Harper’s Magaziue for December folly main tains the position which tbit periodical holds, both as to literary and artistic excellence. Head ers will first of all turn to Longfellow's poem, "Kcratuos," beautifully illustrated by Abbey and Fredericks. While the subject of the poem is one dear to the hearts of all bric-a-brac hunters, the poet has given us not only a poem of marvel ous skill in realistic description, but also an im. aginative woik of the highest order. The Num ber opens with Milton's "Hymn on the Na tivity,” witt seven effective illustrations by Fred ericks. Mrs. Spotljid contributes a paper, beau tifully illustrated, ou "Elizabethan and later English Furniture.” It is a careful study of dec 01 sure ait m England since the Renaissance, and the author’s graceful st»le renders it as at tractive as it is instructive. Mr. William H. Hideiug coutributes a paper on the "Metropolitan N ws paper," which will be universally popular( It is embellished by twenty-seven illustrations t including portraits of prominent New York edi tors. ".Many Leaves and few Grapea” is an Ital ian Christmas story, by Virginia W. Johnson, wi'b two striking illustrations by Abbey. This Number is especially rich iu fiction. Miss Thack eray begins a new story, "Da Capo;” and Ed ward Everett Hale's story, "Back to Back,” it concluded. There are also six admirable short stories. "The Man in the Cage" u a very strong story, by Rebecca Harding Davis; "The Daily Advertiser,” by 11. E. Scudder, it an extravagan za, sufficiently dramatic for the stage; “My Un cle’s Heiress, by Charles DeKiy, is novel and exceedingly clever; "Master Bobby's Romance,” by Henrietta II. Holdich, ia a very humorous story;" Was it Love or Blindness is by the au thor of “The Chimers of the Coach,” which at tracted so much notice last summer. M. D. Con way coutributes an enteiestiug description of his visit to Jamrach’s—the London man who supplies the zoological gardens of Europe with animsls. E. S. Nadal contributes an inteiesting study of the “Cosmogony of Paradise Lost." Besides the poems already mentioned, there ia one contrib uted by James T. Fields, entitled "Monmouth,” and one “To a Friend who Slept 111," by Edgar Fawcett. The editorial summaries are as varied and entertaiuiug as usual. For sale by J. F. Pierce. The Edinburgh Review for October bas the fol lowing table of contents: Torpedo Warfare; The Philosopher Choo-Foo-Tszc Souvenirs of Count ess d' Adoult; Ulfilaa, the Apostle of the Goths; Prince llardeuberg's Memoirs; The Order of the 'hjif; Mr. Anthony’s Novels; Lyte’a Eton Col lege; The Story of an Xudian Life; The Russian Invasion of Turkey. We have received the American reprint from the Leonard Scott Compa ny, New York. We have received parts 45, 46, 47, 48, of Zell’e Popular Encyclopedia, the publication of which is now hastening to a close. Only 16 parts re main to be issued to complete the work, and the publishers promise to send them out very soon. Horace King, agent, Thompsonville, Conn. Lippmcotl’s Magaziue for December opens with an interesting and richly illustrated article on Sic ily, by Allred T. Bacon. "Captured by Cossacks, is the title of another illustrated paper, detailing the adventures of a French officer who served un der Davoust in 1813. The new serial, “For Per cival,” also illustrated, continues to form one of the most attractive features of the Magazioe An article which cannot fail to attract much at uution aud excite a lively interest, ia one contain mg the re mm licences ot a venerable lady (“M. IV’) belong mg to the highest circles of Washing ton society, who was the guest of Madiaon, an mmate of the White House during the presidency of Jackson, and an intimate frieud of Washing ton living, John 1*. Kennedy, aud other celebri ties. The paper, which is full of lively descriptions and amusing anecdotes, is entitled “Days of My Yuth.” T. b. Perry, the well-known Boston critic discusses Uuida’s Novels, and explains the causea of their immense popularity, despite their glaring taults and the ceusures ol reviewers. William Oweus wilies euteitamingly on the “Folk-Lore ol tue bouLheru Negroes,’"aud Olive Logan gives an account of “Lugiisb Domestics aud their Ways.” There is a story of French Internation alism, “A Portrait,” by ita Auiol Prokop.

The conductors announce attractive teaiuies tot the new year, aud promise that no effort will be spared to maintain aud mcrease its popularity.

