About Some Excursions.

Why can we not have some excursions
down the pleasant river this season? l think
that an excursion once a week to Boothbay,
and well patronized by our citizens. The
want is felt more by those who are unable to
remain from home over night, but who would
like much to have day of rest and recreation
occasionally Such excursions should leave
Augusta much earlier in the morning than
they have usually done. All who really care
for anything of the kind be ready to start at
six o'clock, thus sailing down the river during
the most pleasant part of day, and gaining
more time for pleasure at the sci shore.

War Items.
Cable dispatches state that the English
government refuses to allow any officers of
the British army to join the Prussian head
quarters as newspaper correspondents
The London Times engaged Captain
Heseler their reporter of the Sadowa cam
paign as correspondent, and the Prussian
Generals were willing and desirious to have
claim, but Her Majesty's government, says
the Times, appears to have been seized with
sudden alarm, and it was especially made a
Cabinet question, and the Cabinet decided
to refuse permission in fear lest the Emperor
might think i'll of it. Messrs. Gladstone
and Cardwell are said to be the authors of
the resolution, and they are not spared by
the Thunderer.
A London Special, in its account of the
debate in the House of Lords yesterday, says
that in his remarks asking the government
to pledge themselves to protect Belgium,
Lord John Lussell said that he believed that
if allowed, France would occupy Antwerp.
England's extension as great power would
follow.
Earl Granville in reply, asked the country
to permit the government TO choose Its own
time to make a declaration; but he informed
the House that the government understood
its duty to preserve the independence OF Bel
gium without MANAGING any power. England
would not withdraw from that position.

progress toward actually demonstrating the

disinclinaton toward mice, untidiness or late
hours and immortality, the solemn sentence

ment chosen by which to send poor pussy out

the appointed moment, kitty was inveigled
into an ambush, and while meekly adding a
few touches to her toilet, the fearful revolver

rowing a musket that has done service in the

blaze away at her again. The reverberations
of the discharge died away, and pussy again
disappeared in streak. "This time"
thought the musketeer, ''the varmint is no

fair degree Of pride and satisfaction he an

Among the things we most need in

Among the things we most need in
our village, is good hotel. Nothing
would do so much to attract travellers,
pleasure seekers and sojourners as good
commodious hotel. In short we can
never expect any of either of this class,
to tarry with us, even for a day, until
we provide at least, a tolerable stopping
place. We would inquire whether it is
not a matter of sufficient importance to
attract the attention of our business men
and, if SO, whether it would not be well
to take some preliminary steps to erect
or cause to be crested such building,
or buildings as would be suitable to
meet the demands of the place. If we
wait for private enterprise to do it, this
generation will pass away, and, doubt
less, a succeeding one. long before il
will be done,.
