Jail# Jienncto Journal AUGUSTA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 12,1870. The Dominion of Canada is trying its hand by the seizure oi our fishermen at the project of compelling this government to open its markets to Canadian products which pay no taxes and thus can under sell our producers who are taxed. It vvil^ find it has undertaken a big job. This country claims to have the right to control its own markets, and is able we think to make good that right against all comers. Because the Canadas had a good thing in the Reciprocity Treaty, while it lasted, they ought not to become insolent and cross because it is abrogated, but rather be thankful for what they got and depend upon civility rather than menace for more favors. They have gone the wrong way to work to accomplish their wishes as they will learn to their cost in good time. We might possibly be coaxed to buy their products, but the notion that we can be driven to do so is too absurd to be believed by any but a government of donkeys. The course of President Grant in stand ing by the regular nominations of the re publican party in Missouri, commends it self to the judgment of the staunchest friends of the party everywhere, and will exercise a wholesome influence all over the country. When the principles and or ganization of the party are put in jeopardy by bolting and other irregular and repre hensible movements, such acts should be discountenanced and opposed by all the power of the party organization. They are more dangerous than the attacks of the regular opposition, and those who engage in them are the worst enemies the repub lican party has, and should not complain if they are treated as such. It is well that the line is dra\\n, so that malcontents and intriguers with the democracy may un derstand what to expect from the Admin istration In some parts of the country there are stock laws in operation which compel the farmer to fence his cattle and other stock in their pastures, so that the fields devoted to grass and tillage may be safe from the depredations of stock without fencing. Where this has been tried it lias been suc cessful, and in the Western and Southern States it bids fair to be generally adopted at no distant day. In some places in this State fences except around (lie pastures are dispensed with by general consent, and the plan works well and gives satis faction. Our farmers will doubtless move before long in favor of such a law as we have mentioned above. Now that timber is becoming scarce, the expense of fencing is increasing and economy will soon re quire that no more of it bo done than is absolutely necessary. The Swedish colony in Aroostook is an experiment. It is too early yet to pro nounce it a failure or success. It must have time to untold itself. It is a seed planted, but we must wait for the fruit be fore we are able to judge of its’merits. II the State, however, had exerted horseH liberally to build up manufactures, foster home industry and derelope all her re sources, we should not have felt obliged to send to Sweden for settlers to people Aroostook, but should have been occupy ing the fertile lands of that county with our own sons and daughters raised upon the soil, and made a handsome exhibit ol growth in the census. The apparent inactivity in the I'ranOo Prussian war will soon give place to active operations. The Prussians are steadily completing their plans of reducing Paris, changing the course of the canal which supplies it with fresh water, and moving up troops on the south and south-west pre paratory to the bombardment. All hope of peace without another struggle seems to be ended. The fate of Paris will soon be known. POLITIC Ah. The elections yesterday are the principal topic of political interest this week. Hon. Samuel Hooper is renominated for Congress by the republicans ot the Fourth. Mass., Congressional district. Win. Gaston is the democratic candidate in the Third dis trict. The Washington correspondent of the Bos- j ton Journal says “the President authorizes the publication of a statement that the Schurz Brown movement in Missouri was not alto gether unexpected by him. During Ids re cent visit to that State he ascertained that the disorganizes contemplated a holt even had cx-Senator Brown been nominated for Gov- i ernor by the Republican Covcntion." The same correspondent says that “General alker Chief of the Census Bureau, has cer tainly made some queer appointments for a Republican. Complaint has already been made that he has filled the office with bitter Democrats, and he lias now created quite an excitement among loyal men by giving a clerkship to Federick A. Aiken, who counsel for Mrs. Surratt, and whose eopor headism was never questioned." Colonel Bristow, ot Louisville. Kentucky, who it said to he the President’s first choice for the place of Solicitor General, is one of the leading republicans of that State, a young lawyer of much ability and a lucrative prac tice. On Sunday morning u young man named Frank Lawry robbed and nearly murdered Frank K. Morang on the Last Boston Bridge. They were companions, and when about half way across Lawry struck Morang with a club, and after successive blows, which lie supposed bad killed »ia victim, he rifled the pockets and threw the body into the stream. Luckily for Morang the water revived him and his cries brought rescue. He is alive and Lawry arrested. Lawry was horn in Rockland. Me. WAR SPLINTERS. The Masonic fraternity of England have contributed seventy thousand pounds sterling for the relief of the families of the German soldiers. Both the Cologne Gazette and the Inde pendence Beige assert that