FOREIGN OYSTER TRADE.
The [indications are that the trade
will greatly increase this year as
already the ahlpmenta are double those
of the same period last season. .-\ new

crease rapidly. The great increase of
oysters by reason of propagation has so
augmented the supply that it is gen
orally conceded by oyster plan-
ten that the foreign trade is necessary
to a market for the production. The
shipments last season were nearly one
hundred thousand barrels. bringing a
direct revenue to the producers of near-
ly half a million dollars and of a consid
orably larger amount to the country.
While deep water cttltivatiotr affords
opportunity for large investments and
immense production. the preserving of
the natural beds to those of small
means and limited agencies prevents a

Ill Liwell. recently. live girls. all
under thirteen years of age. were =tf~
rested for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct in the street. From the stories
told by the girlls it appeared Illttl one of
them had been doing some work at a
boarding house bept bv a Mrs. Jones.
and that she was paid #2 as wages the
day previous morning. She hunted up
'her four companions. purchased a pint
of whiskey at. a bar room. and the liw
drank it. Thev started to walk to the
Rex farm in Dracut, singing. shorting
and calming a general disturbance.
Then they returned to Lowell and.
obtaining a tin pail, bought two quarts
of beer. which they drank. Tireir act‘
ions became so disgraceful that the per-
sons who saw thorn sent for the p dice.
Four of the girls accused the fifth of
enticing them away to drink the liquor,
but the lath-r said they had accompanied
her \vlllingly and eagerly drank the liq-
uor and beer. The girls were so drunk
that they coulil hardly tell a connected
story. and they made charges and
counter charges against each other.
They called each other the most shock-
ing names.
Temperance “'ork.
There seems to be a good deal of ntis~
trntlerstandinggns regards the real Work
of temperance. The idea is prevalent
that unless drunkards are reclaimed
nothing is being done. and the Illlt‘sllntl
is often asked. “\Vlrat gin-ll :llt' you
