damus to compel the Comptroller to pay balance
claimed to be due for the construction Of the Fire
Alarm Telegraph. Tho application was made on
behalf Of Charles o. Chester.
Mr.. Strahan, in opposition to the application,
stated that the papers in the case were very
vouminous, and that he had not yet been able
to give them the examination necessary to equi-
table adjustment OF tine claim presented against the
Under the original agreement the contractors Of the
telegraph were to receive $4,000 but the bills had
swelled up to twice this sum. OF this amount the
$l9S,OOO still due. He did not impute anything
wrong to the other side, but 1t was absolutely ne
cessary on behalf OF the Comptroller that time should
be allowed to examine thoroughly the accounts
Mr.. Hutchings, who appeared for Mr.. Chester,
strenuously opposed any further delay. The case
had been pending since last October. There had
been plenty Of time to examine all the papers. No
legal or moral objection on the part Of living soul
had been made against the payment OF the sum
claimed. The plaintiff had paid out the money
from his own pockets, he needed the money and
was fairly entitled to It, and there was no reason
anxious to avoid an appIicaon for mandams
against the Comptroller, but they had been driven
to 1t.
Mr. strahan hoped the matter might be settled
without mandamus IT the affidavts were salts
factory the thing would be settled without coming
again into court.
The Judge asked Mr. Strahan when he would be
ready to go on with the case
Mr.. Strahan said he would be ready by Thursday
or Friday.
The Judge said he would give him till Friday and
he hoped they could settle the matter without fur

The loungers about the city market of San
Francisco were astonished the other day, by
the sudden apparition of little boy, wrap
ped in flames and SC roaming dismaly. No
sooner was he put out than second boy,
likewise burning fiercely, rushed on the scene
and demanded to be extinguished. He, in
turn, was followed after a few minutes, by
third flaming boy, and the whole spectators
abandoned themselves to the belief that a
general coniagration of the small boys of
San Francisco was in progress. They waited,
however, in vain for any further burning
boys, and finally ascertained that the three
boys who had so astonished them bad picked
up three separate sticks of phosphorus and
placed them in their respective pockets, in
which warm receptacle the phosphorus had
burst into flames. These particular burnt boys
will doubtless hereafter dread phosphorus,
but it need not be supposed that their fate
will deter other boys from confiscating and
hiding in their pockets every bit of phos-
phorus which many fall within their reach.

Model Farm.

To the Editor of the Press
wish to make suggestion through the
columns Of your paper. The State owns
some hundred acres of the best land in the
county of Cumberland, in which is built the
State Reform buildings. This land is cultivat-
ed and stocked as well as the limited appro-
priatons will admit. The affairs of the in
stitution aud farm are well managed, so we
are led to believe. This farm can be made a
school for others, than phom the po,cers that
Be, intended Let the State make a, liberal
appropriation to be devoted exclusively to the
improvement of the farm; if not underdrain-
ed according to the best system, let that be
done; if there is a lack of manure, procure
the necessary implements, and means of
transportation for sea dressing. The farm is
accessible by the way of the sea- where plef-
ty of muscles and sea weed can be had with
out money or price ;by procuring scow and
skipper;twenty-five cords of rock weed can
be procured in one tide. The boys of the in
sHtution would jump at the chance for a
sail down the harbor and pull the weed from
the rocks by that means the farm could be
made to produce large quantities of hay. On
the light land, muscles could be very easily
procured by the farm hands by the means of
the scow and some shoveers to load. As for
cattle let the best breed of milk cows
be procured, the latest improvements
in their management be introduced.
But so far as horse breeding to any extent,
we are Of the opinion that the number of
f,&l toI
vantage; but if it should be judged expedi-
ent that that department should be kept up
equal to the best conducted breeding establish
ment, other acres could be added for pastur-
age. There is land well adapted to raising
apples and pears; other land is suitable for
gardening purposes. If we had such, hardly
farmer who visited Portland, but would
visit the grounds and see where he could i'm
prove on his own. Many of the thousand
visitors who come to Portland in the summer
for pleasure, would ride out and see what
can be done at farming in Maine, and when
they returned to their fireside would relate
the pleasant impressions they received on
their visit to the surroundings of the State
Reform School.
Last summer while trampiBg through the
Annapolis valley, which is the garden of
Nova Scotia, we were frequently inquired of
where they could see the best stock in Maine
and the many Improvements of the age in
farming and find some of the best stock for
sale. We had to refer then to Gen. W. S.
Tilton Of Togus, government institution,
who by the way is nearer the age, than any
one that l have seen in the New England
States. "Was there any place near Port
land?' We could not say truthfully there was

The night is calm. the ,ky is clear,

The night is calm, the sky is clear;
The birds are silent, and the flowers,
Fresh with the heavy summer dew,
Dream out the solitary hours.
Then, still be every whisper, lest
The sleep of any living thing
Be broken, for in every breast
Some little world is habi,ing.
The lark dreams of the coming light
And sings and scars in the pure air;
The flowers interpret their delight,
With their sweet odors everywhere.
Oh! endless worlds, both great and small!
Oh! mighty depths of heaven and space,
Into my heart take ye all,
And give to all a resting place.
Thy eyes are fill'd with tears, although
A doublo sense of peace and rest
Makes all my senses to o'erflow
With love for all things that exist
Bat now the stars wax pale; and soft
The daylight comes, Yet dream and seepi
The sky is blue, and clear aloft-
And my hearts peace is calm aud deep.
