A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, irho lias been visiting our Swedish settlement n Aroostook, furnishes that paper an inter esting letter in relation to what he saw. from which we copy. The land on which they arc located is the township known us number fifteen, range three, west ot the cast line of the Slate, or, is it will henceforth be called, New Sweden. If your readers will take any map of Maine ju which the smaller places arc noted, they nan easily' find the town of Fort Fairfield, situated very near the northeastern corner of die State, on the Aroostook river, and close to the New Brunswick line. The township of Sweden is twenty miles northwest from Hint town. The approach to the settlement is not such as to preposscsss the visitor very strongly in favor of the country. There is the roughest of rough roads leading to the great opening, or the “large clearing" as it is culled. When you have arrived there you see a space of twenty or thirty acres, on which the trees have been felled and then burned, so that the whole opening is a hilly waste of ashes dotted all over with blackened stumps. There is but one building erected as yet on all tills clearing, and that is merely a cabin of considerable size, used ns a sleep ing, cooking and eating room for the crew of unmarried iSwedes and the hired American woodmen who are not at work upon this land. The writer finds Mr. Teague, by whom lie is introduced to Mr. Johnson, a Swede who can speak English,and by whom he is accom panied in his investigations among the cabins of the settlers, which are at some distance from the clearing above described. Blunging again into the forest, over a rough road, we come to the first residences. The arrangement of these cabins is quite ingen ious. Each settler is to have a lot of a given size, and the houses are built on the earners where they join, so that they are arranged in fours, which makes it both more social fur the settlers, and easier lor them to render assist ance to each other in case of need. The cabins are all alike, and they were built by the State. They are built of peeled logs, and are, 1 should judge, about eighteen ly twenty-five feet in size. The roofs are neatly shingled, and the cabins arc rendered sufficiently light i... i i....... ...i.;,.:. ..it 1..., l.n,u In tl.U section of the country cannot boast. Inside they arc finished with plain wooden benches and tsides, and all have a stove of a pattern to give considerable surface for cooking, and at the same time serve to give out a great deal ot heat. There are other little things in the cabins which have been brought by the Swedes themselves from the mother-land; but much of the crockery and iron-ware is unmistakeably Yankee. In one of the huts 1 saw a little bundle of rattan rods, which my mind pictured as the instrument with which parental reproof was meted out to the young er members of the family on occasion. 1 lie spinning-wheel has not vanished from the farmers’ houses in Aroostook County yet. and here most of the cabins contain one. There is use for a cradle in nearly every residence, and the pattern employed is of the very prim itive kind used in the old country. The mother rocks her babe, using one foot and standing on the other, while witli her hands she prepares the frugal repast for the family, or scrubs away with the energy of Dame an Winkle at the washboard. In company with Mr. Johnson your corres pondent visited a considerable number of these cottages. Cur visits were short, and in deed it was not easy to remain long to dis turb the diligent activity of the women, even if there would have been any gain in remain ing in a company where the aid of an inter preter was necessary to converse with our hosts. None of the women can speak Eng lish, but they invariably greeted the visitor with a pleasant smile and a word in their mother-tongue. Mr. Johnson introduced me always as, so far as 1 could make out the sound, “cm hcvvcu von IJostnn. spoken witli a peculiar inflection of the voice. They alt shake hands and drop curtesies. The hand shaking is frequent, anil is sometimes repeat ed several times in the course of a short v isit. One of the matrons sent up her little girl of perhaps seven years to shake hands with me; she dropped a little courtesy as she took my hand,—a fact which is only mentioned to show how early the young Swedes are taught this little act of politeness. It lias been stat ed that a marriage lias taken place among the colony since its arrival. I found the bride seated on a wooden bench before the table which is used, undoubtedly, in the preparation of the dinner, writing a letter. The ink was contained apparently in a hollow door-knob, standing on its rounded portion. She is a very pretty and healthy looking girl, ami will make her husband a good wife, no doubt. She brought us out some of her home-made beer, which is prepared from boiled corn and sweetened with molasses. It has a taste some what like Ottawa beer, but is much more pal atable than that frothy nothing. It does not foam, hut is clear anil almost as colorless as water. Another of the sights was the new baby,—the Miles Standisli of New Sweden, —a healthy looking infant of a few weeks. The mother took it out of the cradle to show. The child was dressed or rather sewed up in a tight-fitting hag of yellow flannel, and had upon its head a quilted hood thick enough tor its mother's head-gear in dead winter. 