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 know the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma chine in the family, though they may possess many others and think they are satisfied. In proof of this assertion is the significant fact, That its strongest advocates and m"st enthusiastic admirers arc always found among those who have used and arc most familiar with other leading machines. From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, we select the follow ing from the city of Augusta AUGUSTA, March, 1870. Having used the Willeox A Gibbs Sewing Machine In our respective families upon all the various kinds of work required, some of us from one to six years, others for a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with the use of other leading machines, we cheerfully recommend it as a most excellent family machine. It runs easily ana quietly, is simple and easy in its 'Management, does not get out of order, is always ready, its work is strong aud durable, and in all respects gives most entire satisfaction Mrs. S.

[Double C'ogw uml Double Prepare.] THE 8TR0NGEST BEST WRIN6ER IN THE MARKET. It is often asked, IIhy is it that the Universal Wringer in so mncli more durable, works so much easier, and wrings articles drier than any other wringer? We reply, The Universal Improved has Rowell's Patent Double Cogs on one end of the roll, in combination with the Patent Stop, (which is in no other wringer,) to prevent the Dou ble Cogs from separating so far as to lose their power. i These Patent Double Cogs have very long and strong alternating teeth, and can raise sufficiently to let through the largest article easily, yet cannot separate so far as to disconnect and lose their power, but always retain complete control over the rolls, which is of the greatest importance to the du lability of the machine and ease of operating. XOTICE. The Importance of this is not generally under stood, and people sometimes buv a wringer with single cog-* on l»"th ends of the shaft, expecting to get the same advantage, but as articles can dis'-on nect the-e single cog-wheel-* continually on either one side or the other, cue-half of the power of the cogs is constantly lost; or if a large article passes through the centre, all the cogs are frequently dis connected and rendered useless. Such a wringer has double cogs for wringing a very f-ninll article, but practically only Single Cogs for a medium arti cle. and no cogs at all iora large article,'when most needed. The Universal” also has the peculiar advantage of two pressure screws, so arranged with the Pateut Wooden Springs, that each screw presses on both ends of the roll alike, the same as it it was in the centre, while the two together give double the ca pacity for pressure. The Universal” has the patent LEVER CLAMP which takes firm hold of the tub by pressing on op p*-it** sides of the same staves (thus avoiding any possible strain or injury to the tub), and is adjust able by a -ingle screw to tub- of any size or curve. The’'• Universal” has all its iron part-* either wrought or malleable iron, and is built so strongly and substantially that for years it cannot be broken m wringing garments bv the strongest person. It is al.-o improved in appearance by having all it- iron parts nicely tinned. We will now furnish the various sizes of this best and strongest of all \N lingers, on as liberal terms and at asT *w prices, in either large or small quan tities, as other licensed wringers can be obtained.

Thare iz one man in this basement world that 1 always look upon with mixt feeling* ov pity and respect. But thare Iz oue man in this world to whom I alwus take oph mi hat, and re rnuiu uncovered until lie gets safely by, and that is the distrikt skoolmaster. When I meet him, I look upon him as a marter just returned from the stake, or on hiz way thare to be cooked. He leads a more lonesum and single life than an old bachelor, and a more anxious oue than an old made. He iz remembered just about as long and affecktionately az a gide board iz by a travelling pack peddler. If he undertakes to make his scholers luv him the chances are he will neglect their laming; and if he don't lick them now and then pretty often, they will soon lick him. The distrikt skoolmaster ain’t got a friend on the flat side ov earth. The boys snowball him during recess, the girls pat water in his hair die, and the skool com mittee make him work for half the money a bartender gits, and board him around the naborhood, where they give him rhy coffee, sweetened with molasses, tew drink, and kodtish bawls three times a day lor viltles, And with all this abuse, 1 never heard ov a distrikt skoolmaster swearing any thing louder than—Condemn it. Don’t talk tew me about the pashunce ol'anshunt Job. Job had pretty plenty ov biles all over him, no doubt, but they were awl ov one breed. Every yung one in a distrikt school is a bile ov a different breed, and each yung one needs a different kind ov poultiss tew get a good