The centennial tea party at Wilson Hall on
Tuesday evening, under the superintendence
of the ladies of the Methodist society in this
city, aided by the cooperation of our citizens
generally, was eminently successful, brin ging
out one OF the largest audiences Of the season.
The first tableaux representing "the destruo-
ton Of tea in Boston harbor Dec 10th, l773,"
was lifelike picture of Eye olden time;" the
young "Modocs" performing their part with
desperate courage, under the inspiring infli-
ence of the continental fife and DRUM.
A large choir of centenariaDs, under the
leadership of the elder Adams-not the origi-
nal Adams of Paradise fame-performed some
of the soul inspiring music of the fathers in
most artistic manner, ''bringing down the
house" with their combined attractions of har-
mony, beauty and matchless grace. Among
the distinguished ladies we noticed Mrs.
Martha Washington, Mrs. Gen. Putnam, Mrs.
John Adams, Mrs. Alexander Hamilton and
others. together with their daughters, all
dressed in the Costume of the period" and
attracting universal attention: while Gen.
Knox, Old Put, Com. Paul Jones, Ethan
Allen, Lord Timothy Dexter and others
figured conspicuously among the gentlemen.
An orchestra of violins, bass viols and brass
instruments assisted in the performance. The
supper of baked pudding and beans, brown
bread, pumpkin pies, with the indispensable
cup Of tea, was we'll arranged and abundant
ly patronized. Oysters, ice cream, &C., were
furnished to order. During the evening sew
eral pieces we're sung by some of our Eng
fish and Scotch adopted citizens, in their Pc
culiar national style; and variety Of tab
eaux were sandwiched in to make up the
evenings entertainment. All appeared we'll
pleased with the performances and we I'M
derstand the receipts were quite satisfactory.
Notice was given that the entertainment
would be repeated, or concluded, this (Thurs-
day. evening.
We understand there is no truth in the re-
port that there is a case of small pox in this
city. The report originated from the suspic-
ions of neighboring physician that several
members of family residing on Second
street, who were recovering from scarlet fc-
yer, might have the small pox. After thor
oughly investigation the suspicious proved to
be entirely untounded. Thus ends that scare.
The ice cutters are beginning to scrape the
snow from the ice preparatory to cutting and
storing for the coming summer. We learn
that the prospect for busy season in the ice
trade is haitering.
Our street commissioner has commenced
hauling gravel from the city lot on the Chcl
sea side of the river, and deposi,ng it in suit
able localities for use on the streets next sea-
son.
We learn that the proposition for the city to
keep the sidewalks free from snow and ice
during the winter has been reconsidered by
the city council, and go the city ordinance
requiring owners of property to keep the side
walks passable is to be enforced. Ho! for
shovels.

A Magnanimous Offer


The County Commissioners now in session
have received from the proprietors of the toll
bridge at Fairfield, an offer in writing to sur
render their bridge to the counties of Kenne-
bee and Somerset, to be hereafter owned by
these counties, and maintained at Their ex-
pen:e. Luckily the statute under which the
offer of surrender is made, (Chap. so, sec. 81
also provides that its acceptance by the Coun-
ty Commissioners shall depend upon their
judgment as to whether it is 'for the public
interest and convenience" The statute is
certainly an extraordinary one, and the peo-
pie OF Kennebec and Somerset must regard
the Offer as truly magnanimous! What say
the tax payers of Augusta, what say Water
Vile and Winslow, burdened as they are al
ready with expensive free bridges, to being
called upon to contribute for the maintenance
and by and by the inevitable rebuilding, of
the Fairfield bridge? What binders the Gar
diner and Pittston bridge corporation, if they
should find it a poor investment to rebuild
their bridge when it becomes unsafe. just to
throw it upon the county? And how stupid
in our Hallowell neighbors not to have availed
themselves of this statute! They might other
wise now be enjoying the advantages of a nice
bridge, at the countys expense, instead Of
having an Indictment hanging over them for
obstructing the navigation OF the river with
their unsightly old piers.

CUBA.

Havana, II. The slavery question is now
being seriously discussed among slave own
ers. According to letters and kilograms from
Spain, the government is determined to bring
the questisn before the Cortes for action, but
desires that slave holders propose some plan
for making the abolition OF slavery a certainty
without seriously injuring the agricultural
prosperity of the island. Many premine at
slave owners are in favor of treating slaves
the same as contracted Cinnamon. 1t is
doubtful whether the Cortes will sanction
such or similar plan. The me mbers of he
Havana abolition society are increasing.
