Paper by D. M. Dunham, member at large, “On Irrigation.” It is a new thing for us here in Maine. It can be made ol great value, if the farm ers ol Maine spoke of the practices of Irri gation in oilier States; water is food for grass, and we may renovate our fields by simply irrigation; spoke of irrigation In other countries. Irrigation has been prac ticed from earlist ages, and has always been found of great utility. In Utah the utility of irrigation may be seen to the greatest advantage. It would overcome the damaging effects of our drouths. Water is manure to a certain extent. It is wonderful that so little is known by us of irrigation. Recommends an appropriation be made by the State, so that the Agricul tural College may make experiments in irrigation, and report to the farmers of Maine. Paper by Geo. E. Brackett, member at large, on “Associated Dairying." This is no longer an experiment, but a reality, with us. From one factory of three years ago. we now have a score. We shall have three score at least this year. We need not be afraid of glutting the market. We have room for 200 factories more. We are a dairying section of natural advan tages we are turning our attention large ly to dairying. Our papers are filled with accounts of organizations of factories or discussions that lend to the same end. Presented facts and figures relative to Waldo county cheese factories. Waldo county leads off with the first organized “County Dairymen’s Association.” Our four factories made last season, 42,040 lbs. or over 12 tons of cheese. Average price obtained, 15 1-2 cts. Total value of cheese in market, $0,616.30. Average cost of manufacture, 3 1-2 cts. per pound. Aver age number of pounds of milk to a pound ol cheese, 9 6-10. It is a fact, under the old system, thc fartns have been and are now deteoriating. Dairying will change this; farm products sold will be consumed at home. The more condensed we can sell our farm products, the more money we get out of them. We can compete successlully with any other section. We can make at least as good dairy products as any other section, and our prices are better than theirs. It is not I for fancy butter makers, or milkmen, that the cheese factory is designed, but for the generality of our farmers. Prof. Atwater, ot Middletown, Ct., spoke about irrigation in Italy and Ger many. Spoke of sewage farms of England. Eighty to ninety tons per acre of grass is grown per year. D. M. Dunham spoke of small piece of cabbages that was watered the past season with good results. President Gilbert spoke of a farmer in his vicinity who practiced irrigation and who finds that it pays. J. E. Shaw of Penobscot spoke of an ir rigated field in Massachusetts—the good results were very apparent. J. M. C’a penier of Pittston spoke of a field on a canal in Rhode Island that was irrigated by water from the canal. It made great increase in hay crop. Mr. barrows of Oxford spoke of bring ing water into villages, not only to supply the dwellings, but also to water our gar dens. Hon. Harris Lewis spoke on irrigation on his own farm with water that comes from woodland, and finds it beneficial. Has a piece of land that the Mohawk river, overflows, and leaves a thin sediment every spring, which bears beautiful crops of grass. Believes in irrigation. Would do it in spring and fall. The committee to nominate a list of offi cers for the Maine State Dairymen's Asso ciation, reported as follows: For President—Seward Dill of Phillips. For Vico Presidents—T. P. Batchelder, Kenduskeag; W. I). Hayden, Madison; Frank Buck, Orland. For Secretary—J. W. Lang of Brooks. For Treasurer—J. W. North of East Jef ferson. Trustees—Androscoggin, C. II. Cobb, Last Poland Aroostook’, G. A. Parsons, Presque Isle; Cumberland, Samuel Ding ly, Lebago Lake Franklin, S. G Foster, Wilton; Hancock, S. N. Kent, Bucksporc; Kennebec, J. U.

