directions, may be seen fields apparently
abandoned to their fate, and producing yearly
a crop sufficient to seed the State. What
their owners can be thinking OF it is difficult
to imagine. Perhaps like the moon man,
they may think it useless to contend against
destiny, and that to eXpel the intruders is a
task as hopeless. as it is laborious. Some
think daiscs make pretty good hay, which
is only an excuse for laziness.
Thorough cultivation at the right time,
clean grass seed, and plenty of it, will cure
the most chronic cases, in the course of one
or two rotations.
"Fancy the felinks'of Il cleanly farmer who
believes in and practiscs thorough culture,
when he happens to be located beside one
who gives care to the winds along with his
weed seeds, and scatters both over the
land of his pains taking neighbor.
We do not write these remarks for pastime,

We have made diligent inquiry into the facts
connected with the building ofthis bridge and The
Prospect of its speedy completion, and find them
10 be about as follows:-
II was not expected that so much of the bridge
Would be completed by this time and for this
Jason arrangements were not made for the build
M Of the approaches. Such arrangements will
fpeedly be made and the bridge made accessible
3'Nd opened to travel. We arc positively inform
fcu mai this is the true explanation of the delay

&smple one.

|l'oaches, whether they be of wood or in the

sVliurstionaby the duty dcvolves upon the coun-

THIRD STREET BnlpGE.-We are glad to be
able to state that work will be resumed on this
bridge in few days and the structure put in
travelling order. This end cannot be fixed rs it
ought to be, however. until the city extends and
fills up the new avenue it has recently acquired
from the Railroad Company.
Any one looking at the bridge will sec this, for
If the frame work of the bridge be extended until
it strikes Third street, the new avenue will be OF
but little use, for persons coming over it from
Fourth street would have to turn and drive some
distance up Third street, and then turn again to
get on the bridge.

Editors Commemorative forward you for pub
lication the following extract from II letter, re.
ceived from II very intelligent workman, chi
tloyed in one of tho Brandywine factories now
ON n visit to his native State. He gives the rea-
son of the Republican loss in Municipality
among the people, and outside issues among the
politicians. Copperheads in Mainc MS in Dela-
ware, keep up the cuckoo song of Democracy,
e.nd their leaders, thrsting for Office bring ont
their entire rank and file at every election:
@ arrived here in time to see the State cleo
tions, which resulted MS you hare heard, in n
sweeping Republican triumph. This is NIL the
more creditabe to the State of Maine, as the
Union party were nowhere organized aud took
no measures to bring out their strength, while
The Democrats We're thoroughly organized, MAIN
ly in Hquor leagues, and brought out their entire
vote.
g The fact that the Republicans can, without
effort, overcome the desperate attempt Of the
Democrats to regain power, indicates how strong
| the Union sentiment Pro,-ails in Maine. Tho or
position gain was altogether on account of the
liquor qucston--hcre, MS elsewhere, whisky and
Democracy being twin brothers. The Republic
can majority is now, however, fully up to the av-
crage majority for the past ten years.
