AUTUMx.-We Wednesday the 22duh., marked
the termination of Summer and the begin
ming of Autumn. Already the Maple, Lo-
cust Ash and various other trees begin to
put on their Autumnal glories of bright yell
low, brilliant scarlet and every shade of color
from dark green to russet and brown. The
wild Aster with its purple disk waves gaily
in the woodland pastures and the Golden rod
mods its yellow plumes in the Autumnal
breeze. The sombre pines in their peren.
nial verdure, on the mountain side, alone
preserve the cheerful green of Summer. Au.
tumn with her gorgeous hues has set her
mark upon every hill side and worked a
mosaic Of such surprising beauty as artists
pencil may never essay to initiate All the
rich promises of the year are now fulfilled.
The golden harvests are gathered in, the
ripe luscious fruits hang from the loaded
boughs or cumber the bosom of mother earth
in rich profusion. The gay blossoms of
Springs promises, uurtlred by summer sun
sunshine and shower, have ripeDed and
poured in the lap of Autumn an abundant
fruition of all earth's delicious luxuries.
Welcome Autumn Though poets have sung
of your melancholy days, they are of the sad
sweet kind that all enjoy, for you bring to US
the promises and hopes of the year fulfilled
and realized and promise US good cheer and
happy fresides the whole long winter through.

How ARE You MMNEl-The Gazette was
blowing last week about the Democratic gains
in Maine, but as that sheet is addicted to
publishing falsehoods prior to an election, in
order to influence its party, We give the true
state of affairs. The Republican majority is
Il, ,266 aud the total vote is 93, s20 In 1868
the Republican majority was 10, 342 and the
whole vote I29, ,8G6. Now it is easily seen
that the total vote of the State is sc, ,O46 less
this year than last Had the vote been as
full this year as last, and the strength of the
parties in the same proportion as they now
are, the Republican majority would stand "a,
GOO, or an increase of about 1000 over last
year. As it stands now, the Republican ma
jority over the copperheads this year is
Twenty per cent. more than it was in 1868.
Iftbe Gazette arithmetician or any other
eopperhead can cipher any consolation from
these statistics he is better drilled in hocus-
pocus than Republicans or Democrats sup.
pose him to be.
