Attend the Caucu.cs.

just previous to the State election, caucuses
will be holden in nearly all the towns in the
State. We call upon the business men and the
busy men generally, who have heretofore taken
no part in the nomination of candidates for
Office, to turn out and have word to say about
who shall represent them in the State Legisla-
ture.
In majority of towns an ordinary caucus is
composed Of barely enough to officer it, and
upon this handful is devolved the duty of Sc
lecting candidates for town and other officers
We hope our friends will correct this matter
and turn out to the primary meetings in large
numbers. 1t will afford pleasant recreation
and excitement, and beget an interest in the
election which will be productive of good re-
suits

CATHOLIC FAIR.-This great undertaking
promises to be successful. The thousands who
have already visited the magnificent Cathe-
dral in which it is held have been struck with
admiration, and each one retiring determines
to return and induce his faends to accompany
him. The building itself, beautiful in its pro-
portions and decorations, is an object of won
der; the grand and richly carved organ, pow
erful in tone, yet sweet and void of harshness,
astonishes and charms the ear of the listener;
the articles offered for sale, numerous and of
costly value, entice the patron to purchase;
but the scene the most charming is that of the
little children dressed in white and green and
seated on an amphitheatre within the chancel
directly facing the organ. Their cheerful
countenances and modest behavior their read
mess to obey the signals given to them, en-
nance, as it were, the beholders, while their
sweet voices, singing in truest time our nation
al and popular airs, delight the anxious audi
ences. We were told that His Honor Mayor
Putnam will visit the Fair this evening, and
that these children will greet him with song
of welcome. We say to all, be present, enjoy
a pleasant evening and encourage noble
work

BRITISH CONSULATE, PORTLAND Me.

IL.
August 18th, 1869.
Mr.. EDIToR,-I have lately received q COM
munication from the Secretary OF State for
Foreign Affairs in London acquainting me
that there is going to be held next year, 1870,
at the Agricultural Hall, Ellington, London,
a Workmen's International Exhibition which
in addition to the ordinary purposes of an ex-
hibtion, should, as far as possible, serve the
purpose of a school of TechncL Education
The committee of this project earnestly de-
sires that its object should be promoted by the
formation of local committees in foreign cities
the special duties of which would be, first, to
arouse the interest of the artisans; and Sec
ondly, wherever it may be possible, to assist
in defraying the expenses Of carriage to Eng
land.
The committee in London would be glad to
receive through me, the name of any gentle
man Who in given town, would be ready to
act as Honorary Secretary OF such committee
and who would give his assistance in forming
it; and also the names of those gentlemen
manufacturers, workmen &c., who would be
suitable persons to serve on such committee
and would be willingto do So
I shall be happy to give any further inform
alton l may be in possession of upon this sub
ject, to any persons interested in this Interna-
tional project, upon either personal or written
application at this Consulate.
Your most obedient faithful servant

Dedication of the New Court House nj
Bath.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The Supreme Judicial Court Dickerson, j.,
presiding, commenced its session here yester-
day. No Court business was done, not even
the formal opening. The day was devoted to
the dedication of the new Court House. After
the opening prayer by DR.. Fiske, Mr.. County
Attorney Adams, at the request of members of
the Bar announced the programme, and Hon.
Henry Tallman addressed the Court. Judge
Dickerson replied His Honor commenced
the study of his profession here some thirty
three years ago. He contrasted the Bath of
to-day with the Bath of former years, and en-
larged the scope of his Argument to county,
State and national advancement, aud resume
of the progress of civilization, material, intel
lectual and political, during this third of the
century. He closed with tribute to the sta
bility of the Common law and q dedication to
the administration of the law in its purity, its
simplicity, its vitality and its power, of this
spacious edifice, erected by the public spirit
and enterprise OF the citizens of the county of
Sagadahoc. LET u.s. he said, "one and all,
Conrt, Bar and people, unite heartily together
and dedicate this ediice to the cause of pnblio
order, to truth, Justice. liberty and to law, and
whom, a century hence, posterity shall occupy
the places we now occupy in the celebration OF
the anniversary of this day, God grant that it
may be in land of liberty protected by law .
His Honor, in recounting his "reminiscences
of the peopleof Bath, said she was distin-
guished for the noble men she had raised I'D
and sent abroad to enligbten and to bless man
kind. "Thirty-fve years ago." he said, II
very well recollect, little child of two years
or so IF age, now one of the most distinguished
members OF the Cumberland Bar and presid-
ing with great ability and efficiency over the
municipal affairs of the city of Portland.
Thirty i've years ago Portland was lilapidated
and apparently deserted of business. 1t has
now aroused itself from its slumbers and is be-
coming the metropolis of New England.
After the addresses the Sagadahoc Bar,
Larrabee President, adjourned in a body to a
Bar dinner at the Sagadahoc House. A few
invited guests were present. The post pran-
dial speeches were witty, wise and personal
Rev. DR.. Fiske, a relative of Orr, gave remin-
iscences of him and others, and made one of
the best speeches at the table. There was no
necessity that the Doctor should be minister.
Undoubtedly he would have succeeded at the
Bar.
But the cars are giving their premouitions,
and stop here. STENos

