ALARMING SEIzURE-The Legislature Of
Maine at its recent extra session, was seized
with sudden fit of the smallest and most ma
lignant kind of economy, and under its infu-
ence suspended the Resolves for the promul-
CATION of the Laws of the State so far as re-
lates to the session, and ordered them to be
published in certain designated papers,
Brunswick Telegraph.
1t was small business besides being malig-
nant; but we venture to say the papers not
" designated - are the best Off The price
paid was the enormous sum of STA dollars, Just
about enough TO pay for the composition
But the selection of papers is really curiosi-
ty. In Cumberland the Eastern Argus, Port
land Advertiser and Portland Iuq1arcr-three
in one county, one being the paper that started
the g Togus story" and defined the different
grades of I" cats" That was very respectful
in the committee towards opponents. In Lin
coin the '' designated are the Northern Tri-
bune and the Democrat, the Eastern Times
being left out altogether. In Portland, Saco,
Augusta and Bangor, it was deemed necessa-
ry to publish the laws in two or three papers
but Bath is an insignificant part Of creation, in
the view Of such conglomeration of wiseacres
as last assembled at the capitol.
1t is fortunate for us that we can afford to
be left out, not having an existence so precari-
Gus as to be dependent entirely upon political
patronage And we trust our Brunswick
neighbor can say the same. We are under
the ban Of certain malignant politicians of
Lincoln County. And we shall keep on their
track, too, with barbed point.

"SUNDAY Com. The Boston LnUestiga-
tor publishes an extract from letter, in which
the writer says he has raised two acres Of
" Sunday corn," the proceeds of which he
proposes to devote TO the purchase of infdel
books. All the work upon it was done on
SUNDAY, and he thinks it will yield about sew
enty bushels to the acre. 81 don't see," says
this pains-taking Sabbath-breaker, but what
Nature or Providence has smiled upon my
Sunday work, though the priests tell US that
no labor performed on that day ever prospers.
My two acres of corn tell another story" If
the author Of this shallow nonsense had read
his bible as much as he has the works of its
opponents, he would have known that the Ru-
Ter Of the universe does not always square up
his accounts in October.
AS an Offset to the above, we will relate an
anecdote of the raising of g Sunday corn,"
told US some years since by the individual who
raised it. The details are very singular, to
say the least Mr.. G. had bought piece of
land on the bank Of the Kennebec, several
miles above Waterville. He was at work by
the month with farmer near his own land,
and consequently had no time during the week
to devote to it. He ploughed,- planted and
hoed it on Sunday. The corn grew finely,
and there was every prospect of an abundant
harvest. 1t happened, however, about harvest
time that fire was set for the purpose of
burning the underbrush on piece of land
across the river, which is at that place very
narrow. 1t continued burning several days,
and when Sunday came high wind came
also, taking into the air burning brands and
cinders, large quantities of which were lodged
among the Sunday corn. The consequence
was, the corn was entirely consumed, and
that, too, on Sunday
