The wormwood and the gall were so mixed in its nature, that more than a third part of the waters of the Main Sewer be came wormwood, and the celestial ranger had to be quenched. No more shining with a borrowed light—no more sneaking behind the points of a star to abuse your neighbors; but hereafter if star shines it must be by the light of its own glimmer. We were certain that a little sunlight thrown in upon this luminary, showing the people the source of the vile personal at tacks, would have the effect to blot it from the firmament of democratic slang, for the reason that every person in this community would at once see that personal hatred and prejudice should furnish no excuse for abusing in the public prints a man honored and beloved not only by his district, but by the nation. Bank locks, burglar-proof vaults, or years of pretended retirement from the political arena, should not shield a man in the perpetration of this outrage, and the cause of truth and justice will not suffer by the exposure of the criminal. There is but one thing to regret. How dreary and lonesome will appear the Sewer, now that it will be no longer illu minated by the star As you mourn, im maculate sheet, that this sw eet and gentle luminary hath gone out in darkness and in night, oh, be consoled by adopting the language of A. Ward: Be still, nr sole, be still. A you, Hart, stop cuttin up.” If the death appears to be premature, remember that 4 Full many a gem, of purest ray serene, The dark, uufathomed caves of ocean bear. Full maay a tower-* and so forth. The July Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture contains an interesting statement ta regard to the prospects and condition of the growing crops. In re gard to Wheat it is said that the great wheat-growing districts show a reduction in condition, rendering it certain that the crop of the year will be materially less than that year of 1869. Future reports of condition at and after harvesting are still elements of the ultimate estimate, but the average depreciation of 13 per cent., and the diminution in breadth of about 6 per cent., would make the present estimate about 210,000,000 bushels, the decrease being at least 48,000.000. The increase in the breadth of Corn planted is greater than the decrease in av erage of Wheat. It may be placed at cent., or about l,7o0,000 acres. There appears to be a very alight increase in few England, about 2 per cent, in the Middle States: a decrease in the cotton States, cast of the Mississippi; an advance of 7 or 8 per cent, in Southern States west of the Mississippi, and a still larger in crease in the heart of the west. It is es timated at 10 per cent, in Illinois, 10 in Indiana, 5 in Ohio, 2 in Michigan, 8 in Wisconsin, 20 in Minnesota, 15 in Iowa, 25 In Nebraska and 15 in Kansas. In New England and the Middle States the pros pect is full of high promise for the crop, while throughout the West the indications of a good crop have never been so general since the inauguration of official crop re turns. In regard to Cotton, the report says the increase of acreage averages 12 percent., and aggregates nearly a million of acres. It is almost literally true that “the people are devoting all their energies to the cul ture of cotton.” With an average season the present acreage should give nearly three and a half millions of bales; with one of the extraoidinary length of the last, the product would be little short of four millions—which was of so remarkable a character for continued growth and late picking that our October estimate, a rea sonable one at the time, of 2,IKK),000 bales, was advanced at the close of the season to 3,000,000. The Oat crop is looking better than would have been expected in view of the i heat and drouth of the season, and the Fruit crop will be good in quantity and quality POLITICAL. The Calais Advertiser is of the opinion that the vote at the September election, like the hay crop, will be light. A writer in the Argus, calling himself “Free Dance,” takes a step or two in ad vance of the idea of the Belfast Journal, that is so “set” upon maintaining the or ganization of the democratic party.” He says: “The more ardent and progressive of the Democracy have yielded for years, their better judgment to a desire for unity in the party; and have submitted to a lipe of policy which has kept it in a hopeless minority for years, ami from which there I has been no apparent chance to immerge. j Our young men have left us. In many localities they are injured socially and in their business by their adhesion to our for tunes. We have taken no onward steps, but have, under the guidance of mistaken leaders, adhered to and insisted upon the formal annual expression of a set of stan dard principles, which, however true they may be and of however much value in the abstract, do not contain the issues now before the people and are of no practical importance this time.” lher<? is sin honest confession, and we hope all young democrats will read and ponder it. It is a fact that “young men are injured socially (and morally) and in their business by their adhesion” to the corrupt old ark of democracy. A person is always judged by the company he chooses to keep. Suppose a man were found swimming around in the Main Sew er, and some one should offer him a help ing hand to assist him out, but he should choose to paddle round in the dirty waters? Wouldn't he be a fit candidate for the Insane Asylum But that is just the condition the young democrats of Maine are in if they arc