1 he style of dress is not in accordance with oar notions, but the children look well and happy, and the custom has, of course, been followed from time memorial. The grandmother of this first child came over with her two sons. She is an old lady of over seventy, and seems as happy as possible here in the wilderness. The Swedes of both sexes and of all ages arc quite easily distinguished from Americans by their dress alone. The men wear stout, serviceable clothing, and are covered with hats of a peculiar style, and many of them wear wooden shoes, though this is not univer sal. These shoes are great clumps of wood, cedar or birch, with pointed and upturned toes, a heel that is long and slopes torward, and a very high instep. They are nicely hol lowed out within for the foot, and arc quite comfortable in appearance, though they must he heavy. 1 saw a man at work fashioning them by hand out of great blocks of green birch. The women are dressed in plain, coarse garments, and their persons are desti tute ot any of the fripperies with which American women even in these wild woods would deck themselves. The chignon is not known in New Sweden, and very little atten tion, apparently, is paid to the manner in which the hair is dressed. There is a tidy look about them, however, which is very delight ful to see. a eleani.ness ot person and an or derliness about their apartments which ron ilers them and their quarters fit for tin reception of visitors at all times, even whet they are so little expected as we were. Mr. Johnson invariably opened the door without giving any warning of his approach, but there was none of the fuss and (lurry observable when one so enters many a residence of our own people. The children are also coarsely dressed, and they arc very properly allowed to get themselves as dirty and as grimy as they please at their play. As nearly every piece of wood near the house is coated with charcoal, ami the ground is covered deep with cinders and ashes it may be presumed that the young people are not what is usually un derstood by the word presentable. It is. nev ertheless, a pretty sight to see these “olive branches" transplanted so young to this new soil, enjoying themselves in the dirt as every child is naturally inclined to do. The chil dren's hair is generally almost flaxen, but dark shades predominate among the older people. Perhaps it is dyed by the sun, to which their heads are constantly exposed while they are at play. In so short a visit ns I was compelled to make, it was of course impossible to learn or observe much of the social customs of these people. We can all remember Longfellow’s delightful description of rural life in Sweden. Much of the charm of such a mode of life exists in the manner in which it is described. I fancied that there was in life, in New Sweden at least, much less of romance than there is in the pleasant picture of our great poet. But one tiling is certain. The people all seem to be contented and happy; they work like beavers, make no complaint of the hard ships to which they are subjected in this new country, and wear universally a cheerful countenance. The religion of the new colo ny is mostly Lutheran. There are, however, a few—perhaps a dozen—Baptists among them. “How many of them are church members?” I asked of Mr. Johnson. “Well, sir, what do you mean by that?" I tried to explain to him what 1 did mean, and to draw a distinction between members of the congregation and those who receive the sacrament. He told me that all the people of fifteen years of age are church members. It is, he said, the custom in Sweden, as soon as a child reaches the age of fifteen, for the parson to go to the house and examine him or her to see if the child can read or write. If it can, it is at once admitted to the sacra ment hut otherwise it is placed on probation until it has acquired the requisite education. Virtually all the people are thus church mem bers. Whether this system is the best for tile promotion of vital godliness, or not, gives some ground for argument, but it is certain that the Swedes who are here display a great deal of practical piety in their lives. Some ministers have been up here distributing tracts anil unit, r i t ailing uiuuer jnnucum me oneu ish language, which may be a very useful and a very Christian work but it is certain ly to be hoped that there will not be any studied attempt to introduce the discordant element of religious division and dissention among a people who seem to be so nearly in the right path already. It is to be said, at all events, that the system adopted, if it was ac curately described to me, which may be a matter of doubt, results in making the entire population grounded in the rudiment* of edu