Wilder, Pembroke; York, I. C Doe, Saco. Report accepted. \V E I>X ES DAY A El LliN OO.N. Prof. Atwater, of Middletown, Conn., gave a lecture on “Science of Cattle Feed ing.” This is a great science, great im provements have been made in the last few years, especially in Germany. There is such a thing as agricultural science. We can well learn from tho Germans in the science of cattle feeding. The stall and tho stable are agricultural machim shops; meat, meal, milk, work and pro geny, are the products. The animal or ganism is so constituted, that it ran trans form food into these. We must inquire into composition of different foods, and leant to feed those which will give result* wo desire. We must inquire how much per day an animal needs, and how much nutritive value each variety contains, also how much the animal can digest, and as similate. lie gave results of experiments in cat tle feeding iu Germany and England, general results which have been arrived at, which being statistical, we cannot give as they aro too complicated and lengthy. This was a valuable lecture and was lis tened to with much interest. 11. C. Burleigh, of Fairiield—Believe* in the agriculture of Maine. Believes in [coicTisrrD on rovaTH rxor.'

pulg Jttnnekc journal AUGU sx-tv. SATURDAY MORNING. Feb. 81, 187 It will be seen by the report el yester-; day's legislative proceedings that the Sen-1 ate voted to abolish capital punishment,. the vote standing fourteen against hang ing and twelve in favor. The breeze about the Boston olleetor sliip has not subsided. Appearances seem to indicate that Russell will continue to; hold the place, but it is by no means cer tain that he will do so. A majority of the Massachusetts delegation appear? to favor that course. The defeat of the inflationists on Mr. Cameron’s free banking proposition is a stroke of the right kind. The remark* o! Mr. Conkling in the debate against any more irredeemable paper currency u ere to the purpose. It is evident that the op ponents of inflation are in earnest and will j make an able light. the GRAXQER PLATFORM. The platform adopted by the National j Grange at St. Louis defines at length the ob jects of the organization. A candid examina tion of it will result in finding in it but little to disapprove. In the main the principles will meet with approbation. There is a broad and generous spirit running through the whole, quite in contrast with the narrow ideas by which the Grangers arc eroneously represented in some quarters to he guided. It has been sup posed that their object is mainly political, but the platform distinctly disclaims any such purpose; also that their doctrines tend t agrarianism and communism, tut this is like wise denied. The leading principle is the protection and advancement ot the interests of the agricultural population, by Mir and legitimate method*, not by measures that are at war with justice or against the rights of •ociety or humanity. That our readers may judge for themselves of the principles of the order we copy the following fr.ni the plat form, giving its substance. We shall endeavor to advance our cause by laboring to accomplish the following ob jects: To develop a better and higher man hood and womanhood among ourselves; to enhance the comforts and attraetions of our homes, and strengthen our attachments to our pursuits: to foster mutual understanding and co operation; to maintain inviolate our laws; to stimulate each other to hasten the good time coming; to reduce ur expenses both individual and co-operative; to buy less and produce more, in order to make our farms self-sustaining; to diversify our crops, and crop no more than we can cultivate; to condenae the weight of our exports, selling less in the buahel and more on hoof and in fleece; to syatimatize onr work and calculate intelligently on probabilities; to discounte nance the credit system, the mortgage sys tem, the fashion system, and every other sys tem tending to prodigality and bankruptcy: we propose meeting together, talking togeth er, working together, buying together, selling together, and in general acting together for our mutual protection and the advancement the association may require: we shall avoid litigation as much as possible by arbitration in the grange; we shall constantly strive to secure entire harmony, good will, and vital brotherhood among ourselves, and to make our order perpetual; we shall earnestly en deavor to suppress personal, local, sectional, and national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry, and all selfish ambition. Faithful adherence to