The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its Superior Strength and Durability of Work, are points that astonish and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa miliar with this Machine, do not yet kn w the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma chine in the family, though they may p -sess many others and think they are satisfied. In proof of this assertion is the signiticant fact, That its strongest advocates and must enthusiastic adniirers are always found among those who have used and are most familiar with other leading machines.

Augur a, Jan. 2Sth, WTO. «J!0anth of March it broke up again, from the effects j of a great rain and the melting snow, making an “ice freshet,” and formed a dam below Hallowell, and that village was submerged; the water high up in Water street, tilling cellars and lower I stories of houses and stores, and destroy ing a vast amount of property. The height of the water at that time is marked in Kennebec How in that city. 1 Hallowell has within our recollection been three times submerged, in conse quence of the ice breaking up early in the winter, grounding on the flats below the 1 town, and then again breaking up with a rain whilst the ice was strong, jamming j below the town, and flowing back the water and creating a flood once in 1820, again in 1848, or T4, and again on Sunday last. It was also submerged about 1800, from the same cause. We should think that people would find some other place to live and do business than on the lower street in Hallowell. In June, 1882, oc curred a freshet which swept the Kenne bec. It rained three days and nights con tinually. The water was within a very few feet of the stringers of the bridge. It passed through tinder the bridge between the pier and the abutments with tearful velocity, the water appearing some four feet higher above the bridge than below. The river was covered with logs, trees aud the debris of mills, bridges buildings, dams, fences and almost every i imaginable thing that would float. The span of a bridge came down whole and went under the bridge. A whole saw mill came down having piled in it a large 1 quantity of boards. It approached the eastern span of the bridge, and the thou sands who were looking on held their breath, expecting that it would topple over the bridge. But instead of this, the mill and all in it were crushed like a child’s cob-house, and the shapeless mass j went under the bridge. A loud cheer went up from the lookers I on. A large pile of pine boards above which every body supposed was far above where the’ water could come, was floated off by the rising flood, and started for down river. Two men got on the pile, and with the batteau in tow, came down the river. As it approached the bridge one of the adventurous men left in the r batteau, but the other stuck to his boards i and went safely under, by lying flat upon his pile. A cheer which almost made the bridge itself tremble, went up from the crowd of lookers-on. He brought in-> boards safely in, below Hallowell. The first Legislature which met hi Au gusta was in 1882. The corner-stone of the State House was laid July 4th, 1828, by tho Grand Lodge of Masons of Maine, in the presence of Gov. Lincoln. The corner-stone which was then placed in position is the northeast corner, and has an orifice in it which con tains among other papers a copy of tho constitutions of the United States, aud of Maine, the names of the then President and executive officers of the United States, of the Governor and principal officers of Maine, copies of the Kennebec Journal of that week, which at that time was the only paper published in Augusta, and various other documents. Governor Lincoln died the same year in a few mouths afterw ard, iu Augusta, and was buried with military I honors on the grounds iu trout of the i i State House. j In 1832 the Legislature met for the first 1 time ig Augusta.

