A writer in the Country Gentleman who raises live or six acres of onions annually, in the vicinity of Rochester, N. Y., de scribes his soil and his method of manage ment. lie says his onion land is a muck swamp, and he never fails of getting a good crop. The maggot never troubles him, even when the crop on the neighbor ing upland is almost wholly destroyed. Ilis crop last year averaged 845 bushels to the acre for five acres. As to variety, he finds the Yellow Danvers the most profit ble, and the Early Round Red the next best. His seed is sown with a drill at the rate of four pounds per acre if it is his own raising and he knows it is good; otherwise, six .pounds are used. If the weeds begin to show before the onions are up, he goes over the worst places with a steel garden rake. His hand weed ing is done by little girls. The work be twen the rows is done by hand cultiva tors, and one man and five girls will take care of five acres until the onions are too large for the girls to go among them. Af ter that the work is done with hoes. For this purpose he finds the push hoe the best. This he keeps going until the crop is ready to harvest, which operation is performed by raking with a common style wooden teeth hand rake—the teeth how ever are shorter and nearer together than in those used in the hay field. A man can easily rake out an acre per day. They are left on the ground two or three weeks after raking, to cure, when, if the weath er is good, they are topped into the field, otherwise they are first hauled to the barn and sheds, where the topping operation is performed. He ploughs his land in the fall if possible, for the reason, as he says, that the onion will bottom better where the land is compact than where it is light and porous. If he fails to get his plough ing done in the fall, he simply cultivates iu the spring instead of ploughing. For fertilizers houses unleached wood ashes and all the hog manure he can get. An unfailingremedy prepared Irom the best known roots and herbs in the world.

Baity Junuckc Journal AUGUSTA. WEDNESDAY MOBNING. May 20,1874. Congress will probably adjourn about the 22nd of June. Warm weather is mak ing business move more briskly. There is no renewal of the Arkansas war, and but little prospect of such a thing, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. The finance bill will linger a week in the House before it comes up. Efforts will not be lacking in the meantime to put it in more acceptable shape to the friends oi good currency. The announcement that the estate of Oakes Ames is insolvent is a great sur prise. It is said that if he had kept away from Congress and the Credit Mobilicr and attended to shovel-making he would have had a handsome fortune at his death. The formation of a new ministry in France proves to be a dillicult undertak ing. It is thought that the situation will compel a dissolution ol the Assembly, to be followed by new elections. Mac Mahon's power is not so absolute as the triends of a republic had reason to fear it might be. The late defeat of the ministry was a fortunate event for the republicans. Farming operations are being car ried on briskly this week. The season for planting and sowing is rapidly passing. The soft air and the warm rays of the sun are doing their work of preparation upon the ground, and now is the time to push things. With favorable weather there will be a busy time among wide-awko farmers in Maine for a few weeks. The great catastrophe in Western Mas sachusetts seems to have been caused by the faulty construction of the dam at the reservoir. The owners and builders have received a lesson in this calamity that will make them more careful in the future, but the misery and destruction of property and life already caused cannot be repaired by anything they may do. Weston failed to make out liis little walk of five hundred miles in six days, but it is said he succeeded in making about twelve thousand dollars by his effort, which will do much towards rendering him satisfied with the result. He walked 4GO miles in the time set, six days, which is a feat that but few could accomplish, and not many are foolish enough to attempt. With the exception of a lame foot and an ovcrpow ing inclination to sleep Weston appeared to be but little the worse for his walk. THE WILLIAMSBURG DISASTER. Oar Massachusetts and New York ex changes comes to us with thrilling and lengthy accounts of the terrible disaster in Williamsburg and other towns. We copy from them the following facts and incidents Mill River, the scene of the disaster, rises in the town of Williamsburg and runs south easterly until it empties iato the Connecticut just below Northampton. On its banks are situated the manufacturing villages of Wil liamsburg, Skinnersville, Ilaydenville, Leeds, Florence, and Bay State Mills. Tho first three are in the town of Wiliamsburg, and j the