these principles will insure our mental, moral, social and material advancement. Our business interests. We desire to bring producer* and consumers, farmers and man ufacturer*, into the most direct and friendly relations possible. Hence we must dispense with a surplus of middle-men—not tbit we are unfriendly to them, hut we do not need them. Their surplus and their exactions diminish our profits. We wage no aggressive warfare against any other interests whatever. Mu the contrary, all our acts and all onr efforts, so far aa business is concerned, are not only lor the benefit of producers and consumers, but nlao for all other interests that tend to bring these two parties into speedy and economical contact. Hence we hold that transportation companies ot every kind are necessary to our success; that their interests are intimately connected with our interests, and harmonious action is mutually advantageous. Keeping in view the first sentence in our declaration of i principles of action, that individual happiness depends upon general prosperity, we shall therefore advocate for every State the in crease in every practicable w ay of all faeili ties for transporting cheaply to the sea-board or between home producers and consumers, all productions of our country. Wc adopt it aa our fixed purpose to open out the channels in nature’s great arteries that the life-blood cf commerce may flow freely. Wo are not enemies of railroads, navigable and irrigating canals, nor of any corporations that will ad vance our industrial interests, nor of any la boring classes. In our oble norder there is no communism and no agrarianism. Wo are opposed to such spirit and management of any corporation or enterprise as tends to op press the people and rob them of their just profits. We are not enemies to capital, hut we oppose the tyranny of monopolies. Wo long to see antagonism between capnal anil labor removed by common consent, and by an enlightened statesmanship worthy of tha nine teenth century. We are opposed to excessive salaries, high rates of interest, and exorbitant percentage profits in trade, as they greatly in crease our burdens, and do not bear a proper proportion to the profits of the producers. YVe desire only self-protection, ami the protection of every true interest offered by legitimate transactions, legitimate trade, and legitimate profits. We shall advance the cause of edu cation among ourselves, and for our children, by all just means within our power. We e# pecialiy advocate lor our agricuhural and in dustrial colleges, that practical rgrioulture, domestic science, and all the art« wl.ii.di adorn the home, be taught in their courses >tuJy. We emphatically and sincerely a it the oft-repeated truth taught in our r: law, that the grange, national, State, or subordi nate, is not a political or party organization. No grange, it true to its obligations, can dis cuss political or religious questions, nor call political conventions, nor nominate candi dates, nor even discuss their merits in it meetings; yet the principles we teach under lie all true politics, all true stall smofiship, and if properly carried out will tend to purify the whole political atmosphere cf oer coun try j for we seek the greatest good to tin greatest number, llut we must always hear it in mind that no one by becoming a grange member gives up that inalienable right and duty which belong# to every American citizen to take a proper interest in the polities ul his country. On the contrary, it is right for every member to do all in his power legitimately to influence for good the action of any political party to which lie belongs; it is his duty to do all he can in his own party to put down brib ery, corruption and trickery, to see that none hut competent, faithful and honest men, who will unflinchingly stand by our industrial in terests, are nominated for all positions of trust, and to have carried out tin- principles which should always characterize every grange member, that the office should seek the man, and not the man the office. YVe ac knowledge the broad principle that difference of opinion is not crime, and hold that progress toward troth i« made by differianca of opinion, while the fault lies in the bitterness ol contro versy. We desire a proper equality, equity and fairness: protection of the weak: re straint upon the strong—in short, justly-dis tributed burdens and justly-distributed power. These are American ideas, the very essence of American independence, and to advocate the contrary is unworthy of the sons and daughters of an American republic.