head ou them. A distrikt skoolmaster who duz a square job takes his codfish bawls reverently, and iz a better man today tew hav lieing around loose than Solomon would be, arrayed in all Ins glory. Solomon was better at writing proverbs and managing a large family than he would be tew navigate a distrikt school j house. Enny man who haz kept a distrikt skool for ten years, and boarded around the neighborhood, ought to be made a major general and hav a penshnn for the rest ov hiz natral days and a hoss and wagin tew dew hiz going around in. But az a general consequence a distrikt skoolmaster ain’t got no more warm friends than an old blind fox-hound haz. He iz just about az welcum sz a tax gatherer iz. He iz rospekted a good deal az a man is whom we owe a dept of 60 dollars tew and dunt mean tew pay. He goes through life on a back road, az poor as a wood sled, and finally iz missed—but what ever bekums of hiz remanes 1 kant tell. Fortunately, he iz not often a sensitive man if he was he couldn't enny more keep a distrikt skool than lie could file a kross kut saw. Why iz it that these men and wimmin, who pashuntlv, and with crazed brane, teach our remorseless brats the tejus meaning of the alphabet, who take the first welding heat of ourdestinyes, who lay the stepping stone and eucurridge them to mount upards, who hav don more hard and mean work than enny klass on the lutstool, who hav pr&id over the reprobate, strengthend the timid, restrained the out rageous, and flattered the imbecile, who hud lived on kodtish and vile coffee, and haiut been heard to swear—why iz it that they are treated like a vagrant fiddler, danced to for a night and paid orf in the morning, and eagerly forgotten? 1 had rather burn a coal pit or keep the flys out ov a butcher’s shop in the month of August than meddle with the distrikt skool bizziness.—Josh Billings. CURE FOR LOW SPIRITS. Exercise for the body, occupation for the mind these are the grand constituents of health and happiness, the cardinal points upon which everything turns. Mo tion seems to be a great preserving prin ciple of nature, to which even inanimate things are subject; for the winds, waves, the earth itseli', are restless, and the wav ing of the trees, shrubs, and flowers is known to be an essential part of their economy. A fixed rule of taking several hours’ exercise every day, if possible, in the open air, if not under cover, will be almost certain to secure one exemption from disease, as well as from attacks of low spirits, ennui —that monster who is ever waylaying the rich and indolent. “Throw but a stone, the giant diet.” Low spirits cannot exist in the atmos phere of bodily and mental activity.

Avouching the Lord Jehovah, the God of our fathers, as 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, AS A DAY OF Public Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer. And I earnestly exhort the people to Join on that day with penitence and confession in remembering our low estate and utter need, that it may so please God to grant His blessing oil our sufferings and toils.

Tli*' colored people of New York cele brated on Friday the Fifteenth Amend ment in grand style, as they had good rea son to do. They had a monster proces sion in the day, with banners and music, and in the evening Cooper Institute was packed full to listen to jubilant and elo quent Speeches. Wendell Phillips was among the speakers, llis remarks are reported as follows; I never expected to see this day. I have seen hours when I did not believe that this generation would see it—when 1 thought these solid arches of masonry would crumble before it came. We have been blessed by the most rapid advancement the Lord ever grant ed to n nation. It is only a short seven years siuce you were hunted in the streets of this j city—only seven years, and to-day that grand j procession wound up that same Broadway where then you wore fleeing for vour lives, and the law powerless to help you. History' has not such another picture to show. There i are four names that you should single out as ili-serving your gratitude above all others. Frst, the President whose first word on enter ing the White House was of you—President Grant; second, the nmn who availed himself ot a rebellion to lift American law up to such a high standpoint that it could see 4,000,000 of citizens where before were only 4,(MX),000 of slaves—President Lincoln. The third is John Brown. When he set foot at Harper’s Ferry Slavery died. The fourth name that! towers above them all—the name America has added to the short catalogue of the bene-; factors of humanity—the blessed of Almighty 1 God and all coming time, is that of William Lloyd Garrison. [Applause.] These are the four names which it seems to me should be preserved in your memories. I, like the others, who have spoken, would like to give a word of advice. I, too, have a text to preach from. Henceforth, in the true j sense you hold your fate in your own hand. Wo are no longer to blame for your deficien- ties