The Boston Advertiser correspondent says ::
From Illinoi S, from Missouri, from several
southern cities, there has been an importing
to-day which our New England reformers re-
gard with Amusement and disgust. Unsuc-
cessful adventures, carpet baggers who have
lost credit and character with their new con-
stituencies, traders in politics, who have
squandered their capital and have nothing but
sheer impudence left to put into the new con-
Germ, have sprung up in numbers threatening
to overslaught the authors of the movement,
and force them a: the start into the ruts which
they were most anxious to avoid. This af-
ternoon and evening the different delegations
are holding conferences in the hope of agree
ing upon some compromise which may avert
disaster. We shall hear from them later, but
at the present moment the wisest men in the
movement are anxious and confess that the
chances of failure are unpleasantly promi-
nent. None but the pronounced free-traders
care straw for the platform. The Greeley
men are particularly flexible about it, and
| seem willing to take anything in exchange
for recognition in the organization of the
convention, as the assignment of positions on
the general ticket. Nothing so cowardly has
appeared in the trading of the last forty eight
hours as the surrender of the Greeley in
terest on this point. They have not the
ghost of a chance of carrying single State
delegation honestly made up for Mr. Greeley
or anybody holding his views, and they have
allowed Mr.. Wells to write the revenue
plank of their platform, which will be in sub
stance repetition of the Missouri resolution
with ambiguity enough to give sensitive pro-
tectionists an apology for accepting it. For
convention called in the interest of public
purity, to be composed of men who never de-
sired an office and would not take one if they
could help it, the preliminary gatherings to-
day have been a burlesque of the first water.
Another day may change all this, but at
present there are clouds overhead and at all
points of the horizon which may at any mo-
ment break into storm. From a COMPARE
son of notes by those who have kept the run
of things, it appears tonight that Of pledged
delegates Adams has the largest number, Da-
Wis next, Trumbull third, Greeley fourth,
New York and Pennsylvania not counted.
If the combination is finally made on one of
these, it is thought that Trumbull would
command the field.

IMMED1ArELr.--If every family knew the
value ofMiss Sawyer's Salve, they would i'm
mediately purchase box and never be with
out it. If your Druggist is ont of this Salve
and neglects to keep supplied, send seventy
five cents as directed in another column, and
say you saw the advertisement in this paper.
Not among the least of the Invaluable prop
critics of Miss SAwYER's SALvE are its bene-
fetal effects on the hair. Rubbed on the
scalp in five or six different parts it promotes
the growth of the hair, prevents its turning
gray, and on bald spots, it produces a new
growth of hair. No lady should be without
this invaluable article as an indispensable
cosmetic for the toilet. 1t eradicates dandrufI
and disease from the head, and blotches and
and pimples from the face. tft

HaHOwell Social Library.

The Hallowell Social Library is one of the
most valued and useful institutions of that
community. 1t has existed now for more than
quarter Of a century, and maintains still
growing prosperity and usefulness. The col
lection of books now amounts to about five
thousand volumes, and these for the most
part are the best works in the several classes
of literature. Among the more modern pro-
auctions there are the histories of Motley,
Froude and Merivale. The philosophical es-
sayests are represented by such writers as
Taine, Lecky, Spencer and Muller. The story
of recent travel in Arctic and Equatorial re-
gions is told by Hayes, Orion, Knox and 9TH
ers. There is good selection from that large
class of works through which men of science
have made their learning popular. Wood and
Fiquier on Natural History, and Tyndall's
Lectures are examples of these. The de-.
partment of Biography has received a due
share Of attention, and embraces many of the
best recent works. The large proportion Of
books in what is deemed solid literature speaks
well for the taste of the patrons Of the Library,
but the popular appetite for lighter fare is not
forgotten, as is shown by the shelves occupied
by fiction and poetry. A well filed depart
ment of Juvenile literature attracts young
readers, who form no inconsiderableI roportion
of the patrons of the institution. The Libra
ry is under the direction of limited number
af shareholders; but the use of it is open to
all upon the easy terms of aquarterly fee of
fifty cents. 1t would be hard to find a way
in which so small payment opens the way
to so ample privilege. A small income from
permanent funds, together with the taxes
from shareholders and subscribers, allows
regular additions to be made to the Library.
Occasionally, also, the ladies Of Hallowell
arrange Fair or Festival for its benefit
There is thus steady growth. The accom-
has generously donated to it a large amount
of labor. An elaborate catalogue, together
with an admirable system of numbering makes
the collection of books very accessible. The
chief thing now wanted by the Library is a
special building. A portion of the money
required for this purpose is already in hand.
Here is good opportunity for some citizen
or native of the place to distinguish himself
by the gift Of the one or two thousand dol
lars still wanting What better memorial of
himself can man leave? The results Of a
well chosen popular library are very marked.
1t gives to community tone Of intelligence
and culture, while it is powerful auxiliary
of moral influences. All citizens ought to
| foster such an institution and enlarge its
sphere. 1t is a wise expenditure which main
tains and opens to wide use good collection
of books. They are our wisest teachers and
most delightful companions.

DEAD OR DYING.-Where the hair is unnat-
turally dry, you may be sure that it is dying
and unless artifcially vitalized, it will soon be
as dead as leaves in November. Feed the
whitening fibers and stimulate tho torpid scalp
with Lyons Kathairon, and the evil which
must otherwise soon eliminate in badness,
will be speedily remidied. 1t is absolutely
necessary for the health of the brain, that it
be kept moderately moist with preparation
capable of nourishing and invigorating it.
Lyons's Kathairon fulfils these conditions, and
is the only article that actually puts life into
the capillary tubes, through which the natural
nourishment has ceased to pass. This pure
and harmless vegetable preparation is alb
sorbed by the skin of the head to the roots of
the hair, and passes into the filaments by the
force of capillary attraction. apl3Ot&wlw

ABORTION of Mr.. Nye's large family of child
rem took May Day stroll into the woods yes
terday, for the purpose of recreation and in
quest of the fragrant, modest trailing arbutus.
The promises of a warm and sunny day were
not very numerous, but the little folks of the
Cold Water Temple turned out to the number
of 420, and marched in procession from their
headquarters at Meoniah Hall to the woods in
rear of the State House. As the children
marched down State street, two abreast,
dressed in their "best bib and tucker" carry
ing their baskets filled with refreshments,
they presenteda very beautiful and hopeful ap-
pearance. The procession reached from the
Episcopal Church to the house of Geo. F.
Potter, Esq. The time was very pleasantly
spent in the woods, and the children return
ed delighted with their days enjoyment. A
visit was made to the State House. Brief
remarks were made to the children in the
rotunda, by Hon. Warren johnson, and Mr.
Nye. The children cheered the battle flags
bravely.

The South China fire has brought to mind

The South China FIRE has brought to mind
a curious circumstance. About twenty-six
years ago, Howard G. Abbot, Esq, of North
Vassalboro', built a house in South China,
and was about to be married, and occupy it as
his home, when it caught fire and was burnt
to the ground. The marriage day was post
poned, another house built in the same place,
but, strange to say, this also took fire and
was burnt, The nuptials were then consum-
mated without waiting for any more house
building or fiery trials. At the fire last Sat
urday morning, one of the heaviest losers was
a brother of the Mr.. Abbot we have referred
to. Ambrose H.,) whose house and store
stood very near the spot occupied by the two
dwellings that were consumed.