March 10th. «u the hill providing lor a reduction in poll tax Mu. SVfakIkr AVI) fil VTi.f wt:x It I* well known (or the fact can be ascertained), tliat in t8r,j, when the poll tax was raised from two to three dollars, it was to meet the ex igencies ol that year, and it was the specific reason alleged for the increase in the debate of that sea-on. Now what is the fact in re gard to that particular year? Why. sir, the State tax assessed was over twenty-four hun dred thousand dollars, and the towns were deeply indebted on account of bounties paid to soldiers, and, as a matter of course, the per centage of tax on the property was very large, therefore the legi-lature increased the rate on polls from two to three dollars. How stands the ease to-day? Does that state, of tilings exist? Do we propose to put any such sum upon tip* people of the Slate this year? No sueli thing is entertained by this legislature. Our State lax will not be more than one half of what it was in I -I)."— when the poll tax was raised. Now, Mr. ■-'•peakcr. how is it with a majority of the towns? Why, sir, after applying to the liquidation of their debts, the bond- issued (to them) by the State on account of the mu nicipal war debts, thevwill be free from debt, (I say a majority) and many of said towns will have a fund on hand, and some contem plate the purchasing of a farm for the support of their poor, with the surplus fund. Then I ask if the very unusual large tux that was to be assessed the year of 18(>5. was the rea son of the increase of the poll tax Why not, when that reason lias been removed, make a corresponding reduction of tax upon the polls? And I do believe that a majority of the legis lators that voted for that increase, did not in tend that so high a poll tax should become a permanent law. It seems to me that this in crease was to meet that particular case—the object being obtained and the cause removed. The law, in my judgment, should die with it. I will now say a worn in regard to me principle of high poll taxes, and I will ask. "is it right and just, or is it wrong and op pressive—is it good, political economy, or is it an unwise and narrow policy for a State to adopt These, sir. are questions that we should well consider and decide them upon their real merits, regardless whether we are adected in our dollar interest, either one way or the other—I mean, sir, as legislators of the State. Now, sir. 1 believe it is w rong in principle, and in many instances oppressive. The law,‘as it now stands, puts one-sixth ot the whole amount to he assessed upon the polls and not to exceed three dollars the old law was for years before tlie war one-eighth of the whole, and not to exceed one dollar. Tiiis bill provides a two-dollar limitation, which, is a higher rate than any other State that I have any knowledge except New Hamp shire ami some one or two other States. The great West, as a rule, has no ]ioll tax or a mere nominal one, a cash tax living the ex ception to the rule. It is said tint we have, in this State, about one hundred and forty thousand polls; this will give you four hundred and twenty thou sand dollars under the preseut law that rests arbitrarily upon the bone and muscle of the State, and thousands of them were at the front at the time this unfriendly legislation w as go ing on at home. This class of men should not. in my opinion, be obliged to relieve property in this manner, when they, by their valor and heroic efforts, have saved the whole. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, call we afford to be unjust to one ot these? Many of them are now working hard to support themselves and their families, and yet they must pay this ex tra amount Unit was assessed when one dollar in currency was not worth fifty cents, and a paper man would fetch four hundred dollars of these same promises. Mr. Speaker, I have called this law the re sult of unfriendly* legislation and wrong in principle, (although it was not so much so at that time as it is at the present time). What are the facts? Why, sir. we must all admit that it discriminates against the poor and in favor of the rich. Figures demonstrate this and it cannot lie refuted. The reason of this is that the more we put upon the polls the less there is for the property to pay. It is a prin ciple in moral philosophy that a community or a State's civilization is measured by its benevolence, and this is seen in the many in stitutions which it conceives and creates, and the laws that govern them; and ns this law is not, in my opinion, the result of pure benev olence it does not tend to a higher state of civilization. Ilut on the contrary it is the legitimate offspring of tlie-war, the war re sulting directly from principles of barbarism, which undertook to ride rough-shod over our benevolent institutions, and thereby crush out true civilization. Hut I am told there is no complaint on ac count of this tax. This is not the case, al though there has not been much complaint made here from the people in regard to this particular tax or any other, yet we all know that they feel that they are burdened witli taxes. Shall we wait for floods of petitions to come up here before we will change this law? Why. sir, they have petitions last year and tills'; now shall I tell you why we are not im pjrtuned upon this subject every day It is simply this, that the class of our citizens tliut are wronged in this matter, are the men of small property and the poor man of no prop erty except that which makes poor men rich, t.. a large family,) this class of men never comes here to lobby the members of this House. Hut, sir, when the money power is Hssailcd look out for your own seat or you will lose it and if nut they may have your head or addle your brain. Capital is ever on the alert, always vigilant to protect itself and seeking new opportunities for profit and pow er of this I need only to remind you of the many projects and bills pointing in that direc tion.’ which have been and are now pressing themselves upon the attention of this House, and Sir, that same vigilance is wide awake whenever the assessors are trying to peer into its pocket* and measure its depths. No dan ger that it will not make its own abatement of tax before it is assessed. Mr. Speaker I have thus far been talking in regards to two classes oniv, the ups and downs and that this law is a benefit to the one and detrimental to the other. Now let me just say that there is a large class in the centre of the extremes that are not interested in this quarter, so as far as their pockets are concerned, (und lure let me