or defeats. You stand with the sword; and shield of the human race, the ballot in your hand. No race with the power of the vote was ever permanently wronged except by itself. ’Never forgive or forget one thing; stand fast by that, and I don't fear your be coming Democrats. If there is a man-who votes wrongly in a question where color is concerned, never forgive nor forget it. If any man does an act, approves a measure, or submits tamely to a vote which takes from a man his rights on account of his color, for give him in private on your knees before God but in the voting-room, with your bal lot in your hand, never forgive him.. Keep a record of all such men. Recreant Republi can, or brazen-face Democrat, whoever he may be, whatever he may do, do never forgive him. R. E. Lee never did your race one half! the harm that half-baked colored men will do j in the next ten years by forgetting this kind of political sins. If you are hurt in the next ten years, it will be your own fault. No man nor class of men on this continent lias power l to injure you if you are true to yourselves. If I had any legacy to leave the race I have labored for all mv life, it would be this For the next 20 years to go to the ballot-box and vote, not as a Republican, or as a Democrat, nor as anything else except a negro. Our neighbors in the Canadian Domin ion have the promise, according to appear ances, of a lively summer’s work upon their hands, all of which they might avoid by simply annexing themselves to the United States. They have the Win nipeg or Red River rebellion to take care of, supplemented by a conjectured or real Fenian raid, and they1 are busy preparing a very large kettle’of hot water for them selves over the fishing question. It is said that Minister Thornton is occupying his attention with these matters, as well as softly endeavoring to bring about a i settlement of the Alabama claims. There will be u large gathering of tem perance forces at Auburn to-day, for pur poses connected with organization and! otherwise. There will probably be some movements of a jxditieal character, but what shape they why take does not definite ly appear, Jt 1s said that British influence is at j work to defeat our acquisition of San1 Domingo.

Oik* of our best exchanges has the fol low ing sensible ami timely article in rela tion tu the practice of villifyingpublie nieni which ought to be generally circulated and r»* ad. Fair eritieisin is one thing, but articles written merely for the purpoM of defaming public servants are quite anoth er. Sometimes by a sort of righteous com pensation, how ever, they build up the very i men they are intended to destroy It has become too much the fashion in journalism to use hitter and slanderous cpi f thets against members of Congress whose I public and private virtue is unimpeachable. and who are laboring with the most consci entious assiduity to serve their constituents and the country. A member of Congress is the representa tive not merely of his party, but of the peo ple of his district, lienee it is very unwise for the opposition press, witiiout the most un questionable cause, to publish evil reports concerning him. They tend to impair the usefulness of such representative, und cur tail his ability to bo of service to his constitu ents. *\Vhat would be thought of the mer chant who would employ and send through the country a ‘‘commercial traveler” to build up the business of bis house, and then dis tribute circulars all along bis route describ ing him as a liar and a scoundrel unworthy to lie trusted? The business of such an employer would lie little benefitted by the efforts of an agent thus i illified. A merchant so idiotic as to attempt to do business in this way lias probably never exist ed. There arc people, however, so inconsid erate as to imagine that they are, in some mysterious way. henefitting themselves by making their Representatives in Congress the targets of constant slanderous abuse. Few men arc fond of hi ing denounced in the newspapers. The best men are. perhaps, the most sensitive on this point; and no doubt ■nanv such have been deterred from entering upon a public career by the pestilent habit of wholesale denunciation which has recently grown upon the journalism of the countrv. If some of the newspapers do not mend their manners in this particular, we fear that be fore long none will be found in public life save men with characters so desperate that no additional obloquy can injurcthcirrcputation. together with a few who, martyr-like, are willing to endure anything in the zeal of their self-sacrifice for the public good. TIIE LATEST EARTHQUAKE. The news brought by the Panama steamer to-day includes a report from Guayaquil which will interest all who have noticed the remark able natural phenomena of the last few years —phenomena which have given rise to much serious consideration among scientific people, and to more wild and improbable speculation. In Guayaquil, between Point Fasado and Point Venado a