To the Patrons of the Press.

The death of the late proprietor of the
Daily and Maine State Press, has recent
ly resulted in a change of ownership, and
it becomes necessary that all who are in
arrears over one years subscription for
the above papers, or are otherwise in debt
should pay up at their earliest convenience.
In many instances letters have been forward
ed to our more distant subscribers. We trust
that if such notices have not been received,
this information will be considered of sufii-
cient Importance as to receive from our
friends their earliest attention. We propose
that our rules in this instance shall be so
modified that a prompt payment on the part
of those in arrears shall not subject any per-
son to any additional payment over the usual
rates for cash subscription, provided, that no
arrears are left unpaid and the subscription be
continued. The printed slip on papers indi-
Gates the time to which subscriptions are
paid. Observe that the date is changed with
in two weeks after making remittances'

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE JAIL.-The heating
apparatus which was put into the Jail at the
time Of its erection not proving Of late entirely
satisfactory, the County Commissioners have
substituted for it Clogstone's self-regulating
low-pressure steam apparatus, and yesterday
the Commissioners made partial examine
ton of its merits, and it is believed that a
practical test will prove it to be all that is de-
sired The boiler is composed of cast-iron
pipes, placed vertically and connected together
in sections. In fifteen minutes after fire of
light wood was kindled the guage showed a
steam pressure Of seven and half pounds The
steam is carried by pipes to or iinary coils and
radiators in tie different galleries of the prison
and the apartments in the iailor's house. All
the returns are carried back to the boiler,
making the consumption of water merely NOM
inal. A valve placed in q small steam-box
connects with the draft-door of the furnace
and damper in the chimney, thus regulating
the fire and governing the consumption of fuel.
1t is a very ingenious invention and requires
but little attendance, and it is believed the
cost of heating the building will be materially
reduced. -
The Commissioners also made, an inspection
of the interior of the prison, and expressed
their satisfaction with its neatness and the
good order and excellent condition of the in

suru.-ope disadvantage of being named

slurH.-one disadvantage of being named
Smith. is seen in the actien of the late Demo-
cratic Convention at Bangor. Inc acknowi-
edged chiefs of the party seem to have been
overtaken by the Generalization which has
pervaded the rank and file for several years
and no one could be found to risk the odium
of leading the flag end of that once powerful
organization, through the pending campaign.
Realizing, apparently, that the Democratic
party, as party, had won no glory in the war
for the preservation of the Union, that the
bayonet of history would connect it with the
solemn declaration that the 'war was fail
ure" that it was destitute of principles, and in
full retreat, they several and collectively de-
clined the intended honor. Then 1t was that
resort to strategy was determined upon, as
the only means of preventing breaking up
without making nomination and watching
its chance, when the victim of these cruel
Vaccinations was temporarily absent from the
hall, the convention, under the skillful man
agement Of its leaders, suddenly sprung a
nomination upon Franklin Smith of Water
vile, and adjourned before he had chance
TO resent it
Why the Smith family should be punished
in this way did not clearly appear at the time,
but it has since transpired that under all the
circumstances of the case the selection of
Smith was considered a political necessity
The members of this family, (said the manipu-
lators of the convention, are like the multi
tudinous waves of the ocean, and whatever Of
diseredit or misfortune may attach to the nom
nation can be more easily borne by the demo-
cratic wing of that numerous family, than by
the democratic members of any other family;
and after the election the General can deny
that he was the man, and his descendants baf-
fie all attempts to prove it, by showing the ut
ter impossibility of Identifying him in such
crowd. Hence it is that Franklin Smith, re-
spectacle citizen of Waterville, called "Gener-
al" for short, and because he didn't 90 to the
war, is the chosen leader of the disheartened
democracy, for the campaign of 1869. 1t il
said that had he been in the hall he would
have declined peremptorily but not being in
the hall he didn't decline at all
Let him console himself with the reflection
that he is not to blame because his name is
Smith; that the nomination sought him in the
most approved style, and that he will hardly
know, after election, whether he was candi-
date or not.