cation. There is not one adult person in this new colony who cannot read and write. It was impossible, in the short time at my command, to see all that I would have seen. In fact, the groups of houses are scattered at such a distance from each other that it would have been more than one day's work to have gone the rounds. In one part of the new town a store is erecting, where the colonists can trade. They are now obliged to draw all their supplies from Caribou, eight miles dis tant, or from a point still farther off'. In the centre of the town, in the great clearing that lias been spoken ol', a line cellar has been dug and men are at work getting out the frame of a building to be used as a church, hall and sclioolhouse. Artisans of various trades may be found among the men, and there is even one parson among them. It would he diffi cult to suppose a better nucleus for such a colony. The land on which they are located is said to be of the very best in Aroostook. As they came late in the year, it was impossi ble to get crops to any great extent; hut tur nips were planted on one large tract, and an abundant crop of that vegetable was raised. A considerable quantity of winter wheat has been put in, and it is already peeping up through the ashes in a very promising man ner. The colony is an experiment still.— Everything is not just wlutt the Swedes or their friends might desire, hut they are doing j well in spite of drawbacks. A year hence a I visit to them would he both interesting and profitable. The impression which your cor respondent received was on the whole very favorable both to the colonists and to the State which has brought them here. I AMERICAN FOREIGN PATENTS. K. H.

They take place on 1 uesday, and Involve sixty-one seats in Congress, beside State and county officers in some of them. In Pennsylvania they elect twenty lour members of Congress, members of the Legislature and county officers; in Ohio, Secretary of State, Supreme Court Judge, Controller, one member of the Board of Public Works, nineteen members of Congress, and county officers; in Indi ana, Secretary of State, and other State officers and eleven members of Congress; in Iowa, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treas urer, and other State officers, six members of the coming Congress, and one to till the vacancy caused by the death of William Smyth in the second district; and in Ne braska a full State ticket and one member of Congress. In these States the demo crats now have nineteen members of Con gress, and hope to add to the number by this election, through the disaffection they have endeavored to stir up in the republi can ranks. The tickets nominated are as follows: PENNSYLVANIA. CAXPIDATE* FOB CONORFSS. DUt. Republicans. Democrat?. 1st, Benjamin Huckel Samuel J.

In the Vermont Legislature the committee appointed to canvass the vote of last Septern- j ber for State officers, submitted their report for Governor. It was as lollowg; Stewart,: Republican, 33,307; Heaton, Democrat, 12, 058 scattering, 4. Stewart’s majority. 21, 305. The labor Reform Convention in the fifth Mass, district, at Danvers, after a protracted and stormy discussion, resolved that it was inexpedient to make a nomination for Con gress, by a vote of seventeen to thirteen. The Hon. Ginery Twichell is nominated for re-election as representative from the third Congressional district of Massachusetts. It appears by the Inaugural address of Governor Stewart of Vermont that the net debt of the State is 8606,000, a reduction of 8180,000 within the last fiscal year. The young Men’* Democratic Club do not like the way tite Rost attempted to shelve John Quincy Adams. Wednesday night they passed a vote to “stick to Adams," ami ap pointed a committee to go to Fitchburg and see it done. The Springfield Republican says that Mrs. Lucy Stone and her husband were satisfied with what the Republican Convention at Worcester did Wednesday on the woman suffrage question—as a first step. General John F. Farnsworth has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the First Illinois district. He is now serving his sixth term in Congress. He was elected in 1868 by more than eight thousand majority, and will be returned of course. Advices from South Carolina represent that Scott, the regular Republican candidate, Will carry the Sure in a fair election by at least 80,000 majority, and that a full delega tion of Republicans will be elected to Con gress. The state is more quiet than a few weeks since, although the “Reformers” will not scruple to carry the eletion by fraud and violence if possible. Gov. Scott will, how ever, take every precaution to bate a fair election, and if any trouble ensues it will be the fault of the Democracy, and not of the Re publicans. The election takes place Novem ber 28. The New York Herald thinks it the “soft est thing out” for a democratic newspaper to rasp on official for levying assessments to carry on an election. The democrats never did such a thing of course 1 GENERAL NEWS. King Victor Emmanuel it Is thought will guaranty the pontifical debt.

