MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 21, 1874 THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. American Pomologlcal .Society. Wo attach a high value to ‘.he efforts anil accomplishments of this a .jsociation, on ac count of the new and valuable varieties of fruit it has brought to public notice, and the widespread interest it has awakened and sus tained throughout the country, by its trans actions and exhibitions. It deserves, how ever, still higher commendation for its ear nest and long-continued efforts to introduce among ijrchard'sts and fruit cultivators gener ally. Unly the best, and, consequently, the moat profitable hinds of fruit. It has giveD, year by year, a list of those fruits which after patient trial have been found worthy of gen eral adoption, as well as all the new varieties which bore marks of promise. By this meth od, the labors and watchings and waitings of the individual experimenter have been very materially diminished, anil the fruit culturist of to-day can begin his labors on the orchard with such well tried and reliable varieties as will almost warrant success. The last report of this society contains a revised and improved list of fruits. This has been obtained, or rather made up, from the recommendations of individuals or associa tions scattered over the whole country, so that these testimonies are the matured and deliberate expressions—votes as they have been called—of earnest, practical men. In this way it is almost impossible that anything worthless should receive any respectable sup port; while it is also very certain that every thing that has decided merit will be recog nized and receive strong endorsement. Ail those persons who have ever embarked on the uncertain sea of experiment, will know how to appreciate the services of a skilful guide and pilot. To all such, as well as the large army of beginners that every year brings, we hasten with the recommendation; that tllOW avail tlinmonlnaa n f I a ilinnnt ___S ence, and step at once into this well-defined and beaten track, rather than attempt any longer ways of their own, and ventures that so frequently end in disappointment, no mat ter how promising they may appear. In the list of apples the Bed Astrachan stands first, receiving recommendations from thirty-one states; Maiden’s Blush and Early Harvest only fall one or two behind; while the Fall Pippin, Gravenstein, Early Straw berry, Sweet Bough, Am. Summer Pear main, Summer Rose, Primate, Carolina Red June, Tallman Sweet, Fameuse, Porter and Duchess of Oldenburg descend by successive gradations to the lower plane of twenty votes The Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening and Roxbury Russet, retain their stronghold in New England and the Middle States, and therefore come next in rank; as they are northern varieties, they are not without hon or except when found in the South, or some western localities where they are not so well adapted to the diverse conditions of soil and climate. In the pear department, after an experi ence of a quarter of a century, based upon sundry unprofitable endeavors and divers complete failures, the society re-aflirm with almost the same unanimity that marked the decision of one of the earliest pomological meetings, the selection of the Bartlett and the Seckel as the two varieties above all oth ers worthy of general cultivation; each one receives the votes of thirty-two states. Next in rank, follow the Lawrence, Angoulewe and Anjou; a little lower the Doyenne d’Ete, and then endorsed by from twenty to twenty eight states, are the Diel, Giffard, Superfiu, Bloodgood, Buffam, Dearborn, Boussock, Flemish Beauty, Howell, Louise Bonne de Jersey, Onondaga, Rostiezer, Sheldon, Tv. son and Winter Nelis. Among the cherries, the Early Richmond stands first; receiving commendation in twenty-six states.

The Mammoth Cluster, Philadelphia and Franconia, are recorded first among the raspberries. In the gooseberry list, Houghton’s Seedling ranks first, as it most successfully resists the attack of mildew. For peaches, the preference is given to the Early and Late Crawford.

The Strawberry for the Garden-Plant ing and Afterculture. In my former article speaking of manure for the new bed, I said, “the formulas, say well rotted manure.” I wish to say here that well-rotted manure is generally well spent manure, and I prefer it pretty fresh, worked slightly into the sur face. To recapitulate a little, the plants should be virgin plants of the same year’s growth. Ground from which an early crop has been taken, is the most feasible. It should be highly enriched with good manure or super phosphate of lime, or, what is better, a part of both. The Wilson’s Albany and mjst other kinds will bear a very rich soil and well repay abundant dressing. The last of Au gust or the whole month of September is the best time to plant. The earlier in September the better the first crop. But where plant* are transplanted with balls of earth from a bed not far distant I have con tinued to plant through the month of Octo ber with entire success. The first runners put forth are not so strong as those of later growth. It is best, therefore, to take off the early runners and not root plants till the thick and vigorous shoots come forth. The ground and the plants being ready for each other, the planter is next to determine his distances. If he has but 'little ground, two feet between the rows will do. But if he has ground enough, it is better in all cases to give two feet and a half. For the strong-growing and broad-spreading varie ties, such as the Downer’s Prolific and the Kramer’s Seedling, two and a half are important. For the Jucunda and other moderate growers, one foot between the plants in the rows is sufficient. For the Wil- I son and others of medium growth, fifteen inches is better. The varieties of large growth, as mentioned above should have a foot and a halt. In setting plants not imbedded in balls of earth, care should be used to separate and spread out the roots and imbed them in fine earth. In all cases it is best to pour a small quantity of water around the plaut alter it is set, graduating the quantity to the condi tion of the soil, as wet or dry. In this way strawberries can be planted in a dry time as well as any time. The planting being thus effected, for the first year it is only necessary to destroy weeds and keep the soil light and mellow'. I cultivate my beds mostly with the spading fork, a strong, tempered steel instrument with four flat prongs. Setting this fork mid way between the rows, drive it to the full depth, lift and throughly loosen the earth. Between rows Jwo or two and a half feet apart, this operation disturbs the roots very iittle, il at all. After this motion, plunge the fork lightly next to the rows, breaking the crust, and slightly loosening the compac ted soil without lifting, and immediately around the hill gently break the surface only, lest you wound the roots starting out near the crown and retard the growth and dwarf the plaut. In this process the operator moves backwards before his work, working clean as he goes. A little practice will ena ble him to perform the work with rapidity* and it will be found By no means tediot^. It is not necessary or proper to work around tbe hills with a trowel. It is tedious and in jurious as it destroys roots used for tbe sup port of the plant. If a dandelion of dock is found growing close up to the plant, re move the earth half a foot away apd work cautiously up, laying bare the root of the intruder to a depth sufficient to give room for ja firm grasp and draw it out. It is use less; to cut it off near the surface. In this way the bed should he dressed iu the!spring as soon as the soil is dry enough to work, and as often afterwards as the sur face gets hard to much depth. Iu the inter vals, let the hoe stir the surface and destroy young weeds. I usually work with the fork early in the spring, immediately after the irult is off, and again in early autumn. Heavy rains on a stiff soil may render more frequent culture advisable. All this Is but pastime to an industrious man, and the reward is better than gold; It is health and joy and solace to the wife and children. It is hospitality to your neighbor. Itis succor to the sick and charity and be neftcence to the destitute. W. G. Bath, Sept. 12th. 1874.