CAVITAL ruxisiniE.xr Portland, Feb. 19, 1374. To Ha Editor rtf' the Journal I desire to present a few considerations against any change of the law in capital cases. I. The present system of trying such cases by one Judge was adopted upon the recom mendation nt Attorney General Appleton, wiio had had experience under both systems, ilis reasons are found on page four of his re nort lor 1939. Since about that year, another reason iias existed. If ft majority ot' the .Judges were obliged to attend sucdi trials, an increase of their number would he necessary in order to do the business of the Court. Another grave reason is, that it is impossi ble to discu-s and decide intelligently, in the eX' itement of a trial, the grave questions of law that arise in the case. Under our pres ent system, an opportunity is given fur that thorough and cool argument and examination of such questions that conduce so greatly to a correct decision. l*. I do not propose to discuss tha question of capital punishment, bat to give the statis tics of our own experience, which seem to he entirely ignotv l or misapprehended. 1 shall not undertake 11 ‘pc .k with precise ac curacy till since 1859. After the execution of Sager in 1833, there was no case till Thorn's in IMS. In the meantime t,ia 1837) the law was amen J. The death penalty was in terms continued, but it was provided tli «t i; should not be indicted within one year after sentence, nor until the record had been certified to the Supreme Kxecutive, and he had issued his warrant. It was not made anybody's duty to certify the record to the Governor, Ooe feature of this law is exec* d ingly had. 1: lift the sentence of death hang ing over the convict all his life, and the Gov ernor could is»uo his warrant whenever he saw fit to do so. li one Governor did not, another could; and at one time, there were in our State l'rison five or six men, whom the Governor could have had hung any day he pleased. In 1S89 the Legislature amended the law, removing this feature ot it. It still leaves the eonvi, t a year to reflect on his crime and its consequences; it is made the duty of the court to certify the record to the Gover nor, who is commanded to issue his warrant at the end of the year to execute the convict, unless the sentence shall be commuted. Tne_ Constitution give's the Governor and Council the power to pardon (which includes commutation) at i no lav. can take it away. They are sworn to execute ths law, and as it now stands must issuo the warrant, unless they find sufficient reason for commuting the sentence. If the minority hill is enacted, the Governor and Council still can do a« they can do now-, and practically, the law is explicit and certain enough as it is. The law of 1837 was in time construed to intend to abolish practically capital punishment. When that construction w as first given, I cannot ascer tain, but it was not fully settled till 1858. In deed 1 cannot ascertain that the record was ever certified to the Governor till the Knight c is'- in '57. though it probrdhy was in the Cool idge erfse. It docs not appear to have been in Thorn's case, and Gov. Dana in IMS calls the attention of the Legislature to the fact that until the record is so certified, no war rant can issue, and that there was no 1 iw ri qairing the record to be certified. In 1819, in the Coolidge case, Gov. Dana decided that the law made it his duty to ex ecute the convict or commute the sentence, and the sentence was commuted. lie report ed his decision to the Legislature that “tlieir silence might sanction the view of the imper ative character of the law, or their disapprov al reverse it," and the Legislature were silent. Jtut in 1838, Gov. .Morrill decided (in the Knight ease) that the practical construction was that “hanging is played out," and de clined to issue lila warrant for the execution of Knight. In 1839 there was one conviction for murder. In 1SG0, there were two capital trials, resulting in one acquittal and one con viction. In the three years, 18G1, 1802 and 18G3, serin persons were sentenced to death, and at tiie close of 18G3 two eases were pend ing after a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, in which the same sentence was pronounced and two other cases were pending in which the same result w as reached. One of the sentences, however, was for a crime committed in 18G0; deducting that we have ten persons sentenced to death for offences committed in the tlucc years id,ore named, and no tmo of them for th; same offence. This terrible record lias no parallel in the his tory of the State, thus showing the error of the allegation that capital offences have large ly increased since 1NG9. In 1801 there were eleven eases before the court in which a cap ital olfonce was originally charged, in two cases (of arson) a not pros was entered; in two others, tlie indictment was for man slaughter; in one other the plea of “guilty ol manslaughter" was accepted; in one other, the accused was adjudged insane and sent to tile Insane Hospital; two wore convicted of manslaughter and three convicted and sen tenced to death, in 1803, there were three j eases tried; result, one conviction, one ac quittal, and one not pres, alter the evidence was out. In 18(13, six new eases were before the emut in w bich the death penalty was fi nally pronounced; one, in which the accused died beiore trial; one in w hich the verdict was manslaughter; besides these there was lone murder, the two perpetrators ol which j w ere killed in resisting arrest. In 1801,there was one conviction in a new case, and in I another ease the accused died before trial, j In 1803, there were three new eases, two of which resulted in acquittals and one in a ver diet of manslaughter. In 1807, there were four it* eases, which’resulted in one convic tion of murder iu the first degree, one con vict! jii of murder in the second degree, one conviction of manslaughter, and one acquit tal. In 1807, there wer'- tw j new cases; in oar (lie accused w as sentenced to deulh; in the other (the Verrill and Harris «ast>) one was so sentenced, and the other discharged. In 1«G8, there were three new Lases result ing in two death sentences, and one acquittal. In 1803, there were two new eases, one I murder in the first degree and one man •laughter. In 1870 there were three new cases, resulting in one death sentence, one conviction of manslaughter, and one acquit tal. In 1871, there were two new eases; in one the accused was acquitted; the other, (Heed’s case) Is pending. In 1872, there were three new cases, resulting in one death sentence, one life sentence, and one sentence for manslaughter. These statistics since 1831* are taken front the reports of the Attorney General. 1 have not seen the Heport for 1873. The Lowell ease is not included in the foregoing state ment, and should he added to the list ot the year where the crime was committed. 1 he jieve it will he found that 18(13 was a more “murderous year" titan 1873, and that all in ferences based upon a different assumption arc incorrect.

