THE LOSS OF THE OYEI0A. The official report of the proceedings of the Xaval Court of Inquiry in the case of the Oneida has been published. The Court met in Yokohama, Japan, on the 27th of January. It consisted of five members, as follows: John Frederick Lowder, Brit ish Consul, President; ArthurTinklar, R. X., David Moore, .Staff Commander, R. N., John Gilfillan, Master Mariner, in command of the British steamship Sultan; \Vm. Chapman, Master Mariner, in com mand of the British ship Rockliffe. The points of the evidence given were as follows: Richard Connor, pilot on hoard the Bombay and an American, said that after lie told Captain Eyre that the vessel was turned far enough “a port” to avoid the Oneida, the captain said: “Let us go a little further.” At this time the two ves sels were a mile or a mile and a half apart. AN hen the Oneida turned across the bows ol the Bombay, Captain Eyre exclaimed; “My God, there is going to be a collision!” The witness answered: "It cannot be helped we have done all we can to get out of his way; he is in the wrong.” He then told the captain he “thought it was a Japanese by the way she acted.” He “sung out, and asked them what they meant?” The Bombay must have been going about six knots an hour. She must have struck the Oneida's starboard quar ter. Isaac J. Yates, master on board the Oneida testified as follows: “AA'heu the Bombay was a short distance from mo, I can't judge how far exactly, die put her helm to starboard; if she had not starboarded her helm when she did, I she would have struck forward of the point j which she did strike; I didn't hear any i order given on the other steamer; her hcliu must have been a-starhoard heard no noise on the steamer, and saw no sig I nals made of any kind before or after the collision; just as she struck some one j sung out, ‘AA'hnt the hell are you about?” whether jt was to some one on hoard the tni'ida or, to some one on the Bombay, I I cannot say; she struck our ship not long after-(.■irboardingher helm; her helm was j a-starboard when she struck us. “As soon as she struck the officers all rushed on deck; Captain AA’illiams was brought on deck by two men, and Mr. Stewart, as soon as he touched the ship's deck, ran to the port side of the deck, jumped upon an aim chest near the rail, and sung out in a loud tone of voice, ‘Steamer ahoy, you have cut us down, remain by usthe Bombay was at that time across the stern of the Oneida, but immediately went out of sight; I only heard Mr. Stewart shout out once, and I heard no one else hniljtlie steamer; i heard no one answer from the Bombay; he then went down from the chest and said, ‘For God's sake, arn't there any primers about here? where'sLangman, where's the gun ner's mate?’ all (lie primers that were aft were carried away, together witli all the rockets that had been made lip, and all the blue lights and signals which might have been available. I nomas Stevenson i\ pounds; I think the gun was tired j four times from the Oneida; all the shots i were from the same gun the sound of the fourth was, 1 think, somewhat smothered, as the vessel was about sinking; the lieutenant wanted the gunner’s mate to got primers and powder; I should judge the primers were got from forward; we tired lour times front the same gun. be cause the primers and the powder were at that gun, and I suppose Mr. Stewart kept them there; 1 only stayed there with hint until he tired that one gun; none of the guns were loaded at the time of the col lision. I should say that thirty seconds after the collision our whistle was blown, and that five minutes had elapsed before the first gun was fired. The Oneida floated fifteen i minutes after the collision.” Arthur Logging, chief officer of the Bombay, testifies: “The Captain was standing with the pilot, looking aft, and said, ‘it they want assistance they will certainly send up a rocket or two and fire I a gun,' he then asked the jpiJot, ‘what do 1 you think I had better do Do you think i she is much damaged The pilot said, •Xo, you can go hack if you like, but I do I not see that there is any occasion for it; you do not know what damage is done to vour own ship, and you have the mails on hoard, so you had bitter go on.’ The Captain then asked him, ‘Suppose she had met with any severe damage, is there any here she could go safely?’ the pilot said: ■Yes, she can run on the spit, which is close to her;’ the Captain also asked if she i‘could sink there?’ the pilot said ‘no;’ the Captain then said: ‘In that ease we will go on did not hear any sound j or voice calling; 1 was on the bridge till she cleared us, and could have heard if we lmd been hailed; 1 heard no gun* and I saw no signals of any kind from the other i ship; I was in a position to have heard anil seen if there had been any; the collision was just a touch." The finding of the Court was to the fol lowing effect: •\\'c find, from the evidence before us, that on a dark but starlight night, the 24th iJauuary last, the steamship Bombay, through no fault of her commander. Mr. Eyre, came iuto collision with the I’nited .states corvette Oneida, in the close vicini ty of Saratoga spit, situated some 10 miles from Yokohama. "That the effect of this collision on the Bombay was comparatively slight. I “That guns were tired from the Oneida