I.ater advices from Ilong Kong report fur ther assassinations of foreigners by the Chi nese.

A horrible accident is reported as occurring at Cascyville, Illinois, where a coal mine caved in, burying alive thirty-five men. It is an instance of the improvements in railway accommodations and management that now there is but one change of cars between New York and New Orleans. According to the census returns, the popu lation ol Texas has increased £5 per cent, in the last ten years. The reported death of John Allen, known as “the wickedest man in New York,” is con tradicted. His father, at whose house John was said to have died, has no intelligence of such an event. T. E. Sickles of Omaha, has been appointed Superintendent of the Union Pacific Railroad, in place of Col. C. O. Hammond. Iowa is the only State in the Union where women's rights have practically been conceded. Thu other night a company of ladies hauled a hook and ladder truck to a fire and were fore most in every effort to extinguish the flames, i A Portsmouth woman recently cashed a J $‘J90 check ut a bank, and on her return home put the money in the stove for safe keeping over night. As was to be expected, she forgot all about it when she built her fire next morn ing, and the greenbacks vanished in smoke. The story that the Chinese and Japanese Governments have concluded a treaty by which they seek to expel foreigners from their shores cannot well be accepted as true with out further confirmation than the present re port. The President received a despatch Thurs day from Hon. O. P. Morton, stating he would be in Washington in ten or twelve days, and that he would be prepared to leave for Eu rope shortly thereafter. His instructions will at once be prepared. They will not be very voluminous, and as has been stated heretofore, will not difier materially from those to Mr. Motley. The world does move.—In old times—not so long ago either—the doctors used to tor ture patients burning with fever, by denying them wnter and confining them in apartments from which the outside air was sedulously ex eluded. Now, they are not only allowed to quench their thirst with cold water, but ice is often given them. Some physicians have even found cold baths and wet blankets beneficial in such cases, and more recently at some of the fever hospitals in England, what is called the open air treatment has been adopted. The windows are all kept open even in winter, and though the nurses are obliged to weai bonnets and shawls, the patients fare better than under the former regime, a larger per cent, recovering. WAR SPLINTERS. It is said that the Pope lias written another to King William in behalf of peace. The French army now in Algeria, number ing 37,000 men, demands to be recalled to re sist the Prussians. A telegram from Berlin states that the fol lowing news is official:—The manifesto at Wilhelmshoe and signed by Napoleon, which was recently published by La Situation, is entirely unknown here, and is doubtless apo chryphal. The present indications are that the Prus sian forces are massing heavily on the west nnd southwest of Paris, where the approaches arc believed to be more open and the defences of the city more vulnerable. It is asserted that Lyons demands the right of coinage, and the establishment of a mint in that city. The goldsmiths of the city, in particular, demand the right to coin and issue small silver currency. Advices received from Berlin state that the citizens in large numbers have petitioned the King not to expose himself to personal dan ger at the siege of Paris. Uis maje sty has replied that he has taken his decision, which is that he will not return to Berlin until the war is terminated. The police duty of the French capital is now- done by the armed citizens, and both by the records of the Prefecture and by the unanimous voice of foreigners resident in the city, there has never been a period within the la-.t live years when comers of any sort were so few as since the closing in of the invest ment. The universal testimony of experienced officers is that the demoralization of the French armies through their Mexican and Af rican campaigns had reached an extreme point, and that the war is likely to reorganize the French military system as thorougly as