CORINTH.

Rain, rain go away, come again some
other day, old farmer COmstook wants
to hay. No he don't just now but he
would like tarnel we'll to hoe his corn
and potatoes if the pesky things were
only large enough. The cold wealth err
and rain of the past month has kept
Mr.. COmstOCk in fret. 1t is no Won
der that he is becoming discouraged.
But how was it last season when it
was too dry, he was just as bad off.
Some how Mr.. COmstOck is never SUIT
ed. 1t is too hot or too cold, too wet
or too dry for Mr.. COmstOck every
time, and there is but little comfort for
him at any time of year. The fine
warm and dry days will come in time.
and then we shall all be very thankful
and may we never again complain of
good dry weather.
The pastures are quite good and
cows are looking fairly well. Grass is
being injured on some lands by excess
sive rain. 1t is better to be too dry
than too wet.
1t is reported that the creameries are
receiving more milk than. ever before
The dairy business ought to pay and
would pay if the farmers would only
take the right course, but when it
comes to paying out as much for feed
as the butter would come to in market
the profit is all gone. A good COW will
give good returns on hay and grass
alone, and it is a mistake to think that
extensive feed will make her ever so
much better The COW will be injured
in the end, and the farmer will get no
more in return for all the high feed.
Making butter in this way is expensive
Corn fodder is good feed for cows,
but grass is much better and can be
grown as easily. Put the same amount
of manure to the grass crop as you do
to the fodder corn crop and note the
result. J. F.B

What was her life story? Only this, so
far as known. She, in company with a
man she called her husband, last April
took lodgings at tenement house in
respectable portion of the city. In a few
weeks the husband disappeared. Then
gradually the girl lost her cheerful ap-
pearance, seemed troubled, and one day
said to the landlady, do you know, 1
think l would be better off if I were
dead" She was demonstrated with, but
to no purpose, and soon came the end.
Somewhere in this city there no doubt
lives man who could complete the his
tory of this unfortunate, but it is not
likely he will do it. Her secret will die
with her. She is but one of many who
found life in a great city a burden and
ended it all in order to find a fancied rest
from trouble.

The continued depressing weather, so
cold, damp and disagreeable, in June,
has had one effect, according to physi-
clans, and that is to shatter the nerves
of great many over sensitive persons,
and has produced a tendency to suicide
much stronger than is usually found in
this locality. A local physician, with an
extensive practice, tells me that in the
last two weeks he has had a fair proper
ton of his patients under the constant
care of watchful attendants to prevent
self destruction. BostOnians are accus-
toned to changeable weather and the
monotony Of the present spriS g has been
too much for some of them. The increase
of the suicidal mania is something to be
feared and regretted, and medical men
are praying most heartily for some old
fashioned weather to check it.

BY the finding of the body of Patrick
Hennessey in the Charles river Friday
afternoon, the police unravelled tale of
sorrow that seldom has been equalled in
any Boston family. Hennessey's wife
was at the city hospotal in a precarious
condition because she took a dose of
poison with suiciC%.l intent on Wednes-
day night. On learning of his wife's
condition, Hennessey visited her and
then, it is thought he Immediately
jumped into the river and was drowned
Later the same day it was learned that
earlier in the day Mrs. Hennessey's I'M
married sister, Norah Murphy, died at
her mothers home, Fl Lambert street
Fast Cambridge, and it also transpired
that Hennessey's married sister is quite
i'll at the city hospital, and her husband
is at the Carney hospital. It seems that

Suicides are all too common under the
best conditions, and some of the saddest
features of hospital life are presented by
those who, saying they have nothing to
live for, rashly swallow some poisonous
drug, and then, when too late, repent Of
their action. A peculiarly sad case
came to my notice only last Saturday,
when a young and beautiful woman,
weary of life, was taken to the hospital in
the agony of death. The nurses, har-
dened as they are to sight and sound
of human suffering, turned away as this
fair, frail creature lay on a cot and
moaned that earth no longer had charms
for her. Her history no one knew, even
the name she gave was presumed to be
an assumed one and without friends or
loved ones to cheer her she passed the
dark river, alone penetrated to the great
unknown.

The Boston Elevated Railroad com
pany having received all the legislation
IT asked for from our solons on Beacon
hill, now PROPOSES to do business and in
a way that may do much to solve the
problem of congested streets. To get
start. the company as soon as it has or
ganized and paid in its capital stock
will proceed to lease and operate the
tracks of the West End Street Railway
company, taking also that company's
lease of the subway. This action was
not unexpected by those who were IA
miliar with the operations of the ele-
waited company, although 1t was not gen
orally expected that the elevated would
seek a lease of the surface tracks until
II could be used in connection with it's
own. 1t appears however, that the
stockholders of the elevated company
wish to secure the lease and operate the
West End tracks while they are build
ing their own, which may not. under
the terms of the act. be in operation over
any routes named in the act, within 81