a* signal* ot dfo*rw» from 10 to lfiminutes after the collision took place. ••That the report of these guns was not heard, nor were the flashes seen on hoard the Bombay. ••That alter the collision, thr fact of the Bombay having he.cn hailed from the Oneida was reported to Mr. Kyre. ••That Mr. Eyre only knew that some of the upper works oT the Oneida had been carried away, and was unaware of the amount of injury sustained by her. That the Bombay was a mail steamer carrying passengers and cargo, and was built in compartments, only one of which was reported to him as making water las;. “That the whole of the extent of the injury sustained by the Bombay was not ascertained till the day following the col lision. I “That immediately after the collision it was not considered to be serious, for had it been so, it is natural to suppose that the knowledge of the pilot would have been availed of, and the Bombay run on to the Saratoga Spit. “That, in our opinion, no danger to the Bombay, her passengers and cargo, was apprehended by Mr. Eyre. “That from the question he asked the 1 pilot, he evidently thought that the Oneida might possibly have sustained serious in jury. ‘•That be waited at the most five minutes after the collision to see if signals of dis tress wore made from the Oneida. ••That after his ship again proceeded lie gave no orders that a lookout should be kept in the direction of the Oneida. “That had he or any one else been keep-! inga proper lookout the flash of the One ida's guns must have been seen, though their report might not have been heard. “Under nil these circumstances it be comes our duty to pronounce whether, in our opinion, Mr. Eyre was justified in pro ceeding on his voyage without waiting to ascertain whether the Oneida was in need of assistance. We recognise the fact that he w.is placed in a position of great dif ficulty and doubt, and in circumstances under which he was called upon to decide promptly; but we regret to have to record it is our opinion that lie acted hastily and ill-advisedly, in that, instead of waiting and endeavoring to render assistance to the Oneida, he, without having reason to believe that his own vessel was in a peri lous position, proceeded on bis voyage. “This conduct constitutes, in our opinion, a breach ot the thirty-third section of the sixty-third chapter of the Merchant Ship ping Act Amendment Act of lHfii, and we therefore feel called upon to suspend Mr. Eyre’s certificate for six calendar months from this date.'’ Jlailjj Jttnitf&ff journal A XT TJ S T A MONDAY MORNING, April 4, 1870. STATE OF MAINE. BY THE GOVERNOR. A PROCLAMATION. Avouching the Lord Jehovah, the God of our fathers, a* the rightful Sovereign to whom men and nations owe supreme obedience and worship, I do hereby, with advice of the Executive Council, appoint Thursday, the 14th day of April next, AH A I>AT OF Public Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer. And I earnest!) exhort the jieople to join on that day w ith i>euiteuce and confession in reincmltfring our low estate and utter need, that it may ho please God to grant His blessing on our suffering* and toils. Especially at this season, reminded of Him who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, may we find that Saving Help which condescends unto the low liest heart, and guides in righteousness the nations that acknowledge Him. Given at the Council Chamber in Augusta, this twenty-sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy, and of the Independence or the In i ted States of America the ninety-fourth. JOSHl'A L. CHAMBERLAIN. By the Governor. Fkankun M. Dui.nv, Secretary of State. The Progressive Age, of Belfast, pre sents the name in its columns of lion. 11b cnezer Kuowlton of Montville, as a candi date for the nomination of governor at the next republican State convention. Claim ing that Waldo county is entitled to the nomination the Age says: IVnobscot lias had within the past ten years a Governor, Hon. Israel Washburn. If local ity is taken into account at all, that county or congressional district is not entitled to a can didate at tills time, and the sauie may be said in regard to several other sections ol'the State. Since the formation of the republican party, two Governors have been taken from Penob scot, tiiree from Kennebec, one from Somer set and one from Cumberland. All the con gressional districts except our fifth nod the second have thus been honored. Why should not the claims of the filth district be now most favorably considered