AN AROosTooK correspondent of the Maine
Farmer, in answering the inquiries of some
one in regard to the State of Maine, writes as
follows about that portion of Aroostook where
he resides: ra4
The Plantation of Sarsfeld, is one and a
half miles from Fort Fairfield, in the county
of Aroostook, lying on the boundary line be-
tween this State and the Province of New
Brunswick. believe this plantation was lot
ted out six years ago for settling, and now it is
nearly all settled by good thrifty farmers
Our soil is of very deep redish color, varying
from one to two feet deep in this county. 1t
would seem almost impossible 10 those that
know nothing about it, how soon the forest can
he converted into growing fields Of grain and
grass. The prices of farms vary according TO
location and quality; farms with fifteen to
twenty-five acr IS cleared in this Plantation,
are worth from $500 to $780, Wild land be-
longing 10 proprietors Is worth from $50 TO
$500 Der acre; State land 30 cents per acre, to
be paid in building roads in the township
where the land is situated. Wages twenty
five dollars per month for farm labor, and from
twenty 10 twenty-five dollars 20 work In the
woods Ia the winter season. Mechanics wages
vary from $500 20 s2.50 per day. Our prihci-
pal crops are oats, buckwheat and potatoes
Wheat this past season has done very well,
better than for five years past. We always

the price Of oats varying the past four years
from 40 10 60 cents per bushel; buckwheat
45 20 20 cents per bushel, and potatoes from 10
% 50cents per bushei. Corn and beans proved
a very good crop for those that had planted
them this season. as we had no frost this fall
until late. The average yield Of oats this sea-

acre, although some pieces will yield 20 bush

ENGLAND AND FRANCE IN EaYrr.-AL Lon

ENGLAND AND FRANCE IN EGYPT.-A Lon
don letter-writer gossips as follows: a
1t is admitted, at last, that Maximilian has
probably abdcated and will return to Europe.
The Empress Carlotta, who was supposed to be
fast recovering, is said to have had relapse,
and to distrust everybody. The Emperor Ma
poleon may not be sorry to have his entire ar
my at home, but the abandonment of Mexico
is humiliation to him, and a triumph to his
enemies. 1t makes it the more necessary for
him to keep on good terms with the universal
suffrage that raised him to power. He must
satisfy France. Now, who is to blame that he
is driven from Mexico? The United States,
no doubt; but the action of the United States
is natural, and therefore excusable. The real
blame falls on England. 1t was England who,
by refusing to join France in recognizing the
Confederate Government, made possible this
rail- the punishment for this disgrace. The
first blow will be struck at what Englishmen
consider a vital spot-by the occupation of
Egypt The Times has assured us that Eng
land will fight for Egypt tooth and nail. Then
she must fight France. Egypt is half French
already. Young Egyptians are educated in
French colleges. A French company has uni
ted the Red Sea with the Mediterranean; the
Egyptians have organized Constitutional
Government on the French model Egypt
will exist under French protectorate, or the
tri-color will fly from the SUBMITS of the pyra-
mids. And if England goes to war with
France ON that account, by herself, or as the
ally of Russia and Prussia, then England will
be invaded and Waterloo avenged.
