STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Some of the Trustees of the State Agricul-
tural Society had a conference here yesterday
in regard to the selection of place for the
next fair, but nothing was done, and proposals
from the towns interested are still in order.
There appears now to be insuperable obstacles
in the way, which will put Lewiston out of the
question.
THE THIRD PARTY QUESTION
To might there is a meeting of the State
Temperance Committee, when the question of
third party during the coming campaign will
be discussed and perhaps virtually settled.
Considerable interest centers in this confer
ence. M.

to-day notified the hotel and saloon keepers,
apothecares and liquor dealers, that he should
on and after the 2Oth inst. risidly enforce the
law against the sellers of all liquor or ale. He
is strongly backed by public sentiment, and
the respectable dealers seem generally willing
to submit to the new order of things.

FAST DAY.-The Frenchman who had but
partly mastered English, came to the conclu-
sion that 1t was strange language The word
last puzzled him exceedingly. It's various
meanings were contradictory, and he gave the
word up in disgust. But there are not few
well versed in English who seem to have very
diverse notions of the design of a Fast Day.
Sometimes you find a strict individual who
believes fast" in this connection signifies total
abstinence, and consequently he eats moder
ately or not at all, and places an item on the
debit side of appetite, which is to be balanced
several times over at the annual Thanksgiving.
But others take more popular view of the
word. Fast Day to them is a day of enjoyment
and leisure. They neither sit in sackcloth nor
ashes, nor do they in the least restrain their
appetire. Which is the better celebration we
don't pretend to settle. The day is human
institution, and men think they have right
to consult their own tastes as to the manner
in which they shall keep it,