add that a high poll tax is unjust ia my opinion, for the reason that it is un equal; it is unequal because it lias no regard of a man's ability to pay,) then let us value the man or reduec the tax. Now Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen, the next question that arises is this, is it expedient, is it good policy fur the State to so shape her laws as in the least degree to discourage her working population an.l therein- beget in them a desire to leave us. Should they feel as I dr that this high poll tax is unfriendly legislatioi lo them, it will certainly have that effect ant to do this in tlie face and eyes of a propositior now before this House, looking and asking foi legislation to induce the tailoring man to enter our borders and settle. Therein this appears to me unwittc and impartial. Now sir, wlwtdocs this bill propose to do Simply to take off one dollar Irom each poll and scatter it over the whole property of the Slate, »ill any one tell roe what per cent. It would lie I have net figured it but it roust Ik- beautifully small. Wbat else does it confer? Why, Sir, if I understand it* meaning it grant* the right to towns and citws* that raise money for highways to calculate toe amount of each poll upon that stim In ad dition to the amount of poll ta« on the cash tax for other puhprtsua which will glee them the .same tax on polls as in oilier towns where they assess a labor highway tax, and i also settle the question of a delinquent high- way poll tax therefrom. I can «ce no reason for members from the large tow ns and cities I to oppose this bill, and 1 trust you will pass it without any further amendments ami that the amendments now before tbe House will not prevail, wliieli is to strike out eight and insert one sixth; also to strikeout two dollar* and insert three dollars, Mr. Speaker, with these few desultory re marks. 1 will leave the subject tor others bet ter qualified to discuss the merits of this ques tion, hoping that right and justice will prevail.

AUGUSTA, Monday Morning, March 14, 1870. Republican dominations: FOR MAYOR, Mnnnirl Tltoomb. FOR MUNICIPAL JUIHiF,, s. W. Truo. NO MONGREL PARTY. The advocates and expectants of a mon grel party to be formed by u large mix ture of democrats with a small portion ol republicans, have had their plans and hopes seriously interfered with by the re sult of the election in New Hampshire and the municipal elections in our own State. Prior to these it was given out through the democratic papers that there was to be a breaking up in the republican party, that the speech of Mr. Dawes upon the appropriations was the prelude of a lively attack to be made upon the admin istration, and that a separation in the ranks of the republicans would follow. The Argus told its readers n few weeks ago that the division of the republican party was inevitable and the mongrel com bination a certainty. The division it said was “inevitable it could not “be avoided or long postponed.’’ The ".-hrewder men” of the republican party saw what was coining and were shaping their course accordingly.’’ Mr. Dawes had “opened the ball in a most telling man ner,” The administration with a few camp followers and corrupt men would be upon one side, while the immaculate dc- I moeracy, purified from the stains that the rebellion lmd left upon its skirts, would join hand in hand with honest republicans to overturn the party in power. The de scription of the mongrel concern as we find it in the Argus, says that the com bination will comprise “those republicans who have no desire to place the claims of party above those of country, and who arc intelligent enough to be proof against the deceptions of the demagogues who are now misgoverning the country. Mr. Dawes and republicans like him will eon-j stitute this class, while the democrats, al most in a body, will help to make up a power that will sweep the country and in- j augurnte a new era in the management of affairs.” Unfortunately for this nicely prepared democratic plan and sounding theory, it was but a few days old when Mr. Dawes appeared upon the stump in New Hamp shire, and informed the people that he and President Grant were in perfect accord about the appropriations, and that alone in the permanent supremacy of the repub lican party could he see the safe solution of the great questions of reconstruction, finance and taxation, bequeathed to the country by the demolishing of the rebel lion, and through it alone can be secured that fidelity in the collection and economy in the disbursement of the public reve nues which will liquidate the public debt and lighten the public burdens. This gave the democrats to understand that in count ing Mr. Dawes as a partner in their mon grel operations they had reckoned without their host. And when these declarations of Mr. Dawes were followed by the splen did republican triumph in New Hampshire, there was an end of the hopes of the mon grel party, not only in New Hampshire but in Maine and all the States, for it was plainly seen that “Mr. Dawes and repub licans like him," as the Argus had it, “who are honest, who have no desire to place the claims of party above those of country and who are intelligent enough to be proof against the deceptions of demagogues" [democrats] were as strong and united in their support of the Administration as they had been in sustaining the tlag of the country in the bloody days of rebellion. The flattering invitations that are held out to republicans to walk over into the dem ocratic party are pleasant reminders of its own helplessness, and the disrepute into which it has fallen through disloyalty in tlie rebellion, but they were not sufficient to entice the honest, intelligent repub licans of New Hampshire to enter the dem ocratic den, and they will serve no better purpose anywhere else. The demo cratic party lias neither power, credit, nor principles to commend itself. It lost its power when slavery fell, its credit when it became the apologizer and abettor of rebellion, and if it had a princi ple worthy of the name it would not be taking on new forms and appearances at every election. Honest republicans have more respect for the men who wore the gray uniform and took the field than for those rebel sympathizers who remained under the protection of the government and assailed it at all times and in all ways they could without endangering their per sonal safety. The republican party stands firmer in the confidence of the people to day than when General Grant was elected. GENERAL NEWS. Wool manufactures in the United States are valued at $175,000,000.

