The Journal acknowledges the courtesy ol a ticket to the Oxford County Agricultural So ciety’s thirty-first annual exhibition, to be held on the grounds of the society between South Paris and Norway village, Oct. 7th, 8th and 9th. Yesterday a powerful and almost uncom fortably cool northwest wind prevailed all day and must have shaken many apples from the trees. The day was decidedly Novem ber-like, ami forcibly suggested what is to come. The Capital Ciuarda arrived home a little before midnight, Friday, highly pleased with their four days’ experience in learning the art of war, though weary from the labors attend ing it, and the exposure and lack of rest in cident to camping out. The Whig says a number of skilled workmen of Bangor who were receiving four dollars (per day for their services and went West a (.-kort time ago to do better, have returned, K“nd now offer to work at other business for 12 per week. They were unable to find Employment, and have returned fully satisfied I hat Maine is the best State to live in after Iie County Commisioners have granted tha er of the petition ofl). T.

George Ward, while at labor in the of a vessel that was landing coal at the ie Hospital wharf, Friday, received upon ead and shoulders a portion of a tub-full al after it bad fallen some 2o feet, the ing apparatus having become entangled eh a manner that the tub was prematurely ied. It was a wonder that Mr. Ward tot killed instantly. He was rendered sible for a few minutes, and w as consid y bruised on the head. His wounds were ed by I)r. Harlow, and he is now doing with a prospect of speedy recovery. e democratic county convention was held s city Saturday afternoon. V. D Pink was chosen President, and Ilobert Pierce tary. The following nominations were r Senators.—John Deed, China, and A. low, Winthrop. r County Commissioner.—Abner Ilam Belgrade. r County Attorney.—F. H. Jackson iwell. r County Treasurer.—J. Frank Pierce, ata. lfast was yesterday visited by another uctive fire. The first despatches said: [Ivfourth of the city is destroyed, and wa getting low.” Our later despatches this ing will either modify or confirm the I ews. Less than eight years ago—Oct. '03—nearly the entire business portion (it city, between.Washington and Cross yS—comprising over one hundred and y-five buildings—was burned, and the fcas not far from half a million. The I'.ity yesterday must be as great, if not ■?r than in 1805. The violent wind that tied proved a most remorseless inrendi isrs.

A fear days ago he went to (for the sole purpose of examining the t MS. muster rolls of the officers and I: from Massachusetts who took part in Lr of the Revolution.

Central Park. 1 were two very interesting races at S. Robinson's trotting park in Au |i Saturday afternoon, which were •■1 by a goodly number of people.

E. Leighton, Steward of the In sane Hospital, starts to-day with his wife fur a few weeks' visit to Pembroke, hi- former place of residence. IBaUototU ILoral Xrtos. Mr. A. K. Simmons of this city, photograph ist, has manufactured a complete min iature photograph apparatus which he can “sling" upon his back alter the fashion of an organ or scissors grinder, and travel to what ever scene of beauty he may wish to “take," or mount to almost inaccessible places, where he may “unstrap his knapsack" and proceed at once with his work, just as conveniently as though in his city studio. His “dark closet," camera, chemicals, adjustable stool,—alike serviceable on the steep side of a mountain or along the level plain,—and all other conven iences necessary to make a complete work, are conveniently at hand, ready for immediate action and when his labor is accomplished, it requires but a few moments to re-pack his “kit," ready for a move to some other posi tion. This is indeed a valuable and servicea ble arrangement for taking views in open air, either from housetops, rocky cliff's, open fields or level streets. Simmons ought to have his “picture” taken thus armed and equipped lor ac tive campaigning in rough and tumble style. We saw him starting out the other morning, and at first c oncluded he was about to furnish vis some music after the Italian style, and involuntary put our hand in our poc ket to furnish some coppers; but not seeing any crank to the “darned tiling" or accompanying monkey, we finally con cluded it was not quite so much of an “or gan" as the New York Tribune used to be! In a neighboring city, recently, the active and continued labors of the Savior during his ministry on earth was the topic of discussion at an evening social meeting; when one of the clergyman present, who was enjoying his usual summer vacation, waxed eloquent upon the subject, counselling all to follow strictly in the footsteps of the Master in this direction, and never desert the post of duty. After an appropriate pause at the close of this sound practical exhortation, one of the lay brethren who always has a point to make —and generally makes it—arose nnd endorsed the remarks of his predecessor most cordially, affirming in addition, that “in all the history of the N'ew Testament he had been unable to find that the Great Teacher during his entire ministry, indulged in a single summer vacation and the same might also be said of his immediate followers in the ministry of truth!" Perhaps the brother did not take into consideration the fact that in those early time9 the people were not so ex acting as to require written sermons of intel lectual power and rhetorical finish; but were eonteut to receive the glorious truths of the Gospel, with all meekness, from unlearned though inspired laborers. The radical changes of the past eighteen centuries render the analogy of the lay brother well nigh obsolete; though the palpable “hit” was none the less enjoyed by both minister and people, and un doubtedly suggested a train of thought that may not prove entirely unprofitable to all concerned. We believo there is a city ordinance re quiring owners of real estate along our city streets to keep the sidewalks tree of snow during the winter season. It would not be a bad arrangement to have another ordinance passed, requiring property holders to keep the streets about their premises free from unsightly burdocks and noxious weeds, that to a slovenly extent infest some of our other wise attractive thoroughfares. If the city authorities would set a good example by a little busliwaeking in the vicinity of City Hall, the majority of the people might follow suit, and thus effect a wonderful transformation, most desirable to behold. Consumption, Bronchitis, General De bility.--Caution.—HYromospiHTES.—Fel lows’ Componnd Syrup of Hypophosphites. As this preparation is entirely different in its combination and effect from all other remedies called Hypophosphites, the public are cau tioned that the genuine has the name of Fel lows Co., blown on the bottle. The signa ture of the inventor, James I. Fellows, is written with red ink across each label, and the price Is §2 per bottle.