peculiar volcanic movement has taken place. In a space of two leagues the surface of the earth undulated slowly, and two great chasms and deep circular excava tions were opened. A new lagoon was formed, and between the shore and the sea there ap peared a large-sized hill. During all this fearful commotion, the hills along the coast were observed to be in a state of unrest, and large land slides took place, carrying with them rocks and trees. For four days this agitation continued, the undulations being from west to cast. The precise date of these phenomena is not given, but they must have taken place early in the month of March. It w-ould seem from this that the throes of the earth which, a year or two ago, sent desolation and death through >ome of the populous districts of South Amer ica. are not wholly spent. GENERAL news. Cambridge and Oxford have tried their mus cles at the oar, and the former has triumphed. ohO.OOO French Canadians are said to be in the I'nited States. The hti.-band of Mrs. Bloomer has been re nominated for Mayor of Council Bluffs. Ohio is eighty-two years old, and Cincinnati was made gay on that anniversary Wednesday. It is reported that Andrew Johnson will very soon go to Europe for a visit of six months. Pitching horse-shoes is a fashionable amuse ment in Alabama. The Quebec shipyards are now building 19,100 tons of shipping—eight ships and eighteen barks. England uses 2000 tons of beeswax per annum, valued at $2,000,000. General Joel Palmer has been nominated by the Uepubltcans for Governor of Oregon, and G. Wilson for Congressman. A Parisian horse-eater thinks that after be ing carried for years by his horse, it is only fair that the horse should, in turn, he carried by him. Paupers go on dying of starvation at a ter rible rate in England. There were 3000 deaths from starvation in ten years. The Fond du Lac people are going exten sively into the cultivation of the sugar beet, and have sent to Germany for seed. There are 2fi papers published in Lon don. 793 in the provinces, in Wales 55, Scot land 131. Ireland 129, Isles lfi; in all 1399. Governor Haight is severely censured in California for approving the bill granting $15,000 of the public school fund for the Catholic schools of San Francisco. It is announced by the proprietor of one or two watering-place hotels that the priee of ac commodation for the summer will be reduced. All should follow suit. General Howard offers the committee ap pointed to investigate the foundation for the charges preferred against him by Fernando Wood all the facilities at his command. George Hunnewell was pardoned out of the Boston State Prison on Thurday, where he was sentenced for arson twenty-two years ago, to serve for life. He is now 59 years old. The Pope finds the (Ecumenical Council an expensive affair. He isrepbrfed to have said, j ■‘In their eagerness to make me infallible they will make me fail.” By the new act of Parliament abolishing im prisonment for debt in England, there will no longer be proclamation of outlawry. Small pox is raging fearfully in some parts j( Arizona. In Tucson the average number af deaths was fire a day. There was a terri- I hie mortality, considering the population. It is proposed by telegraph operators to pre- sent Prof. Morse, the inventor, who is nearly eighty years old, with a national testimonial. Only fifteen yards of rock remain to be perforated in the Mont Ceni* tunnel. The J length of the galleries now open exceeds 11,- I 2$u yards. I Tlie impoitations of wheat, oats, and other j grains in England, from the Baltic provinces j of Russia, have been so heavy lately as to 1 ricprfM the breadstuff* market at London and Liverpool. A crab weighing forty pounds was found clinging to the mast head of the Oneida in Yokohama bay, and a taxidermist in San Francisco is preparing him for exhibition, to remind people of that awful catastrophe. Among the antiqnities lately discovered at Rome is a portable iron kitchen, which shuts i and opens; when closed there is one place for coals xml a saucepan; when open, the kitchen is in the form of a star, radiating from this centre furnace, and at the end of each ray is a little furnace, with places for cooking j utensils. Amongst other treasures at Delhi is a piece I of marble bearing upon it wliat the faithful declare to be the impress of the Prophet's foot. When these curiosities were being ex hibited to the Duke of Edinburgh, on his re cent visit, one of the suite asked the man who showed the objects, “How could Mo hammed make an impression with his foot upon marble?” “As your prophet raised men from the dead,” was the reply, delivered witii the utmost solemnity. The Navy Department has received de spatches from Commander Truxton, of the United Slates steamer Jamestown, dated from Eeejee Islands. The commander states that the inhabitants of the islands are anxious to establish an independent government, and come under the protection of the United States, but are afraid to make any move ow ing to the