At each table sat a gentle man to carve, and a lady to preside at the tea urn, both dressed in the tashion of IT"*. There was also a New Englaud kitchen of the olden time, with all its old-time furniture and fixings, and the old family in ancient garb. There was also an entertainment in the body of the church, consisting of a New England choir, in ancient edstumc, which sung the old psalms in the old tune* and in the old way, which was wonderfully entertaining, admira bly acted and highly applauded. There wa* also exhibited an old manuscript sermon preached by a Connecticut divine one hundred and two years ago. The writing wa* in a fair hand, without an erasure or interlineation. LETTER FROM RICHMOSD. Richmond, March 12th, 1870. We had the pleasure of listening to a lec ture delivered last evening in the Congrega tional Church, by Rev. Wm. A. Drew of Au gusta. on the character of the Puritans. It resulted in disabusing the minds of his hearers of many prevalent notinos and pre-coneeived prejudices in regard to the alleged bigotry of our Puritan Fathers. A distinction was clear ly made between the Plymouth and Massa chusetts colonies— a difference not only in name but in character—as widely different as that existing between the Plymouth stock and their persecutors in the mother country. No such bigotry existed in the Plymouth colony as exists in some churches to-day. The whipping ot Baptists. Quakers. &c., was never perpetrated in the Plymouth, but by the Massachusetts colony, and those not on account of difference of faith, but in the one case for revolutionizing, or attempting so to do, the prniciples of their government, and in the other for disorderly conduct. A lesson may be profitably learned by the churches of to-day—not in exclusiveness, but in the liber era). man-saving doctrines of the Puritans, who were eminently advocates of “worship ping God according to the dictates of con science.” With no erged save the Bible, they were pure in life with no code of Blue I-aws. their constitution was the germ of our free institutions and civil government.