The Farmer’s Mhep. mere is pernapa no department of indus try m which a general knowledge of mechan ical work is more necessary than it is on a farm. There is a large amount of repairing and building which must be done, and yet does not require the servkes of a very skilful workman. There is also much that is de sirable to do, but which will not warrant the expense of hiring a regular mechanic to per form. The farmer, therefore, who has a Workshop furnished with the most usefut tools, and possesses skill sufficient to use them, has a decided advantage over one who Uis not. A small break in some implement ofteu causes serious delay, if it must be takeu to a mechanic for repairs, when, if we have the means at hand, we can often make it last through the present emergency, if not per manently repair it. An insignificant break in a horse rake is liable to cause many tons of hay to be damaged, if the team must be stopped to take it two or three miles lor re pairs, when there is hardly a portion of it that a person of ordinary ingenuity could not repair with the propei tools. (I refer, of course to the wooden revolving rake.) The trouble and expense that arise from the loos ening and breaking of mower knife sections is great, unless we have the conveniences foe tightening or replacing them ourselves. Many hours in winter may be profitably spent in the shop in making gates, hay rig ?lings, corn markers, ladders, or whatever ar icles of the kind we may need, and in re pairing implements, furniture, harnesses, etc. There is great difference in the efficacy of different persons in mechanical work, but the most bungling workman can do more with tools than he can without them. The num ber of tools required in a farmer’s shop do pends much upon the skill of the person who is to use them. Some wdl need hardly moro than a dozen, while others would use fifty or more, and some would even profitably em ploy a forge and drilling machine. It is best for an inexperienced person to begin with a tew, and enlarge his collection as he finds it necessary. Besides these tools, Vhe shop should coutain a work-bench, vise, sbaviug horse, pair of saw-benches, iron box and a nail box divided into several compart ments, for the various sizes of nails, screws, bolts, etc. A tool chest it not necessary, as it is qiite as convenient to hang the tools on nails driven in the proper place to hold them. Bits, files, screw-drivers, etc., may be easily provided for by cutting holes through a shelf of the proper size and shape to hold them. It is essential to have a place for each tool, and to keep each tool in its place, so fat as possible, as we frequently need them in a hurry, when it is a sacrifice of both time and temper to hunt tor them. Boys should always be encouraged in the use of tools. There is no way of gaining efficiency except by prac tice, and by beginning young they will be come skillful by the time their services aro really required. They will of course use lumoer ana- nails lor unprofitable purposes, and injure the tools and possibly themselves occasionally; but the experience which they acquire will more thau repay the cost. The farmer at the present time needs to bo something more than a novice in the me chanic arts. He should understand the prin ciples of machinery as well as those of agri cultural science. He should be agoodjudgu of every kind of mechanical work which his calling employs, and be able to make the slight repairs which his implements and ma chinery so constantly need, with neatness and dispatch.—Cor. Country Gentleman. September. In September the farmer begins to receiva returns for months of care and labor. He has hitherto been casting bread upon the waters, and now it returns after many days. His re ward is now in proportion to his faith. If ho has believed in what he has read in theso pages, in the fruits of his own and other’s ex periences, and m the teachings of iutelligenci and common sense, he has not been chary of hard work, constant attention, and generous treatment of his lands and crops; he has fetl his land, and now his fields will feed him in return. Now the farmer learns that out of nothing, nothing comes. If he has put noth ing upou his fields, his crop is poor. If, on the other hand, he has well and intelligently fertilized and worked, he finds in spite of sea sons, that he has barns fuil, and the promise of harvest is surely fulfilled to those who care fully meet the requirements of seed time. Thu better the farmer the better the crops, and thu risks of season and unfavorable weather, bring disaster only to the farmer who neglects the precautions by which he may avoid them. Generally the fall wheat crop has yielded well and hr.s been harvested cheaply and in good coudition. There is a good market for it. Crops in Europe are not over an average, and there are vast deficiencies in stocks to bemadu np. Besides our spring crops will be deficient. Spring wheat is a comparative failure iu many places, aud tne surplus of the fall crop will bo partly needed to meet this deficiency. Oats and corn will be below the average, and hay is short in the West, although plentiful in thu East. Prices, therefore, will be satisfactory ou the whole, if graiu is not sacrificed, and there is no good reason why farmers should hasten to put their grain into the hands of specula tors, that they may hold it for a rise. Thu outlook is favorable to steady prices if uot tu some advance. The agricultural fairs at i now in season. To attend the state aud coun ty fairs should be made a duty as it should b a pleasure. Every farmer should strive to b» a competitor at his local fair. We wi*n there could be premiums offered for the best managed farms here, as there are in Euglaoil, and plowing matches for farmers’ boy. Com petition induces stuiy as well as work, and it is thought and study that we want. No farm er in the world works harder or more stead!!/ than an American farmer, or has fewer idlj days. But with the increase of machinery and the need of better farming, more stud f and knowledge are needed.—American Aijri• culturist. _ llow to Preserve Brick Werk. The exclusion of damp from brickwork hs* long been an important problem. One of tla most effective methods of accomplishing th s object is the following: Three-quarters of a pound of mottled soap are dissolved in on i gallon of boiling water, and the hot solutio t spread steadily with a Hat brush over ti a outer surface of the brickwork, care bein' taken that it does uot lather; this is allows 1 to dry for twenty-tour hours; when a solu tion, formed of a quarter of a pound of alui i dissolved in two gallons of water, is applied in a similar manner over the coating ot soap. The soap and alum form an insoluble varuis/-, which the rain is unable to penetrate, au 1 this cause ot dampness is thus said to be e lectually removed. The operation should byperformed in dry, settled weather. Another method is to use eight parts of lin seed oil and one part of sulphur, heated to gether to 278, in an iron vessel.

