At this rate large profits may Ire expected. Last Summer the regular price of ice in Columbia wae two and a hall cents a pound, and at re tail, three cents. A firm in Mobile is said to be aboat to engage in the manufacture of ice also the coming Summer. It is reported thaf they arc to use a machine invented out in Kew Orleans. Our citizens here made inquiries about this Southern patent, but found the patent privilege held at so exorbitant a price that they were compelled to seek the desideratum in Germany. LEATHER PRESERVATIVES. I commenced this ai tide for the purpose of asking you to give your numerous readers the benefit of a very valuable re el ipt 1 obtained a few years since, to make the best leather preservative and water proof blacking I have ever seen, it is as follows: Two pounds of dear tallow—1-2 pound of rosin—1-4 pound beeswax—4 ounces castor oil. Melt all together slowly, and add a heaped table 'poouful of lampblack, which should be well stirred in. It should be melted slowly together, but do not let it boil, and as soon as it is well mixed, put It away where ou wish to keep it. i keep it in a tin-pan in which it is made, and have a pint tin basin to warm small quantities in as It Is wanted. As the same precaution Is ueceS -ary every time it is melted for tue, not o let it boil, but it should be applied to he leather quite, warm. The best thing with which to apply it, that 1 have found, is a piece of stout cotteu doth folded up lightly and sewed strongly together, about 1-2 inches long: with this the blacking ran be thoroughly rubbed into the leather —with a brush it cannot be. The leather -hould be held frequently over a pretty warm stov'e, just long enough to let the ducking penetrate it, and about as much as the leather will thus absorb should be applied to the soles of boots and shoes as well as the uppers, taking care to warm it until the leather has absorbed aH the oily part, rubbing frequently with the doth. By dipping only one end of the dotli, the fingers need not get soiled in applying it. To apply it to harness, there should tie added about as much ogam of neat's foot oil, which should also be ap plied near a warm stove, to enable the leather to absorb enough of the mixture. Vuvnlnj Gentleman. Nothing leaves ns as it found us. If a sheet of paper on which a key has been mill he exposed for some minutes to the sunshine, and then instantaneously viewed in the dark, the key Leiug removed, a faded spectre of the key will be visible, Let this paper be put aside for mauv months where nothing can disturb it, ana then in darkness be laid ou a plate oi hot metal, the spectre of the key will appear. This is ci|uafiy true of our minds. Every man we meet, every book we read, everv picture or landscape we see, every word or tone we hear, leaves its image ou the brain. These traces, which under ordina ry circumstances are invisible, never lade, but in the intenselight of cerebral excite ment start into prominence, just as the spectral image of the key started into sight on the application of ht-at. It is thus with all the influences to which vi are subjeeted. Uprightness, How brightness, Oulright ness arc three strands which twisted into one make a strong and reliable character. Leave either out, instead of a strong thing you make a weak one. The first ia the more jwipular, the more generally urged; luu the last are just as important, just M truly characterized the Great Exemplar. Character will grow into a grandly sub stantial thing, when it shall be the evenly woven product of these three virtues, w hen man shall stand stalwart and inexor able in every manliness and virtue, when there shall be no social or individual cow ardice, and no knee bent except to Him whose right it is to receive man's homags, —J.