there it a com plete underground communication to Paris and Tours. The Belgian papers intimate that the Prus sians are alarmed at the approach of winter and are disposed to press the seige of Paris. The Papal Zouaves have gone to fight for France. Here is another anomaly of the war. Napoleon refused to let the French troops re main in Rome to protect the Pope, and on the change of fortunes it is the Papal troops who go to France to protect the republic. The German soldiers have given the fusil lading of the French a new name. They call it “Pea Rain," because they say that the shot comes as thick and fast as peas thrown by the handful into your face, and the wonder is that any ever get through it alive. A Paris paper gives the following: “The Surgeon-General is reviewing the garde mo bile. A young garde steps forward. ‘And on what ground do you claim nn exemption asks the surgeon. ‘1 have palpitation of the heart.’ ‘So much the better,’ says the sur geon, turning to the next; ‘If your heart palpitates for your country.' Minister Washburns has been compelled to abandon his house, situated on the Avenue de lTmperiale, the whole quarter of that part of the city being barricaded and undermined. He moved to a house in the rear of the Made line abandoning his furniture and valuables, including a superb portrait of President Grant. Versailles has not yet suffered from the effects of the war. The chief hotel is doing a thriving business, many officers living there and paying well. General Sheridan is there. The city ol Paris has been divided into two circles. Beginning with the outer circumfer ence to the line of the inner one the troops I possess the right of occupying all the man sions within the belt as they may be author ized at the option of the government. Within the limits of this belt are many of the most sumptous mansions. The imperial correspondence is published daily and is exposing the utter rottenness of the empire and the intrigues of Napoleon. Kecent letters show that De Girardin’s reason for becoming a bitter satirist of the Emperor was because he thought he would have been appointed a Senator of France and was dis appointed. The assassination plot turns out to have been a cooked up job. The baptism of the Prince Imperial cost 800,000 francs. The surrender of Strasbourg and Toul oc casioned immense agitation in Paris. Troops lined the public thoroughfares ready, in case of tumult, to disperse the crowd. Dismay and dissatisfaction were depicted on the coun tences of the citizens, who never imagined for a moment that the fall of Strasbourg would take place at so early a date. Lately an Englishman who served with the the Germans in the Campaign of 180C made a friendly call on Gen. Von Moltke at that veteran's headquarters. In the course of the conversation he remarked in a sympathizing tone: “This campaign will probably injure your health General.” “Oh!" replied Von Moltke, with a sly twinkle of the eye and his usual half smile. “We can stand anything as long as we are young, you know.” The General is 72 years old. qenekal jhewu. l’rince Pierre Bonaparte lias arrived at Lon don. Gunner James A. Silteston lias been ordered to.ordnance duty at the Portsmouth, N. H., Navy Yard. The verdict of the Naval Committee of Inquiry into the loss of the “Captain” exoner ates everybody connected with her construc tion and management. The captuin of the ship Adolphe, from Iquique, just arrived at London, reports the disappearance of Aurora Islands in the South Atlantic. The Germans in Jersey City have petitioned the Board of Education for the appointment of German teachers in the public schools. The Grand Jury of the District of Colum bia found a true bill against Hon. Joseph Se gar for alleged assult and battery, with intent to kill Mr. William G. Lincoln, on the 4th of August last. Reports from North Carolina state that in Robeson county the people are all under arms to exterminate a band of negro outlaws and murderers who have committed the most flagrant outrages during the past twelve months in that county. On the eve of the assembling of the fortieth semi-annual conference of the orthodox Mor mon Church we have the announcement that the saints who have seceded from the original organization have laid the foundation of a new church edifice in the city of Salt Lake. '1'lie Fifteenth Amendment has penetrated the intrenched camp of Masonry. The Grand Lodge ot the State of Illinois luis issued in structions to all subordinate lodges to admit negroes and mulattoes. Testimony is now being taken iu Boston before Commissioner Stillman 11. Allen, ap pointed on the part of the British government and Abraham Jackson, on the part of the American owners, in relation to the case of the schooner J. II. Nickerson, which was seized by the English cutter Ida., last June, for an alleged violation of the English and Colonial fishing laws. Erastus D. Leach of Kittery tell from the stage of tile painters’ department at the navy yard. It is feared that he is fatally Injured. The population of New York city in all but •even districts, official, is ‘J30,86«, an in crease of 204,470, or ”8 per cent, since 18G5. The West India and Panama cable has mot been in operation for several days in conse quence of a defect near Punta Rosa Key, on the Florida coast, which is expected to be repaired in a day or two. Dr. W. H. Jones, a prominent physician in Cleveland, Ohio, was shot and instantly killed Saturday morning by Dr. Gallentine for al leged seduction ot his wife. Gallentine im mediately surrendered himself to the authori ties and is now under arrest. The passenger twin which left Collinsville on