THE PRESS. MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 21. 1874 Every regular attache of the Press is furnished with a Card certificate countersigned by Stanley T. Pullen, Editor. All railway, steamboat and hotel manageis will center a favor upon us by demanding credentials of every person claiming to represent our loumal, as we have information that several “bum mers’* are seeking courtesies in the name of the Press, and we have no disposition to be, even pas dvely, a party to such frauds. We do not read anonymous letters and communi cations. The name and address of the writer are in all cases indisi»ensable, not necessarily for publication ut as a guaranty of good faith. We cannot undertake to return or reserve com munications that are not used. The Proposed Veteran Association. The meeting of the various associations of Maine Veterans which have been held this sun' and-fall appear to have been more nu is and interesting than ever before, 'ad to see that at the reunion of the Regiment Association at Norway, ne ot. 'ay, preliminary ste"" towara ding a veteran; me organiza tion to w i they belonged. This project ought to \rried out. Besides the social enjoyment 'ch would result from such a meeting, th \re certain matters touching the fame of war regiments and the com fort and hapi s of their surviving mem bers that migl ell engage the attention of such a general organization. Full justice has never been done Maine’s war record, and the proposed veteran associ ation could not do better than to select some competent person to compile a succinct hut comprehensive account of the deeds of Maine _1 J! sL. TV, A aS.Sa ™V.aV, fifty-three thousand men into the service, ex clusive of those in the navy and regular army, and which contributed so many sol diers to the quota of other states, as to make her aggregate number greater in proportion to her population than any other state in the Union—the state whose troops never lost a flag and whose sons fell on every field, even from the Baltimore riot of April 19,1861 to the final struggles in Vir ginia—ought to preserve with sacred care the fame and glory of her soldiery. Nothing, to be sure, can be better fitted for this purpose than those wonderful reports of Adjutant General Hodsdon, which, in a few more de cades, will be held among their most highly prized treasures by their fortunate possessors. But the volumes of the report are so numer ous, cumbrous and at the same time scarce that they must be regarded rather as reposi tories of facts and authorities for reference than as a means of keeping alive a popular appreciation of the valor of our soldiers. Be sides these reports there are the various regi mental histories and the volume called “Maine in the War,” by Messrs. Whitman and True, hastily compiled a few weeks after the close of hostilities. Of the former we be lieve there are now but four, viz.: The First Maine Cavalry,by Chaplain S. H. Merrill; the Seventeenth Maine, by Major Edwin B. Houghton; the Fifth Maine by Rev. Geo. W. Bicknel) and the l-10-29th Regiment by Ma jor J. M. Gould. Of these histories but lim ited editions are printed and copies of two earlier ones, at least, are already exhausted. In a few years they will be hoarded by the survivors of the regiments whose stories they give and by curious collectors. There are of course few private libraries that could aspire to contain them all with those which in time will follow. All of them are excellent for the purpose for which they are designed, but what is wanted for popular reading is a compact and racy story told in one inexpensive vol ume and written by some soldier like Gen. Connor or Gen. Chamberlain, who have liter ary ability of a high order as well as a glorious military record, or Major Gould who made so entertaining a story of his regimental history. A still more important subject for ths con sideration of the association would be the general care for veterans who have fallen into destitution and an appeal to the state in their behalf. These men are just saved, by the allowance at present made them by the state, from absolute pauperism. Though time may dull in some degree the keenness of the gratitude that was felt at the clese of mo lrdi tuwam tuuse wuu uau savea me Republic, we cannot believe that Maine wil1 ever turn a deaf ear to representation In behalf of her suffering veterans. But it seems that already an appeal is necessary to obtain what ought to be voluntarily offered.. The annual exhibition of the Maine Agri cultural Society begins Tuesday at Lewiston, and will continue until Friday night. Half fares or one fare for the round trip is adver tised by the Maine Central, whose trains are arranged with the special view of accommo dating those who desire to attend the exhibi tion. The following is the programme lor Tuesday Meetings of the Marshals and Superinten dents at President’s headquarters at 8 o’clock, when the gates will be open for visitors. At 10J, opening address by the President of the Society, Hon. Rufus Prince. Meeting of Society and Judges at same place, when instructions will be given. 11 a. m.—Exhibition of stock in rings,to con tinue throughout the day. At 11£ the track will be opened to exhibitors for general driving. At 3 p. m.—Purse $200—For horses that have never beaten three minutes, mile heats 2 in 3 to harness.

A Washington special says that promi nent gentlemen, just from Hew Orleans,state that the Associated Press reports from that city during the last two weeks, give no ade quate conception of the condition of affairs in Louisiana. As soon as the McEnery movement was successful, a rigid press, tele graph and news censorship was established, which was maintained until Wednesday night. The fact is there has been a reign of terror and blood in that city. The same par ties further state that the opinion of the Gulf States, through which they passed, is so hos tile to the federal government that there are men who even propose to stop the transit of United States troops over Southern terri tory. _ Senator Carpenter vigorously repels the argument that by the granting of charters states enter into a contract with railroads, by which the railroads are authorized to fix their own rates—contracts, the violation of which is forbidden by the constitution. Mr. Car penter assumes it to be a fatal fallacy that corporations have natural and indestructible rights like individuals, and contends that as railroads can only be built by invoking the right ot eminent domain they are public high ways, the property of the state operated by the companies as agents, and subject to legis lative control. The wheat growers of the central states, in the light of a two months’ drought, are beginning to see the advantages and necessity of a thorough scientific system of irrigation, and the unreliable nature of a system in which the farmer sows the seed and then trusts to luck for water. Iu Utah and Col orado, where the farmer controls irrigation by the regulation of sluices, the average yield of wheat per acre is much greater than in the best growing wheat states of the Mississippi, and lar surer. Already Colorado flour is regularly selling in the markets. Elsewhere will be found the shocking details of a scene of terror and horror at Fall Kiver on Saturday, for which no battle field can furnish a pareliel. Now that a hundred human beings are are laying dead or frightfully mangled or maimed, preventions for such occurrences will be suggested in any number. These cannot bring to life the dead or restore the crippled. Of course, the dread ful affair will be investigated, but will any measures be taken to prevent a re-occurrence next month or next year? There is a rumor that the Republican membeis elect to the Legislature don’t pledge worth a cent, and that the gentlemen who began this work at sunrise Tuesday morning find that fifty or sixty ot our future law mak ers are the most reticent of men. Keep on, gentlemen, being reticent, because hundreds of hastily pledged men have in the past bit terly repented their haste. Current Notes. The Atlanta (Georgia) News says that “our only hope is in a stern, resolute resist ance—a resistance to the death, if necessary, with arms in our hands. Let there be White Leagues formed in every town, village and hamlet of the South, and let us organize for the great struggle which seems inevitable. If the October elections which are to be held In the North are favorable to the Radicals the time will have arrived for us to prepare for the worst. The radicalism of the Repub lican party must be met by the radicalism of white men.” The Louisville Jeffersonian says: “White men of all parties, and every grade of relig 5—as or moral conviction, may as well come fitly to the consideration how to get the negro out of politics with the least confusion and cost. He must go, and there is no profit in standing long upon the order of his go ing.” They (the Democrats) had a mass meeting in St. Louis and expressed the utmost en thusiasm over the uprising in New Orleans. R. J. P. Garesche, a lawyer, was particularly heated, and demanded that the canines of war be at once unleashed. “Damned be he” shrieked Garesche. “who first cries ‘hold! enough!’ Give Garesche some raw meat.— (Chicago Inter-Ocean. There is a fierce fight among the Demo crats in the third Indiana congressional dis trict. M. B.