the Prussian system was reorganized after the annihilation of the Prussian monarchy at 1 Jena and Anerstadt. The adherents of the French Emperor are very active in England. M. Boucher and Baron Jerome David are living in London. They go to Chiselhurst quite frequently to confer with the Empress Eugenie. The ru mors that the Prussian government is no thos tile to this movement in favor of Napoleon are repeated, and some persons even go so far as to assert that Count Von Bismarck fur nished part of the funds for the establishment of La Situation, the Imperial newspaper In London. The export of arms and munitions of war from England to France has greatly increased within the last fortnight. The orders received are of such magnitude that it is impossible to execute them all. They are for arms of every description; for powder, for cartridges nnd caps. Enormous quantities are daily sent for ward, and millions of pounds of powder have been shipped from English ports for the French ports on the Atlantic and Mediterra nean within the past ten days. The publica tion of the Prussian protests against the sup plying of France with these articles has caus ed great indignation among the English peo ple, and is producing an effect diametrically opposite to that which was expected. THE HALLOWELL MURDER. We shall now sec whether the precedent established by the Sickles case, which has never been overruled by any verdict since rendered in this country, will be accepted by a Maine court and a Maine jury. Since that trial it has uniformly been held that a man may kill the person whom he suspects of se ducing his wife or of maintaining improper relations with her. The history of the Cole Hiscock case and the still more famous Kichardson-McFarland case will show that we do not state the principal too broadly. It is true that to soften its harshness juries always find the respondent insane, but that has become merely an established legal fiction, like Doe nnd Itoe and the plaintiff's allegation in trover that he lost the property which the defendant found. If it were otherwise the persons acquitted would be shut up in lu natic asylums instead of being permitted to go at large with their strong homicidal ten dencies threatening the lives of their fellow citizens. We trust that Maine will become entitled to the credit of breaking down this most dan gerous and irrational practice. A revengeful and unprincipled person may otherwise right fully conclude that it is a perfectly safe trans action to shoot an enemy, only taking cure to make the usual defence. The llallowell case seems to be one of the most aggravated description, the murderer of Laflin and the would-be murderer of his wife appearing to have no occasion for jealousy. We trust that Attorney-General ltecd and county-at torney Whitehousc, who are two very abie law yers, will do their uttermost to bring the offenders to justice.—Portland Press. The Commercial Conventiua at Cincinnati adopted resolves on Friday favoring Govern ment aid to steamship lines between Europe and South Atlantic cities and to the 32d par allel of the Pacific Railroad, and declaring rivers channels of travel and communication belonging to the people of the country, and not to be obstructed by individuals or corpo rations. Resolutions were also adopted in favor of the repeal of usury laws and all statutes rela ting to contracts in money; recommending Congress to legislate for a reduction of the present excessive wharfage rates, and declar ing what should be the settled policy with the United States in regard to the public lands as a means of increasing the population and wealth of the country. On Friday the Convention voted unani mously, after speeches in its favor by the members from Texas, Tennessee and Arkan sas, to change its name to the Natioanl Con vention. Resolutions recommending Congressional aid to the Northern and Southern Pacific, and Trans-Latitudinal roads, were adopted, to gether with several of local importance to New Orleans and other Southern cities. The third Monday in September 1871, at Baltimore are the time and place fixed for the next meeting and after a resolution of thanks to President Garnett, Vice President Banks and the citizens for their hospitality, the Convention adjourned.