A correspondent of the Maehias Republican tells the following bear story “W bile Benja min Small one day last week was engnged in looking up timber on the west branch of the Narraguagus river, he surprised a family of hears, consisting of Mrs. Bear and three small cubs, snugly stowed away in a hollow with only a few leaves for a nest. Mr. Small be ing unarmed, not having so much as a good sized jack-knife with him and not liking to re treat without having at least made an effort at battle, set his wits to work. Here was a fix indeed four bears against one unarmed man. But Mr. Small nothing daunted, commenced action. Bruin was somewhat dumpish, and Mr. Small having a pretty stout pair of cow bides on his feet, commenced kicking poor bruin right and left, until she was forced to fall back, leaving her young on the field. Mr. Small, following up bis advantage, kept the bear in motion till be succeded in driving her to his logging works, where one of his men finished her with an axe. Mr. S., now has on exhibition at bis house in his town the car cass of the old bear, (which is a very large one) and the three cubs, alive and active. The above is a pretty tough bear story, but no less tougli than true, showing what resolu tion and forbearance will accomplish when one persists in four-bearing.” There will be a Grand Organ Concert at the M. E. Church in Waterville, next Wednes day evening, March 16th, commencing at 71-2 o'clock. Mr. T. P. Rider of Boston, will preside at the organ. He will be assisted in the concert by the following eminent Soloists from Boston Mrs. J. M. Osgood, Miss Beu lah A. Hill, Mr. J. C. Collins, and Mr. J. M. Robinson. Mr. Rider’s reputation as an or ganist is not excelled by that of any one in Boston. His selections of music for the con cert are calculated to bring out the fall power of the organ, producing a very fine and pleas ing effect. The Soloists are all experienced singers and hold a high reputation in Boston. The programme is made up of choice selec tions from the best authors. An Organ Con cert is something new in Waterville, and the new and beautiful church in which it is tu be given will no doubt be filled to Us utmost ca pacity. Tickets will be fifty cents, and may be had at the bookstores in Waterville. Tick ets for reserved seats, if purchased on Mon day or Tuesday before the day of the concert, at the same price. We learn from the Rockland Free Press that one day last week Mr. David Crane ot Warren, a man rising seventy years of age, while in the woods with a neighbor chopping wood, was struck in one of his eyes by a dry limb which he was cutting, in such a manner as to destroy that organ. Also Mr. Elias Davis of the same town, was severely burned by the taking fire of some rosin which he was heating. He attempted to remove it from the stove out doors, but as he opened the door the wind blew the flame directly in his face, inflicting considerable injury. One of his hands was badly burnt. It was feared he would lose his eyesight at first, but it is now behaved he will not. A daring attempt was made to rob the Na tional Bank at South Berwick, during the night of the 8th inst.; between the hours of 12 and 1 o’clock the watchman in the bank was awakened by some one endeavoring to force an entrance. He at once gave the alarm, and pursuit was made for the robbers, but without success. I'pon examination both the outet and inner doors of the banking room were found to have been forced open by means ol jimmies. The noise made in spinging the lock ot the inner door awakened the watchman who gave the alarm as above stated. Officer! arc on the track of the burglars. It is stated that within the last year a large woolen factory and nearly fifty dwelling house! have been built in Pittsfield village. The place also boasts of a seminary, founded undet the auspices of the Freewill Baptist denom ination. The building is a beautiful struc ture, on which $40,000 have already been ex pended, and will require some $20,000 rnort to complete it in all its details. The institu tion has 120 pupils and is in a prosperous con dition. A railroad has been projected fron Pittsfield to St. Albans, a distance of eigli j miles; its cost is estimated at $200,000. Many of the members of the “Dirigo Liter ary Association” of Chelsea, Mass., who con ducted themselves in so creditable a manne at their public entertainment given on the 2< inst.. are from Maine, and it is from this fac that they adopt our State's motto for its name The following is a list of its officers, all o whom are from this State: President, J.

A special telegram from Calais informs us that on Saturday morning, 12th inat., at half past six o^cek, a Are broke out in the furni ture (tore of Messrs. Giles A Gallager. Their stock was aitirely consumed; loss #5,000; in sured for #2,000. Thf books and papers were saved. The building was owned by S. B. Pool, whose loss is about #1,400 and no insur ance. The Are spread to adjoining buildings, the loss on which is about #2.000; insured for #1.000. About four o’clock Wednesday morning an alarm of Are called the Biddeford department to the building N'. 51 Main street, Factory Island, Saco, occupied by J. I,. Livingstone, dealer in hoots and shoes, and Miss E. M. Tapley, as a millinery siore. Mr. Living ston’s loss will not be large, insured for #1,600. Miss Tapley's loss will also be small, fully covered by insurance. _ The building was owned by Seleucus Adams, Esq., and was fully insured. The Are was undoubtedly the w ork of an incendiary.