Arguments in favor of locality are some times overruled ill favor of the best and most popular mail; but in this case the reasons in l'avor of the candidate are no less strong than the locality. .Mr. Kuowlton is among the ablest men of the republican party of the State. He is a man of statesmanlike ideas. He has lmd experience in public life. As a representative to Congress from this State, at a critical period of the affairs of the nation, w hen old parlies were breaking up, lie bore a leading part. He D popular with the people. Ko man in the State would, we believe, as a republican candidate for Governor, receive a larger vote. We name him, therefore, feel ing confident that when the question of se lection shall have been fully considered by the republican? of the State, the choice at the convention must ultimately rest upon' him. The Red River revolt has come to an end. Advice* from Fort Garry to March 111 arc to the effect that all has been quiet since tbe execution of Scott, and that all political prisoners hud been released, in cluding Major Boulton, although prepara tion** had been made for his execution on the ISlth. He was saved by tbe interces sion of many influential citizen* and Gov ernor Smith. General Hancock has hail instructions from t|ie War Department to establish an American military' j«isl at Pembina, ami wiil immediately send two companies of infantry thither. NOy-SKCTAniAX SCHOOLS. A large and important meeting was held at Cooper Institute, Xrw York, on Wednesday evening, to petition the Leg islature for a repeal of the act passed last year, by which a large sum of money was secured annually for the support of the Catholic interest in the public schools of j the city "f Xew York. Resolves were j adopted which declare that “any and every religious sect which attempts to sup- j port its churches, sectarian schools, or j church charities, by the public money raised by general taxation is, by that act, uniting church and State, introducing see- j tarian bitterness into politics,and deserves the condemnation of all good citizens." j I’cter Cooper was chosen chairman of the meeting, with a list of Vice l’re>idents containing the names of many of the most distinguished men in the city, while the speakers, says the Tribune, “included the foremost champions of Protestantism, and I their cloipjcnt denunciations of sectarian j usurpation were received with unbounded j applause." We copy the following from i the remarks of IJenry Ward lieecher: “I did not conic lu re to-night, to say a sin gle word against the foreign population, for just as soon as they are American citizens they cease to he foreign citizens, and with generous and fraternal feeling we say that they should have exactly the same chance and the same liberties as we have; and we say fur ther than that—they shall not have one single more. [Applause.] Nor am X here to speak of the prejudices of one sect more than anoth er, for I bold that the Roman Catholic, as he is one of the most vcnurable aod respeetalde, lias just the same rights and privileges in our country as any Protestant; and we are not dis posed to lie a burden upon them, or to inaug urate or impose a disability on them that we would not do to our own church. I >ay for one that if this monstrous act had been 'perpetrated \.y the denomination to which T belong, I would have been tenfold more*vehement against them than I am against the Catholics. The moment you attempt to unite religion and education you go hack on the American idea—you have undertaken to make the school-house do that which may be done only by three separate institutions, viz., the family, the church, and the State. We say that no one, no power, has tile right to usurp this function, which is the business of the family, and the community, and the church. Now there is one thing that we have a right as Americans to say that we will not he dictated to. [Applause.] As a country of learning we defer to Oxford and Cambridge. We have something else to do in this country but study books we have a country to explore and till, and we are not far advanced in scholarship, and on many other points we acknowledge their superiority, but on questions of liberty ami progress we are ‘about as good as they. We will tell themthat we understand and know them better tlum they. [Applause.] We do not object when the emigrant comes here, nor to their antiquated notions in respect to clothing, good ideas, and their drinks, provid ed they drink for themselves and not for us to drink along with them. [Laughter.] Hut when they come, bringing notions of civil policy, we say to them. Now you come upon a ground that we know better than you do. Show us any good results achieved by any competent Government, and then we will take hold, but we do these tilings better than they do in Europe. [Applause.] In this lies the secret of public fraternity and we do not pro pose