the New Haven ami Northampton Rail road at 11-40 on the 8th, when going round the curve a short distance below that station, collided with a freight train, and considerable damage was sustained to the trnins, though fortunately no lives were lost. Many are, however, seriously injured. Postal conventions have been concluded f between the United States and New Zealand, for direct exchange of correspondence be tween San Francisco and New Zealand; also a convention for communication with Vaucou-1 ver’s Island and British Columbia also be tween the United States and the republic ol Salvador. The bonds of the government for the claim of this State in the war of 1812, will be ready for delivery to the Treasurer of Maine about the first of November, w ho will keep them in trust for the North American and Europe- j an Railway Company. Considerable anxiety begins to be felt in consequence of the absence of intelligence front the German steamer Hermann, which has now been out 14 days or ;t days over the usual time to Bremen. She is supposed to have taken a southerly passage, in order to avoid French cruisers, and if this danger is escaped she will require two or three days longer to reach this port. A few days since, after a storm, Mr. dames Andrews, contractor for building the sea wall at Eong Island, in Boston harbor, captured a veritable Bea serpent, fourteen feet in length 1 and twenty-seven inches round in the largest portion of his body. The serpent had evi dently had a battle with some large fish, as his head was broken in, and he probably ran into shoal water to elude his pursuers, when lie was taken. He is covered with scales, has four rows of teeth, and is variegated in color. Mr. Andrews proposes to have him stuffed, and our naturalists will have an opportunity of seeing him. A terrible and fatal affray occurred in Co lumbus, Ivy., Saturday evening. Five men. who had some difficulty a fortnight ago, met in the town and proceeded to settle matters in a free fight, with the following result: Smith Gibson was stabbed and died instantly, George Gibson was stabbed and fatally wounded. Austin had his skull fractured by a club, and will probably die. Conrad was shot and wounded dangerously. Brockman was stab bed and terribly beaten, but was taken to his home in the country, and the result of his in juries will probably never be known. All were hors du combat in three minutes from the beginning of the affair. An old German farmer, named Peter Mock, at a late court day at Grayson, Ivy., was a party in a suit in which a jury was empannel led. The Judge asked Peter if he objected to any one on the jury. “Yes,” said Peter, ear nestly. “I objects ter Pill Franklin." "Why, Bill Franklin is not on the jury.” said the Juge. “Veil, I don't care a tarn, Shudge: I objects to Pill Franklin anyway; he's med dling mit mine pishness all der time.” His objections couldn’t be considered under the circumstances. “Bill Franklin" was the counsel on the opposite side. A correspondent, writing from Koine on the ltd instant, describes the proceedings at tendant upon the plebiscite, lie says that he visited most polling places during the day, and he can give testimony, as an eye witness, that a better or fairer plan than that adopted by the Municipal Council could not be de sired. Every class of the population voted except the priests and those associated with them. At one of the polling places an object of particular curiosity and applause was a monk, with his Capuchin habit decorated with the national colors, going with the rest to de posit his vote for Liberty. He was the sole representative wearing the livery of religion and the Church. I have seen the Carnival in its best days, but I never witnessed in Home a scene displaying such mild hilarity and sponta neous joy. All the material damage done within the city by the Italian assult was that done to the walls at Porta Pia, the Scalara gate and windows of the Palace of Latran. The Basillian buildings and the covering of the Scola Santa received no in juries. The large Palace of the Villa Bona parte was burned by flying missiles, which entered the roof. The process of changing the names of streets, consequent on revolu tions, has begun, and the Papal arms are fast disappearing from the public buildings. An unusual case of conscience has just been presented to the Commissioner of Pen- 1 sions. The Pension Office is in receipt of a letter from a Western pensioner, who states that he has been drawing a pension of six dollars per month as a disabled soldier for i several years, but that he feels that he has 1 no right to such a pension and that he will no. longer receive it. lie says that he was induced to make application for the pension by claim agents and other interested parties, and he warns the Commissioner that such parties i may apply for the pension money, but de- clares that any further application will be without his consent. In addition he volun- i teers the advice that the Pension Officer J should employ good surgical examiners who cannot be imposed upon by persons engaged in getting up claims against the government. The matter will be inquired into. On Saturday morning, a Mrs. Bickford and her son, aged eight years, in Haverhill, were found lying in bed with their throats cut from ear to ear. It was at first thought to be a case of suicide but the opinion now pre vails that they were murdered. THE DARIEN CANAL EXPEDITION. A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser gives the following as the principal points of the ollieial report, now preparing, of the sur veying expedition which was sent out by our Government, under