The FIFTH AT THE ROLLING MnLs.-The
celebration at Ligonia passed off very pleas
antly, and afforded great satisfaction to all who
participated. A procession was formed at the
school-house, on the Rolling Mill grounds,
consisting of the workmen with their families
and friends, and proceeded to beautiful grove
on land owned by e. b. Daveis, ESQ.,, and
which he had kindly allowed to be used for
this occasion.
The procession was led by band of about
twenty pieces and looked very prettily as it
made its way among the trees to the appointed
place. John Thomas, Esq, was President of
the day, assisted by number Of Vice Presi-
dents. After music by the band and an ad-
dress of welcome by Mr. Thomas, the Declare
ton of Independence was read by Evan Jones,
Esq. u a
The reader evidently appreciated the noble
words, and the audience listened attentively
to the glorious truths. We have never heard
the Declaration better read. Speeches fol-
lowed by Messrs. Thomas, Perkins, Ricketts,
and others of Lgonia, and Messrs. jackson
and Gerrish of Portland; interspersed with
songs by Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Gardiner and the
children. Cheers were given for "The day we
celebrate" "The Flag" "The Superintendent
and other officers Of the company" and at one
o'clock collation. was furnished, to which all
were invited and to which all did ample justice.
The remainder Of the day was spent in play
ing various games, swinging and general re-
ioicing.

Never dawned on the earth brighter day
than yesterday, and even the masniacent plans
for the ODD Fellows Excursion were almost al
fau,t, so vast was the throng thai pressed its
way to the Portland and Rochester depot to
take part in the promised jubilee. conduc-
tor o. Brien deserves thanks for overcoming the
formidable hindrances in the way OF getting
twelve hundred people to Alfred on time, on
regular train, to say nothing about getting
them slowed away so as to admit of getting
away at all 1t was, by all odds, the largest
excursion of the season, and the trip was made
to Alfred in most excellent time and shape
Arriving at Alfred the excursionists were met
by many hundred of the citizens of the town
and the region round about, and were well
coined by Bro. Larrabee, an old Odd Fellow of
the place, after which the procession was made
up, and, led by the Sanford Brass Band,
marched to Lewis Wood, about one-eighth of
mile from the depst. l..H
At the grove ample preparations were soon
made for popular enjoyment A large dane
ing floor had been constructed already, and
very shortly Chandler was pursuing his ''call-
ing, and a host of young and old folks ming
led right merrily in the dance. A big flag
furnished by our friend Simpson had swell
come in immense letters upon it, and it was
one of the many general indices of the popu-
lar feeling towards the visitors. The citizens
did all in their power to make the visit
pleasant one. They furnished the Band,
swings, ice water by the hid, and were free
pilots to all places of interest. Teams were
sInIk - % 80 70
Shakers, and many hundreds went there. Had
it been the occasion of the opening of the road
or celebration of its own people, it could
hardly have been more enjoyed by them or
been invested with more of local interest. The
grove is peculiarly beautiful 1t is sort Of
natural amphitheatre about the dancing floor
| and two thousand people could well witness
the festivities from the hill sides. Indeed, the
region is pretty all about it, and it can hardly
fail to become notable sojourning place for
Portland people and Portland visitors. We
| must not forget to mention that Barnum was
there in great force and fed the multitude VIII,
were otherwise unprovided for. Everything
was orderly throughout, and on the score Of
quiet, and the utter absence of the rowdy ele
ment, let us commend Alfred to all excursion
goers. The hotels were well patronized, and
at Berrys, where your correspondent was mos
literally provided for, there seemed to be nc
end to solid and savory eatables. AL in all
the occasion was one of rare enjoyment ani
interest, and the Odd Fellows have deserved
the praises they SO widely received for excel
lence of plan and happy fulfIllment of al
things pertaining to their last great annua

The NEW LAKE STEAMER.--A party of gen.
tlemen interested in the new steamer on Seba-
60 Lake went out from this city on Saturday
and gave her q trial trip. They steamed up to
the head of the lake at the foot of 8 ,bago river
and back, averaging twelve knots an hour. In
all regards the trip was most gratifying, the
little craft proving herself to be both staunch
and swift. Everything worked like a charm,
and by the time the bridge at Naples can be
dxed SO that she can 60 under, or rather
through il, her regular trips win commence to
Buxton. We hope the people along the upper
end of the route will see to 1t that there is no
unnecessary delay.