Any railroad connecting or con solidating by virtue hereof, shall not discrim inate in any way against the business of any road connecting therewith, or leased thereto or to any connecting road, but shall provide for the connecting business on such fair and equitable terms as may be necessary to pro tect and continue the same, or on the expira tion of said lease or termination of any con tract implied therein, shall renew the lease of such connecting railroad or roads leased thereto, and be holden for the payment of the rent of the same; and the said consolidated corporation shall have their office, keep their records, and hold their stockholders' meetings in the State in which a majority of the direc tors shall bare their place of residence; and shall continue to be a corporation of this Slate only subject in all respects to the ju risdiction of the courts of this State. The amendment was adopted. Amendment “E,” proposed by Mr. I{eei>, was taken up. Mr. Reed spoke in favor of the adoption of the amendment. Mr. Holland favored the amendment. Mr. Neallet thought the matter was cov ered by Mr. French's amendment. Mr. Land opposed the amendment. Mr. Heed said the amendment proposed by Mr. French is in the nature of a vague and glittering generality—it proposes no sure pro tcction. Mr. Fbench supported hi* amendment. Mr. Cl'shinu was in favor of the general principles of Mr. Heed's amendment. The business of the connecting roads is now suf ficiently protected by the general laws of the State. I)oes not see the necessity of the amendments by the Senators from Franklin or Cumberland. Mr. Holland said that now no one rstil road controlled the interests of the roads of the State, but if the Maine fCentral and Port land k Kennebec are consolidated they will thus control it. On motion of Mr. Heed the vote on the adoption of amendment “K" was taken by ycaa and nays, with the following result: Yeas—Messrs. Bartlett, Bolster, Buck, Carlton, Carvill, Collins, Garcelon, Gibbs, llanson, Holland. Mayo, Metcalf, Heed, Roberts, Rolfe, Talbot, Turrcy, Webb—18. Nats—Messrs. Buffum, Cleaves, Cushing, French. Fuller, Gray, Kingsbury. Lane, Lang, Minot, Morse. Nealhy—12. So the amendment was adopted. Amendment “F.” proposed by Mr. lltin, was then taken up and adopted without di» Amendment “G" was withdrawn. Amendment “H” was withdrawn. Amendment “I" Was withdrawn. Mr. Bren presented an amendment, which was rejected. Amend hy adding aection The company formed by consolidation un der thia act, ahall, on request of the Penob scot and Union River Railroad Company, take stock in said railroad to the extent of ten thouaand dollars per mile, the number of mile*, if deputed, to be settled by three cone missionera appointed by the Supreme Court, on application of either party. T&t quia lion then recurred upon the pas sage of the original bill to be engrossed. Mr- Moiaakp moved an indefinite post ponement of tlie bill, and spoke to some jongtb in favor of bis motion and against the bill. Thinks there is no other set of men in Maine, except railroad men, who have be come bold by their operations, who would ask tor such a bill. There has been but one sol itary petition in favor of consolidation, llan gor, Lewiston, Portland and other cities have taken action against it. It was said before the committee that railroads never compete for business, but it is not so. The Portland Kennebec and the Maine Central competed for the Belfast road and the Somerset road. Referred to the Leeds and Farmington road, and the action of the Maine Central Company. The moment a consolidation bill is passed the news will go all over the country and the shares will go up. These shares have been bought for from $3 to $5 per share, and the original stockholders have lost their money, j Hopes the bill will be buried so deep that it j never will come up again before this legis- j lature. On motion of same Senator the vote was j taken by yeas and nays, with the following result: Yeas—Messrs. Bartlett, Buck, Carloton, Carvill, Collins. Gibbs. Hanson, Holland, Mayo, Metcalf, Reed, Rolfe, Talbot, Torrey, Webb—15. Nays—Messrs. Bolster, BufTum. Cleaves. Cushing, French, Fuller, Garcclon, Gray, Kingsbury, Lane, Lang, Minot, Morse, Neal ley—14.

That when in the progress of popu- lation and time they shall Ik court? a city, they may then have rooms for the city government i for the transaction of business. In the meantime it is proper that that building should he occupied for some other purpose, and in order for some return they prop*we to use it for stores. He contended that two thirds of a town has no more right to put its 1 hands in a man’s pocket than a hare majority, hut the real principle is whether the m ces- sitii s of the town require the out-lay money. I It has been passed upon by Brunswick, and decided y a very large majority that the ne cessity exi>ts, and it is for the Legislature to determine the measure of that necessity. II** i argued that there was no m cessity for the application ofthe two-thirds rule to this case, as a majority of the property* owners favored the project. He hoped the amendment would not prevail. Mr. Stonk replied to Mr. Barker. He' said two hundred and sixty voters of Bruns* J wick at a meeting specially called tor this purpose had voted for the project, and one' hundred and twenty-three against. This would not he conclusive with him if there were not added to that more than two-thirds of tin* taxable property of that town. The principle of allowing the town to aid the en terprise by a majority vote was further dis cussed by Messrs. Smith of Saco, Mildram, Bouncy. Barker, and Dunning. Mr. Hi mk moved the previous question, and the House seconded tin* call, which gave members five minutes each in which to speak. Mr. Bakkk spoke in reply to Mr. Bakkj r, and in opposition to the amendment.