The candidate of the Democrats of New York for Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Dors heimer, was a Republican, wanted a foreign mission, didn’t get it, and so scented Into the Democratic party,after tarrying awhile in the barren fields of Greeleyism. Whenever you hear any man say he is in favor of an issue of greenbacks, spot him. The decision of the Supreme Court is to the effect that Congress has no power to issue greenbacks in time of peace. If an infla tionist knows this,he is trying to cheat some body by speaking in favor of a policy which he knows can never be put in practice; if he don’t know it, he is talking of a subject he don’t understand.—[Springfield (111.) Regis ter. The Boston Journal says that Speaker Blaine has gone to Oshkosh, Wis., to deliver a lecture on municipal taxation. The New York Herald says the Democrat ic party of that state “has perpetrated an enormous mistake in nominating Mr. Tilden as its candidate for governor.” It adds: “He is the weakest candidate the Democratic par ty could have presented for the suffrages of the people.” The New York Tribune's Syracuse corres pondent has a pleasant mention of the ora tory at the Democratic State Convention, adding: “The speeches were open to but a single objection, and that was, they were for the most part the most abject nonsense ever mouthed by a statesman of the time. A Remarkable Occurrence.—The Phila delphia Bulletin states that an extraordinary accident occurred at Conshohocken a few days ago. The town is supplied with water pumped from the Schuylkill river into a reservoir placed upon a hill. The oost of the works was $75, 000. The keeper of the gate reports that on Monday night the reservoir was in good condi tion, and apparently capable of remaining so for several centuries to come. On Tuesday morning he discovered that a very remarkable accident had occurred. Part of the southern embankment had sunk out of sight, leaving a hole about thirty feet iu diameter, and as the wall of the reservoir hak disappeared the wa ter had vanished with it, with the exception of about one and a half feet in depth. Inspec tion showed that part of the embankment had dropped straight downward about twenty-five feet, and upon backing into the hole the top of the bank with the fence and the sod was dis covered at the bottom. The side of the vast hole contained a huge precipitous rock, down the side of which the earth had slipped. But most reuiaraaoie inmg anout tne accident was that no water could be found in the hole. There were more than one million gallons in iu the reservoir at the time, and almost the whole of this had disappeared utterly. What became of this vast body of water nobody knows. As the region is of limestone forrac tion, it is conjectured that the country is un derlaid with great caves, into one of which the water of the reservoir has disappeared. Evi dence of the existence of such caves has been observed at different times in the past. Kellogg’s Administration.—Governor Kel logg’s administration of the state government has been, remarkably judicious. Louisiana is not likely to have a better Governor very soon. All representations to the contrary are destitute of good warrant. His influence has been used to suppress wrong practices, guard the state treasury, and promote justice among the people. Under his administration the offensive features of the Warinouth election laws have been re pealed, the taxes have been reduced, and measures have been taken to reduce the state debt. He has sought to conciliate the opposi tion and make his administration friendly to all classes of the people. If, as we believe, there have been thieveries and other rascalities iu Louisiana, he has had no part in them; his administration is not responsible for them. It is legitimate to curse the Warinouth adminis tration, on account of its sins; but it is villain ous to impute these sins to the administration of Governor Kellogg. He has furnished no excuse for the While League revolution at Xew Orleans; and its only purpose is to do by means of violence what the Democratic party in that state can not do by means of votes. It is the White League method of conducting an elec tion canvass. If it could be successful, Louisi ana would be ruled by a military despotism, Republicans of every sort would be killed, sub jugated, or driven away, the only political freedom tolerated would be freedom to vote the Democratic ticket, and the White League con spirators in other states would be stimulated to extend their operations and become revolution ists as well as assassins.—Worcester Spy. A Portland Runner.—A Waterville cor respondent sends us a story about Kendall’s Mills, which we think is just a bit tinged with the jealousy which exists between that thriving village and Waterville. We give it in the words of the writer: “A good story is told of Major C-of Ken dall s Mills. At the time the safe of Savage Bros, was robbed, about three weeks since, there was considerable excitement on the street in the morning, and a great manv rumors afloat. A stranger was sitting on the piazza of the hotel, and to the excited imagination of Major C-the burden of proof devolved upon that stranger to show his innocence. So the Major walked up to him and told him about the robbery of the safe, and that he must show who he was and what his business there was. He gave his name and place of residence, and the time of his arrival, and the room he occu pied, but that was not sufficient. ‘I demand,’ said the Major, ‘to know what you are here for?’ ‘Well,’ said the stranger, complacently ‘I murdered a man and was sentenced to prison for ten years, or stand three weeks in Kendall’s Mills, and I came here to serve my seitence, but 1 am very sorry I had not gone to prison Upon subsequent investigation the stranger proved to be a Portland runner.” Obituary.-Arthur Drinkwater died on Wednesday, Sept, lfi, at his late residence in Waterville, where he had passed several years in the retirement of quiet and infirm old age. He had been a man of mark, both as a popu lar preacher and pastor, and as a wise counsel lor in the general and educational interests of the Baptist denomination in this state. He was many years au efficient member of the Board of Trustees of Waterville College, (Col by University,) and at one time was the suc cessful solicitor of funds for its endowwent, both in Maine and the Provinces. He served an honored pastorate of twelve years in Dan vers, Mass., but spent most of his life in Hal lowell, Mount Vernon, Skowhegan and other churches of the Bowdoinham and Kennebec Associations of this state. Castine Normal School.—The fall term of the Eastern Normal School has an attendance of one hundred and twenty pupils—the largest number ever registered during a fall term, dur ingthe existence of the school. Mr. Fletcher isa most successful instructor, and the school is doing a great work for the public schools of that section. Col. Meacham at North Conway. Nobth Conway, Sept. 19,1874. Thursday evening our citizens had the pleas ure of listening to Col. Meacham, chairman of the Peace Commission, on the “Modoc Cam paign”. A special train took two well-filled cars from Fryeburg, and with our own citizens the Baptist church was filled to overflowing. Col. Meacham has spent nearly thirty years on the Pacific coast and his thorough knowledge of the whole Indian question coupled with his candor, and the account of his marvelous es cape from the terrible massacre gave a pain fully thrilling interest to his story. Notwith standing the fact that he received seven bullets in his body and was left for dead by the In dians, with his scalp partly removed, he is not the man to do injustice to the Bed man. The history of the Modoc tribe was given—their several removals from place to place—and their rough and unfair treatment by army offi cers and whiskey venders. The Colonel is an earnest and effective speaker, and his account of the tragedy immediately enlisted the heart iest sympathy of the whole audience. The closing scenes of this tragic affair, related in a calm subdued voice wrought the house to the highest pitch of excitement. If such men as Col. Meacham could manage this matter and full justice ne done the Indians, we believe our troubles on this score would be greatly abated. Col. Meacham very generously gave the pro ceeds of this lecture (which we learn were quite a handsome sum) to the “Village Improvement Association,” whose object is to improve and adorn the streets of the village and the many roads and resorts abounding in the vicinity. Col. H. W. Bipley, a native of this valley, is earnestly at work here in the temperance cause, arranging for a mass meeting at an early day, with Col. Meacham, Dr. Dio Lewis and other distinguished gentlemen for speak ers. Miss H. E. Haskins of Boston read with great acceptance this week, to the guests of the Kiarsage.