Sail# Junnrbrc journal AUOU8TA, Wednesday .VIorninv, Not. 21, IN??. A delegation of eminent Massachusetts gentlemen called upon the President the other day, and as they were about to re tire one of them remarked that they would no longer occupy the President’s time, as they had no axes to grind, whereupon the President said *‘I don't know you Mass chusetts people do have axes, and you grind them pretty fine.” Isn't that a lit tle sharp upon the good and unselfish people of our sister State From 1’icsi deut Hayes too After about eight months waiting, dur ing which the government made no pro vision for the payment of the army—alter an extra session involving large expense —and after bitter opposition on the part of the democratic majority in the House—the army appropriation bill passed both branches substantially as the Senate de sired and contended for last winter. Those democratic reformers who proposed to re form the army out of existence and usurp the functions of the Executive have crawled iuto their holes since the hill passed. Mr. Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, having been interviewed by a Tribune re porter, gave his views very freely upon political questions. 11a says the Presi dent's southern policy is well liked by the democrats of the South, hut it will make no conversions of democrats to republi canism, nor resuscitate the old Whigs as an auxiliary to the republicans. He thinks the demoefats will elect the Presi dent in 1880, after which the South will levy upon the United Slates Treasury to make improvements in that section, and try and get even with the North as to the “benefices of government.” The Union soldiers at Washington nre being weeded out as fast as the demo crats can do it. The Boston Traveller correspondent, “Scott,” says: “The new democratic doorkeeper of the House has entered upon the work of reform hy dis charging all but one of the ex-Union sol diers on h:s roll as assistant doorkeepers and messengers. The republicans at the last session of Congress secured an amendment to the Appropriation bill re quiring the retention of disabled soldiers in the employ of the House, but this law has been entirely ignored by the officers selected by the House at the present ses sion, and every disabled ex-Union soldier, with one exception, was dismissed to-day. The one retained has lost both his hands, but it is very doubtful whether this will prevent bis removal so that his place may be given to an able-bodied democrat.” “Our advices,” says the New York Times, “in regard to the temper ol the House toward the bill for the repudiation of the resumption pledge are more en couraging than at any previous moment. Whether there is a majority for the meas ure or not is open to a little doubt, though, unfortunately, not to much doubt. But the Iriends of the bill are by no means so zealous as they were during the first fort night of the session, and it is quite within the limits of possibility that they may cool off enough duriug the next four days to allow the bill to go over to the regular session. That would be, as far as it goes, a triumph for honesty and common sense. The members of the House, since arriving at Washington, have some of them dis covered evidences of the general seuti ment of business men on the subject to which they were blind in their own homes. They have, probably, also discovered that there are graver interests and more im portant consequences involved in their wild crusade than they had dreamed.” The fall of Kars is the greatest event which has yet occurred in the Russo Turkish war. The place is regarded by those who are qualitied to judge as the key to the military situation in Asia Minor. It has long been a place of military im portance. It is situated on a rugged plain, 6000 or 7000 feet above the sea, on the Kars, a branch of the Arpatebal. It is defended by ramparts and surrounded by a ditch and has a strong citadel and other defensive works. The population is about 16,000. According to ueeounts the de-1 fence was obstinate and the assault by the Russians brave and well conducted. The possession of this place gives the Russians positive and great udvuntuges, besides the prestige which springs from so important a success. Should Plevna follow the fate of Kars this fall the Russians may cele brate Christmas under the satisfactory feeling that they have done a pretty good year’s work for themselves, and lelt the Turks in a decidedly bad predicament for future operations. During the winter months there will be an opportunity lor diplomacy to try lor a settlement and end of the contest. What the South is Striving for. Mr. Henry Watterson must be accepted M a fair exponent of Southern opinion, and the spectacle of the Solid South in al liance with the Northern democracy, which he presents to us with engaging frankness, cannot he