last three in Northampton. The river, in the summer, being subject to severe drouths, the volume of water is kept uuiform by two great reservoirs, one at Goshen and the other at Williamsburg. The valley of the river is peculiar in its formatiou, being very narrow, and not over GOO feet wide at any place. At Skinnersville and Leeds it is extremely nar row. The river is liable to sudden freshets, and, owing to its narrow valley, rises to a great bight. The Williamsburg reservoir has always been considered unsafe, and in times of flood serious apprehensions have been felt by the dwellers in the valley. A young gentleman in Ilaydenville told the writer that two years ago, at the time of a heavy rain, his father would permit none of the family to go to bed, but kept them up with lights burning all night, to great was his apprehension concern ing the reservoir. Tfte reservoir is in tbu village of Williamsburg. The two branches of the river meet, the west branch coming from the Goshen and the east branch from the Williamsburg reservoir. It bad an area of 104 acres, and it was made by damming up a valley between two mountains. The dam was about 400 feet long on top, and was G.1 feet wide at the bottom, sloping gradually to j tbs top. It consisted of an embankment ot ordinary gravel, in the center of which rose a wall of masonry of ordinary rubble-stone laid i in waterproof cement. This wall was four feet wide at the base, and tapered wedge-like almost to a point at the top. At tho bottom and through the center of the dam extended a 15-inch iron pipe, about 50 feet long. The waste water ran out of the reservoir at the top through sluice-way on the right, dose to which was the gatekeeper's house. I lie great defect seem* to have been in the wall of masonry at the dam also in its width and material. This wall, it now appears, was laid on the solid rock bed on the west side, but on tbe east the foundation was several feet higher, and appeared to be laid on noth ing but the natural gravel. It was here that the water was first seen leaking through the bottom. Here was the fatal error of the con structors. Though the dam has generally been considered unsafe, tbe County Commis sioner* viewed tbe work when completed, six or (even years ago, and pronounced it sale. The wall was then, however, concealed from view, so that its faults of construction could not have been noticed. It was in Williamsburg that the flood be gan and where its effects were most disastrous to human life. Fifty six lives were lost in this single village. The signs of ruin are most horrible. At the empty reservoir is teen the jagged walls of the dam. Below, for a |thousand feet and more, the bed of the stream is gouged out in chasms to a depth of 30 feet. Beyond, acres of woodland have en tirely disappeared, leaving not a trace behind. F'or miles the fertile meadows have been de stroyed and can never he regained. They are gullied and completely covered with sand and gravel, and imbedded with great bowl ders,many of them weighing over a ton apiece. About one-third of the village has hi on de stroyed, the Hood having cut a broad swath through the place, carrying houses down the stream. The river, just below tbe meeting of tbe two branches, changed its course, and leaving its old bed, has spread out over the entire meadows, where it is now running. In this typical New England village the contrasts between prosperity and misery, beauty and desolution, are sharp and sudden. F’rom tasteful cottsges, smooth lawns and blooming Dowers, one stares at once into scenes of deepest woe, where the scarred and (gamed ground, great shapeless masses of spliuteil which were once houses, or houses half destroyed, with their sides torn out, or upside down, ore in place of the prosperity ot yesterday morning. In the little Town Hall are laid the recov ered bodies, ghastly and some mutilated and gashed by the floating timbers, wrapped in sheets, waiting for friends to identify them. Long strings of teams, filled with curious strangers, are crossing and recrossing the river, where it flows over the new bed it has made for itself. Now and then a wagon comes in loaded with dead bodies .just recov ered. Great loads of coffins are continually arriving, and the hearse goes briskly back and forth, followed by a few mourners on foot. The people have too much to do to mourn long, and the funerals, though many, are brief. 