Whatever may occasion the use of the ordi nary stimulants (spirituous Jiquors), when continued for any length of time they are in many instances followed by deplorable results, especially when taken by the weak, the nervous, aud the sickly. But not withstanding their injuiious effects, intoxicants are treely prescribed by physicians and friends. A gre^t want exists for a RESTORATIVE STIMULANT Free from these serious objections, yet palatable, even inviting, to the sensative palate, which will cre ate no morbid appetite tor itself, and operate as an assistant to digestion, as well as jierlorm the func tions of a stimulant. Such we confidently believe is to be lound in SANFORD’S JAMAICA GINGER, An elegant combination of the True Jamaica Gin ger with the choicest Aromatics. It is beyond all comparison the most healthy, invigorating tonic and stimulant before the public. It is earnestly recom mended to the weak aud nervous, to those recovering from debilitating diseases and to the aged, to whom it imparts warmth aLd vigor. It is invaluable to the INTEMPERATE In assisting them to overcome a morbid appetite for intoxicants. Taken by one of confirmed habit, it will allay thirst, generate a healthy flow ot gastric juices, thereby furnishing the proper solvent ior food, and permit, by taking the 'place of intoxicants, and assist by its renovating action on the system, the complete restoration ot the appetite, health and strength.

SATURDAY.—In the case ot State vs. Jonathan Watson, for arson, which has been on trial for the past week, Judge Symonds received au affidavit from I>r. Gilman stating that George Sawyer of Deering the juror who was taken sick on Friday morning, was yet very sick with bilious colic, and that in his opinion he would not be able to attend court for five days at least. Judge Symonds thereupon ordered the sheriff to discharge the jury.

ShJIDAV SKUVIt ES, INDIA STREET. Prof. O. S. Fowler lectured at India Street od and immortality. He avowed that man is reated a moral and a religious being by having iborn religious organs, so that he can no more jase to be religious than to love, eat, remem er, etc. That to guide and instruct this reli ious nature is the one great labor of moralists; rat religion is one of the demonstrative aud sact sciences, because all that is, man’s moral ature included, is governed by natural laws, id thereby rendered scientific; so that as far i all are in religious truth they will believe idactalike; that all religious differences prove low existing religious plane; that these mor organs are ou the ton of man’s head, id therefore his controlling faculties, and jnce all persons, communities aud nations •e what their religion makes them, while a iligious “conversion” works the greatest con iivable change of conduct and soul; that a rung religion is like poison in the blood, liich none can at all afford; that man’s uisoning and intellectual organs are located long side of his religious, signifying that all lould think for themselves, aud each soul be ,s own priest and prophet; that the cen ral organ of this moral group worships rod, therefore a God exists; that when yer we find any one thing in Nature dapted to any other, this other always Iso exists. That as a half oyster shell adapted its missing half proves the creation of this icond half, every eye and tooth socket proves i eye aud tooth, every knee-pan a knee &c., i the creation in man of a Craator adoring ement is proof demonstrative that.a great Cre or exists to receive this adoration of His eatures; that all by being created with this oring faculty, are thereby commanded to all down and worship” Him; that worship is in’s greatest luxury, as well as first duty; it all our enjoyments come from the action of faculties,so that this, certainly our highest, Ids our greatest good; that its deficiency is as great a deficit and disgrace as want of sense, and that there is religious idiocy, as well as in tellectual. A New Chukch.—The members of Pine Street M. E. Churcn and congregation are en thusiastic over the prospect of having larger and better accommodations for divine worship in a new edifice on the site of the old one. Quite an amount has already been subscribed" and to elicit new and greater interest, and to swell these subscriptions there is to be a social gathering under the auspices of the ladies cir cle in the vestry of the church, Wednesday af' ternoon and evening, Sept. 23. A free lunch and a plenty of it will be served at a suitable hour, and then the people will repair to the au dience room above where speeches will be made by several of the former pastors and the sub scription books presented. It is ardently hoped sufficient will be raised to commence building early in the spring of 1875. The trustees re quire only fifteen thousand dollars of available funds before breaking ground, and with a com mendable zeal and energy it can soon and early be done. Personal. Many of our readers will be glad to hear that Mr. Samuel Thurston, who was so badly injured by the breaking; of the ladder at the American House fire, is doing nicely and is far on the way toward recovery. Mr. Mitchell, the other firemau so badly ijnured, has oso far recovered as to have been out of doors. Among the speakers announced for the wo man suffrage convention at Old Orchard, to occur to-morrow, are Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell and other well known champions of the cause. Homological Exhibition.—The second au nual exhibition of tbe State Bornological So ciety, which opens in this city to-morrow promises to be of unusual interest, becauso of ihe fine display of fruit which will ho present ed, and the premiums offered.

