A GOOD WORD FOR MAINE. The Editor
OF the Newburyport Herald thus writes
about our State: "Mane is the largest and
best of the New England States, equal to
all others, estimate as we will, apart from
population and accumulated wealth. The
best soil in New England is in Maine. Un-
less Vermont will equal it, the Aroostook
has more good soil for cultivation than any
New England State. 1t is true that much
of Maine is rough, but ALMOST any section
will produce more grass, more grain and
more potatoes to the acre than the average
of this section. Then Maine has more sea
coast than all the rest, and it is indented
with bays and harbors fitting it for COM
merce the interior is brought near by its
numerous long and navigable rivers, and
by railway it is in communication with a
broader interior country. Fer manufact-
ures Maine has more water power than all
the rest of the States, enough to run all the
machinery of the country to-day. She
holds in her bosom natural wealth that will
some day attract population OF ten mill
ions of people"

CoRREcrIoN.-M'. Editor; In your report
Of Rev. Mr.. Tomlinson's (Universalist) SER
mon Of yesterday in Metzerott Hall, you
make him say: "The idea Of salvation from
Sinai seems to comprehend the very spirit of
Christ's mission" 1t should have read,
"Salvatlon from SIM" &c.
The distinguishing doctrine Of Universal:
ism Is, that love and goodness will ultimately
triumph over evil and hate; that Christ was
sent Into the world not to reconcile God to
the world, but to reconcile the world, alien
ated through wicked works, to God the
Father; that all the world needs to bring
1t In willing obedience to the Fathers feet Is
realizing sense Of His undylng love and
tender mercy as manifested In Jesus, the
Lord and Master; not a mere belief founded
on logical deductions, but living, yitalizlng
faith. UNIvERsALIsr.

BURLINGToN.-The Free Press has the
following concerning the damages done
by the last freshet in Burlington and
vicinity:
At halfpa four Wednesday, the in
tervale above the high bridge in Colches-
ter was fast taking the appearance of a
lake. The lower intervale in this city
were more deeply flooded at nightfall yes
terday than they have been this season,
the water being reported up to the floor
ing of the Heineberg bridge. The Lake
has risen four feet during the last week,
and was rising yesterday at the rate of an
inch an hour. Mr.. Whitney, the con
tractor for the docking of the new basin,
was hiring all the workmen he could OBJ
tain, in his effort to keep his work above
water. The stoppage of the freight trains
has compelled the planning mills OF the
Lake to stop work, and the lumber bust
ness is suffering very serious Interrupt
ton.

~ We learn from the st. Johnsbury
Caledonian that the frcshet Of last week,
was the most disastrous of any that ever
visited that section. At ST. Johnsbury
Centre, the Passumpsic river was two and
half feet higher than ever before known.
Among all the desolation wrought by the
food, no lives were lost, and no accidents
of a serious nature occurred. Many
bridges and mills in Caledonia County
were swep. away, and a few dwellings
and barns destroyed. The scale shops of
the Messrs. Fairbanks were damaged TO
the extent Of $4,000. One building was
completely undermined, and their large
new foundry building was badly injured,
but the damage was far repaired that
work was recommended the next day.

The man who lodged, fed and
otherwise provided for Prince Arthur and
suite during their recent visit to London
Ontario, showed his loyalty in decid eddy
original manner. His charge for keeping
them two days and half was $1,000.
Among the items were $500 for dry goods.
$40 for beer, $3.50 for horse hire, 500
for the use of the carriage in which the
Prince rode, with $3.50 additional in
another item, and this after representa-
tions were made to the board that the
Princes carriage and horses would be fur
nshed free ; then there il likewise a
claim of some $500 for omissions, use of
house, etc, with other charges of like
nature The London Council has re-
fused to pay the bill, but the landlord has
declined compromise. How the matter
will end remains to be seen.