ridiculed as a repub lican bugbear. We are not left in doubt as to what the South means to do, when, by the aid of two or three democratic States at the North, she gets full control of the National Government. "A South ern outlet to the Pacific" is to he secured at the expense of the Treasury, and the "reconstruction of our river and harbor system along the Southern seaboard’’ is next on the programme. "On these points.” says Mr. Watterson, "we shall "rout the abstractionists and level up '‘somewhat on the vast inequality which exists as between the beneliciaries of Gov ^eminent." In other words, the North, having obtained large appropriations for internal improvements while the slave States were seeking by force of arms to break out of the Union, the South is now to thrust her lean and eager hands into the Treasury and take out such amounts as she thinks will make tilings even. This is just what many republicans have been apprehending for a long time. Now that the project is so unhesitatingly avowed from so responsible a source, easy-goii* people who imagine that a po litical tniileuiuin is at hand when all sec tional issues are to be forgotten, will, per haps, sec that what they have been ridi culing as an alarmist’s phantom or the humbug invention of designing politicians wears the look of a pretty tangible reality. The dangers of the immediate future re late to National bankruptcy rather than to civil rights. The South lias got through warring on the negro. Is it to make an alliance now with Northern inflationists and repudiationists lor a war on the Treasury 1—Tribune. The President and Senate, From the Washington Correspondence of the New York Tribune. All the Republicans who have had anything to say about the caucus admit that the conference with the President, although so unsatisfactory to some lucmbeii of the committee, has done much good ami that the prospect of a complete under standing iu the party is still bright. It is proba ble ihai while the President will not withdraw auy of the nominations he has made, he will in the l'utuie appoint none but Republicans, where such can be found who are de»ei viug aud suitable, lie is reported to havu told the committee, in bidding them good night on the evemug wheu they called on him, that be thought they would have no cause ol complaiul heieailer. The cau cus, takeu as a whole, was uot fruitful of definite results. The Southern policy was uot mentioned, .'senatorial claimant* were not alluded to. No definite action was taken in regard to Democratic appointments, aud no resolution on auy subject w.%a passed. No arrangements were made for additional inteiviews with the President, aud no luture caucus was appointed. From tie Washington correspondence of the New York Times. .Several .Senators have been questioned as to then opinion ot the results ol the caucuses aud conferences ol the last 10 days, and me express ion has been uuifouu that the prospect or possibil- 1 ity of auy open rupture belwecu the President aud Senate has been dissipated. It is also known that the members of the .'senate are individually re solved to call more frequently at the White House aud cultivate Irienoly personal relations with the President, haviug discovered that, so far as he is concerned, they can maintain cordial relations without agiecing with him on matters ol public or paily policy. Tuis is illustrated by Mr.Ldmuuds, who has been a leader iu the caucus movement ol I he last week, and yet he is on terms ol exceeding intimacy with tne President, aud has no doubt ta ketl as plainly and with as much sarcasm at the White House as in the caucus. Senators who felt that the 1 resident and the benate were dulling apai t, aud might come into open hostility heloie I lie close ot the winter’s session, now feel that on both siues greater caution will be exercised, aud that on botn sides precaution will be takeu uot to precipitate trouble by hasty judgmeul9 or actiou. it may be said iu this connection that the only specific nomination that has been mentioned in me caucus discussions is that ol the Georgia Maishal. Otherwise, the talk with respect to ap pointments has been wholly geucral in itschaiacler. 1 hat the result oi the caucuses has been satisfac tory to all the benatois cannot he said. Tbete is much regret that the Piesideut did uot make some decided concession, and now aud theu a beualoi will be fouud to take a gloomy view ol the politi cal situation, aud to piedict mat all the confer ences have doue no goinl. Whose views are to be verified in this particular time alone will decide. (ienerul News. Miss Susan H. An’uouy was chosen a constable in the recent Colorado election.

Most of the real estate formerly owned in this city by W. K. Eancey, is offered for sale in our columns. Application should he made to Mr. Greenlief, who will make knowu the terms.