still willing to risk their reputation with the bogus dem ocratic party. The Republican State Convention of Massachusetts is to be held at Worcester on the 5th of October. Andrew Johnson is about to resume stump speaking in Tennessee. Andrew has as many lives as a cat. The election of Hon. John Lynch, in the First District, is an assured fact. GENERAL NEWS. John A. Mack, formerly end man with Morris Bros. Minstrels, died at San Rafeal, California, Saturday. A damaging fire is raging on the Pine Plains Woodland near Fishervillc, in New Hampshire. The Treasury Engraving Bureau has al ready executed fine vignettes of Benton, i Wolcott, Morris, and other celebrated Amer 1 lean financiers, and numerous handsome de signs tobe used on the new bonds provided for in the funding bill. How long does a widow mourn? For a second. The Boston editorial excursion party to California and Utah are in high spirits with thier cordial reception and the grandeur of the natural scenery they have seen. They have visited the principal agricultural and horti cultural regions of California, nnd speak in terms of astonishment of the fruit culture. Dr. J. G. Holland is to edit Hours at Home, with a quarter share in the proprietorship. An Iowa farmer successfully stopped a little girl from stealing his blackberries by i stoning her to death. The agents ol the American Bible Society are putting Bibles in all the passenger trains of the Louisville and Nashville Railroads. The second class screw steamer Guerierc, having recently been repaired at the New York Navy Yard, is now ready for sea, and her officers will be ordered to her on the 10th of August. A Troy lady who was kissed by a promi nent farmer front a neighboring burgh, liked it, but her husband didn’t, and wants $1000 worth of satisfaction. A Chicago lady, three weeks married, wants a divorce. The Prussian army lost 148 by suicide last year. Haynes City, Kansas, has a female consta ble, and the young men are in constant dread that she may have an attachment for them. The present population of lloston is esti mated at 285,000, with a real and personal estate value of $569,827,300. Michael Gleason, brakeman on the Hudson i ltiver railroad, was killed Wednesday while walking on top of a car, hi* head coming in in contact with a bridge. It was his first and last trip. It is morally certain that the lair regions of the Rhine will be the territories which will he drenched in human blood ere the presant war is over. The rush of the great armies of both nations is to that famous river. The Prussian fortresses may be said to line its banks, while the territory which France covets in order to “rectify her frontier” and complete her “nat ural boundary," lies along its eastern hank. A Chicago paper is responsible for the story that a few days since some boys in that city dropped an anvil weighing two hundred pounds out of a fourth story window on the head of an African who was passing, and he had them ar rested. He said he was willing to let the boys i have fun, but when they jammed a “gemman's” hat down over his eyes and spoiled it in that way the law must take its course. The Kev. John S. C. Abbott is faithful to his old service. In four solid columns of the New Ilaven Journal he laboriously fails to prove that Napoleon is a patient, long-suffer ing, much abused innocent, whom Prussia has been provoking by injustice of every kind, till at last the French nation has forced its ruler into the war. Bad as the exhibition is, it be comes pitiable when we observe that Abbott really seems to believe it. Americans arc said to be the greatest wear ers of gloves of any nation in the world. Our railroad statistics show more strikingly than any other evidence the wonderful growth of the country. The railroads of the United States in 1851 did not exceed 5,000,000 tons, and the total comings from freight and passen gers did not exbeed $20,00*),000. In 1809 the tonnage of all our railways exceeded 100,000, 000 tons, and their earnings from this source equalled $300,000,000. It is notice ible that the increase in tonnage during this period has been twenty-fold, while the increase in the earnings has been but fifteen-fold, thus evi dencing the important fact that, notwithstand ing the general rise in all values since 1851, there has been a considerable decrease in the cost of railroad transportation. The aggregate appropriation of this year for the Agricultural Department is $135,280. .This department was created in May, 1862, and the appropriations for the first year of its existence, were but $23,000. Laselle’s Butcher Boy died while racing at the Fashion Course Saturday. Loss $6000. The heat at Philadelphia Monday was in tense, the thermometer being 96 in the shade. Fifteen cases of sun-stroke were reported, seven of which proved fatal. Several inad I dogs were shot. As Mrs. Margaret Seefer was walking on Fifteenth street, somu person cried out “mad dog.” She turned and saw the dog immediately behind her and fell dead from fright. San Francisco swells have adopted liigh heeled boots. A German mass meeting in behalf of the Prussian cause was held in Faneuil Hall, Bos ton, Wednesday evening. Speeches in Ger man were made by Professor E. C. Krauss and S. It. Kohler, and in English by the Rev. Dr. Hedge and the Hon. Thomas Russell, i Resolutions were adopted and much enthusi asm was manifested. Where therefore lies the German land, Name now at last that mighty land, Where’er resounds the German tongue, Where German hymns to God are sung; There gallant brother take thy stand, That is the Genuau’s Fatherland. That is his land, the land of lands, Where vows bind less than clasped hands, Where valor lights the flashing eye, Where love and truth in deep hearts lie, And zeal enkindled freedom band,— There is the German Fatherland. That is the German Fatherland Great God! look down and bless that land, And give her noble children souls To cherish while existence rolls, And love with hearts, and aid with hand, Their Universal Fatherland. LETTER FROM BELFAST. July 27th, 1870. