The rapid increase Of business during
the past few years at the Waterbury post
Office is largely attributed to the extern
sive business of our townsman, c. C..
Warren, who now does flye-eights of all
the mail business transacted at this
office, says the Waterbury Record. Mr..
Warren's constantly increasing business
will soon raise the postoflice salary 5000
more. Now that Bolton falls is to be
harnessed and the most extensive water
power in northern Vermont at once be
made available to all classes of manu-
facturers, we hope and trust that it will
be the means of inducing more men of
Mr. Warren's stamp to locate with US.
We can afford to offer them some extra
inducement to do so.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Vermont and New Hampshire Especially
Favored by Growing Conditions.

Favored by Growing Conditions.
For the week ending Aug. s, rain,
generally in the form of showers. fell
in all sections of the district. In Mass
achusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut
showers were frequent, in some parts of
daily occurrence; they were often
attended by high winds and hail, iniurng
grain, tobacco and fruit. Rain is much
needed in Maine. The showery weather
and sunshine have been uufavorable to
hayng, and the unsecured portion of the
crop has suffered accordingly. Harvest
ing and farm work generally has been
delayed by cloudy weather and showers.
Vegetation is in a thrifty, growing
condition. Throughout New Hampshire
and Vermont and parts of Maine the
showers haye improved crops and
pastures, replenished streams and
resulted in much benefit to agriculture.
The rainfall has been excessive in some
southern sections, iniuring potatoes by
rust and blight. Haying and grain
harvest has been retarded; considerable
hay was lost or damaged. High winds
have dropped fruit badly. Warm, dry
weather is now needed for potatoes and
for the completion of hayng in the
southern states.
The condition of grain is, with few
exceptions satisfactory. Oats and barley
are being harvested in parts of all the
states the quality and yield are up to
the average. Corn promises good
crop; it is mentioned that it is a week to
ten days late in many sections; in others.
local storms with high winds damaged
the crop. As whole the crop is good
and practically assured.
The apple crop will be short. 1t is
Irregular. There are orchards in parts
of all states with good crops, but the
majority are poor. In not a few in
stances there is no fruit at all. Pears
are fairly plentiful. The reports from
Connecticut are favorable to grapes.
Berries are good and fairly plentiful.
The general opinion favors an average
crop Of cranberries, though the season
is hardly sufficiently advanced to express
a positive opinion.
Garden vegetables of fine quality are
plentiful without exception. Early
potatoes suffered more or less from dry
weather in parts of all states. This
portion Of the crop is probably less than
the average, though the tubers are
generally large and of excellent quality.
The late crop is with very few exceptions
in good condition. In parts of New
Hampshire and Vermont, and some of
the southern sections of the district
where drought in the earlier part of the
season injured the crop, the recent rains
have been of great benefit, improving
the crop and saving many fields, so that a
fair yield may yet result. Rust and
blight prevail to some extent, especially
in the southern half of the district, but
there seems little likelihood of serious
or extensive damage. The vine crops
are good. In the vicinity of Brattleboro
VT, the cucumber crop, which is of
much value for picking at the factories,
is large. Heavy downpours of rain in
some instances have damaged beans,
lettuce and other garden truck.

PLENTY ALOHA.
FareweHs to the First American
Expedition.


Expedition.
The crowd at the waterfront on
Saturday morning to bid farewell to
the Boys in Blue was almost as great
as the multitude that welcomed the
first invasion to Hawaiian soil. Bands
played and there was much cheering.
Gifts were showered on the departing
uests and alohas were many and
hearty. Hundreds of the men had
made acquaintance during their
brief stay and these new friends seem
ed like comrades of old standing. The
ladies were on hand Saturday morn
ing and bestowed Ieis and flowers on
the expedition members.
First to leave was the S. S. City of
California, with the beloved and popu-
lar Col. Smith in command. Members
of the first had found many San Fran
cisco friends here and like all the
other men in the brigade had fallen
in love with Honolulu. The Charles
ton was given a great ovation as she
followed the City of Picking out. Next
to go were the Sity of. Sydney and
Australia. The Government tug escort
ed the fleet outside. The harbor ship
ping was filed with people. Flag
salutes were exchanged. All the
island steamers in port sounded their
whistles. The S. S. Doric fired three
guns as a parting salute to the trans
ports and convoy. The Charleston
foated her new silk flag presented by
Queen Dowager Kapiolani.