Commander T. O. 8el fridge, to ascertain whether an inter-oceanic canal across the Isthmus of Darien was prae- I ticable. The expedition sailed from New York last January. The survey was begun at Caledonia Bay in the latter part of February. This bay is of easy access, and perfectly pro tected from northern winds and heavy seas. There are but two other harbors on the At lantic coast of the Isthmus which are adapted to the terminus of a canal—the Gulf of San Bias and the Gulf of Uroba or Darien. The surveyors found the country covered with a primeval forest. They would have been obliged to cut their way slowly and with grent labor, through dense underbrush, guided by the compass, as even the sky would be scarce ly visible, hud not the commandcrdctcrmincd to follow the different water-courses. These gave of course, the lowesf level of the country, und if any passes through the mountain ridge existed they would hnve lead to them. lfe I connoissanees with the barometer were made up all the streams emptying into Caledonia I Bay, including the Aglamate, Aglazenigua. and Washington Hirers. While these were in progress, a reconnoissance in force was made over the mountains to the Pacific slope, down the Sucubti, until the villages of the mountain Indians, the Sucubti tribe, were reached. These preliminary explorations failed to show signs of a pass, and the line up the Ag lazenigua River, thence over the mountains. I giving the lowest average level, was selected I as the one to be surveyed. A line of levels was carried from the sea over the dividing range at an altitude of 1.200 feet and down to the Sucubti at a point about three miles below its sources, where an altitude of 600 feet was obtained. The hightof the Sucubti. by spirit level 600 feet, was evidence sufficient that no pass below that altitude existed in the divide. This river with its tributaries, the Napsati and the Asnati, drain a large area of country, of which its bed must necessarily represent the lowest level. Careful observations with the mercurial barometer were made down the Sucubti, to its junction with the Chucunagua. at which was found an altitude of 16!) feet. Ten miles down the Chucunagua an altitude of ytt feet was obtained. All hope of finding a pass was abandoned, and the only remaining question was what length of tunnel would be necessary. It was found that a tunnel of 10 miles, front an alti tude of 200 feet on the Atlantic slope to a cor responding point of the Pacific slope, beneath the bights of the Sucubti, would be needed. Another survey in the vicinity of the Sasserdi River. 10 miles north of the previous surveys, showed that a tunnel of 8 miles would be suf ficient by that route. Still another route was surveyed front the Gulf of San Bias, where the Isthmus is but 30 miles wide. The line of levels was carried up the Mandinga, the largest river emptying into the Atlantic between the Chagrcs and the Atrato, and crossed the di vide at an altitude of 1,100 feet. It was con tinued itt a S. S. K. direction down the Pacific slope, till at a distance run by level of 23 miles from the sea, it met at the junction of the Marmoni and San Jose rivers, with the survey of Mr. Kelley’s in 1S(>4, whose en gineers ran a line of levels from the Pacific up the Marmoni to this point. The result showed a mountain tunnel of ten miles that would require to be tunneled. The other portions of this route present the most favorable aspects. The southern portion of the Isthmus still remains to he explored. The Government propose to continue these sur veys the coming season.’which will be carried up the valley of the Tuvra. across the divide to the Cacarica I.ake, not far from the mouths of the Atrato. This region was visited by Ilellert, an experienced German traveler, in 1845, who reported the divide not over 200 feet, but this is very untrustworthy, as he lost his instruments before it was reached. The expedition returned to New York in July. Domestic Nctos. We see it stated that six or seven young ladies from Vassalboro’ have recently gone to North Carolina where they are employed in teaching the poor whites. Miss Amy Bradley, a native of the same town, is a coun ty Superintendent of schools in North Caro lina. where she has so much distinguished herself as instructor of poor whites that an eloborate article in reference to her and her work recently appeared in Old and New. The young ladies just mentioned go out un der auspices. Several of them have already had experience as teachers of the freedom in Kichmond, Va. The Bridgton News expresses the hope that tile long-talked-of idea of organizing a new county, composed of a portion of the western part of Oxford and northern part of Cumberland counties, of which it desires Bridgton to be the county seat, will receive the attention of the Legislature at its next session. The towns proposed for the new county, are i’urtcr, Hiram, Brownfield, Den mark, Fryeburg and Lovell, in Oxford coun ty, and Bridgton, Harrison, Otisfield, Na ples, Casco, and perhaps Sebago in Cumber land. Friday last Mr. Aaron Webber of Bidde ford, a man about sixty-five years of age, while laboring under temporary derangement, disappeared from his place of business. As soon as his absence was known, the citizens turned out and began a thorough search. lie was found Sunday in the woods on the Guinea Hoad about four miles from the villages, com pletely exhausted, having had no food nor shelter for more than forty-eight hours. He is still deranged and his recovery considered doubtful. The dwelling known as the Sampson House, in Winterport, was wholly destroyed by lire on Sunday night. It was insured