On Agricultural Implements.

ou
Tho Committee on Agricultural Imple'
ments, have attended to the duty assigned
them, and make the following report:
Not large number Of articles were enter
cd for exhibition, but Of the few which VT
examined we select the following as worthy
of notice.
Five plows Of Fryc's manufacture, Of n,
Berwick, snd.exhlbited by Mr., G.. l. Good
win OF Saco. The Committee recommend
that = premium Of $500
be awarded to Mr.. Goodwin for the best
plow.
Two Cultiyators Of Frye's manufacture ex-
hibited by Mr.. q. |. Goodwin of Saco. The
Committee recommend that the SOciety's
Diploma be awarded to Mr.. Goodwin for the
best Cultivator exhibited.
Two Ok YOkes exhibited by Mr.. o. p.
Milliken Of Buxton. The Committee deem
these well worthy Of mention, and would
recommend that the Society's Diploma be
awarded to the Exhibitor.
One Buckeye Moving Machine, exhibited
by Mr.. George |. Goodwin Of Saco.
The Committee recommend that the SOci-
ety's Diploma be awarded Mr.. Goodwin for
the best and only Moving Machine on eShib-
itlon, and also the SOcicty's Diploma for the
following list Of articles exhibited by Mr..
Goodwin, most of which were manufactured
out of the County, but arc very useful and
valuable implements for the farmer, to wit
Two Hay Cutters; one Corn Shelter; one
Seed Sower, (CahOon's PATENT and one hall
dozen OK Bows.
The Committee would also make favorable
mention of the Harrow exhibited by Alessrs.
DecrinS and Adams. AS tins has been on
exhibition at the Society's Fair of last year,
for which Diploma was then awarded, we
suppose it may be unnecessary to make fur
ther mention Of it at this time.
Your Committee have also examined a new
and improved Cast Iron rhesl hub from the
foundry OF Messrs. woodman and Burnham,
and presented by them for exhibition.
We recommend that thcSociety's Diploma
be awarded to Messrs. woodman and Burn
ham. and do not hesitate to recommend to
the public their cast iron wheel hub as the
best one we have yet seen.

Johns, pastor Of the Methodist church in
that place, made some statements showing
that man, II he was economical, could save
$3.50 from his wages in three years. and the
hundred dollars bounty would make $3.50.
Now II he was paid once IN two months, and
should he invest his wages in the $40
treasury notes, the interest would amount to
SAC, making $500 for his three years work,
besides his clothes and food. In addition to
this, the amount that might bo saved from
ratfOns, II used advantagcously would make
quite little sum. and the land that will be
given at the close Of tho war will swell the
sum still more, making the grand total ss32.
It Is not pretended that all. or many, would
save this amount. But all might do 30 by
exercising rigid economy.
The above calculations are on tho suppo-
sition that man is not married. II he Is
married he would have the same amount,
minus the interest, for the support Of his
family,or il his wife could support the family
by the aid Of the sum paid by tho state, hc
would save the same as the unmarried man.
This is the mcrcenary appeal to men to enlist.
There are higher motives that actuate every
man, and when they are both combined,
patriotism and the pocket, the effect should
be to Gil up our regiments at once, and send
such q body Of men to the seat Of war as
shall efiectually crush this rebellion before
It gets any stronger. Tho country wants
men, but she does not call on them to work
for nothing, and II every man who cannot
make as much at something else would
enlist, the Uniosarmy would bc filed in II
week with as many men as arc wanted.

unobservant people, that it is difficult to dis
pei it. This year the foliage has assumed
the most gorgeous coloring without sign OF
frost, and, indeed, seems to be more brilliant

AuruMSAL TrNTs.-No one can maintain al
ter this years experience, that frost has any
special agency in the autumn colontion of
leaves. Scientific men have long understood
the matter, and have explained the ripening
OF the leaf as simple process ot vegetable
growth, though the coloation Of the leaves
at maturity can no moro bc accounted for
than the red Of the rose. the blue Of the viO-
let, or the onngo Of the lily. The color
which leaves assume in the fall is due to the
same causes. But the popular idea that the
leaves are changed BY tho Aust Is 50 nruly

Address to tho Peace Party.