The bridge leading to T. L. Willey's mill was carried away, also a por tion o( the Stillwater bridge. Quite an amount of logs and some sawed lumber were Hosted off, stopping between there and Mill 1 bridge. The Times says with considerable cnthust asm, “with the Knox A Lincoln Railroad in j operation and a line of propellers running from the Kennebec to New York and the Dnn iel Webster and Eastern City now lying at i our wharves plying between this port and Boston, Bath at once becomes a natural sea port as well as Portland." i We learn from the Belfast Age. that the Lancaster store at Saturday Cove, Northport, occupied by Mrs. A. Elwell, and containing some $500 worth of goods, was burned with all the contents, on Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock. The fire is supposed to have origin ated from a defect in the stove pipe. Loss $2,000. The store was insured. The Belfast Journal says the stone culvert for the railroad, in Brooks, over the Palmer brook, is completed. It is 12 feet in span, 14 feet high, and 87 feet long, with abutment* 6 feet thick, and altogether it a splendid piece of work. The cost in labor, exclusive of ma terial. was $5,890. T. E.

fiailg Jtfiinfkf Journal. jg g—T rr**" -I I STEEPLE JACKS. “STEKrtE Jacks" are workmen who, by an ingenious device, ascend to the side or to the top of a high chimney or tall steeple, without building stagingfrom the ground or roof. The London Builder nar rates, that some of the factory chimneys at New Swindon having got out of repair, the company resolved to employ a “Steep le Jack," who accordingly made his ap pearance at New Swindon and set to work, i His plan of proceeding; was to fly an In- j dian kite, with two strings attached. The j kite rises nearly in a perpendicular direc-1 tion. and when above the chimney-top. is I guided over it. The second string is then j pulled, and thus a complete communica- j tion is formed over the chimney. By means of the string, a double copper wire j is drawn up, and by this wire some pulleys and tackling. “Steeple Jack” then as-1 cends, hand over hand, andplaeesan iron band around the chimney, which he se cures tightly. Planks are then drawn up and laid upon irons projecting from the band; ana thus in a short time a scaffold ing sufficient for his purpose is erected, at a cost very mucTi less than that of a reg ular builder's. “Jack" had two or three assistants, and managed in his aerial man ner, to pull down one of the factory chim neys, which had become so badly out of repair as to require rebuilding. This scaffolding looks, at a distance, like a huge India rubber band around the chim ney, with ropes depending from it. An exciting occurrence displaying great intrepidity and involving tho utmost peri) to the person concerned, took place 1 itely at Miilbank Chemical Works, Garngad road. Glasgow. Messrs. Burns Son, ofj Ayr, who have been employed in similar duty at Townheak and other establish ments, had been engaged to paint a stack at the works mentioned, measuring 260 feet in height. The preliminary process of flying tne kite was gone through no I fewer than fifteen times. But on each oc casion it failed, iu consequence of the string being burnt through bv the gas aud flames emitted from tha stack. About an hour and twenty minutes were spent in these fruitless endeavors, when Mr. Burns resolving that, whatever personal risk might be incurred, the object must be ac complished, determined for this purpose to ascend the stack himself. Accordingly, in spit*1 of the remonstrances of his son, he proceeded to mount by the aid of the conducting-rod. But no sooner had lie got safely at the top than the rope was again burnt through, and he was left hanging by the hands. Not a moment was to be lost. The son flew the kite in about five minutes afterwords; and hav ing succeeded in once more fixing the rope, the father was got down. He was, however, in an extremely exhausted con dition; and notwithstanding the leather gloves he wore, he was much burned about the bands, while his left side was considerably scorched. iol vr inrl»r Etr«l, c*ri,r lirkrt Sq«irr.! tAJaaTOly IVotiee HAVING DISPOSED OF OUR GOODS Damaged h> the Late Freshet l\ WE arf. offering a triOOlk t'LKAX NTOt U AT Low Priceh -AT NO. 2 MERCHANTS’ ROW, Sallowell.

The first number of the Daily Kennkbec Jour nai. was issued from the Journal office on Satur day. U is about the size and style of arrangement as the usual Daily Legislative Journal, and in ty pographical appearance will compare favorably, w cjlunk, with the other Maine dailies. It is de signed by the publishers to issue it daily through the year, but we fear they w ill find their enterprise which ought to be a paying one, considering the field it will occupy, to prove a losing one. It costs a deal of money to publish a paper these times, and a large, prompt paying subscription list and a good ly amount of advertising patronage at respectable rates, are necessary to make a payer eelf-sustain ing, and prevent its being a source of cmbarass ment to its proprietors.