As the members of this House are aware, a bill entitled “an act relating to rail road connections,” was introduced by the gentleman from Glenburn, and by a vote of the House w as referred to the railroad com mittee. Tho Senate referred tho matter to the same committee in concurrence, and Feb uary 11th was assigned for a bearing on the subject. A hearing was had at the time ap painted, and the appropriate Committee laid tho matter over for one week, previous to 1 taking the vote. On Wednesday the 18th inst. tho Committee voted, 8 to 1, (Senator Shaw of Penobscot, being absent,) to report, ought not to pass. I then gave notice tiiat I should make a minority report. The gentle- man from Portland (Mr. Fessenden) received the papers on the part of the majority. For some reason to me unknown, the Committee was called together yesterday morning, just previous to the session, and voted to take the papers from the hands of Mr. Fessenden, and commit them to a Senator to report in that branch. Btlieving that alt Committees, in accord ance with parliamentary usages and preee- d. nt, make their reports to the branch from which tiie petition, order or bill originates, and believing that the minority have a right to be heard in this matter, therefore I ask permission of this Mouse to lay upon the table n bill entitled “an act relating to rail road connections,” and ask that it be printed and Tuesday next at eleven o'clock, assigned lor its consideration. 1 hope and trust that a sense of justice may prevail, and this courtesy 1 be extended.

JLot’al ana State Nelm Our eastern and seaboard exchanges say that it has been a hard winter for fishermen and traders. The Reform Club meeting is adjourned tor week—to meet one week from this eve ning. _ The union religious services to-morrow af ternoon will be held at the Methodi-t church, at half-past two o'clock. The}- will he of a social character, and all are invited. Thero are several importaut matters yet re maining to engross tiro legislative mind, and he who looks for an adjournment next week ujay he disappointed. There will he preaching at the Winthrop Street l.’niversalist church to-morrow morn ing, by the pastor, Bw. Mr. Hinds, hut there will be no service in the evening. Kimball, over the Express office, has taken tunc fine photographs of Bev. Mr. Earle. We presume they are for sale at ids picture rooms. James E. Cates of East Vassalboro', who recently sold out his stock ot goods to the firm of Lewis Cates, lias bought cut Jesse Dorman of North Vassalboro' ami will soon open business at that place. The meetings at the First Christian Union Church on Cushnoc Heights continue to in crease in interest. Some dozen or more new voices have recently been heard in the sro-: 1 meetings. It is thought that the accountants at the State Prison will close up their business by the middle of next week. The examination of witnesses before the special committee will probably begin at the State House the first of the week. i'or the dispatch of business in legislative committees, all parties concerned are some what indebted to the prompt activity of the Committee on Business, who have been very vigilant in keeping the “pot boiling" in every committee room. The people of Knox county are talking about the erection of county buildings. Messrs. Foster ti Dutton, who built the court bouse at Skowhegan, are to make proposals lor furnishing the materials ait 1 ere.tine the iiructure. The prospects of the Industrial Exhibition to be held in Portland next May are very en couraging. Already twenty-five applications have been made tor room to display manufac ture*.

