Gas " Orks.
A MEMBER.

With the increase of enterprise and the
present and prospective growth of Hallowell,
it may be inquired whether the city cannot
support small gas works, economically con-
structed and prudently managed
This inquiry is made in view of the present
difficulty of obtaining an uninterrupted sup
ply of gas from the works at Augusta. The
present difficulty, as understand. will be in
creased with the increased supply required,
and is chiefly owing to the small pipe laid be-
tween Hallowell and Augusta. This pipe
frosts and fills up, obstructing the flow of gas.
To replace it with one of larger size would be
attended with an expense which the Augusta
Company do no: think it would be prudent for
them to make, for the demand upon their
works is already nearly equal, at periods Of
the year, to their ability to supply, and the in
creasing consumption at Augusta will soon
put it out of their power to supply Hallowell.
1t is said that a pipe of sufficient capacity
to supply Hallowell uninterruptedly, would
cost about as much as the additional appara-
tus to manufacture the gas at Hallowel!; while
there are many considerations to make the
manufacture and delivery at Hallowell more
economical and satisfactory than it can be
under the present arrangement.
The change can be made during the sum-
mcr, when no interruption Of the supply Of
gas at Hallowell will be necessary. The lot at
Hallowell now used is suitable for the erection
If works. the street mains are all laid: the
metres all set; gasholder of sufficient ca
pacity for many years provided, and goodly
number of consumers ready and DESTROYS to
have a full and uninterrupted supply of gas.
In erecting the works it will be necessary
to provide three retorts for winter use and one
retort for summer, and two purifiers and a
station metre. These must be in a brick build
ing with slated roof; a coal shed TO hold from
one to two hundred tons of coal, may be of
wood. To accomplish this it is proposed to
form Hallowell Gas Light Company, organ
izing under the old Hallowell Gas Light
Company charter, and for the Augusta Com
pany to sell to the Hallowell Company, all
their works in the city of Hallowell at a
moderate price, and take their pay in the
stock of the new company. The business of
| the new company to be managed by officers re-
siding in the city of Hallowell by this means
Hallowell can have, what is very necessary to
her manufacturing industry, good and profit
able gas company. Cannot this be accom-
plshed the coming summer? What says Hal
| lowell? INQUIRER.

The instructions to Gen. Howard who has
been assigned to the duty as special Indian
Commissioner, after detailing the circum
stances already published officially and other
wise relative to the policy of the government
| towards the Indians states that circumstances
have recently arisen creating apprehensions
that hostilities may lie renewed between the
Indians and the military authorities, where
by the policy inaugurated may be defeated
and to prevent this Gen. Howard is after
proceeding to Arisona and New Mexico to
take such action as in his judgment may be
deemed best for the purpose of preserving
peace with the Indians. In these territories
there is no change in the desire of the gov
eminent as to the means for preserving
peace. In addition to the previous sugges-
lions Gen. Howard is requested to consider
the propriety of inducing the nomadic tribes
of Arisona to unite and accept a reservation
further east in the territory of New Mexico
where they will be more readily reached by
the government and phlanthropic citizens
in the work of providing for their phys
ical wants and with the view to promoting
their civilization. The great object Of the
government is first to preserve peace between
the United States, and these as well as all
other tribes of Indians. and second to induce
them to abandon their present habits and 60

the influences of education and christian
civilization.

A UNIVERSAL ARTICLE OF FAIrH.-In these
days of religious contention it has been
thought impossible to indicate an article Of
faith upon which all sects and classes were
united. There is one, however, and a very
notable one, too, viz: belief which is i'm
plicit and universal in the paramount efficacy
of that matchless household tonic and recu-
perant, Plantation Btters. The constantly
increasing patronage which it receiv es has, it
is true, excited the petty envy of certain sple-
netc advertisers of pinchbeck paneceas, who
hope to make market for their own stagnant,
watery wares, by decrying all spistuous med
ical preparations. But the public can stom-
ach neither their arguments nor their pota-
tons, and consequently reject these very
weak limitations of the enemy as entirely too

We learn that the citizens of Sidney have
manifested considerable interest in the mat
ter of singing schools the past winter, having
sustained number in various parts Of the
town. This is good step. and one that de-
serves notice and imitation. l. the teaching
of music were to 60 hand in hand with the
teaching of literature and science in our sys-
tenn OF public education, it would lead to
better general appreciation of good taste and
refinement. and tend to elevate the general
tone of social fellowship. But one of the
chief obstacles in this matter seems to be the
difficulty ia obtaining teachers. There are
but few in the field. We learn, however, that
one Of our young and enterprising musical
citizens is taking an interest in this subject.
At the earnest solicitation of the citizens of
West Sidney, Mr.. A. d. Ward of this city
was induced to teach a singing school at the
Baptist church in that place. Last Saturday
evening he closed term of eighteen even
ings, which was well attended-old and young
both taking part, and manifesting lively in
terest in the school throughout the term. Mr..
w. has proved himself competent leader and
instructor. He has a good voice, and is well
informed in the subject Of music, especially
modern church music. He has also the hap
py faculty of readily impartiug his knowledge
to his classes, and in an interesting manner,
which is the true characteristic of a success
full teacher in any branch Of instruction. We