to go hack on it; we propose to stand by our schools that we have and we propose to guard against every danger and the danger of the priestly hand. •[Great cheering.] I have nothing to say against that great Homan sect which is interested in this change of policy. I do them the credit to say that in public ami otherwise they have made public their inten tions. In the Pope’s syllabus from Home it was announced that all schools under the care of the State and secular influences were to be disapproved ami denounced. They say that they believe that their policy is a just one and that they will light for it. We are to meet them and defeat them in the arena of public discussion, and in regard to the merits of this discussion experience has shown us that where schools are conducted on sectarian principles they are not profitable. None of the mischief has appeared that was predicted by many when the free school system was inaugurated. How noble and inspiriting it is to see the state educating ds children to be come good and proper citizens. In Europe the people receive their education through the Government; but here the people receive education through themselves, through its own citizens. They elect the body who es tablished the schools, and they are subject unto them, and they receive education through them. 1 say that a child is to he ed ucated in the most perfect manner in the knowledge of himself and his duties to men; hut leave the child's religion to the church, to the parents. In the American idea of subdi vision of functions you are to take the child in religion, not to the school-house but to the Sunday school, where religious education is to he taught, llis religious and secular edu cation is to he attended to, but there are vari ous subdivisions to accomplish it. A school house should be a moral and intellectual training school. I am not afraid of matching our children against any other nation on the faci’ oft lie earth, educated under the distinctive ly American idea, ami arc we to change it We do not object to children being educated in religious and secular knowledge, hut we do object to its being carried on under the same house; we do not object to their being educated by the priests, but we say that must lx* done at home, it is not a question of no school, it is a question of sectarian bias. I hope that the time will never come when the American people shall have to meet together to complain of the Free School system having been tampered with, thus vitiating the sacred fountain of knowledge for our beloved child ren." [Urcnt applause.] It seotus to he necessary to repeat, that tin’ former usury law of the State was re pealed by an act passed after the new in terest law was enacted, and that parties may now legally contract for such rate of interest as they wish. 'The objections made by a correspondent, in this paper, and re peated by others have no force. The old usury law was repealed, though not by the law establishing the rate of interest, but by an act afterwards passed. We stated this fact in a paragraph the other day but it seems to have been overlooked by some. If any one desires a ‘'dissolving view" that will do him good, he can look at the melting snowbanks and crumbling iee as they settlo beneath the warm sun. The banks oi the Kennebec are yet piled with huge t akes of iee, that look ill their soiled condition as if they hail come up from the depths, and hud hml a hard tussle with mother Earth to reach their preseut posi tion. The admission of General Ames to a seat in the United States Senate ends a i prolonged r the Journal. J(9ST A BIT OF A C0B1A TlOX. It seems to be almost impossible for any persons who haw to do with any examination or statement about the matters of enrollments or adjusting the balances between the State and the various towns, to present the public with anything like reliable information or re liable facts. To the “Hume Committee” appointed to investigate and make plain these matters, the public had looked and hoped for something, distinct and tangible that could be looked at and handled. Referring to the matter of charges against towns for their bounties advanced by the State, Mr. Hume says the towns knew noth ing of these charges until they came to draw tlieir bonds as allowed by the “Equalization Commission.” In his own words “these charges are said to have occurred late in 18G3 and in 18G4. of which, during the last six or seven years, many if not all the towns re ceived no notice.” Now to the facts. It is a matter of official record that every deficient town in Maine was notified immediately after the advancement of the bounty or as soon as a convenient and leisure moment could be found, and under this notice various towns did refund to the State treasury a total of more than one hun dred thousand dollars. This was refunded five years ago most of it. Some sixty thou j sand dollars have not been refunded, although 1 considerable has been paid by towns, since this report was submitted. These latter i towns were notified vl second time. The com mittee had evidence before them of the notifi- cation to towns of these advancemt nts. Why were they not willing to say in their report that as reliable a gentleman as there is in Maine,—the man who wrote and forwarded these notices and who was clerk to the Com mittee on “Equalization of War Debts,” came before tlieir (Hume’s) Committee, and stated squarely# distinctly and unequivocally that such notices were given and that he had largely to do with tlieir being made out and forwarded? What harm would this little piece of truth do?