Batiks, in the Temple Course, at Meonian Hall, this evening. Gen. Banks is an able writer and an eloquent orator. The lecture for which be i.- annnunc J “Will it Endureis a most interesting and valuable one, being a revi.-w ot the progress of the Bepublic, a considerati n of the dan gers which threaten it, and an exposition of the elements of moral and physical power which guarantee its perpetuity. A correspondent of tho Brunswick Tele graph has this outburst of “poetry” on the noble Androscoggin: The dashing Androscoggin i-. my name. Born uu the mountain's side; wander through the heart ot Main'1 T'ii Merry meeting tide. Molechunkemnnk—Metalock'.. Lone. Is first to cheek my course.

And Brunswick dams me twice; I leap their harriers —I am free, And put out lor Meirymecting l ay. where I get man led to old Kennebec. And now, so far as the legislature is c m ccrncJ, the gay and festive “dorg'' may con tinue his bloody raids upon the flocks of inno cent sheep, without let or hindrance. This ferocious animal may lamb into any llock in discriminately and mutton on to the best look ing sheep, having no fear3 of the law. This agricultural calamity is still at large, lawless and reckless, wandering up and dawn the earth, “seeking whom be may devour some body.” It is no ewes; the sheep is bald headed if this four-legged monster can't t ull tho wool over its eyes. Doiiix* ol Committees;. The Committee on Insane Hospital yester day voted to report in favor of building of a new insane hospital on the present hospital farm, and to recommend an appropriation of $100,000 for tha same. This committee also recommend the fitting up, temporarily, of the unfinished brick chapel, at A cost not exceeding $5000. The Committee on Federal Relations have voted to report a bill for the appointment of a a Board of Harbor Commissioners. (•ariliuer I.ocals. K. V. Whittier of Gardiner who is about to leave lor Florida, in poor health, was made the recipient of a purse of $150 from 1 is friends in that city, tho other day. A valuable horso owned by Josiali Maxcy, Ksq., ran away yesterday morning, and broke one of its legs, thus ruining the animal. The proprietors of the mills are hopeful of a good season’s work. Hon.

Tho Agricultural Committee of tlio legisla ture had a full meeting last evening in the Judiciary room at tho State House. There was quite a number present also besides the committee. Tho immediate cause of the meeting was the manner of the defeat in the House of the bill to protect sheep husbandry, many considering that contempt had been cast upon the committee by the ludicrous amendments offered by some of tho members in the IIou«' I Mr. Hutchins of Penobscot, offered a pro I atnhie and resolution, stating that-is the 1:11 for t!;e protection of sheep husbandry had been I rought into contempt by amendments in the House, of an humorous character, and that all matters are entitled to n respectful consideration, the arm ndments aforcs.-.i 1 are ri-gnrih d n« an insult to the advocates ot tiie bill, the committee on agriculture, tiie Senate and House, and prejudicial to win ar.d har monious legislation- 'file resolutions urge tho combination of tho agricultural iriUtv«ts as a protection again t mer.opi ii. i ami politi cal rings. -Mr. Wilder of Pembroke, spoke oi tiie im portance of sheep husbandry. There are some localities where cheep have 1 ecomu ex tinct on account of dogs i rom Wi st Quod dy h> ad to Muchias, miles, one of the most fertile portions of the State for grazing pur poses, slier p could not he kept, out Turners were obliged to abandon the enterprise bo emse ol tiie prcvalancc of dogs. Mr. Gibbs of Glenburn, would be sorry to see rlie resolutions passed. He thought that no disrespect had been intended by the House; he certainly did wot take it as an insult; per il.ps tlic hill had given some little license for harm! ss Tin. lie move I that the resolutions h: (hu J on the table. Mr. Wasson ot Murry, sail that the hill had come before the 1 ••.•.’Mature from toe committee on agriculture, had passed the Senate by a d. cisivc am! conclusive vote, and was worthy of re poet and of becoming a law. A premeditated attack had I" mi u; ;n the bill. Mr. Gibbs thought the matter hud not n premediated, lie thought that some ot the members had carried their pleasantry larlher than they intended. Mr. 1'iercc of Embden, th night that the resolution was too severe we had better let the matter pats without takiiaffront. Tli t pri ami I? and re ilution were iai i on the table. Mr. Wasson pr.