MAINE BOARD OF AGRICUL TURE.
FARMERS CONVENTION.
LINCOLN, SEPT. 81, 1871.
THURSDAY FORENOON SESSION.

| THURSDAY FORENOON SESSION.
Alta special meeting of the Board this morn
| ing a resolve was passed regretting the alb
sence of representative of the Maine Farm
er from the Convention. The question of the
next annual session of the Board was also
taken up and discussed. The session will be
held at Paris in Oxford county, about the
middle of next January.
The first paper read before the Convention
was on "the saving and application of man.
ures," by Mr.. Adams of Franklin county.
This was thoroughly discussed, and the next
question taken up was what shall we do for
our stubble fields where the grass seed did
not catch? The general idea seemed to be
that it was best to sow on seed this fall, with
out blowing, at as late day as possible be-
fore the ground closes up.
President Allen of the College, presented
a resolve thanking the citizens of Lincoln, in
behalf of the officers of the College, for the
Inequalities of the occasion.
Hon. j. w. Porter of Burlington, occupied
the chair during the session.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The first subject was a paper on "Clean
cultivation" by Col. SWEET Of Oxford county.
He strongly recommended clean culture and
in hoed crops, frequent STRINGS.
Resolutions were passed expressing regret
at the retirement of Calvin Chamberlain Esq.
Of Foxcroft, who has been member for if
teen years. Also thanking the citizens OF
Lincoln for their attentions and endeavors to
make the session pleasant one.
CLOSING SESSION.
The closing session in the evening was very
well attended, Subject Fruit Culture. A
collection of pears by Mr.. Goodale of Saco,
comprising twenty varieties, was text for
quite a lecture on pears by that gentleman.
He favors standards and condemns dwarfs.
He referred to the pear seedlings of Mr.. Nc
Laughlin of Bangor, as very valuable and
promising varieties.
The discussion was continued during the
evening, the latter part being devoted to APP
Piles. Among the speakers were Messrs.
Goodale, Sweet, Hersey, Caldwell of Sher-
man, Adams, Thing, Bracket and others.
After a complimentary vote to the Presi-
dent, the Convention adjourned sine die.

THE MASSACHUSETTS, STATE COW
VENTTON

The result of the Massachusetts republic
can State convention to be holden at Wor-
cester tomorrow, will be looked for with
a good deal of interest by those outside OF,
az well as those within the State limits. The
campaign for the nomination has been
more animated, we venture to say, than
will be the regular party campaign If
Buffers fight has not been dignified, it
has been earnest, and made the sparks fly.
1t is claimed by the opposition to him that
a large majority of the delegates elected
are Of the anti Butler stripe, but he having
taken possession of all the halls and brass
bands in Worcester. and brought his Es-
sex phalanx into action, his antagonists
are not certain what "a day may bring
forth" If the town is not captured to-
NIGHT there will no virtue in noise and
buster. OF one thing Butler can boast
after the strife is over, that he stirred Mas
sachusetts as the State never was stirred
before over nomination, and that he
based his hopes of success rather upon the
attacks of the newspapers and the better
informed class of people, than upon their
support. His tactics have been new; so
was his gunpowder scheme. After all, it
is not who can make the most noise in
politics, but who can reach the highest
honors, that is the test of success. If stir
ring the elements were the measure OF
success, General Butler would be the hap
piest man in Worcester tomorrow even
ing; but with all his lashing of foes and
din of brass bands we don't believe he
will receive the nomination. His only
chance is in the mistakes of those who
are against him at heart but not agreed
upon the man to oppose him.

people of Augusta are indebted to Judge
| Rice for the location of the State Capital in
their midst to-day, and yet under the lead of
Mr. Blaine whose business interests and in
vestInents are located in other States, un-
der the influence of such shallow appeals as
that which we are now considering, a majori-
ty of the voters of Augusta, again and again
refuse to honor Judge Rice with seat in that
Capital and elect over him, in one instance at
least, a man, whose only qualification, appa-
rently, was blind subserviency to Blaine's
political interests. Like the old woman who,
fascinated by the antics of showman's mon
key dressed in cap and bells, forsook her
home, husband and children to follow him in
his dubious travels, a majority of our citizens
turn their backs upon those who have done
the most for them and their interests, and fol-
low and dance attendance upon political
charlatan whose business interests are else
where and in many respects adverse to theirs,
and who in all probability, will go where his
interests are, whenever our people refuse to
be used as stepping stones to accomplish the
qualification of his inordinate ambition.
This is pathetic; it ought TO soften
hearts OF stone. But the truth is, that the
difficulty is not with the republicans but
with Judge Rice, A. a man and citizen
they respect him, but his politics they OBJ
.lect to, and have the same right To express
that objection at the polls as he has to vote
for men of his politics and choice. He is
very good man with very bad politics.
THAT'S what's the matter" Republicans
exercise the right to vote against him, and
hence the tears of the Standard. Ifthey
had endeavored to blast his private char
acter, to spread broadcast falsehoods
about his private affairs. as the Standard
clique have about Mr.. Blaine, there might
be some reason for complaints and indig-
nation.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1871-09-26
"CORROBORATION."