—We re-affirm that testi mony now. To another part of their report, well cal culated to mislead and exasperate towns. The report says, referring to the charges against towns, that ‘the committee found that on‘account of these charges towns were un able to draw the whole or any part of the bonds awarded them by the “Commissioners on Equalization.” This statement, we are authorized to say, is essentially deficient of any foundation in fact. Based on the state ment and practice of the State Treasury, we are authorized to say the claims of this class of towns have uniformly been adjusted— less the amount charged against them, and that is the manner of settling now—leaving the amount charged in the Treasury to be adjusted hereafter. This correction seems to he due the public and also officers who are sought to he put in a false position by this re port. It is also due the towns whose claims are complicated by these disputed charges. Open Handed. LETTER FROM VIRQ IS I A. Little Fltmoi th, King Co.. Va.. 3d month 27lli, 1870. 5 To the Editor of the Journal. Since my last to you 1 have been in Rich mond hut little. The case of Calioon vs. El lyson was being argued yesterday before the Supreme Court, which set on the 23d for that purpose. The decision will clearly be in fa vor of Mayor Cahoon, but it was currently rumored that Ellyson was not intending to obey the injunction, and was increasing the police force and arming them for a fight. This was believed to be true by many when I left the city yesterday. A large invoice of guns had been received and deposited in the City Hall, and other evidences made things look warlike. It is to be hoped tlrat nothing of the kind is really to be carried out. as it doubtless would result in serious bloodshed. I have visited lately Westmoreland County, and will relate an amusing incident which oc crured there. The State Supt. had made ar rangements for a colored girl (“octoroon"’) who had been educated in Charlottesville, to go to that county to open a school. She was to stop at Carter's Wharf on the Rappahan nock and to be met there by a man to take her 12 miles out in the country: but the let ters failed to reach the man, and she was left on the hands of M. A. Carter, who is wealthy and has quite a large family of children. She was taken to his house, the table, parlor, and lodged with one of his daughters; was advised to desist from her undertaking to teach "niggers" nnd return home. The girl knew how quick they would place her in one of the “quarters” with the black people if they knew of that small tinge of blood coursing in her veins, and in this situation wrote for relief, being out of money. On my arrival I found she was a great favorite with the fam ily; being a Virginian they would treat her more cordially than they would me, a yankec. I was amused to witness the parting scene— the profusion of kisses ftom the grandmother mother, girls, and even a brother who had be come so enamored with her sweet face as to make free to open his heart to her relative to his desire to sue for her heart and hand for marriage. This was a rich treat to me, es pecially on my return, after locating the girl in her future field of labor, to inform them that she was what the white people in Char- j lottesville styled a ’nigger.” My judgment is, the young man will not press his suit, or the family feel proud of their new acquaint ance, hut will doubtless feel chagrined for j having lavished so many kisses upon a negro, who 1 am proud to say, is far above them in mental enlture and possessing good moral ideas and proper notions of etiquette. After reaching Richmond 1 was ordered di rectly to this place. Came to West Point at 142. with some 2000 free-born blacks. The number ot colored people are about the same at this time, and only two schools. This ratio of school to the population holds good jn the State, as there are about 500.000 col- j ored population, and only 342 schools, cm-j ploying 408 teachers (202 colored and 200 white) having 17.440 pupils. This is a brief sketch of our work as it is 1 conducted in the State at the present time. We have a most lovely day here, and have had a large meeting, and I must be oil for Richmond. Samuel H.