The Saco Democrat says Mr. Amaziah Benson and Wm. Flanders, residing on Oak Ridge, Lower Biddeford, have a shanty on Whitney's Neck, about 4 miles from their home. To this they have been in the habit of driving and going out fishing in a small “dory," not unfrequently being absent from home several days. Tuesday, Sept. 27th, they left home accompanied by Lewis F.m mens, a boy about 18 years of age, son of Lorenzo Emmons, formerly of Biddelord, but now of Vinalhavcn, repaired to their old quarters on the Neck and went out in their boat. Toward night they started to return and as the wind commenced to blow quite strong concluded to take in sail. While at tempting to do so a squall struck and capsiz ed them. Fortunately they were enabled to catch hold on the boat. Night was coming on and there was every prospect of their being obliged to spend it in the water if in deed they were able to hold out till the dawn ing of another day. They were about 4 miles off shore with no immediate prospect of res cue. In the water, chilled through and through, as of course they must have been at this season of the year, death stared them in the face. The boy Emmons first showed signs of exhaustion, and his companions were obliged to hold him as well as themselves to the boat. He was soon so far gone ns to be unable to spenk but they still clung to him in the hope of being able to save him. Hut there is a limit to human endurance and at last, however reluctantly they may have ar rived at this alternative, they were obliged to drop him in order to save themselves if indeed they would be able to do so even after this sacrifice. Towards morning they were pick ed up by a schooner, taken to Boston and arrived home Thursday ngilit. Their pres ence at their residence was the first notifica tion their friends had of the disaster. Mr. Flanders has but one leg, having lost the other in the late war. Sch. Edward King of Jonesport, owned by Mr. Mansfield of that place, ami commanded by Daniel J. Mansfield, a son of the owner, was lost on the shoals about two weeks ago. The vessel was pitched bottom up. Capt. Mansfield, and Levi Mansfield, brothers, of Jonesport, and a man named Cole, from Bucks Harbor, Machiasport, and another man unknown are supposed to be lost. The store of Messrs. R. I*. Eaton Co., nt Green's landing, Deer Isle, was entirely con sumed by fire on Saturday evening of last week. Mr. Eaton closed the store at 4 o’clock that afternoon and went to Isle an Haut, the fire occurring during his absence. The following postal appointments are an nounccd. John Howard at East Peru, Ox i ford, vice Henry Bemis, resigned; Kimball j Eastman, at West Gorham, Cumberland county, vice Edward Hasty, resigned. The Oxford Democrat says Rev. S. L. Gould of Albany is about to leave his people, and try the climate of Minnesota. The pco pie with whom he has labored more than four 1 teen years very much regret the necessity. The annual report of the Knox and Lincoln Railroad has been published, nnd shows that the funds necessary for the completion of the road are lacking the sum of 8175,000. The expenditures hare been judiciously made; and the engineer's report very satisfactorily explains the difference which is found between original estimates and the actual cost of con struction. A comparative statement of two estimates, one made August 12, 18C3. and one made September 1, 1870, shows precise ly each item of difference, the principal of which arc earth excavation, ballast and shrink age, $123,138; rock excavation, $140,177; bridge masonry, S24.13G; bridging, $21,830. On the other hand, the cost for the track, main nnd side, is put at $82,000 less than the first estimate; land and land damrges $11,000 less; engine $4000 anil passenger cars $8000 less. The Argus says Shay’s minstrel troupe has sued the city of Biddeford, so we learn, for a pretty little sum. The agent engaged the city hall of the janitor, who has the letting of it, about two months ago. A week or so latter the York County Agricultural Society held a meeting and voted to hold their fair there on last week, nnd hence a notification was sent to the agent that he could not have it as he had been told, lie took no notice of that, the town was billed and along came the com pany. The city authorities offered him anoth er ball and some inducements for him to make the best of the situation, but he thinks he knows a way worth two of that, so sues the city. Mrs. Sally Brown who died at North Jav, on the 1st inst., had arrived at the extreme age of one hundred and three years five months, twenty- days.