for WOOD. The Whig says this house was one of the landmarks of the town, having been built in 1704 by Enoch Sampson. It was purchased a few years since bv .Mrs. C. E. Thayer, who put it in thorough repair. It was occupied by Capt. John Uolan, who lost most of his furni ture and wearing apparel. Mr. William Beede is now carrying on the woolen mills which formerly belonged to the Mayall family in the town of Gray. He has just put in nine new and improved looms, and he is manufacturing water proof cloth for ladies' outside garments on a liberal scale. Joseph Boyers was arrested in Portland last Friday, on charge of bigamy. His w ile went from Biddctord to Portland to procure the arrest of her liege lord. The second wife, it is probable, was deceived by Boyers, as she appears an innocent, respectable woman. The Whig's correspondent at Winterport writes that the firm of J. C. II. Treat is soon to dissolve, C. II. Treat having formed a partnership with Hon. T. S. Bang, of Au gusta, to carry on It manufacturing and im porting business in Bath. A boy named James McTaggard, who was found on Sunday night on Richardson's wharf, in Portland, insensible under the influence of liquor, died Monday morning. It was sup posed that the liquor was drugged. Daniel Pratt, has been instructing the stu dents of Bowdoin in the sciences peculiar to this son of Massachusetts. The irrepressible young gentleman extended to Daniel the cus tomary courtesy—a nomination to the Presi dency. A new post office has been established at West Brunswick, at the point on the line of the Portland Kennebec Railroad, for merly known as “Oak Hill station,” Mr. Nathaniel Merryntan is appointed Postmaster.

I). II. Teague, Esq., Shcrirt of Androscog gin county, died at his residence in Auburn, Sunday noon, of typhoid fever The Herald says that ,J. A. Bueknam has bargained lor the whole of the water power at Page's Mills, one mile from Mechanic Falls. The Reporter says that the annual Cattle Show and Fair, held by the Union Farmers' Club, of Gardiner, near the meeting-house, on the Brunswick road, last week, was a com plete success. The exhibition of fruit, veg etables, grain, fancy articles, etc., in the hall, was most excellent, both in quantity and quality, reflecting great credit upon the farmers and farmers’ wives of this locality. The show of stock was also very large. The Lewiston Journal says there will be a grand horse trot at Shaw's Park, Buckfield, Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 18th. and 19th. On Tuesday at 1 o’clock P. M., n purse of 815.00 is offered for horses flint never beat three minutes. On Wednesday, a purse of 825.00 open to all horses wherever owned. The new Mountain Slate Company have I just taken from a newly opened face in their quarry at the head of Sebec Lake, a slab of slate 10 feet long, 8 feet wide and 14 inches thick. The slate is said to be of excellent quality. A Musical Convention will lie held in Dex ter, commencing Oct. 25th. The Journal says it will be under the charge of Ptof. L. W. Ballard of Lewiston. Ilis orchestra will be in attendance during the convention. EQUALIZER —OK— OB. G. T. NORGROSS, —AND— J. Xs. HHXJ2STT, UrlI.L COMMENCE this mode of Treatment tD AUGUSTA—The Invention of Hits.

local ana State Netos. Mr. Luther Lougee lias shown us some second crop raspberries that look thrifty and luscious. The Augusta Vacuum Cure, which was es tablished here a week ago, is meeting with good success. Some of our best citizens are being treated by it. A parish that was violently and radically opposed to card playing, nevertheless orna mented the new church edifice in which they worship with the ace of clubs. Eighty-five bags containing three bushels each of mail matter, were sent from the post office in this city yesterday by the six o’clock and eleven o’clock A. M. trains. Freight cars with the letters “K. L. It. It." are running daily over the 1*. K. It. K. The Bath Times says they will soon lie switched off on to the right track. The plank sidewalk on Western avenue is being laid to “Stacey ville.” We are glad to notice in that locality building enterprises in progress. That part of the city has grown wonderfully the last few years. A little girl at play, yesterday, carelessly left her hat upon the sidewalk. Two ladies soon after passing by, thinking that they had found a treasure, relieved the hat of the little hand of ribbon, and passed on. The cry of “murder” at the south end of Water street, on Monday evening, was caused by an affectionate husband throwing a lighted kerosene lamp at his other, and it is to be hoped, better, half. Benzine liquor was at the b ittom of the affair. Autumn leaves may be made into beautiful wreaths. Twined together they make fine orna ments to hang over pictures and mirrors. The large ones und wee bits of leaflets may be twined artistically together and preserved by oiling, and be made to take the place of arti ficial autumn leaves made of wax. Mr. Oliver Gould of this city, recently of the firm of Whitchouse Gould, purchased yesterday of Dr. II. II. Hill the store in the granite block opposite the post office, recent ly occupied by A. Wilder, Ksq., as a hard ware store. A partnership w ill be formed be tween Mr. Gould and Mr. J. G. Adams and the meat and provision business carried on at the new store. At the apothecary store of Mr. C. K. Par tridge may be found an article of Condensed I.ve, or concentrated I’otash. which is just the article for cleaning type, making soap, and for other purposes for which potash is used. A twenty-five cent package will make a half barrel of nice soft soap. We have tried it and know.