WEIL DOSE, SEW HAMPSHIRE The Republicans of New Hampshire tliil gloriously in the election of Tuesday The prospect before them lu the campaign was one of difficulty and doubt. Three candidates, with as many platforms, took the held against them, three in appearance but one in purpose. There was the ancient banner of Democracy, the m w hag of Labor Reform, and the colors of the Temperance party all united to overthrow the Republican party. Strange that the party which would crush the laborer into a boudinsti should be found iu union with so called labor reformers to destroy the truest party to the lowly and laboring class which the Cotmtry has ever had, or that temperance men should league at the polls with the party that opposes every where all measures for prohibiting the .-ale of intoxicating liipiors. The truth ol the matter is, as the vote shows, that the names under which Flint and Harrow Went into the contest, were merely as sumed by disaffected republicans and intriguing democrats to catch the unwary and foolish, and had no real weight with the classes which they purported to rep resent. The laboring men and the tem perance men of New Hampshire Mere uol tound in the Labor Reform party and Temperance party (as they styled thern sclvesfon the day of election, but voted with the republican party as usual. Mal contents and democrats were the support ers of Flint and Harrows. The large fall ing off in the democratic vote from the last year can be accounted for in no way except upon the hypothesis that democrats east the most of the vote which Flint had, while nobody will undertake to say that the small vote w hich Harrows had com prised any considerable part of the tem perance men of New Hampshire. Thus these parties stand before the public as repudiated by the classes in whose interst they assumed to be formed. That they did not succeed iu accomplishing more is due to the sturdy good sense of the people of New Hampshire, the aide efforts ol the republican press and speakers, and the uneijualled organization and discipline which are maintained in that State. The republicans elect their State officers and have about their usual majority in the Legislature, which giios them a United States Senator. Considering the small republican majority in N'ew Hampshire, and that the election of a United States Senator depended upon the result, the re publicans of,our sister State have great reason to lie proud of their victory. Thu Administration may hail it as one of the best endorsements it could receive, and the republican party will feel more sensi bly its strength to deal successfully with internal as well as external opposition. All honor to the (irauite State. /tvs CM I so SVVCIV payments. The tendency of the gold market is so steadily downward and the bottom so near at hand that the resumption ot specie pay ments at no distant day appears certain. In tlio larger cities preliminary steps to so desirable n consummation,are being tak en in various ways. Hunts and the prices of merchandise arc adapting themselves to tlie new order of things, and silver mon ey is appearing in many places for change. Nothing cau indicate better the general wihli for tlie return to specie than these ejforts among the people to introduce specie to circulation, causing them to bring out their little hoards and encourage their neighbors to do to. All thi> helps to produce w' at is desired. When gold cwti mcnecd to rise how quickly it disappeared from the ways of traltie, thus aiding to increase the evil dreaded now as the pre-1 iniitin settles the hoards come out to send i it down. The large volume of currency which we have is going to be so increased in value by the relative fall in gold and products that there is no fear of scarcity of money for business operations, but rather n fear that there will be more than j will he healthy, causing speculation and unsafe operations. Mr. Lotighbridge can I dispense with the tilt y millions additional j he called for, and his constituents will j I have more occasion to thank hint than if he pushed things and succeeded. A special despatch from Washington I says the President recently in conversa tion with a member ol'tho House expressed himself greatly interested in the questions 1 affecting our navigation interests ami the propositions made looking toward a restor- j ationoi oiu commerue. Rttferriflg to die recent report of the Special Committee, tin1 President said he had read it with great care, and concurred generally in their arguments and recommendations, lie intimated that, in accordance with a promise made in his Annual Message, lie would, probably, send in a Special Mes sage on this subject. The President de clared that, iu his judgment, it was «ui eidal fora nation like ours, with an ex posed and double coast line, to he depend ent on a foreign nation, and that the one w hose unfriendly policy had so materially aideil in the ruin of our shipping, for the major portion of our ocean transportation. The news from the Red River district breathes war and trouble. The insurgent chief. Riel, manifests audacity and plainly docs not intend to make any child's play of the business in which he is engaged. A force which inarched against him was obliged to surrender, and the leader it is said has been tried by court-martial and will be executed. Here is a chance for the British Lion to roar. A meeting was held in Bangor Tuesday afternoon, at which resolves were adopted endorsing the recommendations of the Congressional Comnittee in relation to shipbuilding, and remarks were made by several persons ifpon the subject. WJSIUXGTQX -VAN’S. Senator Morton, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill on Tuesday bearing upon Cuban matters. The bill sim- 1 ply prohibits the fitting out of vessel* in this country, by any foreign power, for war upon colonies claiming independence, and action in fitting out such vessels is made a misde meanor. punishable by fine and imprisonment. The bill does not apply in terms to Spain and Cuba, but its passage last winter would have prevented Spain from building gunboats -in this country, last summer. The Georgia hill passed the House on Tues day by a party division, after an important j amendment offered by Mr. Bingham, which killed Governor Bultoek's idea that no ser- j vice in office of those elected in 1868, up to the present time, should be reckoned. The reconstruction committee is now en- gaged with the Tennessee question. The I delegation from that State, with the exception of Fowler and Hawkins, want the govern- raent set aside and martial law and military authority again established. A leading member of the House from Ohio. with several of his constituents, called on Secretary Boutwell, and in conversation with him said they hoped he would shortly recom mend a reduction of taxation; that they d inst., the following offi cers Moderator, Bewail Goff: Clerk, Carl* ton T.