local anU Stale Nctos. There will be no meeting of Bethlehem Lodge this evening. The contractors for the new State House in Albany, X. Y., are in this city making an examination of the granite quarries of the Messrs. Sprague. As the weather becomes cooler the clothes line thieves increase in number. Ilousokeep ere need “line upon line and precept upun precept” about this time. A perfumery vender is plying bis vacation in this region. He draws a crowd around his wagon by selling a dollar bill for seventy-five cents, a 50-cent piece for forty cents, and so on. Manifold are the modes of gulling the public! Members of the Augusta Young Men’s Christian Association and all interested in the objects of that body, should endeavor to he present at the meeting, to be held in their rooms this evening. Business of importance will be transacted and preliminary arrange ments made for the State Convention. Fitz Hugh Ludlow, a cleaver magazine writer and author of several pluasant works, recently died in Geneva, Switzerland, w hither he had gone for the benefit of Ins health. It will he remembered by many in ibis vicinity that Mr. Ludlow married the widow of the late Hon. George Mulliken of this eity. The first ecclesiastical organization in east ern Maine was the Congregational church at Bluehill, organized in 1772. The town voted “a barrel of \V. I. rum and sugar enough to sweeten it," on the occasion of raising the meeting house in 1777, and it is believed every man, woman and child in town was present. The people enjoyed a spiritual feast. The engine “Portland," with a ear attach ed, about five o'clock on Saturday morning, run against a freight car at the depot in this city, throwing the car from the track and somewhat injuring the locomotive. The ac cident was caused by the sw itch being placed in a wrong position. The ear was loaded witli shorts. The forward beam of the engine was broken and the brass cylinder scraped. We have to record a very distressing acci dent that occurred in Ilallowell Friday noon. Edward O. Webber, aged 14, step-son of Mr. George K. Alien, on entering the house for dinner from the cotton factory, attempted to sit down, and in so doing tell backward into a large vessel of scalding water, llo was dreadfully scalded, tint will probably survive, it is thought, lie was attended 1 y Dr. Nut ting. The station agent at Kichmond has an ele phant on his hands that he don’t know exact ly how to dispose of. Sometime ago a worth less horse, a mere frame, came to him as freight, consigned to a gentleman in liicli mond. The station agent put the horse in a stable, and lias ever since fed the animal with oats and hay, at an expense ol over £10, but still tlie owner does not appear to claim his beast. The other day there arrived by freight a wretched looking cavalry saddle and rusty sabre, with a request that the horse be ex ercised daily. Any one who wants to buy a horse cheap can find one at Kichmond. A Visit to thr Granite Quarries. Through the politeness of Kev. K. 11. W. Smith, we were granted the prii ilege, on Fri day afternoon, of visiting the granite ledges in this vicinity worked by Messrs. Bodwell 4L Wilson of Ilallowell, the extensive contrac tors. The first ledge lies on the road leading from Ilallowell to Manchester, and about three mile: f.oni the former place. This ledge, we understand, is the property of the gentlemen operating it, and was opened several years ago. The cavity made in the ledge embraces an area of nearly two or three acres and has reached a depth of thirty or forty feet, and still the clear granite is lound enclosed within the walls ol “heading,” extending perhaps downward to the depth of one hundred and fifty or two hundred feet. From this ledge there has been sent blocks of granite of every size and shape and finish to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Or leans and other large places, besides the large amounts used at home for store fronts, gran ite buildings, monuments, underpinning and thelike. The stone fences m this vicinity give evidence of the practicability of using “rab ble” stone lor this purpose. A large amount of cast-ofl' granite can be obtained for the trouble of trucking it oil. Tho ledge is con stantly being worked by a crew of men. All through this region the rich treasures of gran ite are embedded, cropping out here ami there, but the ledge that interested us mast was the one on the Whitten farm, situa'ed about two miles from Augusta and llallowell. on the cross road, connecting the two roads. This place was purchased by the Whittens, father and sons, a few years ago, before the ledge was opened, or its value as a granite deposit fully known. It has immensely increased in value since then, showing that the purchase was a good investment for the Whitten's, who are hard working and deserving men. The lodge that is now being worked is on the brow of a hill. An opening was first made on the western side of the hill, but operations were abandoned on account of the great amount of “heading” or black, flinty, useless stone. The eastern side was then opened with good success, the earth and debris temoved, and the fine, clear gran ite found near the surface and lying in the most available position. It is of a similar quality of the celebrated “Haynes Granite,” which has such a good reputation throughout the country. Undoubtedly the space which has here been worked, covering a little more than an acre, to the depth of about fifteen feet, is but a small part of the ledge. It is curious to notice how the layers of granite are surrounded on every hand by tho "head ing” to which we have referred, being enclosed as if by a wall of iron. Tho process of get ting out the granite is very simple, after re moving the surface matter. Small holes are drilled which are loaded very lightly with powder covered with dry dust. The blasting cracks the courses, no matter how thick, from top to bottom, for a distanre of several rods. The huge piece is then cut into whatever'sizo desired, by means of plug drills driven to tho depth of about three inches and about one foot apart. This cleaves the granite as though hewn by the most cunning workman. The stone is then hoisted by derricks, loaded on teams nnd hauled to Uallowell for finish ing and shipment. There nre some layers two hundred feet square. We saw one monster piece containing 000,000 tons. The layers or courses nre of different thicknesses, varying from six inches to four or five feet. Some times the labor of quarrying is lost by striking a layer where a vein of iron runs through the granite, or some other defect leads to its re jection. This ledge is leased to Mr. J. Ii. Bodwell for a specific term. For all clear strips, shipping stone and dimensions. Mr. Bodwell pays the Whittens one cent per cubit toot. Of rough and rejected stone no account is made. Probably the granite business in Kennebec county is yet in its infancy, and although many -lately and imposing buildings rise as splen did monuments to the excellent quality of this staple product of our bills, there are yet countless ledges lying in wait for the band of enterprise and industry.