1'nder the hemlocks, in the great cemetry on the hill-top, they are digging thirty new graves. The clothes are all wanted for the living, and the dead are buried in nothing but winding sheets as of old. Ilaydenville seems to have been unfortu nately situated between two river curves, and hence, at one end of the town, is to be seen the effects of the madly rushing torrent, in a sweep of highlands at the other, the effects of the devastating under-current of the backwa ter, as it receded from and finally leaped over the lower bank. It was about eight o'clock when the flood came down, and to use the words of a spectator “a man lived a lifetime before nine o’clock." The brass works were first swept, by a wall of debris from fifteen to twenty feet high, and with the added momen tum the flood went over the road-bed, devas tating lawns and porticos of houses, leaving a boiler L’,000 fc^t from its original position, and placing it on an elevated spot in front of a house, tearing out the stone sides of the river and placing the boulders in the bed of the channel or on the sidewalk, and sweep ing men, women, and children into eternity. Wooden bouses were seen to come bounding along like corks, and from the interior of more than one was heard the shrieks of wives and daughters, whom their husbands and fathers had left a few moments before in fancied security. It was a sight which par alyzed every beholder. The most frightful havoc of all, as regards extent of damage to property, took place in Skinnersville. Though fever lives were lost there than elsewhere. Only three houses are left standing in the village. The following graphic description of the catastrophe conveys an idea of the terrible scene. About seven o’clock the watchman at the dam discovered a small leak near the base, hut such things hail been seen before and caused no great uneasiness. In a few moments, however, the trickling stream began to run faster and wider; a con siderable gap appeared, and then the guard suddenly realized the imminence of the disas ter. He started on a run for Williamsburg. Long before he could traverse the two miles of down hill road, a loud rumbling noise went up behind him, the whole embankment gave way, and a huge wall of roaring waters swept down the valley from hill to lull. The mo tion of the great mass was not so swift hut what the watchman could save himself by es caping up the hill side, and thence he watched the progress of the destruction against which he was powerless to utter a word of warning. In the little village below the operatives had fairly begun their work for the day: the mills were alive witli busy workmen; there were the monotonous whirr of wheels, the buz/, of spindle and loom, and all the multitudinous sounds that go to make up the monotone of industry in such a hive of activity and en-r gy. In that busy little community ol souls there were few who were not up and abroad at this hour of the morning. For none of them was there any warning of the peril which, back of them on the hills, came sweep ing down bearing ruin, destruction, and death. Not until the tremendous bore HO feet high and of the width of the valley, throwing up spray like smoke and hearing a great mass of timber, earth, and stone in its teeth, was in sight and fairly hovering over them did they apprehend their danger. Looking up a! it then in the horrible moment of agony that was left them there was no escape. Toward the coming Hood there was no possible outlet. Only death in that direction. On either side toward the hills—oh, so far away—-they looked in vain. The hill of waters flanked them, and hope on either side was cut ofl. Down the valley there was no chance for the fleetest rider to outrun the hungry monster that came roaring after. It was a moment of deadliest terror. Ilemined in, surrounded, overwhelmed, what could they do? There was nothing left but to raise white faces and imploring hands to Heaven, and to God's mercy leave their fate. The great ghastly horror of that dawn 1 shrink from contemplating. The shrieks of women and children, the dumb, helpless con sternation of strong men, the roar of the rush ing waters, and the crash of timbers, the writhing, gurgling, and drowning of (he vic tims as they were seized up, whirled onw ard, crushed, and swallowed up in the flood beggar description. Here was no slowly rising stream, driving its victims inch by incli from floor to floor, till they waited on the roof to be delivered from the encroaching tide; nor was it a conflagration driving the terror stricken inhabitants from house to house and from street to street until it had laid a city in ashes. These arc calamities which, nppalling though they be, give at least a sign ot w anting and a chance of escape. I!ut here was a vil lage that woke with overwhelming destruction on its head that left them hardly time to pray before it swallowed them up in a very burly hurlv of death. The water they had stored up and held back that it might torn their wheels and do their bidding had risen against its masters, and with the angry roar of an in surgent mob had come dow n upon them with out any thought of mercy. And the tremendous power of this vast vol ume of water can hardly he1 conceived. The great stones in the dam and in the foundations of buildings were tossed about by it like peb bles. It seized