menacing attitude of the ISritish authorities, who threaten to arrest all per sons attempting anything of the kind. It mnv interest vessel owners and seamen to learn that the experiment of water ballast for iron ships has been satisfactorily tested, and promises to have a marked effect in the economy of navigation. Vessels built with t water compartments can thus take in or dis- j charge ballast at any time, keeping them- i selves in perfect trim. Steamers tints pro- vided may begin a voyage with no ballast but their coal. As this is exhausted, water could be pumped in, and the necessity of starting with an overloaded ship in order to carry s sufficient coal for the voyage, and ballast to f serve when the fuel was nearly exhausted, could be entirely overcome. The plan has already been extensively adopted in pleasure 1 and racing yachts, to diminish the danger of t the vessel sinking in ease of being capsized, i Many of the finest Tyne-built ships are now r being constructed on this principle. t For the Journal. NOTES ON WORDS. 5 There are many errors in the use of t words current even among persons of i good education. To employ the English language with unfailing correctness is a 1 high and rare attainment. A sharp and watchful criticism is necessary to guard against corruptions of speech. The following notes arc taken from j “Gould's Good English,” a work whose high authority will not be disputed by those acquainted with the reputation of the author. First may be mentioned some spurious words, i. e. words which have no proper place in the language. They may be found in dictionaries, and are sometimes employed by authors of repute, yet they arc condemned by the best criticism and t ought to be avoided by those who desire 1 to use the language in purity. i Jeopardize.—The proper word is, jeop- 1 ard. Leniency.—Instead of this, lenity should be used. The other form, although given by Webster and Worcester is not needed nor is it justified by the precedents of the language. Underhanded.—This word is formed by adding cd, a participial termination to the adjective underhand. The addition still leaves the word an adjective without mod ifying the sense of the true word. Donate is a word which ought to be left to those who perform “fine writing,” a style in which excellence is measured by the length of words rather than theit fit ness. The word give expresses the same idea with more simplicity and strength. Authoress.—The entire number of words denoting persons which properly take ess to designate females is von small. A majority of these are titles where the dis crimination is a matter of necessity, as, abbess, empress, &e.; as they are words of which the primary forms are suggestive of men, and which therefore require the change when they arc applied to women, such as ambassador, yovernor, priest, itc. In addition to these are some words which long usage has sanctioned, although the primary words servo all the purposes of their substitutes, as actress, benefactress. Hut authoress and poetess are superfluous, since nothing in either author, or poet indicates sex. Firstly is improperly used for first. Towards.—There is no warrant for tlic addition of in this word except the inci dental perhaps accidental use of it by cer tain old English writers. We do not know but that the fault may have been with the printer. The addition of s to such words as any where, everywhere is very vulgar. Standpoint is not an English word. Point of view is the proper expression.

Tilt Portland Argus of yesterday tills the following story: “An assistant of Mr. Cur rier, the undertaker, as engaged in digging a grave in the old Eastern Cemetery in Port land, Monday. When down a little way his spade suddenly plunged into vacancy, lie removed it with an exclamation that he lmd struck into another grave, (they arc pretty thick there) hut put the spade into the hole to ascertain as to its depth, when suddenly there dashed out of the lode a magnificent black fox. which dodged two men standing near by and ran with great leaps to the fence, which it scaled with a single bound. How this fox came there is a conundrum, and a hard one. That it was a fox there can be no doubt. The description is explicit. It either strayed in from the country or escaped from some travelling show, and finding poultry plenty on Washington street and quarters free front ordinary intrusion in the cemetery, concluded to remain.” There was launched from the yard of Messrs. Neutie Levy, Philadelphia, April 2d, the steamtug Ralph Ross. The Uangor Whig says site is 103 feet long on deck. 21 feet breadth of beam and it feet depth of Hold. She is sup plied witlt two condensing engines, and is de signed for the general towing and wrecking business on the Penobscot River. Her fittings are very complete, being furnished with a double acting steam pipe, fire engine and wri cking pumps. The Ralph Ross is owned by apt. Hugh Ross of Bangor, and will be commanded by ('apt. George W. Snow, lace of tlie steamtug