Horal anfc State Neto0. Republican Caucus to-night at'Qranite Hall. A dance fur Surgeons—"Lancers Quad rille.” Maine is the great ice harvest field this winter. There is to be a brilliant Masquerade Ball at Richmond to-night. The wood haulers are improving the lust opportunity to get to market. The disappearance of the snow from our streets is a good evidence tliul warm weather is March-ing on. The Legislature at it* present session has passed two hundred and thirty-four Acts and fifty-six Resolves, to March 8th. A lodge of Good Templars was organized at Paris Hill on the 5th inst. Col. Shaw, editor of the Oxford Democrat, was chosen \V. C.T.. The High School has secured by the efforts of the Principal and scholars and the favor of the public, a fund of about 8500 to be used for its benefit. Hon. R. 1). Rice of this city, was elected Vice President of the Northern Pacific Rail road Company at a meeting of the Cempany in New York yesterday. Since the Legislature has been reinforced by several new members it would hardly be fair to adjourn until they have a chance to get their seats warm. The republicans of Ward Three will hold a caucus in the Engine House on Bridge street, j to-morrow evening, at 7 1-2 o'clock, to nom inate candidates for ward officers. The liquor bill has been amended in some minor points and ordered printed. If passed, it is thought that it will he a powerful agent in the work of suppressing the liquor traffic. The ladies connected with the Free Baptist i church and Society, will hold a festival in the vestry of their church this evening. The I tables will be well loaded. No admission fee; all invited. The valuation commissioners report the polls in Augusta to be 1700, and the value of i the estates $4,831,135. In 1300 the polls numbered 1370, and the value of estates amounted to 82,400,074. The old bridge across the Mcduxneag at Houlton village, lias been demolished, with the exception of the piers, which are to he built higher, and a new covering put on. Work is progressing on tile new structure. The man who understood Augusta was car ried away by the late freshet was in town yesterday. He was surprised at the lively appearance ot things, and left in a hurry upon being informed tiiat business w ould be brisker this summer than ever. In 1300 the polls in Kennebec county num bered 11,034. and the value of estates was $15,273,353. According to the Valuation Commissioners’ lleport the polls at the pres ume number 12,024. and the estates amount in value to $21,004,034. Last evening a few minutes before seven o'clock, the cry of fire was raised in our streets, caused by a burning chimney in the house occupied by Mr. Hockwood on Court street. The fire was subdued before much damage was done, and the Fire Depart ment, which was quickly on the ground, re tired iu good order. The funeral of Simon G. Smith of Farm ington, formerly of Lewiston, an engineer on the Androscoggin railroad, was attended at the First Baptist church in Lewiston, on Sunday. The Lewiston Journal says the funeral was at tended by a large delegation of the Brother hood of locomotive Engineers," who came by special trains Sunday morning, dressed in re galia. The burial ceremony of the order, which is similar to that of the Masonic Fra ternity. was performed at the grave. The locomotive formerly run by the deceased, wluch brought in one of the special trains on which the body of the deceased, was very tastefully draped with mourning. A train was run frtnn Augusta. Mr. Holmes, conductor of the accommoda tion train that flits so regularly (light times a day between the three sister cities, is truly a veteran on his route of travel. So long as a quarter of a century ago he conveyed passen gers between the same cities, being in the employ of Mr. V. 1). I’inkham who in those days, before the advent of the railroad, kept two coaches plying between Augusta and Gardiner. After the railroad was completed but otic coach was employed, of which Mr. Holmes, after a brief sojourn in California, became proprietor. This coach lie drove for nine years, until the railroad company added the accommodation train, and secured Mr. Holmes as its conductor. He lias been con ductor of this train somewhat more than six years, making more than fifteen consecutive years that lie has been engaged in transport ing passengers between Augusta, Hallow ell and Gardiner. During 1309 alone, his trnin took 34,504 fares between Augusta and Gard iner, 32,309 between Augusta and Hallowcll, and 13,985 between Hallowcll and Gardiner. It would be interesting to know accurately the number of times Mr. Holmes has passed between the termini of his route during the past twenty-five years. It may be added that no serious accident ever occurred in connec tion with his train, which fact, considering the frequent trips, speaks volumes in behalf of Mr. Holmes’ faithful stewardship.
