Do the people of Augusta and vicinity prop
erly appreciate our railroad facilities? Three
trains day each way between here and Bos-
ton. The managers of tins road surely try
to serve the travelling public. A person can
now take the early train, get into Boston III
season to do about days business, or he can
remain here nearly all day and then reach
Boston. He can go to Portland or any place
on the road. do a days business and return the
same day. The Portland people and those
this side of there can do the same in coming
to this place. Conductor Jewett's train is be-
coming quite popular, and by the way he
makes very popular conductor. He told
US that he had yesterday sixteen through pas
sengers from this place for Boston. NJ.

For several months our city has been ex-
empt from the ravages of the fire king. Dur
ing the protracted season of drouth, when
fires have been raging in the woods and else
where all around us, within the city limits
there has not been even cause for alarm. In
one or two instances, where fires have acci-
dentally caught, they have been checked at
once, by timely pail of water, and without
any outcry. But we cannot hope for the long
continuance of this stage Of things. People
will become careless after a while, a single
spark may be dropped in unguarded mo-
ment, from which the fatal flames may burst
forth to prey upon the property Of our cti-
zens. The facilities for procuring water in
our lower business street are admirable. But
what can be done TO stay the progress of a
large fire on State street, and west Of that! \
reservoir in Court square has long been
needed and asked for, but has not been pro-
vided. Must We pass through the terrible
ordeal of large fire on the hill before proper
water facilities are provided? The expense
of the construction of one reservoir each year
of the capacity of one thousand hogsheads,
would not be felt

Conviction and Sentence of the Lime
Rock &Iank Robbers.


The case of Litchfeld was given to the
Jury to-day at quarter past twelve o'clock,
when the court adj burned. The Jury came
in and rendered verdict of guilty. Litch-
fields counsel gave notice that they should
file exceptions. The physician of Daniels
was examined, and ta stified that Daniels was
not in condition to be brought into court. and
would probably live but n short time. His
case was continued, MS bail being fixed at
the sum originally requested, S25, 900. The
government moved for sentence in the case
of Moore and Hight. The counsel tor
Moore, urged his tranl. statement and good
conduct since his arrest, and his assistance to
the bank officers in recovering its notes and
papers, in mitigation of Ills sentence.
Hight having no counsel was asked if he
had anything to say in his own behalf, and
briefly addressed the coult.-He said that he
and Moore would never have come here if
they had not been induced to do so that
when they arrived they should have gone
away without committing crime, if they had
not been over-persuaded and had endeavored
to give no trouble to officers, since that time
that he had made all the restitution he could ;
that he had already undergone five months
Imprisonment, and that no amount of future
punishment would add to the strength of the
resolution he had formed to lead better
life. He therefore hoped that the court
would be lenient in adjournins his sentence.
In passing sentence the Gov TT drew dis
tinction between the violence OF the Bowdoin-
ham robbery and present cases where there
appeared to be no intention of infiicting any
personal harm to accomplish the robbery,
and where the yigilence of the faithful watch
man might have prevented it.
Moore and Hight were then sentenced to
seven years imprisonment each, and will be
! Immediately committed to the State Prison at
! Thomaston.
The Court room was crowded to its utmost
capacity this afternoon, at least hal: of the au-
dience being ladies.