The thiaves were pursued and tiaced to Gardiner, wbrre they were both arrested. The name of one was Johnson. Tbe name of tbe other we have not as certained. They were both taken to Richmond yesterday. It ia reported that another reduction of way fares will be announced by tbe Maine l entral railroad on the 1st of December. Will this re duction of a few local fares be followed by an in crease in through fares Eight cents to llallowcll, and five dollars to Boston, perhaps! That's the style of magnanimity that baa seemed to prevail recently. Oar Belgrade correspondent, referring to the Savage tragedy in that town, says: “A good deal of sympathy is felt in this community for the un fortunate man who, crazy with drink, was led to commit this terrible crime, but no sympathy is felt for the person, whoever he may be, who sold tbe vile stuff that was the cause of this awful deed, and he should be punished equally with the miserable man who committed the deed. Rum has certaioly hern the destruction of this family. Mr. James C. Boyington of this city, has re ceived a letter from his son, Geo. W Boyington, giving intelligence of his son's election as Regis ter of Deeds in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. This most satisfactory tesult was achieved only »fter one of the hardest political fights ever en countered iu that section, the majonty being only sixteen. He went into the conflict to win, and with true Yankee pluck ha* “hoed his wsy through," notwithstanding tbe intiiieuecs against him. The following has been isued for the office of Adjutant General: General Orders, No. 14. 1. Lieat. Col. Jobu Maishall Brown, Captain Hiram H. Rich and Lieutenant and Adjutant Matthew Adams are appointed a military hoard, to examine the capacity, qualitieal inns, propr ety of conduct and efficiency of any commissioned nffi cer of tbe militia, who may be repotted to them as a fit subject for such examination. 2. Lieut. Col. John Marshall Brown will act as president of the board, and w,ll convene the same as aoon after tbe 20th of November instant as may be convenient, unless otherwise directed. We cen inform our Ellsworth correspondent "'Plebeian,” who certsmly has the faculty of "'•linging words," that the petitiou for the pardon of Geo. A. Dyer is probably on file at tbe State House, where he may consult it if he chooses. We thiDk we can find more interesting matter for our paper than tbe publication of the long list of names appended to it, for the sake of the few citizens of Ellsworth who did not sign it. The list was certainly formidable enough to assist the Governor and Council in coming to a quick de cision on tbe case. Mice Cowell’s Readings To-Alght. This accomplished young lady makes her ap pearance before the people of Auguste, for the ffirst lime, this evening, end should and probably will have a crowded bouse. Tbe entertainment will be of the highest order, and tha programme will comprise selections that are not used by other readers. Tbe following ia from the New Y'ork Home Journal: "The performances of Miss Cowell evince not only genius, but high training. Her wonderfully expressive eyes, her keen, deli cate face and lithe form, serve her as few have the good fortune to be served by nature." And thia from the New York Evening Mail: "Miss Cowell has a native power which reminds one of Charlotte Cushman, aad she will doubtless yet make her mark upon the hislriooic stage. Her elocution, as well as her wonderful dramatic ac tion bespeak the value of her instruction." Where did (lavage get Ills Runs! Editor Journal :—This town has of late pass ed through an intense excitement on account of the brutal marder of Mrs. Savage by her husband. Now that the excitement hax in a degree died away, tbe question is oaturally asked from whence obtained Savage tbe liquor that crazed hisbiain. and made him commit the horrid deed. We want to know the man—the accessory to tbe murder, for we can consider him nothing else. Some say that he waa in the habit of obtaining his liquor from your city, while others think that he got it Dearer home. Notwithstanding this horrible trag edy, we have persons right here in onr midst that think that there is no harm in a person selling liquid damnation to bis brother man, if he can ob tain thereby a little paltry pelt. How such a man is to be pitied, whose conscience is so seared, aod whose moral perceptions are so blunied that bo will deal out this poison to his broiher man. I hope for the good name of our town that there are no places in it where tbe vile poison is dealt out to blacken and deatroy happiness, and even human life i but many of us fear that we have some among us. from certain indications, who still dabble in this instrument of death. On such, the officers of ‘1 slaw should keep a watchful eye, and uot let i in go unwhipped of justice. They may escape for a time, but tne day of retribution cometh, when no man can escape. W.

On Monday evening, Bethlehem lodge of Ma sons celebrated with the enthusiasm that only tiue and loyal Masons can exercise, their anniversary, the occasion being the installation of tbe officers for the ensuing year. Previous to this an ad dress was delivered by M. W. Master, E. F. Beals, who held that position last year, and whose services have received deserved recognition by his rc election. The address contained many valuable thoughts concerning the ii*e and progress of the order. The officers were installed by Dist. Deputy Grand Master (too. P. Haskell, who be sides perfoiuiiug that service in a most becoming manner, departed from the usual routine by add ing at the close, an address to bis brethren of gieat beauty aud practical value. Past Master 8. J. C'hadbourue, read the charge to tbe Master, and M. M. Stone acted as Marshal for tbe occa sion. A select glee club contributed much to the enjoyment of the evouing by singing several pieces. The club consisted of Charlie Jobn-un, C. C. Hunt, A. D. Ward,and T. Frank Ladd. Tbe ball was filled by M i*ons, their w.ves and daugh ters. Tbe officers being inducted into their sev eral stations, Mr. George W. Jones intioduced the subject of a soldier’s mouument. Etfirts to se cure tbe carrying out of such an euierpiise had been made, and failed, au.l be thought if the Ma sous should take bold in earnest, by means of a levee aud subscriptions, the project could be car ried forward successfully. Itcmaiks favoring the project were also made by Geo. P? Haskell, How ard Owen, Samuel W. Lane, H. F. Blauchard, Dr. Brickctt and L. B. 11 ill, followed by an unan imous vote of those present in the same direction. A meeting of tbe several Masonic bodies will he held at Masonic Hall, on Friday eveuing, to make the preliminary arrangements. A banquet fol lowed, some three hundred persons sitting down to the well filled tables. Then ensued a season of social enjoyment, which lasted until nearly eleven o'clock. All expressed admiration of tbe furnishings aud fittiugs of the new ball, and the adjoiuiug rooms, all of which are used for Masonic purposes, and which arc found to he just right. The supurh canopy at tbe “East," with the fix tures for the windows, were furnished by Messrs, G. M. dt C. 11. Bosworlh of Portland, aud they will compare with the adornments of any Masonic lodge room io the Slate. This work is sufficient to commend this firm to all desiriug woik in that line. The entire evening was spent in the most hap py manner, and all retired hoping there would he many return* of the same. Nupreinr Judicial Court. —1.1 bitty. J Pic aiding. Tuesday, Nov. 20.