Terror. We learn .front the Whig that the mills in Orneville, owned and occupied by Messrs. Hallowell, Rice Co., of Bangor wa« des troyed by fire at noon Monday.. One of the buildings was occupied in the manufacture of I Excelsior for filling mattresses, anti the other was used as a grist mill. A large portion of the lumber was saved. The fire caught while the workmen were at dinner. The proprie- j tors were putting in new machinery and pre- j paring to do a large business the coming sea son. Loss quite is quite heavy. No insur- ance. We learn from the Tress that Hon. Geo. W. Randall of Portland, lias received an appoint ment of Time Keeper and Superintendent of granite cutting at the Cape Ann granite quar ry, at Hodgkin Cove. The granite is to be used for the new Boston Post Office and Sub Treasury department. Messrs. Stacy Stanley, have sold their stave, shingle and planing mill at Kezar Falls, to Mr. John Devreaux. of Parsonsfield, who is intending to erect a first class flouring mill at that place the coming season. The Oxford Democrat says Kezar Falls is prospering. We learn from the Gardiner Reporter that Master Hinds lias commenced work on the frame of a schooner, at the Stevens yard, in l’ittston village. The vessel is to be 173 tons burden, old measurement, and first-class in every particular. The Democrat says Rev. Samuel Paine, who has so long successfully labored as Pastor of the Methodist E. Church in Oxford, is about closing his three years’ labors with that soci ety. preparatory to going to other fields. A crippled child of Edward Varney, of Por ter, aged about 6 years, was so shockingly burned, one day last week, by its clothes tak ing fire, in the absence of its parents, that it survived its injuries but a few hours. Five ice house have been erected in the town of Bowdoinham during the past winter season. About 15,000 tons of ice have been harvested, by different firms and companies. The bridge between Bucksport and Verona was considerably damaged by the ice as it was leaving the Penobscot. “Augusta calls loudly fur the removal of the obstructions in the river below that place— booms, etc,—which are thought to have con tributed to produce the late disastrous flood.

Do you ever see any un friendly remarks made by our Augusta papers in the direction of Waterville? Never! Never! For the gratification of otir neighbor, we can assure him that a sufficient portion of the hated Augusta dam lias gone off to the foun dation, to allow the fish to go up and be stopped at the Waterville Dam, where Bros. Maxham and Wing will no doubt make a large haul of salmon, shad and alewives this season. We have seen no paper in this city crying on account of being gored hv an ox.

It is argued that some men live at a great age, because the doctors have never had a fair chance at them. The meeting of the Dirigo Base Bail Club has been postponed one week from this (Wednesday) evening. A young man examined a keg of damaged gunpowder with a red-hot poker to see if it was good. It is believed by his frieuds that lie has gone to Europe (You rip). The letter from Skowhegan on a local and personal matter, will be returned, together with its contents, to the writer, when the name of the same is made known to us. Anothof small portion of the Kennebec dam went away yesterday. It was that portion that was just visible above water oil the west side of the break. The recent ruin has caused the water above the datn to rise to such an extent as to fill the canals, and the machine shop is running un- j dcr full head. Mr. Orne gave a very interesting lecture j last evening on the subject of temperance. We shall give a brief synopsis in to-morrow's paper. There ia a report that the dam at Kendall's Mills was carried away yesterday, but we can learn nothing authentic in regard to it up to the present writing. Mr. Henry Shiel of Portland, now holding the “gold mounted Cue," the emblem of the i Bi liard championship of the State, has been challenged to pay for the same hv Mr. Chas. j Smith of this city. The game will take place in Portland un the 12th of May. In observance of the Governor’s proclama tion, we shall issue no paper on Friday morn ing. Our counting-room will be open to morrow until ten o'clock, for the delivery of pipers to subscribers, and for the transac tion of necessary affairs. Papers will be sent by mail and city subscribers supplied by car riers, as usual. There will be union services on Fast day at the Congregational church. Preaching by the pastor, Rev. I)r. Binuham. The public are cordially invited to attend. There will be services at the Episcopal church, forenoon and evening; in the forenoon at 9 o'clock, and in the evening at 7J o'clock. Preaching by Bev. Mr. L’pjohn. The Kennebec Journal reaches us very ir- regularly, sometimes, coming only once in two or three days. We dislike to miss this enterprising daily. What's the trouble?