Reuben Archibald; Right Guard, Edwin Storer: Markers, Bertie Fernnld. and Montie Keen; Drummer, Ly man Keen. Some of*the officers are soldiers who served through the late rebellion with honor, and helped sustain their country’s cause on many a bloody field of battle. We learn from the Argus that Messrs. A. J. Dearborn of Falmouth and Mr. Downs of i South Berwick, have taken the contract for j the construction of the new college building j at Kent’s Hill, which i> to be one of the finest in the State. It is to be of brick with French roof. Mr. Fassetof Portland is the architect. The contractors will commence work about the middle of April, and as they are men of enterprise and energy, will ••push things” and get the building ready for occupancy at the earliest practicable day. Hon. F. II. Morse, our Consul General at London, writes home that he witnessed the tests of the Sherman steel at the Dock yard a1 Chatham. The tests are made by direction of the English government and are satisfactory. Mr. Morse thinks the official report will be very favorable to Mr. Sherman. It will be remembered that Mr. Sherman, who was for- j merly a blacksmith in B icksport. has discov- j ered a method by which steel can be manu factured from common iron with great rapid ity. The following nominations made by C. 11. Whidden, Esq., Collector of Customs for the District of I’assamaquoddv, have been ap proved by Secretary Boutwcll N. B. Nutt Deputy Collector and Inspector at Eastport, I re-appointed; Sith W. Smith, Deputy Col lector and Inspector ct Calais, in place of B. M. Flint; Geo. M. B.

Folsom, Bangor Converting articles made j of iron into steel; N. C. Reynolds, Ellsworth; Boat, detaching apparatus; Under date of April 1^70, 240 patents will be issued. During the past week 308 applications and 07 caveats were tiled. There is to be a pleasant time at the Brews-1 ter Hotel, Skowhegnn, on Wednesday even ing next. Mrs. and Miss Sewall, so favorably known to musical and social life there, are to give a sociable,— on which occasion a choice supper, with other pleasant attractions, prom ise a rare entertainment to their many friends and patrons. The Waterville Mai! says that officer Ed- wards of that village, has raised a breed of liens that lays two eggs a day Don’t lay that! on too thick. We think the story must he j eggsagerated. City Marshal Bolton of Bangor, during the j past year, made fifty-three arrests for selling liquors. Of these in about fifty cases, the I sellers have been convicted, lie has made in all about one hundred searches, in sixty of which seizures were made—amounting in all I to 2ti!)5 gallons of liquors.

According to the Union Journal there is a 1 young lady in one of the Biddelord mills, who is worth at least §10,000; but who quietly works day by day, earning her six dollars weekly, instead of retiring vfith a competency. The Machias Union says that there will be three vessels built at Harrington this season; j one of about 880 tons by Kamsdell Kumhall; one of 200 tons by Messrs. Wass, and one of about 150 tons by S. W. Nash and others. Mr. Moses T. Cross of Bethel has put into the Androscoggin some three million of lum ber the past winter, which is to he sawed out by the Bethel Steam Mill Company. The Bangor Whig thinks the new census should have a distinct department for the enu meration of loafers. Hev. B. Blacker, Universalist, commenced his labors with the church in Kenduskeag on the last Sabbath. Steamer Charles Houghton begun hoc trips between Portland and Waldoboro last week. The river at Bangor is about clear of ice. It is sail that the Bangor trailers have agreed not to purchase any goods hereafter of commercial travellers, otherwise called runner*. Merchants in this city have not adopted any uniform policy towards commer cial travellers or drummers.” Sometimes they are annojing, hut often will sell hy sam ple artieles which otherwise would require a trip to Boston to secure. The Mail says that Mr. ,1. W. l’liilbriek. Master Machinist of the Maine 1!. H., who has been absent in Kansas for a month or two, returned to Waten ille about a fortnight ago, much improved in health. On his return he 1 was presented with an elegant and expensive cane, a gift from the employees of his depart ment.