deep routed trees and whirled them out of the ground as a man might flirt a half planted shrub fr.mi its place. It plunged against massive walls, and as tln-y tottered and fell, it caught great blocks ot masonry and flung them f ir and w ide in the track of its fury. It burrowed under the heavy boil ers that by the derricks and jacks crews and powerful machinery had been slowly and la boriously set in their places it tossed them up like feathers, and using them as battering rams, carried them aloft in its arms w ith a great sweep of destruction and death as it went. If lifted buildings from their founda tions, and crushing them together, scattered their fragments, iron and mortar and brick and stone, all through the fair valley it trav ersed. The hoarding houses of the operatives ana tne residences 01 tne capitalists, u plucked up and whirl, d togetlicr, in a drifting undis linguishahlc mass. It gathered reenforce* menu fur its work as it swept along; it took bridges in i's arms and dashed them down up on oilier bridges, crushing and destroying them it rolled before it and on its great curl ing front large blocks oi stone, masses of tim ber and iron, which it seemed to handle as weapons of destruction, dashing thin down upon whatever stood in its path. Incidents ol the Hood are tmm iwiis and heartrending. Whole families have, in tout.* instances, been drowned; in some casts men and women have been 1. ft chilli -s or wid owed, and the number w ho from a condition of comfort have been brought to destitution and left honnhss and penniless, can hardly be counted. The whole track of the deluge from Northampton to Williamsburg, about ten miles, is a scene ot devastation and woe. The subsidence of the waters, w hich was al most as sudden as their rise, has h It the w hole valley strew n w ith the ruins of w hat hut a few hours ago were prosperous illages, the abodes of com f. rtablc and cont« nted industry.

It will require three millions of brick to conipleto the new factory building for the Ti conic company at Watervillc. There is talk of forming u “professional" base ball nine in Portland. We trust the dis ease will not extend this way. Mr. Eucius llill, recently of the firm of Hill Dow, has purchased the stock and leased the store of Wiggin Goodrich, in this city. Mr. Charles G. Atkins, formerly of this city, contributes to Harper's Magazine a well written and finely illustrated article on his salmon-breeding works at Bucksport. One of the best vessels ever built in Castir.e was launched on the 8th, named “Clara Fletch er,” for the wife of the Principal of the Nor mal School. Kev. W. A.

Whitehouse, Esq., has opened the store above the railroad bridge, formerly oc cupied by Gould Cross, and is now dealing in wool and sheep skins. It is said that ten conductors on the rail road ara bung up for stealing. The fablo declared there were just ten thieves origi nally. A large lot of lumber, cut the requisite di mensions, and all ready for tbo manufacture of table legs, is piled up near the dam. It is the property of Baker Co., who manufac tures extension tables. The Theatre Comique, which is now on a tour of the eastern States, has exhibited in many of the towns and cities of the State, giving the utmost satisfaction. This company will appear at Granite Hall on Sat urday evening next. The first city hydrant, in connection with the Augusta Water Co.'s works, has been placed at the junction of State and Grove streets and Western avenue, and it works well. It is to boused by the fire department. A water trough will probably be provide at the same place. The discharge of “idiotic and harmless patients” from the Insane Hospital, excite3 universal comment and general dissatisfaction. It lias been very properly suggested that while the new chapel building is being fitted up, tc accommodate that class, a department bo set apart for tbe special accommodation of that class of natural horn idiots in all com munities who find pleasure in pointing fire arms at friends in joke. About as many lives are sacrificed by their insane folly of “playing shoot" as are destroyed by murder ers. As we announced the other day, the town of New Gloucester voted at its annual meet ing to hold a centennial celebration of the or ganization of the town, which occurs in Sep tember next. lfev. C. F. Penney of this city has been invited to deliver an address on the occasion. This is a high honor and will un doubtedly he accepted. Mr. Penney is a na tive of the town, is well acquainted with its history, and will give an address worthy of the occasion. We may mention in this con nection that Mr. Penney is to preach the ser mon at the installation of Rev. II. F. Wood as pastor of the Free llaptist church in Man chester, N. II., on Friday next. On Saturday last an old man between six ty and seventy years of age. whose name we did not learn, belonging in