From New Hampshire.

Concord, N. H., In the afternoon session OF
the House, Mr.. Wadleigh Of Milford in the
chair, notices of intent to introduce bills con-
tinued to pour in. protest against the seat
of Convers Gage, republican, of Sutton, was
presented. Severed railroad returns were
made. Judge N. i. Smith presented on
leave a resolution requiring the Judiciary
Committee to report by bill or otherwise. for
more liberal provision for widows by dover,
whose husbands die possessed of real estate.
As the statute now is, the widow has only
the right of dover in homestead or cultivated
land, or wooded lands connected Herewith,
and not wild lands located apart. This he
proposed to remedy by right of dover in all
real estate, also to extend to the homestead
exemption the same principle that was re-
stricted to widows and minor children, to
five hundred dollars in homestead alone.

WESTBROOK SEMINARY.

The annual examination of Westbrook
Seminary commenced on Monday. The ex-
ercises displayed the usual high standard of
scholarship attained by he pupils, and were
extremely interesting on both days.
On Tuesday evening at o'clock, the Ero-
nathan Adelphi Society held an open ses-
sion in the Seminary chapel. The room was
full of interested listeners. The literary
exercises of the evening consisted of de-
bate, the reading of paper, and declama-
ton. The debate was upon the question
''ls the Roman Catholic church the most
dangerous foe now threatening the perpetuity
of our republican institutions?" The lead
ing disputants were Jordan of Lincolnville
for the affirmative, and Swasey of Standisl
for the negative, followed by Bates of Som
erset Mills and Chase of Buckfield on the
side of the former, and by Pierce and Nor
rison of Pennington on the side of the lat
ter.
The roll was called for the ayes and nays
of the Society, the vote being upon the mer-
its of the question. 1t resulting in ''tie'
the President gave the casting vote in favor
of the Affirmative. Many of the points in
this debate were well made, some were quite
original and strong, and considerable skill
was manifested in answering arguments.
"Our opponents" were more than once I'M
mercifully demolished. The reading of the
paper was well done by Miss Mary A. Sto-
well of Canton, as member of the present
graduating class. Some witty things were
said in this, at the expense of boys, senti-
mental lovers and old maids. The last ex.
ercise was the recitation of 1.-THE Rum Man
iac," by Pride of Portland. This was well
performed.

From Washington.

Washington, June Is. The Agricultural
Department estimates the reduction of cotton
acreage as compared with last year, nearly 10
per cent, equivalent to a million and one
third acres, leaving the present acreage from
seven and half to eight millions. The in
sured crop can not exceed three and a half
million bales, and may fall to three millions
under a combination of unfavorable crcum-
stances. The condition of the growing plants
is below the average in nearly every State.
The spring has been wet and cold, retarding
the growth, causing many plants to turn yell
low and die, and obstructing cultivation. A
large amount of re-planting has filed the
vacant space of imperfect stands. The
weather recently has been more favorable,
and it is not impossible that an average con-
dition may be obtained by the commence
ment of the packing season. The condition
in 1869, a year favored with an abundant
yield, was only little better than the sowing
of June this year, while the prospect is slight
ly improving. There is nothing in it of de-
cisve character.

Letter from Wateryille.

VAUDEVILLE, June 18th, 1871.
The marble cut of the Lion of Lucerne, of
which some account has been given in the
papers, has at last arrived, and is now being
placed in the Memorial Hall. 1t is an expen-
sive and substantial piece Of work. 1t cost
50 600. and its weight is between three and
four tons. 1t is to be placed in the centre of
the wall on the east side of the Hall and
raised from the floor so that the marble tablet,
containing the names of those who fell, can
be placed directly under it. The whole is a
work of beautiful design and fully comes up
to the expectation of those who have spent so
much labor and time in obtaining it.
Those who were students in Waterville Col
lege from 80 to 60 will remember well the old
general who was janitor at that time, Charles
Martell. After lapse of ten years he has
returned to pay a short visit to Waterville,
from his home in Canada. A brief history of
the general will not be uRinteresting to any.
He was born at Brussels the 22nd day of Feb
ruary 1900, which makes him now seventy
one years old. He was one of the 10000
boys from the age of ten to fifteen which
made up the army school styled the King of
Romes guard. 1t will be remembered that
this King of Rome, so called, was the infant
son of Naoleon l, and only one year old at
the time when this army of 10000 boys was
formed. The gen eral saw Napoleon in 1918
in Brussels when he was on his way to Ant
werpt, and at the time of the battle of Water
loo in 1916 he was sufficiently near to hear
the cannon roar. After leaving home he fol-
lowed the sea some twenty years and then
came to this country. That was about the
time of war in Mexico. He joined the army
and staid in it till the war closed. In 1852 he
came to Waterville and was employed for ten
years as janitor of the College, and served
faithfully. AS token Of their regard the
students few days ago made up purse, and
gave it to him, and the faculty of the College
have furnished him with new suit of clothes.
He will return to his home in Canada much
cheered by his visit to the scene of his former
labor To the students he has ever been a
volume of History, full of stories of Napo-
leon and his wars. KAPPA.