The Lac yya,ter n. fso...,.s

The recent death at Westbrook of this gen.
tleman deserves passing notice. His record
is indeed on high, and though dead, he vet
speaketh. But brief reference to life of
rare integrity, purity and gentleness, and eff
ficiency withal, may serve as an example to
others who would also die the death of the
righteous.
Mr.. Goodrich was born in Connecticut in
1902. Early in life he became resident oil
Stevens Plains, Westbrook, where he followed
the business Of tin-plate working, from which
he retired several years ago having acquired a
handsome property. For twenty-eight years
he was trustee of Westbrook Seminary, and
was superintendent of the Sabbath School
since its organization in that place to the time
of his death. As auditor of town accounts,
as well as individual his services were in
frequent requisition, and as the Esquire"
of the place, in drawing up deeds and other
legal instruments, no one secured the conf
denco Of the public to greater extent than
he. AS q friend and counsellor also many re-
paired to him assured that they would fiud
ready sympathy and efficient aid.
His seat was never vacant at the church
when health permitted his attendance; and in
all the relations of life he was ever at the post
Of duty. Amiable in disposition, unassuming
in manners, and sound ON all moral questions
he beautifully illustrated the Christian life,
and has gone to his heavenly reward. Hap
PLY we use no qualifying term Gas doubtless,
in re gard to his future condition: for the king
dom of God was within him, and his life wal
but an antepast of the bliss of heaven.
The funeral services over the remains of Mr.
Goodrich took place in the Universalist chape
at Stevens Plains,an were conducted by Rev
Mr. Record, an intimate friend and associate
who paid beautiful tribute to the memory O
the deceas ID.
Mr.. Goodrich leaves widow and son ant
daughter to mourn his departure, and ther'
are many friends who share their grief. Sncl
man we love and honor. We ask not t.
what religious sect he belonged: we only know
that he was Christian, and in that assuranc,
| we rejoice.

nj Fair.
The great event in the industrial history Of
Maine is the Fair that will be held in this
city, beginning ON The 7th Of September. III
the variety and excellence OF products ana
manufactures exhibited in the completeness
of ARRANGEMENTS for the display of stock and
tbe various articles to be exhibited, and in
the number of people who either as exhibit
ors or spectators will be present, the Fair will
far surpass anything of the kind that has ever
before occurred within the limits OF our
State.
There is only one drawback to be appre-
hended, and that is the tendency of the State
election. Of the two events the election is
undeniably far the most important and we
would counsel no one to allow his attention
to be diverted from it by any considerations
connected with the Fair. But the Fair will
only occupy four days, and SO much time, at
least, may be spared from the labors of the
campaign, if the rest is made use of, as it
should be- in the interest OF the State.
Our chief anxiety with reference to the
Fair is that the farmers and other producers
of Maine may avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity afforded to awaken general enthusi-
asm, something like an industrial revival,
among all who are engaged in agricultural
and mechanical pursuits. 1t is universally
conceded, at home and abroad, that Maine is
entering upon new era-an era that shall
give her much higher relative position
among the States than she now occupies.
The extension of her railroad system, the n.y.
geographic survey and the impetus given to
manufacturing thereby, are certain to make
the State at no very distant period, very
beehive of industry. The improvement OF
our unrivaled water-po lining our streams
with manufactures, will have no less potent
an effect in stimulating agriculture. 1t is,
therefore, an suspicious circumstance that
just at this time the New England FAIR
should be held in conjunction with the State
Fair in Portland. The event will give the
State a fair startolf on her new career, if all
classes of our citizens come forward, as they
should, and contribute everything in their
power to make Names part in the exhibition
a creditable one

ANDRoscoGGIN COUNTY

A correspondent of the Kennebec Journal
tells shocking story of seeing man at North
Turner Bridge holding boy, five years old,
while the brute's wife was beating the child
with club. On inquiry he found that the
child was an adopted one. The same couple
adopted child once before, but it soon died
of a ''trouble in the head"

The Lewiston Journal learns that there will
be moderate yield in the Oxford hop fields
under cultivation this year. Many have plow-

in some instances large fields are-left untouch-
ed. Old hops are being sent off to some ex-
tent from Bethel, at cents. The price for Lew
it is thought will be 15 cents, which will about
pay the cost of cultivation. 1t is quite possible
however, as the Western hop crop is short,
that prices may be higher.