MASSACHUSETTS. TERRIBLE! Burning of a Cotton Mill at Fall Biyer. Twenty Yictim§ Lose their Tires. 36 Maimed and Mangled. Full Particulars ol the Terrible Catastrophe. Boston, Sept. 19.—The following is the full account of the Fall Biver fire from the Boston Journal special: Mills No. 1 and No. 2 of granite had been running about twenty minutes when operatives in No. 1, which is an old mill built in 1863 and is situated on 12th street with ends on Pleasant and Bedford streets, were startled with a cry of fire and escape of smoke from the fourth story. Id this, next to the upper room, which was the mule warp spinning department, there were nearly a hnudred girls at work under a male overseer. On the upper floor, the fifth, about tweuty-tive or thirty girls were employed spooling, warping and slashing, and there were iiic ui nil me operatives. >v ltu. toe alarm, flames seemed to leap up to this att coming from-the windows below,and toterror of all, up the great tower in the centre of the building, in which were all the stairs commu nicating with each story. The fire caught as seated in the mule spin ning room in the northwest end of the mill and it is stated from friction in a mule head at once igniting the oil waste about it, and spreading by means of oii on the floor and about each piece of machinery directly aud with great quickness toward the centre tower, the ouly source "of escape for those on the fourth and fifth stories besides the fire escapes two on the sides of each gable end. As it rushed over the flooring it instantly found sub sistance in wood work,aud once getting into the tower ran up to and through the single en trance to the fifth story, then springing to the roof timbers aud filling two fireat rooms, 450x 95 feet, with dense black smoke and flame. While the flames were making such terrible headway, the operatives became fairly wild. The overseers at a glance saw that there was no way possible to check the fire and gave their whole attention to those over whom they had charge at work. They called to them to save themselves and pointed out ways of es cape. These were principally fire ladders, for the timid creatures dared not run the fire gauntlet of the Jower. The overseer of the spooling room, who him self remained till he had nearly suffocated in smoke, states that the scene in his room and it must have been worse in that next|below stairs, Cannot be Depicted. Children ran about without any knowledge of what they were doing, crying and begging piteously to be saved, yet wrenching them selves away when taken forcibly and carried to the tower while yet there was some chance or to the iron ladder to the two scuttle windows of the south end which opened upon the roof balcony at the beadi of 19th street fire ladders. It was impossible to get a great majority to take even this method in order to save their lives. Some wanted clothing aud from others this or that thiug, they knew not what. As the fire frightened them away from their deliberations at the foot of the roof ladders they rushed to the windows at the south gable end. They were nearly 69 feet from the ground and dared not jump. Cotton ropes were put out for them to slide down by aud some took this means, but in the effort several met with death or iejnry to body and limbs, for hardly would a rope be lowered before others would try to get on from the story below and this would cause a snapping of the strands and the parting of the rope sending all down together. While such scenes were being enacted here similar ones were going on in the mule spin ning room. The names had asceuded with the quickness of thought and with like rapidi ty did they work for the entrance of the tower to the fourth floor where the filling spinning was done, thereby cutting off this means of es cape; but they bad the two ladders of the south gable directly before them, and were urged by the overseers and populace on tbe ground be low to take them. Some did and others rushed upon the balconies aod like mad girls dropped with hardly a look at the iron ladders. There was plenty of time for every human being to have saved itself had the right course in each instance been observed, and it is not from the la«k of direction that the girls lost their lives. The superintendent, as soon as the alarm was given, rushed to the upper story and with the overseers did all that was possible. tWhen the means provided in construction of the mill were rendered unavailable through the heat, dames and smoke, the people on the ground provided beds and matresses for the poor un fortunates to jump upon, and many did throw themselves from windows and in almost every iustance receive fatal or severe injuries, for the distance was nearly fifty feet to the pave ment. The Greatest Consternation was felt by people on the streets, who had as sembled in immense numbers, and their cries and acts did not help greatly to compose the mule hands, but the disciplined firemeu and policemen arrived in sufficient numbers worked wiih a w.ll and to advantage. The firemen in every way worked to stop the spread of the fire and especial ly to keep it out of the southend, whither the operatives had tied.Ladders as long a« they had at command were used. In their efforts to rescue the girls, some very brave acts were performed, and it is said that several firemen, the number is given as four, gave their lives in their human endeavor. Brave Acta. A brave act was that of the superintendent and other officers of the corporation, who went to the upper stories aud, by word and example, told the people how to save themselves. But a braver one is related of a fireman who was lowered from the roof by a brother fireman into the building aud remained so long trying to drive the last ones forth that he had to be let go by those who had hold of his rope. They had held to bis line as long as they could stop, and, nearly suffocated, were driven down. Jlis only way to escape was by a window at the gable end, but be doubtless bad worked so long in the thick smoke for others that be could not aid himself. Scenes Near By. Morgues and hospitals were speedily impro vised. Mission cha|iel, near by, was taken for one of the latter, aud as fast as one would be picked from under the window of the mill, stretchers were ready to carry her to either the chapel or central station. At this latter place Twenty-five Bead Bodies were laying, and other unfortunates had been taken to other stations or to homes. In a num ber of instances bodies were not recognized, partly from the fact that they were so dis figured, begrimed and dirt covered, and partly from the fact that their friends or relatives were looking elsewhere. In the Mission chapel were those whose suf ferings were intense. The injuries were vari ous, but of course largely to the limbs of the individual. Every physician iu the city was sununoueu at tlie earnest moment, aim ex hibited the greatest solicitude fof the sufferers. Some remained at the church, others accom panied ambulances to this or that place, while the others worked without cessation at the chapel. So much of nursery has not been koown in these parts prior to this, and every body is moved to do all that is needed. Forty Stilled is not too high, and the ratio of casualties, besides those to firemen and police, as might be expected in such a calamity, about two to one. The extent of the fire is not so great as might, under the circumstances, been expected. Tlie fire was under control shortly before half past 8 o’clock. Then the entire roof had not fallen, nor the wall crumbled much below the eaves of the north side. The fire, as alluded to, was kept almost wholly out of the soutl] end, or that part south of the tower, and so a portion of the fifth and fourth floors was left. North of tlie tower the destruction was greater The roof iu that section fell in aud took with il the tops of the gable end wall, anil carrying away a portiou of tho fifth flooring with it crumbled so lie of the side walls aud crashec through to the third story, thus leaving warn the carding and the second weaving floors The granite mills have been for some time and were running full capacity which is 5001 pieces of print cloth per week, and it is sup posed that a considerable stock is ruined eithe by fire or water and smoke. A large amoun of machinery is also rendered useless, most, however, that in the two upper stories, hut tin most expensive is still good, and tho engine; aud boilers are uninjured. The insurance, it is therefore expected, wil cover all loss to property. When the fire was seen and understood b; the manager of the Merchants mill,orders wert issued to suspend the foreuoon work, aud tin people thus released were marshaled by theii overseers to go aud do what good they could fo the poor girls iu the Granite mills, and theii services were appreciated. It is reported that the walls of mill No.: will have to come down as the heat was si great that the granite, of which the buildinj was coostructed, had cracked and become soft Tlie following are the dead aud wounded as fai as ascertained: Miming.

The insur ance agents have viewed the rums and esti mate the loss at sixty per cent, of the amount insured. They estimate the value of that por tion not burned at $157,100. i V*v?utL 8evea o’clock the alarm was struck, but the firemen were unable to get the ^correct location. Some ten minutes elapsed before the department discovered the location, during which time the fire spread with such rapidity that the flames were pouiing out of the fourth aud fifth story windows of the mill aud of the tower, where the only stairway was located, accompanied by dense clouds of smoke. The second and third alarm was given, calling out the entile department. i The stairway beiug cut off, the terror stricken operatives were driven into tha south end of the mill by the fresh north wind forcing the smoke that way. The fire escapes ou each side of the mill were cut off, and no means of escape aside from the elevator, of which they did not avail themselves, but in their fright leaped from the fifth aud sixth story windows to al most certain death. Beds were brought and held for them to jump ou. By this means some escaped death, aud others struck upon the ladders and were instantly killed or fearfully injured. Tbe screams of the women and chil dren who had friends there, as the poor crea tures leaped from the windows, was heart reading aud beggars description. Origin of the Fire. The fire originated in the mule room from a heated mu^e head in charge of a lad named Samuel Young, who made his escape. Every effort was made by the spinners to subdue tLo flames before the alarm wrs given. Many of the women aud girls were so terror stricken that their limbs Were almost useless. Some were praying, others lamenting, aud others stood in mute agony watching with crazed the efforts of one brave man who, re gardless of his own safety, by a rope landed upon terra firma a number of girls in safety. One man escaped through the saylight to the roof, ^od with a rope lowered himself in safety. Others tried to follow, but were suffocated and fell back into the burning building. anoiner Account* Julia Coffee states that she first heard the alarm of fire at the same iustaut heavy col umns of smoke burst through the spool room door. A crowd of little children surrounded the overseer and with him rushed for the stair case, hut were forced hack by the flames. Then all made for the elevator, but it would not work. At this junction the leaping from the windows commenced. A number of men in this room commenc i uncoiliug a long rope to let the terror stricken operatives to the ground. Several were landed safely by this rope, when it was burned off about 25 feet from the grou rid. The smoke had become so dense that those who remained crowded the windows for air, some leaping head foremost, their brains flyiug many feet. Others suffocat ed, fell back and perished in the flames. John N. Bosworth, a fireman, having gained the roof with true firemen’s bravery, told a woman if she would hold fast to him he would land her iu safety by means of a rope which he accomplished, aud in the same mauner res cued a boy. Many of the bodies are burned beyond recognition. The Granite mills were incorporated in 1803 with a capital of $4,000,000,aud employed about 450 males and femaies iuthe No. 1 mill. Telegrams were received from Gov. Talbot and the Mayors of Boston, Lawrence and other points offering assistance in any form desired and expressing their hearty sympathy with those in affliction. A coroner’s jury has been summoned, con sisting of Daniel Stillwell, Chester W. Greene, Earl P. Bowen, Job B. French, Chas. Alway aud Chas. H. Dean, to thoroughly investigate the sad catastrophe. They will meet on Mon day. The citizens demand this: humanity will sanction it and justice to the relatives and friends of the sufferers requires it. List of Casualties.

