The PEACH CRoP.-Somc of our exchanges
announce the ruin of the peach crop. We believe
this Is mistake, and on further inquiry they will
mud that this annual proclamation Of failure is
uhcaled for. There has no doubt been some
damage sustained, especially by the delicate va
rictes but there Is still evidence of large and
profitable yield. The circulation Of such reports
must exercise IN Injurious influence OH the BUSH
ness OF the whole peninsula, and especially on
districts where peaches are largely depended on
TO meet financial engagements. II may likewise
deter capitalists from investing in railroads and
other improvements, and cause intending imini-
grants 10 carry their labor and capital elsewhere
there Is q failure, we and hope in future that the
publication of such exaggerated reports will be
avoided.-CrunIptcnia IF Queen Annes oountu

The excitement over the question of leas-
ing this road still continues especially in Bel
fast, which is the party most directly interest
ed. The citizens are somewhat divided in
their opinions as to which route is preferable
and whether the offer of the Maine Central
or the Portland 6 Kennebec Company is most
favorable, though think the growing senti-
ment stronly favors the latter. They have
made contract with our directors and
meeting for ratification by the stockholders
will be held on the 10th inst.
The president, treasurer, and several of our
directors returned from visit over the pro-
posed route to Kendall's Mills and up as far
as Bingham, and an informal interview with
some ofthe Portland and Kennebec officers.
They express themselves as highly gratified
with the prospect and report everything ia.
vorable for the route. There is rumor to
the effect that the Portland & Kennebec Com
pany, are willing to do better than heretofore
offered. 1t is said they will lease the road for
fifty years at 6 per cent on the cost and take
what additional stock over a million dollars
is required to complete it. This is not only
question of broad vs. narrow gauge, but it is a
question upon the settlement of which de-
pends much of Importance to the railroad and
general interests of the State. WALDO.

During the war immigration to America
fell of, but the tide is now fully resumed and
the present season will probably witness a
greater westward movement of European
peasantry and mechanics than any previous
year. The steamships of the various ocean
lines are crowded with emigrants, and pres
ent accommodations are inadequate to the
demand Tor transportation. In single day
fifteen hundred Germans arrived at Bremen
to embark tor America, and they were Joined
on the succeeding day by two thousand more.
Northern. Germany loses most helvily, but
the indications are that the emigration from
all parts OF Great Britain will be very large.
The troubles in various parts OF Ireland will
have the effect to swell the westward tide
On the other hand the Chinese in our Pacific
States have been sending back to their
friends in the Flowery Kingdom, fattering
accounts OF their prosperity and prospects in
America. The leaven is working and thou
sands OF Chinese peasants, who at home live
on rice and work for eight cents day, are
turning their swart faces and almond eyes
toward the Great Republic. The tide of
Aslatic emigration has fairly begun, and it is
difficult to predict what proportions 1t will as
sumo. But it is not difficult to see that, with
indifferent Europe coming to us from the East,
heather Asia from the West, and having
recently enslayed and still degraded race
in our midst, we have constant and ever
gro wing task to pc. form in governing, Chris
tianizing, and assimilating these elements OF
our population. Aud it is a task which even
in sei-detense we must thoroughly perform.
Foreign immigration, even from China, will
not injure America SO long as American ciyi-
lization asserts and maintains It's sovereignty
but the moment we intermlt our efforts to
lit these masses to our own level AMI to in
ocuiate them with the genuine spirit oil
Christian progress, that moment our institu-
tons will be swamped. But our institutions
will not be swamped, for the needed work
will be done.-Ihe Adpance.

THE SCENERY QUESTION.
HIRAM, May 81, 1869.
Mr.. EDToR,-In your issue of Saturday
last, giving an account of the surveys of the
Portland and Ogdensburg railroad, you say
in speaking of the middle route, aThe seem
cry along Sebago Lake, and in fact, all along
this route, is superb, and would be great at
traction in summer travel" We reckon yor
haven't Travelled much in Northern Cumber-
land and Oxford Counties.
When you can find more delightful scenery
than on the Western route along the banks
of the beautiful Saco, you will surely he
obliged to look up some other route besides
the sand plains along Sehago Lake, or the
ridges and twSRnps of South Denmark, more
commonly called "Skunk's Misery" We
would not detract one iota from the middle
route, but cannot afford to have the Western
route sighted, so far as scenery is concerned.
Whether we are to have railroad or not,
we shall always claim that no more beautiful
scenery can be found in Western Maine than
along the valley of the winding Saco, as many
of your Portlanders will testify. Now, Mr..
Editor, if you have little spare time, just
take trip up here and we will show you
some scenery worth seeing; will show you
the finest waterfall in the State; will take
you to the top of Mt. Cutter, Tear Cap, &c j;
give you ride over Riverside Park; take
you up to the Point-and all for no pay.
Yours truly, SCENERY.

The American edition of Blackwood's Edin-
burgh Magazine for May has reached u.s.
"How Lisa Loved the King" Convent Life"
and "The Progress of the Revolution" are
among the most popular papers, bat there are
more that are excellent.
The London Quarterly Review is also here,
and among the most entertaining articles are
"Modern English Poets, "Cost Of Party
Government" "Female Education" and
"Aims of Modern Medicine 1t is most de-
sirabe number of this splendid periodical.
The Dance of Modern Society" by w. G.
Wilkinson, published by Oakley, Mason s. Co.
New York, is reprint OF some notable maya
zine articles that attracted great attention at
the tine of their publication, aud will be
sought for now that they are put into neat
and beautiful shape. This little book contains
IS pages of sharp reproof Of those persons who
dance" according to the modern notion of
amusement-seekers It takes strong and re-
lentless position against dancing as practiced
by modern society, and treats this "hateful
subject" under "duress OF conscience" Lor-
ing, Short & Harmon have it for sale.
Putnam gives us two new books which can
be found at Loring, Short & Harmops, and
which will meet with ready sale. The first
is "The Life of John James Audubon" the
Naturalist. 1t is edited by his widow, and
contains an introduction by James Grant Viii
son. 1t is most charmingly designed and
printed, and cannot fail to be warmly welcomed
Not only do we get familiar personal history
OF the great Naturalist, but we get all the ex-
citing events of his long years of research ia
all countries and climes; and to the excite
ment of adventure is added the wealth of sci
entifc discovery. 1t is book that can be cor
daily approved and comnended.
The next is Norman Leslie" a romance
or rather story, as the author puts it-of New
York. It was written, the author says In bis
preface, forty years ago. Perhaps some Of our
readers may know Mr.. Theodore s. Fay, the
author. but whether they do or not, they may
