Mr.. EDITORIALS the time OF holding the
convention in this district is drawing near, for
the nomination of a Representative to Con-
PRESS To he supported at the coming election
If NAV not be amiss to call the attention of the
party to the Importance of the selection of the
right man.
In looking over the field, we have become
fully satisfied that there is no one better quail
flied for the office. or more deservi ing thah
Hon John Lynch, the present incumbent.

ty would he entitled to the selection OF a can
| didate in the coming convention, but would 1t
NOT he well for York county to waive that
| ri0ht and unite with the western section in
| unanimously nominating Mr.. Lynch to Con-
| gress? No representative has ever done so
| much for the interest of York county az Mr.
Lynch. The appropriations for the breakwater
at the mouth of the river was obtained
through his influence and labors, and the bell
efit arising from this appropriation has GER
talnly been appreciated by the people. MI.
Lynch enjoys the confidence OF the RepublI
can party and also has the respect OF the De-
mocracy by his consistent course in Congress
| He is no speech-maker, but as an energetic
| member of the House he has no superior, and
| his views are always stated clearly and dis
| tiuctly aud with cOnciSeneSs that Is worthy
of imitation. Thaddeus Stevens, the leading
member of the House, has ever been the warm
friend of Mr.. Lynch, and has recognized his SUI
| perior abilities. Mr.. Lynch is a practical man
and no vain theorist, and above all he is truly
a representative of the people, being self
made man. He stood alone, as far as the
Maine delegation was concerned in Congress,
upon impeachment on the 7th of December
| last, and we thirk that the Republican party
! OF this district should honor him for his man
ly course in this respect. HIS able financial
speech which was noticed in your columns a
few weeks since, has attracted the attention OF
| the people, and he has been highly compli-
mented by the best financial men of the conn
! try, for his practical views upon the subject
| Mr. Lynch has honored the first district by
| his able consistent and earnest labors for its
interest-let the first district honor him by
nominating him by reclamation in the coming
convention. REPUBLICAN.

LINCOLN COUNTY.

We learn from the Kennebec Reporter that
a son Of Jeremiah Wheeler, ESQ.,, late of Au-
gusta, about IA years of age fell from a boat
in Whitefeld, Thursday afternoon and was
drowned before assistance could be rendered.
He, in company with another lad, were sailing
for sport, and, unawares, ran upon a rock,
and the boat overturned The other lad mar
rowly escaped with his life
PENoBscoT COUNTY
A Board of Trade has been formed by the
Bangor Mercantile Association.
Ten thousand cigars were seized in Bangor
on Thursday, for being traudulently stamped.
The Bangor Wing fears that the effects of so
large an amount of water, coming while the
streams are full and the ground completely
soaked with the rain of last week, must be
very disastrous throughout the State. The
Penobscot had, we learn, fallen two inches at
Mattawamkeag Thursday, but the water was
then so high that the mill. were obliged to
shut down, and the rain of Thursday must
raise it much higher. 1t will also interfere
with driving, by floating the logs into the in
tervals when fall of water would leave them
high and dry. Too much water for driving is
about as bad as not enough. Fears are enter
tanned that the mills on the river and streams
may some of them be carried away. 1t will
take some days to learn the full extent of the
freshet There is great danger of the great
freshet and rapid current causing the booms to
give way, and let the logs break away, in
which case they could hardly be stopped be-
fore they ran out to sea.

Nor BAD PLAN.-We learn that the Re-
publican committee of Lewiston have made
an arrangement like this, for their caucus,
preliminary to the coming Congressional Con-
expression of the peoples choice between
their two candidates for Representative to
Congress, the Republicans will meet in the
several wards and vote directly for Frye or
Dingtey, as they prefer. The candidate who
receives the majority of votes, will select his
own delegates to the Convention, and they
will receive their credentials from the commit

WHY THERE Is so MUCH RAIN.-We have
found out the cause of the continued rain. The
halliards of the flag staff on Market Hall have
got twisted around the tail of the horse-the
vane on the hall-which prevents him from
moving and keeps him in the rain quarter!
We cannot have sunshine until the horses
tail is cleared from the halliards so that he can
have free swing. Will City Marshall Head or
Deputies Wentworth and Irish attend to this?

To the Editor Of the Press:
This is one of the best farming towns in the
valley Of the Kennebec, in fact L know Of none
better in the State. Some of the farmers are
planting ten, fifteen and even twenty acres,
with potatoes, which, if the season is favorable
will yield $50 and even 300 bushels to the acre.
1t will be seen by making a few figures
that with potatoes at $145, or even a dollar
bushel,
FARMING PAYS.
MIR, Hilton, just across the line in Starks
has farm from which was raised last year
1900 bushels of potatoes, $40 tons of hay, which,
with his other crops including wool couldnot be
worth less than from IS 900 to $4,000. Mr.. Hill
ton is estimated to be worth $4,000, every dol
lar of which was made on his farm. Messrs.
Brown & Hilton raised from their farm last
year 200 tons of hayand 1900 bushels Of potatoes
$40 bushels of oats. Their intervale land has
been cropped for 20 years without any enrich
ing except from the fiowage of the river.
Messrs w. w. Pease and Caleb Patterson,
with land joining, have raised about the same
amount. Col Asa Moore and Hon. w. r.
Flint have large farms which are as produce
tive az any in town. The Me FadGen farm and
Hutchins farm in Embden rank with the best
in the State Others might be mentioned who
are making from their farms, net profit of
from $1,000 to $4,000 year. The farms on the
east side of the river, in Madison, are many of
Them equally productive
THE WOOL CLIP.
Ihere Is probably no town in the State that
PRODUCES larger clip of wool than this There
are several fiocks of 400 or 800 which Weld on
an average about five pounds-tbe market
price of which is now 80 cents pound. Mr..
w. w. Pease took from one buck % nounds
of wool, from another % pounds and another
Is pounds 1t is estimated that there are %
600 sheep ia this town, principally Spanish
Merino.
HAY CROP.
The intervale land on either side of the riv-
or will average a ton and half of excellent
