Farmers Convention.

'+.A'- SKowHEGAN, Oct 9th.
The morning session Wednesday opened with
fine weather and fair attendance AT busi-
ness meeting the question of cooperating with
the Industrial College in establishing series
of agricultural experiments throughout the
State, was discussed but no definite plan agreed
upon.
The opening subject was a report from Prof
Fernald, one of the delegates, on the U. S.
Agricultural Convention at Washington last
spring.
q. A. Gilbert of Androscoggin presented an
essay on the question of whether our former
practices correspond with the changes and re-
quirements brought about by the lapse of time.
He recommended new departure in farming
operations and lifting out of the old ruts
The question was discussed by j. F. Law
renee of the New Hampshire Board of Agricul-
ture, L. L. Lucas of Somerset county, Folsom
of Skowhegan, Prof. Allen and others.
At the afternoon session the subject was con-
tinued by Secretary Goodale with an exhaust
i've essay which occupied an hour and a half
1t will be published in the report of the doings.
Discussion was continued by Camp Meeting
John Allen of Pennington, Friend TAYLOR of
Fairfield, Prof. Fernald of Orono, and others,
During the evening two essays were present.
ed and read, one by S. L. Boardman of the
Maine Farmer, upon the Agricultural Press and
its influence upon the farming community. and
one by J.W. Lang of Waldo, on The Curse of
Human Parasites. These were sandwtched
with short account of his method of hay
growing by Mr.. Lawrence of the N HI. Board
of Agriculture.
AT one P. NJ the Coburn Cadets, composed
of the students of the Industrial College gave
jubilee drill and parade in the street, under the
charge of Lieut.. Dean, military instructor at
the college, and before Gen White of Bangor.
Their correct evolutions, fine military bearing,
and excellent drilling gave much satisfaction to
the lockers on. Especially was the "silent
drill" praised and applauded 1t is to be hoped
the boys of our agricultural college, while prac-
ticing the art of war will not overlook or neg
lect the more necessary and appropriate arts of
peace. ~ 4e@
Some of our leading agriculturists, and per-
maps not without reason, think that 1T is hardly
appropriate that our college boys should ap-
pear In military uniform on all occasions upon
which they are seen in public. But Gin time
of peace prepare for war" The only question
is whether an agricultural college is the place
to give such instruction.
So far the meeting cannot be called sue
cess. refer to local attendance and the spirit
manifested by farmers in the vicinity 1t was
confidently expected that if the session was To-
Gated in this, one of the best farming regions of
the State, it would wake up general interest,
but the farmers, fruit and stock growers, fail
to Put IN an appearance The sessions, so far
as the members are concerned, have been of
more than usual interest, the essays presented
and topics treated equaling those at any former
session. j.

decided, but probably in Cumberland county

SERGEANT BATES who carried an Ameri-
show that the ex-rebels would not insult it,
now proposes to try the same test upon the
English people by carrying an unfurled sam
pie of our favorite dry goods from Scotland to
London. We suspect the Sergeant is so near
fool that he is of no Sc for any common
labor, else he would not be striving for so
cheap notoriety.

GENTLEMEN who are reengaged in the some
what arduoas work of figuring out Demo-
cratic gains from the election returns ought
not to overlook the fact that the aggregate
vote of this State is considerably less than it
was in 1868, and that, taking this fact into
account, the relative Republican majority is
nearly as large as it was that year. Compare
the vote with 1868, then, if you find any COM
fort in doing SO.

Political Notes.

David A. Wells, of Norwich, Conn.,, a
prominent supporter of Greeley, says: ''He
had rather beat Grant with Horace than any
other man. because it would make the Gen
eral feel as though a swill cart had run over
him." The classic language of Mr.. Wells
shows the high esteem in which he holds
Greeley. Anything to beat Grant"
DR.. Geo. B. Loring was nominated by ac-
clamation for State Senator by the Republi-
cans of the Essex Mass district, Thursday.
The Convention was in session ten minutes.
Greeley and Brown Clubs in New York are
changing over to Grant and Wilson.
The Portland daily press., 1872-10-11

THE New York World of Sunday said that
''the jig was up'' with Grant in Pennsylvania,
and that Buckalew was "as good as his ex-
cellency, the Governor of Pennsylvania, the
only question now being the majority with
which he goes in." Next year the World
and all the rest of the Democratic papers
will say precisely the same thing.
The Portland daily press., 1872-10-11

READERS of Democratic papers must here
after derive great consolation from their pre-
dictions touching political matters. If we
had space we could make up cheerful page
entirely of extracts from our Democratic ex-
changes in which they have claimed Pennsyl-
yania as "certain to give twenty thousand
Democratic majority" ''sure for Buckalew"
and .ssafe for Greeley" .-........

WHAT Rum DID FOR Mr.. BRICK.-The Gel
ebrated Sum. Brick of Augusta, to whose
reformation reference has hitheto been made
in these columns, made speech at the last
meeting of the Augusta Reform Club, which
for both pathos and humor is not often excel-
ed. 1t is necessary to note the fact that Mr..
Brick lost portion of his nose some years
since by a surgical operation. In concluding
his remarks the speaker said: ........
When think of what / am and what l
might have been, can well say that rum has
done much for me. Little good and much
euiL 1t has made me handsome man; it
has restrained me from extravagant living,
costly clothing, valuable jewelry, fast horses,
seaside mansions and yachts. 1t has pre-
vented me from being called bloated bond
holder, may have been called bloated
hummer, but | am guiltless of bonds or
stock. 1t has saved me from paying exorbi-
tant taxes on real estate and relieved me of
the double expense of putting cupola ON my
house and putting house under my cupola.
1t has relieved me of a family and a home.
Washing days are unknown to me and my
night-key awakens no wife and children. 1t
has prevented me from being swindled and
robbed. Nobody borrows of me under the
garb ofpfetended friendship. Nobody at
tempts to wrest from me what they know l
haven't got-and the only thing have lost
after a series of years is few inches of my
nose, which don't miss. Yes, rum has done
much far me. You can all see what Ium has
done for me, and let me tell all within the
sound of my voice, that if you have anything
to do with the vile stuff, it may do as much
for you. Shun the bowl and above all things
avoid the first glass; ..r.

AN interesting and important decision re-
garding trade marks has been rendered by
Acting Commissioner Watcher, at Washing
ton. 1t appears that miller of St. Louis,
No., sought to register as trade mark for
his barrels of -four the words "Cherry street
Mills" and "Market street Mis,'' combined
with square and compass. 1t was held that
the words did not meet the requirements of
the law for the specific description and own
ership; and the use of the square and COM
pass could not be permitted on the ground
that it is impossible to divest this symbol of
its well known mystic significance, and owing
to the universally of masonry the use OF the
device must constantly work deception. 1t
was also stated that such use of the symbol
would be considered by many Masons as a
pase prostitution of it to mercenary purposes,
wnne lts mystic force would in some degree
ingufe It's operation as trade mark The ap-
pllcatlon was therefore rejected.