— Hangar Jlailg Whig. We don't quite understand this. The Daily j is mailed regularly to the Whig, and should j certainly reach Bangorevery night. We hope there is no trouble witli the broad gauge. Sometimes since we called attention to the direct cause of a large part of the taxes to j support the poor—viz: the use of ardent spirits. We were informed yesterday by a i gentleman who knows whereof he affirms, that in one ward in this city there are thirty families who are liable any day to become a city charge in consequence of the drinking habits of the husbands and fathers, and this notwithstanding the city officials are doing so well in their efforts to close the dram shops. Yesterday afternoon, as Allen Lamhard, Esq., was driving down Winthrop hill, nearly opposite the residence of ii. S. Osgood, his hors* stepped into a soft place in the street, j where the hard pan below had been broken in by the frost, and became completely imbedded in the mud and mire. Mr. Lombard, who was in a two-wheel chaise, fell out over the horse and landing also in the tttud. This might on the first glance seem a nice little joke, but it was really wonderful that neither horse or driver was injured. Mr. Lamhard was driving with 1 his usual care, his horse not being urged faster than a walk. These dangerous places in our streets are very numerous at this season of the I year, und they should he attended to at once by the proper city official. Died, in this city, yesterday woruiug, Mr. II. M. Scnitou, aged (7 years. The sudden death of Mr. Scruton casts a deep giooin over a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was for many years pro- prietor of the Mansion House in this city, was an active business man, a highly re- •pcctable citizen, and agreeable in all the re lations of life. His health had been failing i for some time, although his last sir knots ami death came very sudden and unexpected. lie was attended by Dr. Briekett, who did all in i his power to prolong liis life, but disease had gradually fastened upon him and no power 1 could save him. May the loved ones who so i aadly miss him, bo sustained and consoled by j the consolations of the gospel. The funeral j of tile deceased will take place at his late res- i iilenoo on State street, on Thursday afternoon at two o’clock. About forty of the members of the Masonic fraternity of this city, in company with a del- egation from Gardiner. Hallowed and Port land, made an excursion to Skowhegan on Monday in acceptance of an invitation from Somerset lodge uf that place. They were joined at Skowhegan by members of the lodge in Anson. The Masonic services were those connected with the third degree. The occa- sion was a very pleasunt one, and was much j enjoyed by all who were present; even the genuine April rain diJ not throw cold water on j the uffair. We would here remark that one i 1 of the individuals whose promotion to the third degree had a weighty influence in draw ■ng out tins large number in attendance, is a j ■veil known and justly popular railroad con- !luctor. The reception given the visiting 1 brethren by the lodge at Skowhegan and the j Entertainment served were cordial und hearty he warm hand of friendship was extended to j ill. At the close of the work, remarks of velcomo and congratulation were made by Ivlr. Kimball, Master of Somerset Lodge, .nd Rev. Mr. Mason, Chnplaln of the lodge, who was born a Mason.) which were re*- tonded to in behalf of the visiting brethren >y Deputy Grand Master David Cargill of hit city, and the Chaplain of Bethlehem xxlge. The lodge room at Skowhegan, ,/hich was dedicated a few year* tince, i* fil ed up with taste and without regard to ex r proper arrangement of the emblems of the order, the ante rooms are large, numerous and convenient, nnd the members of the lodge are to he congratulated on the facilities with which they arc surrounded for the pr isecutinn of the work of the order. The growiag town of 8knwhcgan has with in its limits many business enterprises which are generally engaged in by its thrifty and in telligent citizens. One fact is refreshing. No one sees loafers hanging about street cor ners and beer shops, wailing for something to “turnup." The machine shops, paper mill, flour mill, planing mill, skate factory, and other places of industry, furnish remunera tive employment fora large class; nnd the working, industrious class forms the solid foundation on which rests the growth and prosperity of the town, and under these cir cumstances, there is no wonder that the place is constantly increasing in population and wealth. They grow men there, too—not pig mies, but stalwart, broad-shouldered men, w ith bodies erect, and countenances bespeak j ing earnestness, honesty and re-olution. I They are the kind of men that give dignity to human nature and credit to the Kennebec valley. Hallowell In 1*27. j There were, in Kennebec, during tb winter of 1827-8, three months (20 days) continuous J sleighing. This was before railroad- or ocean I steamers had diverted the business from llal lowell. At that time, the trade and travel from the Upper