the Congressional Globe. Of the passage OF
the resolution OF Feb 81. 1882, extending
the time Of the Comm is.ion under the Con.

Oa the 18th Of February. 1852. the Pres'
ident sent message To the Senate setting
forth the obstacle. which impeded the con-
elusion Of the business Of the Commission
Tor the distribution Of the Brazilian lndem-
nifty. Thi. message was referred 10 the
COMMITTEES on Foreign Relations. and on
the next day Mr.. Mason. the Chairman OF
the Committee reported joint resolve ef-
tending the iimc nine months.
Ga Feb 9th. Mr.. Mason asked Tor tho
consideration Of the resolution. and the SEN
ate amended the same, by giving four months
instead OF nine.
On the 9th Of February the amended
resolution Passed the House. Under the
resolution the Commission Tor the disirlhu-
ton Of the Indemnity expired July /, ls52.

The Sixth Annual Show and Fair OF the
Maine State Agricultural Society, will be
held in Portland September 18th to 18th

are to bring together the best specimens OF

emulation to excel in every department. OF
Industry. We see no way Of bringing about
,he.e desirable results 80 satisfactorily as by
an Exhibition, where the public may freely
examine and pass upon the merits OF stock
or articles exhibited. We believe such eH'
hibitions are the hes, medium calculated TO
bring to notice the peculiar merits OF farm
stock aud productions, and the mechanic
end. his machine. carriage, or fabric, much
better under.,ood than by any other Of 'y''