■••:•'. d tic t'/.iowieg re solve 1!esoi.vkh, That the 1 iw taxing dogs be imperative, and the dog tax became a town fund to reimburse -a of beep occ i-i-med by dogs. Mr. Wasson, in support ol i.is resolution, gave something of Ins experience: lie lost at one time five sheep,worth tw enty dollars each. There are hdO.UUU sheep now kept in the State, and there are 00,000 dogs—one dug to every five sheep. Uy tiie use of the unim proved lands, we could keep 7,000,000 sheep in the State of Maine. We ought to protect a class of property th j> taxed against a class that is not taxed. Mr. Hamilton of llid.ltf.-rd, said it was im possible to keep sheep on the farms in the vi cinity of his city, on uccount ol their destruc tion by dogs. There arc many foreigners who keep dogs. The law should apply to every town; was in lavor of the substance of tho hill defeated in tiie House. Farmers ought to combine for their protection and the iuriherance of tlair grout industry. Senator Cutler, of Fcnobseot t unity, sympathized with the laboring classes, because it.- belonged to them. There had been considerable eloquence in the House on lobsters claws and tails, drawing out the best talent in the legislature; hut measures looking the furtherance of the great farm::' r.-!»rc»t is parse! by with a stale joke. Mr. M ul.oil tb: u ;!:t that f I! :I i t;! lur.il interest had not been iieghct.d ly th.- 1 latino or the administration. Mr. Foster of Xcwry was confident that ties action of members cf the House was not intended as a slur—it w-.,s only a joke carried too tar, perhaps. Some had thought tiiat the proceed.ugs looked like a raid cn tho farm ers, hut he hardly thought that. in returning to the main quest!-n, Mr. Gibbs said lie was in favjme of our skat is ts havo fuund limited areas of ice on the river within the past week for “i indulgence of their favorite Frort.

Dr. Allen ol' West Waterville, successfully I xtraeled a fragment of a common sewing1 needle from the uterus of a lady of that place. What is almost unaccountable, it had been in her system more than ten years. At that time she was sewing the bottom on sonic slippers, and having no suitable needle, she bent one for the occasion. She has not used a needle like that since, so she is convinced that she must, at that time, have swallowed tins fragment. The fragment was one inch in length, and bent, as above stated. It is doubtful if a like ease Is on record.—[Fair tield Chronicle.

It is sup posed Mr. Emerson's liorso took lright just before reaching the crossing as he dashed across escaping injuring. Mr. Emerson leaves a w ile, four sons, and a 'laughter to mourn his loss.

science in fanning. Believes in brains as well as muscle in farming. We must have practice with theory. Spoke of experi ments in feeding swine, he lately read and examined; eighteen and one hall bushels of corn or oaf meal equals one ton of first class hay in feeding value accor ding to his experience. lion. Harris Lewis—All science is founded upon experience. No farmer need fear science. A good many theories have been put forward for science. A cow never had more available or nu tritious food than grasses of all good varie ties. Grass is the perfection of cattle food. Dried one hundred pounds of green corn fodder in an oven; it then weighed eight pounds. We should feed dry hay or straw with com fodder fed green. Good hay cut in the blossom is the cheapest winter feed for cattle. Dried corn fodder is not bad food for cows. Has settled down upon the mangel wurtzel as the root to grow for feeding dairy cows, gives a peck a day. Has fed no grain lor twenty years. Feeds only nice, early cut hay. "Sweet corn is the bt«t variety to grow for feeding milch cows. S. F. Ferley of Naples—Spoke o! cook ing food. Thinks cooking food for cattle don't pay in most instances. It may be some classes of animals, may require food cooked. Relieves in experimental stations where experiments may be accurately con ducted and reported for our guidance. We can not afford to do without them. Hon. Warren Percival—Made some in teresting remarks upon cattle breeding and feeding. He gave much experience and results of experiments. Thursday Morning. Business meeting at 9 A. M. State stipend disposed of. Convention opened at 10 o’clock. Paper by Hon. Geo. B. Barrows member from Oxford county. Subject, “Importance of a System of Agriculture."’ We have no system of agriculture, and no fixed agricultural creeds. We have no place to learn them. We should have out voting men have access to some means of obtaining a fixed agricultural creed tbe same as those who wish to obtain fixed medical law or mercantile knowledge or creeds. Thinks we should adopt certain well considered maxims in agriculture for guidance of onr young men who intend to be farmers. It is the province ot such bodies as tins board to say after due trial and experi ment, what practical science we may de pend upon as general principles upon which to base operations of I lie farm. Or ganization is a powerful means for good for farmers. Mr. Barrows lecture was listened to with close attention. lion. Charles L. Flint then delivered a very instructive lecture on “Milk anil the secretory organs of the cow,” which was illustrated by a diagram of those organs. Milk is tl e nearest to blood of any animal secretion. The arteries which supply the mammary glands are large and numerous. They divide and subdivide and terminate in capilaries, which are exceedingly mi nute arteries and exceedingly numerous. The blood is returned in veins which be gin in a union of these capillorics and coalesce into large and very large conduct ors of blood toward the heart and lungs. The milk is secreted from the blood when in these capilleries by little capillory sacks which connect with larger, and with milk dnets, which connect with the large reser voir where it is kept stored till drawn by the calf or the hand of man. Milk is per fect food. Knows no cure for garget after well seated. Thinks milk mirrovan indi cation by which we may judge partially of the value of a cow fo* milk. Knows’ of no way to prevent cows leaking milk. Hard milking cows mav be made to milk easier by enlarging orifice of teat. Hon. Harris Lewis—Spoke of garget and milk fever in cows and the remedies he tried. Viz. iodide of Potassa. and otli er things. Never more than half cured a cow. Lyman Winslow of Lincoln county— I'ses a pint of soil soap and a pint of but termilk to cure cows giving curdled milk and bloody milk. John Bodgn of Jefferson—Has had good success curing garget with garget root. Belated his experience at some length Harris Lewis—Would recommend Mr. Winslow to substitute Glauber salts for soap in his garget medicine. The man who dogs his cows most, who huddles them at the gate or bars on the run, who throws the most sticks and stones at them, who abuses them most, and who exposes them most to inclement weather, will have most blessings from garget. fCONTINUED TO-MOHBOW.j B This Remedy does not simply renew lor a short time, but it produces perfect aud permanent cures of the worst eases of chronic Nasal Catarrh, ami will pay $500 reward for a case that 1 cuu not at re.

Printed from new type, and i lustrated with Sever.tI Thousand Engravings and Maps. t The work originallv published untler the title of The Xhw American Cycloivedia, was completed tu 1803. since which time the wide circulation which it has attained iu all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled The American Cy CLOIVKDIA. Within the las: ten years the progress of discov ery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of relerence an imperative want. Thu movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience ai.d refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc curred. involving national changes of peculiar mo ment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of* the old j work appeared, has happily been ended, arul a new course of commercial and* industrial activity has been commenced. i Large accessions to our geographical knowledge j have been made by the indefatigable explorers of j Africa. The great pol tieal revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result ot the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose life every one is curious to know the partic ulars. Great battles have been lought and impor tant sieges maintained, of which the details arc as yet preserved only In the newspapers or in the transient publications ot the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent aud authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it j has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring dowu the information to the latest possible dates, und to furnish au accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress ot political and historical events. The work nas been begun alter long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resour ces for cailying it on to a successful termination. 1 None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has beeu printed on new type, loruung iu lact a new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been sug gested by longer experience and enlarged knowl edge. T he Illustrations which are introduced for the first time iu the present edition have been added not lor the sake ol pictoral effect, but to give great er lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natu ral history, and depict the most famous and re markable features ot scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the coet of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature ot the Cyclopaedia, aud worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each voiumc.
