To TIGHTEN WINDOW SAsIIEs. The
most convenient way to prevent loose
HiEdow sashes from rafting when the
VIM blows. is to make four one sided but
tons of wood, and screw them 10 the
stops which are nailed 90 the face castings
OF the window. making each button of
proper length TO press the side OF the
sash outwards when the end of the button
is turned down horizontally. The but
tons operate like cam. BY having them
of the correct length to crowd the sash
outwards. the sash will not only be held
SO firmly that it cannot rattle. but the
crack which admitted dust and cold air
will be closed SO tightly that no window
strips will be required The buttons
should be placed about half way from the
upper TO the lower end of each stile of the
sashes.

Sword and Plow.

There was once count, - I've heard it sid
Who felt that his end drew near;
And he called his sons before his bed
To part them his goods and gear
He called for his plow, h. called for his sword.
That gallant, good and brave;
They brought him both at their fathers word,
And thus be his blessings gave:
MY first-born son, my pride and might.
DO thou my sword retain;
My castle on the lordly height.
And all my broad domain.
ION thee, my well-loved younger boy.
Nv plow | here bestow,
peaceful life shalt thou enjoy.
In the quiet vale below
Coutented sank the sire to rest.
Now all was given away;
The sons held true his last behest.
Zen on their dying day.
Now tell US what, came Of the eteel Of dane.
OF the castle and its knight;
And tell us what, came Of the vsle 80 tame.
And the humble peasant wight
o ask not of me what tbs end may h.,
Ask Of the country round.
The castle Is dust, the sword l. rust.
The height Is but desert ground.
But the vale spreads wide in the gol,lcn pride
OF the autumn sunlight now
Ii teens and II ripens FAR and wide.
And the honor abides with the pillow.

Hall. near Morgan Bay. on Wednesday
Oct. 9th. A very lovely day increased the
pleasure Of the occasion. Some very fine
cattle were exhibited. but VIII not at

show of farm products was good. Apples
IN good variety and quality were there.
Beets. turnips. carrots. potatoes and cab

suggestive of pies. OF cranberries there
were six specimens, all 80 good that the

mock oranges. One cheese on.y was exhib-
tied. OF butter there were six specim, n>.

loayes OF brown bread reminded one OF
cake, rather than the old-fashioned Rye
and Indian 50 good with baked beans. The
white bread was white and good.

oats. peas. beans, barley and wheat also
claimed attention. Neither should We for
get to mention some ear. Of very nice
corn. A. no notes were taken. il il very
possible that some things are forgotten.
Among the articles OF manufacture were
bed-quilts, rugs. rag carpet. all nice.
braided rug deserves especial mention.
There was also some stocking yarn. white
and mixed. well worthy o.. attention; also
stockings and mittens suggestive of com
fort during the cold OF winter. All these
things do credit TO the fair hands, which
wrough, them-much better employed So.

Everybody who has been in Augusta
knows or has heard of Sumner Brick.
and OF the good stories that his wit ha>
given rise to. Nobody who has ever
seen him will be likely either to forget
the appalling length and fieryness Of
nose that he exhibited. We are glad to
learn that Sumner has reformed and
joined the Washingtonians, and from the
following speech which he made in an

clip from the kennebec Journal, il will
be seen that he is as witty out of liquor
as he was in liquor.