Kennebec, Androsco gin nnd Sandy ltivers, bad their chief centre in that village. Heavy teams in summer and autumn transported the goods and merchandise from her bu-y wharves to the country traders re siding in what are now Kennebec, Androscog gin, Oxford, Franklin nnd Somerset r unties, and sleighs, pungs and ox sleds, in winter, brought into market the surplus pro facts of the various townships embraced in that exten sive region—such at pork, beef, mutton, poul try, butter, cheese, apples, cider, hay, corn, beans, wheat, rye. bailey, oats, pea pota titi’s, turnips, cabbages, cirrots. &e. In the winter just named it was estimated that the Hallowell merchants purchased on a i aver age one thousand dollars' worth of country produce, every day, thus returning to the farmers of the interior, ninety thous ml dol-, lars in cash or goods in payment 1 1 r their marketable products. What the avaunt of sales from their stores in course of th winter was, we have no means of estimate g. But it must have been large. Even now ilaltow ell does a large and respectable business There are no more desirable residences in ;.ny city or town on the river. Bonfires. Don’t make your garden bonfires a‘ night fall. This is n dangerous practice. T.cashes left in tlie heaps at bed time will cover more or less of unextinguished brands, an should the wind arise in the night, when th- family are asleep, those ashes and fire brar: Is may be scattered in the direction of your bouse or outbuildings, and the first tiling you w ill know m*y be the cry of fire' and your dwellings may be consumed by the flames. It may please the children to set a fire at nightfall, but it is a dangerous business. Better set fire j to your heaps of garden haulm in the j,ianting, then they will have all day in which to be con sumed. whilst the tire can be watc’ *d, and when night comes there will l>e nothing left for the wind to ignite your buildings with. j Don’t pots oil your head with those miserable, filthy coui)K>unds whc h have done so inudi miv chief, but use Nature’s Hair Kestorativ. which I cleanses the scalp, restores gray hair, and checks I the hair from falling ff.

$1% jicmukc founutl Vn Expensive Fishing Excursion. A LAWMAKER A LAW-BREAKER. There is in Xew Hampshire a law by which all persons arc forbidden to take fish from Inc ponds through the ice in win ter, and fish wardens arc chosen in each townie see th.it this law is enforced. The penally is ten dollars for each offence. Among those who recently broke it, to his cost, was a gentleman who had represent ed his town in the legislature of the state, and had assisted in making the very law that he had transgressed. With three friends he started the other day to try liis luck. The Lowell Courier thus gives the sequel: The four sportsmen jogged on to the goal, merry with the thought of a good day's work, little anticipating the storm that was brewing in the rear. The day was all a sportsman could wish. Arriving at a pond, a verv short time sufficed to cm the holes, bait the lines, and try their luck Soon after these things were arranged, the call *liue down’ came so frequent that al four had as much as they could do to pul. up the fish, bait anew and adjust the sig mils. Time passes swiftly when people are busy, and nothing but the demands oi hunger will lead any one to give up sucl: animating sport. At noon they bad laic up forty-seven as handsome pickerel as at amateur would desire to see. While they wore taking their lunch at noon, jubilant over their morning" work, who should ap pear insight but t lie Frances to w iCtish war den and his twelve hardflsted backers. Marching up to the sportsmen in a solid phalanx, the warden addressed the trans gressors ‘Gentlemen, I arrest you in the name of the state." ‘And pray,' said the lawmaker, ‘for what arc we arrested?’ ‘For violating a law that you assisted to make,’ responded the official; ‘for tak ing fish through the ice froth yonder pond. You will please accompany us before a magistrate and settle the matter with him.’” The warden gathered up the spoils as evidence of the guilt of the parties, and the sportsmen, with half-satiated appetites and lengthened phizes, were marched into town surrounded by the ‘posse,- and es corted by all the boys in the neighborhood. Having nothing to offer in extenuation of the offence, the party were fined ten dollars for each and every fish taken, making an aggregate of $170. There is a talk of petitioning to oust the offending member from his seat in the legislature, as an of fering to the offended majesty of the law." Fire Melicines ail Meals!

In point of literary ability this Review is fast rising to a level with its competitors. It is tho advocate of political and re ligious liberalism. 4. The North British Beview, now in its 51 st volume, occupies a very high posi tion in periodical literature. Passing beyond the narrow formalism of schools ami parties, it appeals to a wider range of sympathies aud a higher integ rity of conviction. 6.