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: It« is no use to occupy a stickful of space in telling you or your readers what you all knew before in regard to the weather, so 1 pass over that interesting subject. But 1 must just say by way of parenthesis that last Sunday was the Jioltest day ever known here, without regard to the opinion of that ubiqui tous personage, the oldest inhabitant. When we record 95J and97J in the shade, it is about right for high j isn’t it Notwithstanding the high temperature which is not conducive to coolness, we have all been in a high state of excitement lately and all about our railroad—the Belfast Moosehead Lake Railroad. Some days ago the directors reported that some 4100,000 more of available funds were needed to finish the road in time to accept the terms of the contract with the Maine Central—’Nov. 1st. And the question was, how to get it? Three public meetings have been held and it was hoped some ar rangement could be made with our wealthy citizens to take stock and advance the money, but we were unsuccessful. It has finally been decided to avail ourselves of the act of 1807 which allows towns and cities to vote five per cent, of their valuation in aid of railroads and a public meeting for the purpose will be called in due course of luw. We are bound to finish the road on time. The relatives of the young lady, Miss Helen Smith, who was reported as having committed suicide here last week, say that she took the arsenic for improving her complexion, and her death was caused by an overdose. She was 19 years old and was from Mass., on a visit to her relatives here. It is a sad warn ing to those foolish girls who are thus tamper ing with their healtli and lives. stir outwardly in the political pools, dui i plenty of underground work. We suffer from nn excess of republican candidates. For Scn j ators five; jClerk of Courts five; Commis sioner four. Sheriff Calderwood has no op 1 ponent and will receive the nomination. Con vention not called yet but will come off about the middle of August. County Lodge of Good Templars hold a quarterly meeting Wednesday, Aug. 10th at Brooks. A series of temperance meetings are being inaugurated in this vicinity. There is need of temperance labor here as from the in dications it would seem that intoxicating liquor could be obtained in almost any quan tity. The new Cnivcrsalist church here was dedi cated last week with a sermon by Kev. Mr. Hatties ot llangor. It is a fine building, nn ornament to the place. A pastor has not yet been settled. The Baptists arc remodeling and rebuilding their church edifice and will have a fine building when finished. The spire, which is of a very pretty design, has just been raised. Yours &c., Q—m. OCEAX COMVEXrCA TIOX WITH AUGUSTA. It has long been the earnest desire of the enter here, that the channel of the river between Shepherd’s Wharf in Hallowell and this city, should be so improved ns to allow the ocean steamers to make this place, which is the na tural head of navigation on the Kennebec, the northern terminus of their routes. To this end, years ago, the city expend', d ten thousand dollars in an attempt to widen and deepen the channel from the Hook t Ken i nebec Wharf in Hallowell. This, however, met with no favor from our Hallowell neigh bors, and the Boston steamers, instead of making their head quarters at the village of Hallowell, or even at Augusta, have finally yielded to the desire of our Gardiner friends i and made that city their main depot. Since the partial failure of the first attempt, the U. S. government have engaged to straighten and improve the channel, so that vessels which come to Gardiner may also proceed up to Hallowell and Augusta. That work, though I not yet completed, as it will he, has been so far accomplished as to admit a large and beautiful ocean steamer—the Ella—regular ly at our wharves in this city. She has estab j lished a line from Augusta anil all the river towns and cities, to Portland; and a pleasant i thing it is to see her arrival and departure at j our town landing on alternate days every week, l This should be regarded as a long desired tri umph in a matter of great convenience and advantage, not only to this city but also to the whole region round about the Maine capital. We think the Ella may be the means of open ing an extensive trade between the Kennebec and Portland. This, indeed, is one of the great objects of the wholesale merchants of our commercial metropolis, who are the prin cipal owners of the boat. They have lines established between this city and the princi pal centres of business on the coast of Maine, as far as Mac-hias and these lines of business communication by steam, arc greatly increas I ing the commercial importance of Portland. Surely one upon the Kennebec cannot fail to be of great advantage to both sections of the I State. Nature, before any railroads were built, open ed a free communication by water for Augusta to the outward world; and though