Mr. J. 11. Clapp of this city has shown us a tine specimen of pears of the Dutchess d' An goleme variety, measuring 13 1-4 inches in circumference, 13 inches in diameter, and weighing one pound and two ounces. About a dozen of these pears, growing on the same tree, weigh in the neighborhood of one pound each. The scion was gralted on a quince stock. The flavor of these pears is excellent —superior even to the Bartlett. The stockholders of the Augusta Water Company met on Saturday and elected B. II. Cushman, Darius Alden, Warren Johnson, A. I. emont, II. S. Osgood and C. Millikcn, Di rectors. 11. S. Osgood was elected Secretary. At a subsequent meeting of the Directors, B. II. Cushman was chosen President, and Elias Milliken, Treasurer. The company will pro ceed to put in dams this fall, and at the open ing of spring will lay the pipe through the streets. Mr. J. B. Hartford of this city, was riding to Halloweli on Monday afternoon, with a gentleman named McGraw from Whltefleld, ♦hen just below the State House the horse become frightened by an advancing team, and turning to the left threw the two gentlemen out. Mr. McGraw was internally injured. He was taken into Mr. Devine’s near the State House, and cared for. Mr. Hartford lay by the roadside entirely insensible, until a gen tleman passing picked him up and brought him to his home. He was entirely insensible from the time that he realized that he was be ing thrown into the air, until being brought into his yard. His head was swollen and there wero several scars on his person, but no bones were broken. Should there be no reaction, he will soon be about. Another name must be dropped from the list ol aged citizens published by us a few weeks since. Charles Keene died at his resi dence on Winthrop street in this city, yester day morning at three o’clock, in the seventy seventh year of his age. He had been con fined to his house about five months, the most of which time he has been a great sufferer. Mr. Keene came to Augusta from his native town, Bristol, when about eighteen years of age. He wa? apprenticed to Ephraim Bal lard, who had the reputation of being the best carpenter on the river, and assisted Mr. Bal lard in the construction of the present Ken nebec bridge. He became master of his trade, and was one of the most finished workmen and builders in this community. He was mas ter carpenter in the erection of the arsenal buildings. At one time lie was in trade, in the hardware business, under the firm of Keene Weston. Their store stood on the spot where the Cony House now stands. Mr. Keene was one of the oldest Masons in the city, being a corporate member of Bethlehem lodge, which was chartered in 1822, and ad hering to the fraternity through sunshine and storm, not losing his interest in Masonry even during the famous Morgan excitement. The funeral services of the deceased will take place on Thursday in the llnivcrsalist church, and will be conducted, at the request of Mr. Keene, by Kev. Messrs. Drew and Moor. The body will then be taken in charge by the fraternity and buried with Masonic honors. -_ Free Baptist Anniversaries. FIRST DAY. The Anniversaries of the Free Baptist Be nevolent Societies of New England are now being held at the Free Baptist church in this city. There is a goodly number already in attendance, the denomination throughout New England being well represented. The Anniversary Convention was held last evening, the President, Rev. C. O. LiWby of Dover, N. II., in the chair. Prayer was offered by Rev. John Stevens of Biddeford. The records of the last meet ing if ere read. Treasurer’s report read and accepted. A committee consisting of Messrs. Curtis, Smith and Rand was appointed to nominate a board of officers for the ensuing year. The committee reported and the officers were elected as follows President, E. Knowlton; Vice President, F. Penney; Secretary and Treasurer, I. 1). Stewurt; Committee of Arrangement, C. U. Libby, I. I). Stewart, G. II. Ball, W. II. Bowen. The Anniversary sermon was preached by Rev. D. W. C. Durgin, of Hampton, X. II. His text was in Matthew 5: 14, “Ye are the light of the world." He considered the dark ness that brooded over the new born world, and the great contest between darkness and light, until the sun became the great illumin ator. There was a time also when darkness brooded over the moral universe. The Sun of Righteousness dispersed the shadows and made glad a portion of the moral world. Christ illuminated the world w ith his words of truth, and fully revealed the character of the human