This Mode of Treatment, which is being adopted by a large number of the Medical Profu sion, has become quite popular in almost every state of the Union. It has been examined by thou sands of Physicians, of all schools of medicine, and there has not been one dissenting voice to the correctness of the principle; all acknowledge that it Dlls a vacuum in the Science of Medicine. The sick and ufllicted are demanding it everywhere. We have demonstrated the fact that Paralysis, Nervous Debility, Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, Gout, Consumption in Its incipient stages, ail Cancerous Affections, Dropsy, Varicose Veins, Weak Chests, Narrow Chests, Asthma, Weak Lungs, Weak Backs, Weak, Stiff iyid Shrunken Limbs, Curvature of the Spine, and other Spinal Affections, Sciatica, Rheumatism of years standing, Spasms, Epilepsy, Palsy, St. Vitus’ Dance, Derangement of the Mind, Prolapsus Uteri, Obstructed Menstruation, with all their concomitant diseases, Impotency, and all kinds of weakness of the Generative Organs, CAN BE CURED. It brings a greater supply of blood and nutrition to all weak parts, thus creating new life and tone, and health and strength in those parts. It breaks up Congestion and Inflammation by equalising the circulation throughout every part of the system. The Senior Proprietor of the Auguata Vacuum Cure, Dr. C. T.

Cure of Kidney and Bladder Affection of a Patient seventy-eight years of age. THANKS T O MK HE LM BOLD. Girard, Pa.. March 31,18U0. Editor cosmopolite I desire, as an unsolici ted tribute to the merits of IlELMBOLD’8 Bi ght, and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as myself, to say that after consulting many eminent physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies, in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have suffered excessively for many years, good fortune finally suggested to me IIelmbold’8 Bt'CTir, which I commenced using with little faith, and no apparent beneficial effects for about a month. At the expiration of that time, however, I thought I commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere in its use. and now at the expiration of four months, although I am an infirm old man, nearly seventy-eight years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex pected to favorably affect me as they otherwise would, I have found such unspeakable relief and permanent benefit from Mr. Ilelmbold’s valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and a valuable suggestion to the public.

IIelmbold—I»eak Sik In regard to the question asked me as to my opinion about Pu rlin. I would say I have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or known to be used, in the various diseases where such medical patent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. I have seen and used, as before stated, every form of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tracts—and 1 am not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, to give ine the right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality, 1 give you precedence over all others. 1 value your Buchu for its effect on patients. I have cured with it. and seen cured with it. more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than 1 have ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name. Respectfully yours, Ac., GEO. H. KEYSER, M. 1>.. 110 Wood St., Pittsburg* Pa. August 11,1SJT>. A Case of Twenty Years’ Standing. Philadelphia, Pa., June 25, ltw". H. T. IIelmbold, Druggist— Dkak Sik: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time 1 have used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physican in regard to using your Extract Buchu. I ifld this because 1 had used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, 1 despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to ine and inv phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice. after an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, anil see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol greater value to you and more satisfactory to ine. 1 am now able to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and leel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Bnchn being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and in vigorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.