these artifi cial highways nre of great benefit and to be encouraged, we ought still to improve and patronize dame nature's blessings, which'are less costly and quite as pleasant as the acquire ments of art. We hope the people of Augus ta and those above us on the river will appre ciate the benefit of a regular communication between this city and Portland by water, and thus help to secure the double advantage to be enjoyed by means both of rail roads and steamers, connecting us with the wide world's business. A Kksskukvkeb. domestic Nctos. Thursday morning at 3 o'clock, the stable belonging to Joseph Cross, New Gloucester Centre, was discovered to be on fire. When seen, it was enveloped in flames, and nothing could be saved from the havoc of the dames. Mr. Cros%’ house was situated but fitly feet from the burning building, but was saved by keeping it wet with water thrown with pails. Another house near by was on fire evcral times, but was saved. This stable wns a large one, and was rented to several partie-. Mr. Joseph Bailey of the Home School, who oc cupied a part, had twelve tons of hay, five carriages, three horses and three pigs, all de stroyed. His loss is about 82000. Mr. John Hancock, trader, lost four carriages and a horse loss about $500. Caleb Haskell, three tons of hay and a cow. Loss $150. The stable was worth about $1000, and was insur ed for a small sum. There was no light in the stable Tuesday evening, and the only con jecture as to the probable cause of the fire is that sonic one must have been smoking, and thrown down a cigar carelessly in the build ing. f The Swedes, in their journev to the Aroos took country, had a very pleasgnt trip up the St. John river. Crossing over to Fort Fair field, they were met at the boundary by a large number of citizens of that town, who gave them a hearty welcome to the land of their adoption. They were then escorted to the village, where a collation awaited them. Their entrance into Caribou village was her alded by a precession headed by a band of music. Their impression of the place and people must have been favorable. We trust their new homes will possess sufficient at tractions to render them contented and happy. We learn from the Journal that the'Lewis ton Steam .Mill Company is now running one circular, one uiulay, and two edgers, driven by steam engines of 100 horse power. Forty five hands are employed, and 6,000,000 feet of lumber are annually turned out. The company was organized in I860 with a capi tal of $0,000; they now represent a capital of $110,000. The timber land consists of 30,000 acres, mostly spruce. The Biddeford Young Men’s Christian As sociation have chosen K. F. Pillsbury, Presi dent; Joseph L. Small, Recording Secretary Timothy H. Hubbard, Corresponding Secre tary Daniel l’ond, Treasurer, and Charles Thurston, Librarian. The Journal says that the Lewiston Com mandcry Knights Templar will probably en camp on Squirrel Island in Boothbay, for a week. They will leave soon after the middle of August. On Tuesday, as Mr. Jos. Coombs of Tops liam, was backing a mowing machine, he caught his hand between the cogs, severely jamming two of his fingers. Mr. John Nolan of Boothbay, fell from a wharf at Gloucester, Mass., a few e enings since, and received fatal injuries. His age was about 60 years. The 4th Con. church of Portland, Abyssin ian, have extended a call to ltev. Samuel Harrison of Springfield, Mass., to 'ecorno their pastor. The census shows a falling oflF ill the inhabi tants of Bath, for the past ten years, of 760. The total population is 7316. The roof of the building occupied by the Good Templars at Westbrook Point, was damaged by fire Wednesday night. The “American Normal School Associa tion” and the “National Teachers’ Associa tion” will hold their Annual Conventions at Cleveland, Ohio; the former on the 15th and ltlth days ot August, the latter on the three following days. A large number of the most eminent educators in America will favor the Association with lectures, essays, or reports. The exercises promise to he of great interest and importance. It is hoped that New Eng land will be largely represented in the Con ventions. Entertainment can be had at the Kennard House for $3.00 per day Weddell, $2.50; American, Bussell, and Cleveland, each $2.00; and for ladies at private board ing houses, for from $1.00 to $1 50 per day. I Committees of Deception will be at the de pots on the arrival of trains. Fare for the round trip from Boston, $17. Tickets can be obtained at the Grand Trunk Station in i Portland for $14 each. The Calais Advertiser says that on Satur day last, while Mr. William Dresser was en gaged in procuring sand from an excavation in a bank at upper mills, St. Stephen, the sides caved in and completely covered hitn. He was at ence missed and taken out as soon as possible, hut his injuries were so severe that he died early Sunday morning. Mr. Dresser was about forty years of age, and he leaves a wife and four children and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. He was buried with Masonic honors. The depot of the P. K railroad at Mor rill's Corner was burned Wednesday morning, as we learn from the Press. The fire took from a spark from a passing locomotive and it burned with great rapidity wholly, destroy 1 ing the building and platforms. Most all the contents were saved. Another match between Turner's horse Bull of the Woods, (formerly Dagon.) and the Tontine Belle, is to be trotted at Topsham on Wednesday, Aug. 3d. for a purse of 8500. Jas.