Now that the State election is over and
past, one may venture to address you with
especial reference to your peculiar views Of
the war, and Of the relations past and pres
ent between the North and South, without
ncurring the imputation OF an attempt to
influence your votes, or to excite partizan
feelings. The result Of the election is now
known, and you find yourselves to be a small
and scattered minority Of men opposed to
the present administration, opposed TO the
war, sympathizing with the enemies of the
government, some of you openly advocating
secession and desirous OF raising the flag Of
rebellion, and Others doing substantially the
same thing by raising the cry Of " Peace ["
and; " compromise se,f
Such Is the position WHICH you havcchosen
to occupy in the State and Nation at mo-
mcntous period when there Is imminent dan
ger that the Constitution formed by your
fathers. and the noble fabric Of government
erected upon it, may bc broken in pieces and
be destroyed beyond redemption. We'd not
intend to indulge in my rhetorical -four
ishes, nor to attempt any bursts of eloquence,
but rather to talk with you as men having
somo intelligence, some common sense, and
not altogether devoid Of the ability to reason
upon we'll known facts; although, to tell you
tho truth, we find 1t almost inconceiyable
how men conyersant with these facts, and
the history Of the country during only the
last thirty years-and especially during the
last twelve yeas,-can occupy the position
and use the arguments advanced by your cx.
ponents, the Bangor Democrat that ,cds, and
the Maine Democrat that is, with any claims
to intelligence, common sense, or reasoning
ability. 1t would be very curious, IL the
secrets of each mans breast could be laid
open, to know the real motives which lie at
the bottom of his outward action! But that
is a matter which cannot with any certainty
DO determined.
In the first place, you arc opposed to the
administration. Well, at any other time
than the present who could blame you for
that? We most certainly should not; for
wo believe that in republican form Of
government parties arc ITS safeguards, and
the opposition constitutes the balance wheel
Of its machinery. But this wo hold to bc
true only in tunes Of peace; or if In time Of
war only when the government unjustly in
augurates hostilities with weak ncighbor.
as in tho case of the war with Mexico. Did
you Oppose that war; Texas was stolen by
filibusters from the United States,-did you
cry )ut against "crowding our southern
neighboB?" Not at oil, but because the
Mexicans resented the recognition Of Texas
as an independent nation, and the final adop-
ton Of it as q State, of the Union, your nd
ministration declared war against them, and
your party to man approved Of II, and
cunningly inycigled your political opponents
into support OF il.
But you say that the Republican party
have caused the present war, and that Re-
publican administration has inaugurated il
with our southern brethren. None but the
most ignorant Of your party believe any such

The following article from the New
York Tribune, will afford amusement to
our readers:
The free States are about 10 witness a
revival Of business, and Of their indus
trial interests generally, through the OPP
Grafton Of secession. 1t will undoubted-
ly soon become necessary to blockade
the seaports Of the seeding States, and
TO repeal the laws making them ports of
foreign entry. As soon as this il done,
the whole trade Of those States will be
thrown back upon the Northern and
Northwestern railroad. And the bnsi
ness now transacted at New Orleans,
Mobile, Charleston, Savannah and the
ports of every other seeding State, will
be transferred 10 the free State ports. AMI
to Baltimore If the fools do not succeed
in getting majority in Maryland for
secession.
If Maryland keeps quiet, Baltimore
VIII soon receive an impulse in her trade
such as has not been kown for years
But if Maryland ahsconds, Baltimore
must suffer the penalty, and what she
might enjoy will be divided among the
Northern cities But however Maryland
may act, Philadelphia New York, aud
Boston are going to profit largely by Sc.
ccssion. The whole Southern trade
must center at these points Cotton and
every Southern product must travel
North 20 find an outlet. Now Orleans
will be ruined, and Mobile, and Savan.
nah, and Charleston, Wilmington. Nor
folk, Richmond and Baltimore, will fol
low suit, if secession embraces the
States in which these ports lie There
is no help for it When the laws max
ing them ports of entry are repealed
they will be sealed to all bn, conirahand
trade This contraband trade will a
mount TO nothing. because there win be
no obstruction and no hinhrancc to traf
iic inland, and through free state ports
All the operations Of trade will be car.
ricd on as now. only through new shan.
nels The embargo will be unique, and
its operations most curious and most in
struciiye
1t is highly probable chat but a brief
period will elapsc before the whole race
OF Southern statesmen who have brought
on the present disorders and mischief in
the South, will be tumblcd overheard as
the greatest Sc, of political rharlatans
that ever mismanagcd and complicated
public Affairs They will be disgraced

the South shrink and vl,ier while the
giant North touri,hes and eypands

will be too much TO lear. The posnlar
Indignation must rise and cxpel the
proud and passionate incapahles from
every position Of Influence
We could cxuit over the inevitable in.
lustrial results of secession 10 the North.
hn, for thc feeling Of pain and rortihca.

folly Of their political leaders But the
result must come Tho free States will
