is, to tell them by fats and .fgur,', what
is the Hs' profit per cent and per acre in the
West, instead Of this rhetorical flourish.
Then they can compare agriculture in the
two sections and come to an intelligent cou'
clusion as to what is best for them to do
stay where they aro or start West.
IL is really lauehabl, to see this flourish
ablu, snow and cold IN Maine from a State
in the midst Of winter, whcrc the cattle were
dying from exposure and cold, and the 10.
comotiycs on their railroalswc buried mp

was on the illinois Central Railroad" tha;
Fourteen loylmo,iyc,wcrc buried in one snow
dril, at one time, and the passengers obliged
to cut up the cars and burn them, to keep
from freezing, Who ever heard OF any
thing like this in Maine The truth is,
while their trains have been greatly rctari.
ed irno, altogether stopped, during the two
las, winters, here in Maine, most Of our
roads have suffered very little in this way.
Aud If any reliance can be placed on the re-
ports Of their newspapers in different local.
itics, we have had no such intensely cold
weather here in Maine as they have had in
Illinois.
/, may D, said, tho two last have bocn
unusual winters, but We reply, what has
b,cn, may be again, and whcu 1t does come,
they must suiTer immensely more, in every
way, than We DO. They are not, neither

THE ORPHANS.

We have Just been informed that there is great
treat ahead; another of those delightful concerts
which we have been annually RECALLED with by the
amateur musicians of our city, ladies and gentle
men. These concerts have hitherto been exclu-
siVely for the benefit of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum, but the proceeds of the one which is to
be given on next Tuesday night, Dec. l6, at the
Christian Church, are to be divided between two
of city charities, equally deserving, towt: the
Orphan Asylums respectively Of the PrOtestants
and of the Catholics.
It is indeed gratifying thing to us to be able
to aid these truly Christian enterprises, not as
sectarsn nurseries, but philanthropic charities.
Let all go, bit with an assurance from us in ad-
vance, that only those who dislike good music
need attend under the impression that they are
doing mere charity, for We can assure our read
ers, from knowledge we have of the talent en-
listed, they viii get doubly the worth of their
money.
