The valuation of Sagadahoc has increased dur

further and says:
Another reason urged is that we should be

are in Cumberland. That is true; but we are
reasonably well situated in that respect as we
now are. We are within little more than one
hours ride of the Court House in Portland.

tions. Our county records are all in Portland,
aud in case we were annexed to Sagadahoc we
should suffer serious Inconvenience for long
term of years from having our county seat in
one place and all our past records iu another,
and besides, our business connections are with
Portland rather than with Bath; aud large
portion of our county business may be done
and is done when visiting Portland for other
purposes.
The citizens of Brunswick now have much
easier access to their county seat than the peo.
pie OF other towns generally have; and the rate
of taxation is lower in Cumberland than the
average rate in the other counties throughout
the State, and, unless there are other reasons
for desiring change which l have not heard
suggested, and that have not occurred to nv
own mind, think it much the wiser course to
remain as we are rather than try the doub tful
expedient of annexation to Sagadahoc.

To Editor Of TIE Press:


noticed in the PRESS few days ago an ar
tcle referring to a certain mean act which
transpired on Commercial St., and it brought
to mind the following true story: A certain
man trading on certain wharf in this city,
entered we'll known stove store OF Exchange
street for the purpose of purchasing an iron
kettle. The senior partner, only. was present
at the transaction, and, after some conversa-
ton &C ncerning the size, price, &C., of the
kettle, the dealer made the would-be purchas-
er present of the kettle, as be had suffered
by fire, which he accepted gladly. But upon
reaching home, he found it was too large to
suit his purpose, and no carried it back to get
a smaller one. The junior partner was now
present, who thought the man had bought the
kettle. The man took up smaller one, and
asked what would be the difference in price,
oe'"een the two, and was told about twenty
nVe cents. WELL" says the man, 'Ill take
'"e smaller one and 1.-THE taoenty file cents too!'

In our last musical notices we had not given

and enjoyed it. His theme is simple and har-

graceful. It is, we think, destined to become
extremely popular for players of both common
and superior ability, for the former of which it
is not too difficult or for the latter too simple.