Probably the section that has just been removed was weakened by the first lreshet. The water above the dam lias fillen abont three feet, leaving the canals nearly empty. The Masquerade Surprise Party is the in stitution of the season at Richmond. About fifty of the citizens of that town and immediate vicinity, in costume met at the house of Isaac A. Merriman, on Wednesday evening last, carrying refreshments with them, and made merry until the small hours. The removal of the masks disclosed that the company was composed of the elite of that and adjoining towns. A gay time was the universal verdict. Oupt. Nathaniel llohin-on. oneof the oldest if not the very oldest resident of Augusta, died on Saturday morning, at the advanced age of 1)1 years. Captain Robinson lias lived for many years upon the farm where Ite died, was a man of the strirtest integrity, bearing a character above reproach, with a generous heart in which there was apparently no guile, and lie naturally drew towards him many true friends and made no enemies. The funeral services will take place this afternoon at two o’clock, at the Unitarian church, to be con- j ducted by Rev. Wm. A. Drew. At a meeting of tile Haydn Association, held in this city on last Friday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President—Charles Milliken Vice Presi dent—diaries Ji. Johnson; Executive Com mittee—Charles Milliken, George E. Weeks, Daniel I). Scwall; Conductor—M. C. Milli ken; Pianist—Miss 11. S. Patterson; Secre tary and Treasurer—J. E. Robinson. This association was organized for the mutual im provement of its members, and tor the pur- pose of fully developing the musical talent in this city. They have met during the past winter for practice, and it is their intention before long to give a grand concert, w hich we hope will be liberally patronized. We are disposed to give the w riter of the following touching appeal “to the powers that be," a hearing in our columns on a sub ject that the lady petitioner deems of vital importance: To the lion. Mayor and members of the City Council: Wanteb—all llH‘ able-bodied nun compos ing the municipal officers of Augusta, to walk in procession through Orchard strict from Wintlirop to (irecti streets, in said city, any day after 10 A. M., until the first week in May, or if the spring be backward two or throe weeks longer. The condition of the side- 1 walk on Orchard street cannot wi ll be ex pressed by any one word. "Muddy" is alto gether too tame and doesn't begin to cover it. To say the least it is not creditable to the city to let the walks remain from year to year in suelt a state, that they are nearly impassable for six or seven weeks every spring. People ex pect the roads to he had while the frost is coming out of the grounds, hut to our finite judgment, there scents no reason why the sidewalks should not he something better than dirt. If a resident of Orchard street goes out in the morning before the ground thaws, lie must either remain out until it freezes again at night, or literally wade to get hack again. If one could have his choice don’t you think he would prefer to “sink or swim,” if either course be necessary, in some thing la tter than mud We have hoped continually for a change—a better sidewalk and a more complete drainage; all we wanted w.as a simple necessity, pro tection from sinking through to China. To our patience and long-suffering we have added prayer and supplication to those high in au thority. Thrice have our city fathers been ap proached on this very subject Once a petition was signed by the ladies and presented to the council praying that, as they had borne so much discomfort with so little grumbling, they might he heard then, and that a concrete walk might be laid the length of the street. Tltis was in the days of the democracy of 1801). Evidently the doctrine of Women’s Mights was not in favor, for the document was forgotten. Now I appeal to the members of the city government: are we asking for a luxury or a necessity, when we ask for a concrete walk on this street It would seem to be needed here, if anywhere. Directly at the foot of the hill' #vT>’ get the full force of the miniature torrents of melted snow which rush down the sides with the first warm days of early spring, and there being no decent drainage to carry it away, there the water stands until the ground thaws so it can escape that way, or until a midsummer sun will dry it. Men who pay taxes on property, should at least ho accommodated hy havingdecent side walks passing such property, and a sidewalk, with mud from eight to ten inches deep, is very far from passable. Were there no rem edy, we could utter no complaint, but it seems slightly unjust that improvements are neg lected here, where the need is so palpable. One who lives on Orchard Si kilt. Mr. Joursai. Will you be good enough to inform the public, why. at this muddy sea son. tile crossings on our principal streets, cannot he kept clear of mud One man, al ready in the employ of the city, cmpl iycd per haps for other purposes, might spend one or two hours of his time in clearing the crossings. It is too had to allow such a state ot things to exist longer. Our business as well as our comfort demands this reform. J.

