The exceedingly high prices have done wmething to compensate the successful vessels of the fleet fur the light catch; but « large proportion of the fleet have taken very few fish, and manv of the fishermen have not made a dullar.” ~It is remarkable, says the Empire, how history repeats itself ~with variations fhe followmg is an extract from a speech ~ made by Daniel Webster in 1850: ‘'! would seoner hear of natural blas's, mil- dews, war, pestilence and famine, than to hear gentlemen talk of secessiun—to break ip the great Guverament, to dismember this gloricus country, to astonish Europe with an act of folly sach as Europe for two centuries has never beheld in any govern- ment or any people.” This was not spoken of Canada, but we have a country quite as “glorious” as the United States. it is pointed out by Mr. George John- son, the Dominion statistican, that the Im- peril Federation idea is at least a century old. In a book to be found in the National Library at Ottawa, and entitled ‘* The Ad- ministration of the Colonies,” by Thomas Pownall, tirst published in 1764, there are suggestions based on much the same erounds as those advanced by the Imperial Federationista, homas ownal!, who held the important office somewhat vaguely designated a» ** Governor and Commander. in-Chief of His Majesty's Province, Mass.- chusett’s Bay and South Curolina, and Lieut.

Little buckwheat grown, The reports from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick indicate a heavy Juss on account of bad weather. Hay, oats, wheat and potatoes are all short. ali Crops in Maine. A pesparcH from Augusta, (Maine), of the 13th inst., reports that Secretary Gil- pert was asked regarding the damage to ser.cultural industry in Maine through the frost and unpreeedented bad weather. He svid: ‘**The damage is simply immense, ind cannot be appreciated by the people not famiiar with the situation. It cannot be measured by a money value. I know of one man with 12 acres of ensilage corn, and che tield on which it stands is such a mire that a man cannot cross it. At this time there are thousands of acres of grain re- maining uncut, and much of that cut weeks igo is practically a total loss. Il saw one farmer digging potatves in the water. An- other man lost 24 acres of beans, the fe- tilizers for which he had to purchase and the work he hired done. In addition to the loss of crops, farmers have lust a vast smount of time, having been unable tu do anything since the State Fair. The first crop is practically harvested, and in many sections of the State is fully up to one cf yur best crops, particularly in Androscoggin and Kennebec counties. The fruit is tine ind perfect, which accounts in part fo rthe large yield io barrels. On one small farm in my tuwn 800 barrels have been picked.” Boston Markets. Boston, Oct. 18.

Lk Muc _ een The Reid-Green Case Dismissed. A PURLICATION OF THE CONVICTION OF THE } PARTIES WHICH IS NOT CORRECT, Mr. Frank A. Green, of 2226 Clarkson street, is being considerably annoyed by the receipt of letters from his former home in Canada, enclosing clippings from some newspaper, evidently published in Denver, of which the following 1s a sample : “The jury brought in a verdict in the con- spiracy case against Ada Reid and Frank A. Green (atter two days’ trial) of guilty. The judge sentenced them to two years in the penitentiary.” Nothing could be more inaccurate than this statement of the Green-Reid case. This casesattracted considerable attention in Denver, on account of the charges of the complaining witness, James A. Reid. The bistory of the case briefly stated, is that Reid, who was half owner in a drug store, in the Alnany Hotel building in 1887 left Denver in May of that year very mys- teriously, leaving his business in an embar- rassing condition, and his partner, Frank A. Green, to carry the obligations. Letters were Yeceived from Reid from various points in “he United States and Canada, in which he exhibited no disposition to return and attend to his business, His partner, Frank C, Green, was finally forced to turn the stock over to creditors, the principal of which was Mra. Ada Reid, who is a cousin of J. A. Reid. Reid returned to Denver in last April, and tinding the store in the possession of strangers, immediately procured a warrant against his former partner and Mrs. Ada Reid, charging them with conspiracy. Reid and his attorney were not satisfied with the result of the preliminary examin- ation and went before the grand jury and procured an indictment. The trial was set tor September 20, and whenthe case was called the comp!aining witness was missing, aud the trial was postponed twice on this account. District Attorney Rhodes telegraphed Reid asking him to return and prosecute his case. He received a reply which he read in open court, that Reid’s physician had advised him to seek a lower altitude. Mr. Butler, for the defence, stated the case to the court aud moved that his clients be discharged, and Judge Stone ordered the case to be dismissed at the complaining witness's cost. —Denver Times. le = The Abell Institution Again. Says the St. John Globe: —Detective Ring visited the Abell deaf and dumb in- stitution, on Howe’s road, Thursday after- noon, and removed therefrom a young woman named Duguay, of Tignish, P. E. Island. The visit was paid at the instance of Mrs. Duguay, the giri’s mother, who came to the city on purpose to get her daughter, who, she says, has been there for four years, and trom whom she has not heard for over three years. The girl is about twenty years of age. She seemed very glad to get away. To the police officer she told a strange story of ill treat- ment and abuse received while in the insti- tution at the hands of the manager. She says she never was taught anything at all, and does not even know the dumb alpha- bet ; but that she was made to do all kinds of heavy work, such as cutting wood, working about the barn, and doing other things usually left toa man. Mr. Abell, she says, was very severe and cross, and frequently beat her with a heavy strap until the flesh on her back was broken and raw, then she would be pyt to sleep in a cola room, with only one covering on the bed. Mrs. Abell, she says, was as kind to her as she cuuld be. The girl says she has been during the lust few wecks the only inmate of the institution. She claims that in August last a young man belonging to this city, who was then living at Abell’s, stopped her in the woods nearthe house and feluniously assaulted her. The girl left this morning with her mother for her home on the Island. To the police Mrs. Duguay said that during the first four or five months her daughter was at the asylum she had several letters from Mr. Abell about the progress the girl was making, and when she had been away about five months she got a letter with a note saying the last twelve lives in it had been wriiten by the daughter, and since that time she says she has never had a word of any kind, although she has written several letters. Detective Ring told a reporter that the girl appeared to have lived in terrible misery. Her clothes, he said, were very scant, and not at all adequate forthe cold weather. She had ap old pair of buots that were unfit to wear. He ssid she seemed very anxivus to get away from the house, and would shudder whenever Abel!’s name was men- tioned. The chiet of police gave her money to buy boots and a pair of gloves. & > , ? Itchy, Sealy, Skin Tor- tures.