heart. As the physical sun will never cease to shed its rays upon the earth, so the Sun of Righteousness will ever shine on human hearts. He is the only light. Should the physical sun go out how dreary and barren and death-like would be our earth. But a thousand times more dreadful for the moral sun to refuse to shine. The personal presence of Christ we cannot have, but Ins worlf on earth must be carried forward by the men whose hearts He has touched and taught —they are to be the light of the world. The following thoughts suggested by these words the speaker took occasion to notice First— To the church in general and to the Christian ministry in an emphatic sense, is committed the work of enlightening the world. Second —The intensity of the light reflected, and consequently the efficiency of the church or the minister will be in proportion to their purity. Third—As the light of the world, the Christian is to shine constantly. Fourth—We should be ready to reflect Christ with just that power that God has given us and from just that position in which Provi dence has placed us. The speaker, in clos ing. thanked God for the lesser lights, for the feeblest man whom Christ has commissioned to go forth and preach His gospel. Get such a man thoroughly stirred, on the upward grade, fairly fronting God. and he will exert an influence and accomplish results that will cause the world in wonder to ask, “Whence hath this man this power?" Tlie age of railroads and the telegraph gives rise to fast living, and increases the desire for making rapid fortunes—some wishing to outstrip, and others to be at least equal to their neighbors. In order to keep up with this eager and unequal contest, the brain is taxed to its utmost power, while humanity is rendered an easy prey to disease. The Heart, l.iver. Stomach, Lungs, or Nervous System becomes afflicted, and sickness, in the form of Heart Disease, Jaundice, Dys pepsia, Bronchitis, Consumption, Paralysis, or Mania, is the result. The use of Fellows’ Compound Syrup of Hyphosphitis will en able the mind to sustain a greater strain un fettered by conflicting thoughts and unwearied by continued study. It imparts power of con centration. What before seemed difficult of solution becomes comparatively easy, and the body is physically stronger under its use. f&wlw Bad Practice. You might ns well expect to relieve and cure an inflamed eye by dust ing irritating powders into it, as to expect to subdue and cure Catarrh (which is an inflama tion of the mucous membrane of the air pas sages in the head) by the use of irritating snuffs or strong caustic solutions. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy cures Catarrh by its mild, soothing notion, which subdues the intlama tion and restores the natural secretion of the mucous follicles.

A Honolulu letter says that Commander Trnxton of the sloop of war Jamestown, re quested Consul Adamson to display his colors at half mast over the Consular Office, out of respect to the late Queen Dowager, but Con sul Adamson declined on the ground that he had received no official notice of the Queen’s death from the U. S. Minister resident. Com mander Thuxton immediately sent Lieut. j Cochrane with a guard of Marines to put a j flag at half mast by force, if necessary. The order was obeyed, the Consul and Vice Con sul resisting. The Honolulu press are indig nant and pronounce the invasion of Hawaiian territory by an nrmed force of the Cnited States as a high handed proceeding. FROM OTTAWA. Ottawa, Ca.j Oct. 11. A despatch from Windsor, Ont., says that William Langwin, Minister of Public Works, formally took possession of the American canal cut on the Canadian side at St. Clair Flats, in the name of the Dominion of Can da. at noon to day. Inquiry at thcdcpartm't|howevcr, shows that nothing ot the kind has been heard of there, and it is believed that the statement arises from the fact that Langwin passed through the canal to-day, going west, on an annual inspection of the works on the Canadian riv ers and lakes, on a Canadian gunboat, with the British ensign flying. The treaties are interpreted by well inform ed politicians, to mean that navigation is free to Canadians and Americans alike, over the whole width of the lakes, and passages can be made by either party in water's edge on botlt sides. Destructive Fire. Water licnr, Conn., Oct. 11. About 7 o'clock this evening, a fire was dis covered in the wing of the large stone build ing of the American Flask and Cap Company, which, before it was subdued, destroyed the entire wing.

