| there are many methods of building drains
and sewers, which we have not now time to
specify, but whether this be made of stone,
or tile, or any other material, places should
be provided for the admission of side drains
from the cellars and outhouses of residences
in the vicinity. The vast amount of capital
which is yearly expended in drainage, from
the surface, furrow-drain, to the deep under
drain, attests in the strongest possible terms,
its utility and necessity. Municipalities join
with private individuals in the wo rk, as it is
becoming to be considered sanitary meas
ure and means ofpublic security and safety.
We have no doubt that the owners of the

The condition of Mexico appears to be

Inc revolution has grown more formidable,

Late information from South Carolina
shows that finances of that State are in much
worse condition than heretofore reported. 1t
appears now that under every act authorizing

issue of half million, and under the act Of
1868, for the relief of the treasury, there
were duplicate issues, making an amount
double that anticipated by the people. The

worse. Suits are to be brought against all
parties implicased in these over issues.

of the foray upon the pits sheep, was at
home where honest dogs ought to be, that he
was old and toothless and incapable of doing

of Abraham, specially adapting his subject to
the young, and showing that the patriarch's
success in all his undertakings could be
traced back to his obedience to the call of
the Almighty, when the command was given
him to ego forward" The character of
Abraham as prince, judge, warrior,
statesman and christian man was exhibited
in clear light, the truth illustrated that his
obedience was the ground work and founda-
ton of his intellectual strength and ventur-
Gus faith, and that to all the call daily comes
to ego forward" likewise. There was large
attendance of young ladies and gentlemen on

About 10 o'clock yesterday fornoon fire
caught in the room of the large wooden ma
chine shop at the dam occupied by Mr.. L.
w. Grafton, cabinet maker. The fire was
caused by the friction of circular saw,
which was boxed up, and communicated to
the shavings and saw dust inside. A man
working at lathe, noticed the smoke issuing
from the vicinity of the saw, and soon the
whole room was filed. Two pals of water
were at hand, but these checked the flames
but temporarily. Soon after the alarm the
workmen at the dam had four lengths of hose
extending from the hydrant close by, the
force pump set in motion, and soon the room
was flooded with water and the fire put out
The fire was confined to the saw frame and
the timbers and flooring overhead. The loss
to the Messrs. Sprague, owners of the build
ing, is trivial; but the principal loss falls
upon Mr.. Grafton, who had considerable ma
chinery thrown about and broken, gearing
disarranged, and some fine seasoned lumber
greatly damaged. He is insured for $500
on machinery and fixtures, in the Union Com
pany, Bangor, which we think will fully
cover the loss, but about $500 worth of lum-
Der is destroyed ON which there is no insur-
ance. Messrs. Parrott, Bradbury & Co., had
about thousand bushels ofcorn stored in the
first story under Grafton's shop. This is dam
aged by the water, and will probably have to
be taken out and dried. Loss covered by in
surance in the Etna. Baker & Long fellow,
in the shop next north, are slightly damaged
by the water. Had it not been for the ad-
mirable facilities for furnishing water, the
entire building would have shared the same
fate that the old one did few winters ago.
The fire department of the city were on hand
with their engines, but the water-works at
the dam were all sufficient for the occasion.

into Jail in this city the other night, and on

as he wanted to pay for his nights lodging

him eight dollars and some odd cents (the
usual fine) which the guest paid and depart

high.