It is by no means uncommon to rind cattle, and especially milch cow s, suffering from what is called Bone, disease. A very proper and significant name it is, for it is a weakness and frailty of the bones themselves, and is caused solely by the want of food contain ing a sufficiency of the indespensHrie bone mukiflg material. Phosphate oj Lime. 1 hoy have been feeding in pastures which have been robbed of w hat cannot be dispensed with in the structure ot bones, to such an extent that the cattle sutler. The instincts of the animal lead it to seize a bone just as hunger prompts us to eat loud. Most farmers understand the diagnosis of the disease, and many attempt a pallia-, tion of the evil bv feeding them with doses of hone meal. If they fully apprehended what a shiftless makeshift such a proceed ing is, compared with another method which would radically prevent the evil, largely increase their crops, and put money in their pockets, all by one operation, they would feed their hungry soils, and lot their hungrv cow s eat of the luxuriant and jully nutritious herbage w hich may be grown by the appluoittm of phosphates. Ket the cattle have all the bone-phosphate they need by all mean-, but make it do double service. T.et it increase the herbage and enrich the fodder in the first place, and after the phosphate has done tin-, and has itself been worked ov er and progressed and cooked and prepared by the processes ol nature into the tortn in which it ought to be administered. then let the cattle par tafet ot it daily and every time they eat.

A PERMANENT Cl HE OF (j» WEL OF TWELVE YEARS STANDING—STONE PASSED AND TO RE SEEN. Burnside, Conn Dec. 15,1SG8. Dr. IIelmhold— Dear Sir; It is with much pleasure that I write you upon fuetijf respecting my self. 1 do not know hardly how to express myself. 1 have been for the last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer man could be and live; but more sometimes than others. The complaint was the “Kidneys” and “Bladder.” 1 have been nometimes 1 from twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make water every minute, but could not. Have consult- ed doctors, both in Massachusetts and this State, and taken pills, 1 may say. by the quart, also li.j- uored medicines, but found no relict from any, and i got worse the last six months. 1 was so that 1*could scarcely gel about. 1 could not rest night or day. It would soon have been “all tip” with me if I had 1 not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire j Courier” headed “Kulnevs.” 1 read it through and thought I would try it. 1 purchased a bottle, but, mindyou, hud not much faith in it. Why* should 1, when 1 had been trying so many things and cost me so much Well, I began taking it. and before 1 had taken the first bottle 1 felt bad; but 1 finished it and got another. By the time 1 took half of the second I still got worse (apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney was falling from its place, and 1 felt really bad. I felt so, before I hail tlnished tiie second, that 1 hud made lip my mind it was of no use trying any more—and all this time the “Buehu” was doing its work, but 1 did not know it; so 1 gave it up and went to Hartford on Saturday to see one of tile best doctors in the citv. lie -aid it w as the neck of the hlad'h r, and 1 should have to undergo an operation. He gave me med icine, and I went home quite downhearted. On Sunday 1 wras unable to go to church. I had not taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin ued using the “Buehu,” and in the afternoon I had a desire to make water, but could not. About one hour utter this 1 tried again, with the same result; but the next time I took the vessel it was the same as turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It was so for three times, and the third time there w as something eatue through the passage and struck against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it, and it is the ugliest stone or gravel you ever «mv. cov ered over with little peiee* which collided together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as a flint. So you see the “Buehu” w as doing it> work although 1 was feeling so badly. 1 procured an other bottle thinking tlieir might lie some more be hind, blit since that has passed, which is eight weeks ago last Sunday, 1 have been as well as ever 1 w as in my life. 1 have the stone securely w rapped and those who have seen it iu this place, are sur prised. I cannot tell you all. hut this is a true story of my case, and you are welcome to make such use of my name as you think proper. I am pretty w ell known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad-, vertisement saved me. Why not publish more? The Springfield Republican is a wide-spread paper If any one wishes to see this wonder, they can do so. I could write all day, but think 1 have said enough this lime, so 1 remain vour ever w ell w isher, KDWAUD L HOWARD. Paper Maker, Burnside. Hartford Co., Conn. I REFERS TO Dr. MACK, Burnside, Conn.