The Standard has very singular notion
of the word Confederation" 1t says in a
recent article in relation to the letter of
Col. Osgood concerning the First Nation
al Bank matter; "Col. O.'s statement
substantially corroborates ours heretofore
made.n
The manner in which the letter corrobo-
rates the statement of the Standard is as
follows
The Standard says the note was for the
sum of $500; Col. Osgood says the
amount was $1360.S0.
The Standard says Mr.. Blaine went to
the First National Bank and got the mon
ey on the note; Col. Osgood says he him
self went and got the money.
The Standard says Mr.. Blaine went on
the morning of election in September and
obtained the money at the Bank to buy
votes with; Col. Osgood says he himsell
went on the 18th of November following
the election and obtained the money,
which could not very well be used at that
date to buy voters for the election past
and gone in September.
Now this is what the Standard calls cor
roborating its statements. The most OF
people would use a different phrase.
When the Standard can take such rebuffs
as those contained in the letter of Colonel
Osgood, and call them good. exposing its
falsehood so that even the friends of the
Standard have no apology to offer, it mus,
be very.much in the condition of the man
who when another spit in his face AFFECT
ly thanked him for it.

THE STANDARD COMFORTING 1T
SELF

Since the overwhelming defeat of the
democracy on the New Departure plat
form urged upon its party by the Stand
ard, that paper is looking about for COM
fort in various directions.
OF course the principal resource is to
abuse Mr.. Blaine. His speech before
election is thought good enough two
weeks after election to be served up again
and made the text for invidious compare
sons between him and Judge Rice. At
one breath it denies that the railroad bust
ness has increased in this city, and at the
next owns that it has. In order to make
a point against ''radical" rule, it denies
the gain in railroad business then in Or
der to exalt Judge Rice above Mr.. Blaine,
it declares that the railroad business has
increased, and the Judge, not the Speak
er, is entitled to the credit of it. Waxing
warm in the cause of Judge Rice 1t claims
for him the credit of keeping the Capital
here and Of doing divers and sundry other
things to promote the prosperity of the
city of Augusta, none of which are laid
down in the books, and for which he ought
to be elected to the Legislature Then it
triumphantly asks what has Mr.. Blaine
done for Augusta!
Well, we find that Mr.. Blaine pays a tax
here upon S8l3.30 We also find that
Judge Rice pays a tax upon S546.12. If
Mr.. Blaine has Arkansas bonds, Judge
Rice has bonds of the North Pacific. Real
~ we don't know why either is the worse
Tor owning an interest in property else
where, but then the Standard can probably
explain. Of the influence of Judge Rice
upon the Capital question, that is capital
joke. Belonging to minority that has
not had influence enough in the legislature
for the last sixteen years to carry the
smallest measures, how rich to boast that
he has carried the Capital in his breaches
pocket all that time And when he sees
that he is credited with doing great deal
for the establishment of railroad work
shops here under consolidation, while h
knows that these are to be removed Il
Waterville by his consent, will he laugl
or swear? After laundering on in thi
way in its efforts to console itself, the
Standard utters the following lamentatior
and reads the republicans the accompany
ing lecture for not supporting Judge Rice.
1t may almost be said with truth that the

may crafty your ambition for life in the
woods and hunting to any extent Parties arc
coming and going quite constantly-the most
of whom would have better luck with long

guides are very useful even to fishing parties.
They can put in order a rod or line, mend a

paddle, row, or handle sails, lead you into
the forest to game and back again, or take

and central figure. 1t is assembled frequently

forests, lakes, rivers and scattered settlements
1t is worth a journey te look upon the view
presented. Beside the sojourners at the
Kineo House, there are many parties who
take their tents and camp out for weeks, en-
joying the time greatly. 1t is surprising to
see on the way to and from the Lake the
travellers bound for this paradise of sports.

fishing and hunting, pure air, and communion
with Nature in her primitive form, there is
Moosehead Lake. For many years it has
been favorite resort for those who knew its
advantages, but no efforts have been made to
spread knowledge of its attractions, which
have only come into notice in hap-hazard

THE LAKE.

As is very well known to the most of our
readers, the Kennebec river has its source in
Moosehead Lake. The Lake is forty miles in
length and eighteen miles wide in the widest
part. There are many small islands in it
which serve to conceal its actual breadth, but
it has clear broad channel from end to end,
in which large steamers may navigate with
abundance of room and water. 1t extends
north nearly to the forty-sixth degree north
latitude, and lies but few miles east of the
Canada line.