BY FLORENCE TERCY. ovsr my shaded doorway Two little brown-winged birds Hare chosen to fashion their dwelling And auer tlusir loving words; All day they are going and coming On errands frequent and fleet, And warbling over and over. “-Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oh sweet I" Their necks are changeful and shilling Their eyes are like bring gems; And all day long they are busy fathering straws and stems, Lint, and feathers, and grasses. And half forgetting to cat, Yet never failing to warble, “Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oh sweet!” I scatter crumbs on the door-step, And fling them some flossy threads; They fearlessly gather my bounty, And turn up their graceful heads, .End chatter and dance and flutter, And scrape with their dainty feet, Telling me over and over, “Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oli sweet!” What if the sky is clouded What If the rain comes down They are all dressed to meet it In water-proof suits of brown. They never mope nor languish. Nor murmur at storm or heat. But say, whatever the weather, “Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oli sweet!” Always merry and busy, Dear little browu-winged birds Teach me the happy muglc Hidden in those soft words, Which always in shine or shadow So lovingly you repeat Over and over and over, “Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oh sweet I” Widows Cake.—Three cups of sugar, one cup of butter, two eggs, two cups of milk, six cups of flour, four teaspoonfula of cream-tar tar, two of soda. Fancy Cakes.—Three cups of sugar, two thirds oi a cup of butter, five eggs, one cup of milk, four cups of flour, two teaspoonfuls of cream-tartar, one of soda, one nutmeg. SkeA Cakes.—One cup of sugar, two-thirds of a cup of butter, one teaspoonful of crcara tartar, one-half of soda, one cup of sweet milk. Molasses C' ke.—Two tumblers of molas ses, one tumbler of butter, three eggs, three cups of flour, one teaspoonful of soda; for spice, cloves and cassia. Honeymoon Cake.—One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, four eggs, one cup of milk, four cups of flour, one quarter of a pound of citron, two teaspoonfuls cream-tartar, one of soda. Common Pastry.—One pound of butter, three pounds of flour. For tarts, one pound of butter, one and a half of flour. Yankee Puddino.—One pint of sealded milk, one-half pint of meal, one teacup o1 molasses, six sweet apples, cut in small pieces. Hake three hours. To be eaten with cream. Cocoanut Pudding.—Make a rieu custard and add one cocoanut grated. Apple Batter.—One-half pint of milk, one egg, flour enough to make a stiff batter, a lit tle salt. Fill your pudding dish with sliced apples, then pour the batter over them. Steam three hours. Serve with sauce. Marhoho Pudding.—One quart of milk, four eggs, three spoonfuls of sugar, four grated apples, spice to taste. Bake in a crust. Grahah Bread. Make the sponge for this the same as for any other bread, the night before baking, using the brown flour; it it must be moulded quite soft; it can be done better with wheat flour, as it makes the loaves smoother; a little lard is an improvement. To Roast Partridges.—Rightly, to look well, there should be a leash (three birds) in the dish. Pluck, singe, draw, and truss them; roast them for about twenty minutes, haste them with butter, and when the gravy begins to run from-them, you may safely assume that the partridges are done. Place them in a dish together with bread-ernmbs, fried nicely brown, and arranged in small heaps. Gravy should be served in a tureen apart. To Fry Partridges.—Take a brace of cold partridges that have been cither roasted or braised, cut them into quarters, dip them into beaten and seasoned yolk of eggs, make some butter perfectly hot in a frying-pan, put into it the birds, and do them over a moderately hot flre until they are beautifully browned. As Excellent Soup.—Dress a rabbit and put on to boil with three Irish potatoes sliced, a quarter of a nice cabbage, one onion, a tur nip, two carrots, a sprig of parsley and thyme, a few celery-seed, and salt and pepper to taste. Thicken with a little flour, and boil till done. Add tomato catsup, and send the soup to table without the vegetables. A Spanish Steak.—Take the tenderloin of beef. Have onions cut fine and put into a frying-pan with some boiling butter. When quite soft, draw them to the back part of the pan; and, having seasoned well the beef with pepper and salt, put it in the pan, and rather broil than lry it. When done, pnt the onions over it, and just as much bulling water as will make a gravy. Let it stew a tea' minutes. Fine Oolong Teas At TITCOMIVS, WEST END KENNEi.'r*. lEilbl.E.

Cure of Kidney and Bladder Affection of a Patient seventy-eight years of age. TIIA N K S TO M K. II E L M HOL 1). Girard, Pa., March 31,1800. Editor Cosmopolite I desire, as an tmsolici* ted tribute to the merits of IIelmbold’s Broilr. 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’9 m em*, 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, ami now at the expiration of tour 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. Helm bold’* valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and a valuable suggestion to the public.

Helmboli>—Dear Sir: In regard to the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu chu, 1 would say I have used and sold the article in various forms lor 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 I am not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, 1 think, to give me the right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality, I give you precedence over all others. 1 value your Buchu for its effect on patients. 1 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 ., 110 Wood St., Pittsburg, Pa. August 11,1805. A Case of Twenty Years’ Standing. Philadelphia, Pa., June 2.r>, 1867. 11. T. IIklmbold, Druggist—Peak Sir: I have been a sufferer lor upwards ol'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, 1 consulted my family pbysican in regard to using your Extract Buclui. 1 did this because 1 had used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cuhebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1 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, ami a tier using it three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a full statement of my ease at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ot greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected, alter using the remedy for five months. i have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as 1 ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and in vigorator of the system, 1 do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require Its use in such affections. M.
