of collecting the same, and a comparison
of the appropriations of the past four con-
crosses made a lively debate, which lasted
nearly three hours

pect. among them John /. Parker, one
of the largest farmers in the county. Mr..
Parker says he has examined a number
of trees and finds very few pears He
does not attribute this to the cold. but
TO the spur or bud blight. The Indications
now are that there will be a Compare

fers.
The melon acreage is considerably small
Ter than usual, and that crop win also
be short.
Boston, Ca, April 2o.-The blight
amongst the LeConte and Keller pears
has proven very disastrous. The blight,
it is thought, is due to the late frosts
A great many orchards have been dam
aged fully 30 per cent, and the blight is
still spreading. A short crop, however,
may prove more profitable than a full
crop. A great many shippers did not
realize expenses on their shipments last
year, when the largest crop ever known
was grown.
Rain is badly needed now, especially
for melon and Oat crops.