Tbe defect consisted of a bole in the planking of the hi idge between Benton and Fairfield, and pear the Benton shore of the Ken- i utbec river. The accident took place in Decern her, 1875. as the plaintiff was crossing in the daik. He stepped into the hole and fell, bruising his leg seveiely, ami wienching his back. Tbe opening argument by O. D. Baker was submitted aud but little more done at the hour of adjournment. To Prevent Itlphtlier!««. Seeing as we now do, the prevclancc iu our State, of the dread disease diphtheria, carry ing off fair children iu staitling rapidity, and sometimes sweeping away an entire family, it is due the people to be made aware how they m*y guatd against this terrible malady, and how best to keep their homes and premises in a condition that will not allow the admittance of tbe disease therefore, we give to our readers, a list of several disinfectants employed by the Piovideoce Board of Health, and though exceedingly simple, yet found to be very efficacious, and worthy of trial. There is danger lurking in every household, however neatly kept the ptemises, and it may easily aud cheaply avoided by the use of cheap disinfectants One of the cheapest aud best disinfectants for vaults aud draius is the follow mg 1. Take live (5) pounds of copperas, (sulphate of iron), and dissolve it in time or foui gallons (one pailful) of boiling water, mixing with i». one pint of crude carbolic acid. Larger quantities in the same propoition. Hot water is necessary be cause copperas will not dissolve readily in cold water. This may he used freely in vaults or drains. A consideiablc quantity mav be ut cessary at fir-t, aud it thould be repeated every dav or two, until all offensive odors are completely destroyed. Copperas, in quantities of five pouuds or more, will cost three cents per pound, and tbe crude carbolic acid,containing 30 per cent, of the acid, I will cost seventy-five rents per gallon. 2. Ait rate of Lead dissolved, one pound to one gallon of water, is an excellent disinfec'ant to I pour into sink pipes and water closets. It is with i ut odor, clean, and may be used ficely wherever needed. The nitrate of lead will cost about twenty cents per pound. 3. Permanganate of Potash is an excellent chemical dwuidectant to purify cistern ram watei that has become offensive. The quautity nec-sa ry can only be determined by trial. Dissolve a quarter ol a pound of the crude or impure per I mauganatc iu two or three q tarts of water and pour it into the cistern, stirring it well from the bottom. If necessary repeat the dose. The im pure permanganate of potash will cost about one dollar per pound. 4. Crude Carbolic Acid, largely diluted with water, makes a most valuable disinfectant to sprinkle iu yards about pi ivies, on heaps of filth, in filthy lanes, and especial y upon offensive rna uuie in stables. It will preveut offensive odors, aod also drive away dies. The crude article, cou tainiug twenty five to thirty per cent, of carbolic acid, will cost seventy-five cents per gallon, aud one galiou is sufficient to mix with one barrel of water, stirring it briskly when used. 5. t'arbolate of Lime is a very valuable and «afe disinfectant, aud may he sprinkled freely in cellars, yards, on heaps of filth, and iu any place wheie foul air is perceived. It will cost eight cents per pound in quantities of five pounds or more. There are other disinfecting powders in market containing eaibolic acid in fiuelv powdered clay, or other mateiials, all of which arc valuable, and in some cases the fine powder is preferable to the carbolate of lime. 6. Chloride of Lime, dry, gives off chlorine gas, ami acts in-'antlv to remove offensive odors, and is often very valuable for this purpose on ac count of its speedy and diffusive action. But it soon absorbs moistuic and loses it power. It will cost six ci uts per pound iu quaulities of five pounds or more. 7- Ventilation and Whiteirashimj with fresh lime are the he-t disinfectants for cellars and daik and dump places, aud also let the fiee sun light into such places, whenever it is possible. Kidney I.Orel*. Our attentive correspondent continues his notes My fourth chapter will he in part a description ol the iraprovt incuts on the next four estates, north i