The opening session of the coroner jury will be held at the court house at 9 o’clock to mor row morning iu charge of Coroner A. M. W. White. There has been an increased interest mani fested to-day over the great calamity of yester day. The streets leading to the roius have been thronged since early morning, and thous ands of citizens and strangers visited the scene of sad catastrophe, which was guarded and no one was admitted within the enclosure. As a larger portion of the poor victims occupied houses belonging to the corporation and in the vicinity of the mill, this portion of the city dur ing preparations for funerals has indeed pre sented a wonderful sight, as many as six|hears es being counted on one street a a time. The total number killed and since died is 23; wounded 31; of which it is feared a number will die. Preparations will be made immedi ately to rebuild. Gen. Butler Again* Saturday night Gen. Butler made a second address to the voters of Essex. He said if he was not elected another watch dog would be re moved from the tower of right. He opposed the reciprocity treaty as a death blow to Amer ican ship building, and the civil service reform because it would debar the poor soldier from occupation tnd give it to the book learned. He had a large audience. WASHINGTON. Alabama Claims.

Obstructive Storm in Iowa. Chicago, Sept 1!).— Despatches from|Daven port aud Dubuque, Iowa, aud Kock Islaud, 111., give accounts of a terrible storm of rain aud wind in those localities last evening, by which a groat amount of property was destroyed and at all these places, housestwerej unroofed, walls blown down, and fences scattered, while the cellars aud basements were filled with water. The whole surrounding country was 1 flooded. At Rock Island, the First Presbyter ian church was nearly destroyed, a portion of the roof being lifted up and dropped through into the basement, carrying with it the organ, pulpit aud floor, and upon these a great portion of walls fell, It is impossible to estimate the amount of damage, but it will ho many thou sands of dollars. During the storm a freight train on the Ill inois Central Railroad when three miles west of Duluth, ran into a break caused by the flood. The engine was completely wrecked and the engineer, Audrews, aud fireman, Orton, and a brakeman named Allison, were buried beneath the ruins. They were fatally injured. HlETfiOBOLIIGICAL.

New Orleans, Sept. 19.—Governor Kellogg and such other state officers as are now in the city went down to the State House at 10 o’clock to-day, aud the military authorities formally delivered the building to them and furnished a military guard. The Secretary of State, Speaker of the House, Lieutenant Governor aud Attorney General are somewhere in the North, aud it is understood that Governor Kellogg has tele graphed for them to come back at once. He bas also telegraphed to the members of Con gress, who are all abroad from the state except Congressman Smith, requesting them to return at once to their respective constituencies. Governor Kellogg yesterday seut the follow ing to Congressman Sypher and Senator West: “I see by the Western papers that you have severely criticired my leaving the State House. 1 left it on Monday at the earnest solicitation of all our friends, (he Lieut. Governor and the Speaker of .he House being absent from the state. An accident to me they felt would have made the complications desperate. There were none but colored militia ill the state house, aud had they made any resistance they would have been burned out and massacred, the building being eutire iudefensible. If our friends will come here aud help us we will be very glad.” Probable Outrage. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 20.—A report reached this city this afternoon that about 400 negroes under the leadership of a negro named Tenant intended to make au attack on the whites near Biesea store in Edgefield county, S. C., about 13 miles from Augusta. It was reported some unknown parties fired into the house of Tenant last night aud that be intended to retaliate on the whites who assembled to resin the assault. A courier arrived here with a note from a prominent white citizen of Edgefield asking assistance. A party was organized and was on the eve of starting when another courier arrived bringing the information that Tenant had been arrested by the civil authorities, the negroes had dispersed aud all was quiet. POLITICAL. Senator Morton on Reconstruction. Indianapolis, Sept. 19.—Senator Morton addressed an immense andience at the Masonic Hall last night, upon “The Past and Preseut.” He spoke earnestly and calmly and his re marks were frequestly applauded. He opened by contradicting the assertion that reconstruc tion was a failure, claiming that the apparent failure was due to the conduct of its enemies and not because of intrinsic defects in toe sys tem. Resistance to reconstruction grows out of opposition to the abolition of slavery aud the elevation of the negro to civil and political rights. He condemned the White Leagues, which, he said, have but a single principle— that the white men should rule. In the ma jority of the Southern States there has been a high carnival of ciime for the past two months but a small portion of which is made known to the Northern public. The news agents of the South are, with few exceptions, “Democaats and sympathizers with these crimes, aud some times participants.” If they have news of larger massacres th3y accompany it with apol ogies and justifications. Tue telegraph is load ed with reports that the negroes are conspiring and the whites are on the defensive, but when the facts are known it turns out that only the white Republicans are killed. All the negroes ask is to be let alone. They know that they eaunot cope with the whites in any struggle with arms. The calumnies ate made pretexts for assassinations throughout the South. It is not a war of races, but a war against the Re publicans of the South, white aud black, not from any apprehension of social equality or fear of the civil rights bill, but to make this a white government and reduce the negroes as nearly as possible to slaves. He reviewed the condition of Louisiana for the past eight years, during which time he said that state had been made a vast slaughter house. The effort to defeat Kellogg in 1872, he characterized as a gigantic fraud. 'He referred t the Senate Louisiana investigating commit tie’s report upon that matter, as showing the frauds perpetra'ed by the McEuery party to se cure his election. He said t hat the Supreme Court hat repeatedly deci ded that the Kellogg government was the lawful government; that the President in five different ways had recog nized it; the House of Representatives had recognized|it by admitting a member ou Kel logg’s certificate, the Seuate did so by refusing to pass the bill for a new election. He said further that if the people of Louisiana would not have their state blighted they must stop the murder business. The seizure of the state by the McEuery faction was in the nature ot a Mexican pronunciamento. If it is tolerated in one state it will be adopted by another. There is but one salvation for the South—the recog nition of the equal civil and political rights of the colored people, aud the protection of life lor all oniuions and for all parties.