New Fork, strayed away from the Soldiers' Home at Togus. He was in the hospital department and had on a hospital dressing gown; had been in feeble health for some time. The most diligent search was made for him. Teams were sent out on the various roads Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday morning, a skirm ish line was formed of most of the inmates at the Home, and the woods wore scoured in every direction hut up to this time no eluo has been obtained of the missing man. The inrnato who has thus wandered away is a German, not being able to speak a word of English. Among the domestic inventions fur which the present age is noted, and worthily so, as tending to save labor and expense and in crease the comfort of families, we have hardly seen one deserving of more favorable consid eration or a more ready and cordial welcome in every household, than the Patent Combined Oven aud Steam Condenser for cooking stoves, which, in a marked degree accom plishes all the above results. We endorse tho following lrom the I.ewiston Journal: It is a very convenient arrangement for preventing tho heat, steam and bad odors, arising from tho stove, from escaping into the room, while in cold weather it is easily made to increase the heat. It is also designed to save time and labor connected with cooking which, we are told, can bo done w ith about half the fuel ordinarily required without it. So many advantages must recommend it fa vorably to every family, and ensure lor it a rapid and extended sale. Wiiitlii'op Locals. Rev. Mr. Bryant having returned from Dover N.

Advancing years, sickness, care, disap pointment, and heredi tary predisposition, all turn the hair gray, and either of them incline it to shcil prematurely. Ay Kit’* 11 Aiu Vn.ou, by long and extensive use, has proven that it stops the falling of the hair immediately; often renews the growth, and always surely restores its color, w hen laded or gray. It stimulates the nutri tive organs to healthy activity, and preserves both the hair and its beauty. Thus brushy, weak or sickly hair becomes glossy, pliable and strengthen ed; lost hair regrows with lively expression; fall ing hair is checked and stablished; thin hair thick ens; and faded or gray hair resume their original color. Its operation is sure and harmless. It cures dandruff, heals all humors, and keeps the scalp cool, clean and soil -under which conditions, dip eases of the scalp are impossible. As a dressing lor ladies’ hair, the Ysooit is prais ed for its grateful and agreeable perfume, and val ued for the soil lustre and richness of tone it im parts. fKEIAKia) 11 v Or. .1. C.

Lntiiely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title of The Nt-;vv American Cyclopaedia. was completed in 1Si»3. -inee w hich time the w ide circulation which it has attained in 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 ami publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled The American Cy CLOP.EDI A. Within the last ten years the progress of discov j ery in every department of knowledge has made a new' work of reference an imperative w ant. The 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 and 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 w as at it.-, height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical know ledge nave been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. The great political revolutions 01 the lust decade, with tiie natural result of the lapse of lime, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names arc in every one’s mouth, and of w hose life every one is curious to know the partic ulars. Great battles have been touglit and impor tant sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to wing down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, ami of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress o! political and historical events' The work has been begun alter long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resour 1 ecs lor carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact 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 eug gested by longer experience and enlarged know l edge. The illustrations which arc introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake oi 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 mark a h 1 e feat u res of scenery, architceture, a nd art, a well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended lor instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their exeention is enormous, and it is believed they w ill find a w elcome reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. This work Is sold to Subscribers or.ly, payable on delivery of each voiume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about soO pages fully illustrated with several thou sand Wood Engravings, and with numerous col ored Lithographic Maps.