of second Samuel on the river road, after which it may he a little mixed. Our friend Lauriston Guild owns and occupies the next farm, it being one of the best In town, on which he has a large, thoroughly built an«l well finished brick house, which would need but I little repairs in a life-time. He has built a new j chimney and set boilers in the wash-house, built a laige cistern at the barn and shingled out-build mgs, and makes money underauy administration, democratic or republican; always lives within bis means aud never spends half his income to live, aud readilv accommodates those wuo need the surplus, for a fair compensation. Next in order is Almot John, not he who preached in the wilderness, but evidently a follow er in the footsteps of his illustrious namesake, living under his own grape vine if not fig tree. The pasture near the road has been turned into a mowing field, which improves the looks of the farm. He has shingled his house, the roof aud south end, and barn. Mr. Charles Hamlin's farm is composed of the old homestead and the Fletcher farm on which stood the old yellow tavern, a half-way house be tween Augusta aud Watervdlc. The old mast and swing sign came down since the ir«n horse rtade its appearance. The farm contains 130 acres, and cuts about one hundred tons ot Ray, and is one of the many farms in Siduey which is hard to heat. Mr. Hamlin has put on new trimmings, and shingled the toof of his large barn, built a new stable of ample dimensions, and a budd ing 22 by 30, two stories, the lower one tor a work shop, the upper cue for a granary. He is in aking preparations for a new house, quarrying *toue lor the cellar, to lie laid in mneut. The main hou*e to he 29 by 40 feet, ell 18 12 by 28, two stones, slated root'and all modern improvements, mall re spects to be one notch ahead of anything in town. There are two dwelling-houses ou the farm, in oue of which the Grangers have a neat and con venient hall. As an outsider I should judge they were prosperous and harmonious. They keep a stock ol good* and dispeu«e them to members at cost, and to the uninitiated for a small profit. The time was when au order called Good Tem plars met in the hall, but as there is no ardent to be obtained in Augusta, and the apple crop is a failure, the sound of the cider mill w ill be no more heard in .Sidney, therefore the mission of the order has been accomplished aud the record ends sine die. The itaptiat meeting house has had a coat of shingles on the roof. The house is occupied most of the time. Services are performed iu pait by students of Colby, now aud then by the neighbor ing laymen. Mr. Ambrose Sawtelle owns the parsonage and stable. He has shingled, clap boarded and painted the stable. Ilia dwelling is ou the opposite corner, which has beeu raised from a oue to a two story house, rc-shingled, clap boarded, new four-light windows, blinded aud paiulcd, built a new wing, making two tiue ten ements. He has shingled, claphoarded aud paint ed !ns home stable, bis laim extends to the mile's eud.and lies both sides ol the road leading to Center .Sidney. I came near forgeting to say that Messrs. Saw telle. Guild, Hamlin and Clark have build uew line fences of cedar rails, iron posts aud stone feet, which add very much to the value aud looks ol these farms. Samuel and William Clark and Charles Hamlin have had large quantities ot leached ashes called from Uallowell. School in district No. 3 is giving general satis factiou. This is Miss Keith's second term iu this disti ict, and she is quite a favorite up aud oowu the road. Having received a copy of the Fail field Chron- iele fium a friend at Kendall's Mills, 1 should judge, by the reading, ihat they exchange with the Journal. Your Leeds correspondent, Looker On, in glv- j ing an account of the cost of a crop of corn, charges the crop with no part of the cost of 45 loads of manure, nothing for spreading the same, nothing for husking 350 bushels of ears, nothing lor shelling 175 oushels of corn, nothiug for har vesting, thiesbing aud cleaning up five bushels of beans. It his corn (odder is equal in value with the manure lequired to grow his crop, I hope lie will put his seed corn luto the market and aJvise us where it can he had, anu please look agaiu.