POETRY. i'he Romance of a Rose. BY NORA II PERRY, It is nearly a hundred years ago. Since tho dav that Count de Rocnambeau— Our ally against the British crown— Met Washington in Newport town. *Twas tho month of March, and the air wa6 chill, But bareheaded over Aquidueck hill, Guest aud host they took their way, While on either side was the grand array Of a gallant army, French and fine, Ranged three deep in a glitteiing line; And the French fleet sent a welcome roar, Of ahuuderd guns from Canonicut shore. Aud the bells rang out from every steeple, Aud from street to street the Newport people Followed aud cheered, with a hearty zest, l)d Kochambcau and his honored guest. And women out of the windows leant, And out of the windows smiled and seut Many a coy, admirmg glance To the fine young officers of Franco. And the story goes, that the belle of the town Kissed a rose and flung it down Straight at the feet of I)e Kocbambeau; And the gallant marshal, bending low, Lifted it np with a Frenchman’s grace, And kissed it back with a glance at tho face Of the daring maiden where she stood, Blushing out of her silken hood. That night at the ball, still the story goes, The Marshal of France wore a faded rose In his gold-laced coat; but he looked in vain For the giver’s beautiful face again. Night aftor night, and day after day, The Frenchman eagerly sought, they say, At feast, or at church, or along tho street, For the girl who flung her roBe at his feet. And she, night after night, day after day, Was speeding farther and farther away From the fatal window, the fatal street, Where her nassiouate heart had suddenly heat A throb too much for the cool control A Puritan teacher to heart and soul; A throb too much for the wrathful eyes Of one who had watched in dismayed surprise From the street below; and taking the gauge Of a woman’s heart in that moment’s rage, He swore, this old colonial squire. That before the daylight should expire, This daughter of his, with her wit and grace, And her dangerous heart and her beautiful dice, Should be on her way to a sure retreat, Whore no rose of hers could fall at the feet Of a curs&d Frenchman, high or low. And so while the Count de Rochambeau In his gold-lacel coat wore a faded dower, And awaited the giver hour by hour, She was sailing away in the wild March night, On the little deck of the sloop Delight, Guarded even in the darkness there By the wrathful eyes of a jealous care. Three weeks after a brig bore down Into the harbor of Newport town, Towing a wreck—’Twas the sloop Delight Of Hampton rocks, in the very sight Of the land she songht, she and her crew And all on board of her, full in view Of the storm-bound fishermen over the bay, Went to their doom on that April day. When Rochambeau heard the terrible tale, m*Btered a prayer, for a moment grew pale; lhen “Mon Dieu!” ne exclaimed, “so my tine ro mance From beginning to end la a rose and a glance.” —Atlantic Monthly.

In short it is the SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above particulars. COLT’S ARMS CO. have spared no expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA CHINES with which to build these KugineB, so that every part is made up to gauge, and are perfectly in terchangeable, the importance of which will be un derstood by all who are at all familiar with machin ery. Thus, every Engine of a given size is an exact duplicate of every other one of that size, and in case of breakage, the broken part can be immediately re placed by its perfect duplicate. The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its construction, the great need that exists tor a perfect Steam Engine—of small power—adapted to all kinds of light mechanical work, and that should also com bine all that is good in Steam Engineering. The first point was, to secure a perfectly philo sophical Boiler and Furnace, in order to insure the most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest possible amount of heat in generating steam. The second point was, to make a perfect cut-oft Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up the temperature of the cylinder to prevent loss by radiation or condensation. The third point was, to combine and make the whole a mechanically and scientifically correct ma chine; all its parts being provided with means to take up lost motion, so that it may be used for any number of years, and always run smoothly. In all these particulars as much care has been taken as in the largest and most perfect engine ever constructed. The result is—the greatest amount of power PROPORTIONED TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON SUMED— thus proving the fact—well known to men of science—that water is the best medium to trans bustion of fuel, to the production of motive power.

Edgar Lothrop had a new and peculiar drug, from the interior of Africa, brought prominently under his notice by the very strange effect it produced on an animal who had accidentally swallowed a large quantity. Owing to this circumstance lie was led to make many experi ments on the lower animals, and he soon discovered that it had a very peculiar effect on the Nervous Sys tem. This induced hirnto experiment both on himself ami some of his patients, and such was the wonder fully beneficial effects, and so rapid the cure of those afflicted with nervous diseases, that Dr. Lothrop came to the conclusion that he bad discovered a new and valuable addition to the medicines of the phar macopoea. He soon found that this medicine,in ton junction with some others, cured nervous diseases of all kinds with a certainty and rapidity of which he had no previous conception* A tpw vvnrrla rvn Hint snaaiol dicannn 1_— as Nervous Debility or Weakness. This is in most cases brought on by total ignorance of the fearful perni cious effects, but it is also brought on in many cases brought on through no fault of the person afflieted, but by disease, long confinement, and several other causes—but in all cases the effect on the constitution^ is the same. Heretofore, there has been no cure for tins disease, but Dr. Lothrop, having put up this medicine in the form of CORDIAL BALM OF S/RI CUM AND TONIC PILLS, combined with o^her medicines, offers them to all sufferers as a safe and speedy cure. Our Lunatic Asylums are full of pa tients, in many cases brought thither by the effects of Nervous Debility, Many thousands suffer in si lence, hopeless of relief, having often been deceived by unprincipled quacks. Such is not the case with Dr. G. Edgar Lotbrop’s CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI CUM and TONIC PILLS. A very short trial will demonstrate their efficacy. Any who suffer from the effects of over indulgence in tobacco, or alcoholic stimulants, Palpitation of the Heart, St. Vitus* Dance, Epilepsy, Nervous Head ache, Sleeplessness, Restlessness during Sleep. Loss of Memory, Irritability, Nervousness, Twitching of the Nerves, and all other Nervous Diseases, will ffnd this medicine a real blessing. Should any person into whose hands this notice comes, have a friend whom he knows or thinks is af flictedjwith any Nervous Disease, Nervous Debility, etc., he will confer a real kindness on his friend by sending it to him, so as to give him an opportunity of being cured by the use of Dr. Lothrop’s CORDIAL BALM OF SYRICUM and TONIC PILLS.
