Iecejgcd a notice from you the past
week showing $3.50 was due, / am
glad that you reminded me Of the fact
hope you will excuse me for the past
negligence. and / promise to DO better
for the future.
We have bad rather of a backward
Spring. but in spite Of the cold wealth
a. nature has been doing its work,
clothing each tree and shrub with its
robe ofliying green. Plum and cher
ry trees are in blossom, showing that
we will have an abundant harvest,
without some freak Of nature kills them.
Farmers work is progressing rapidly.
II the weather is favorable most Of
them viii finish planting corn this
week. Small grain is looking finely.

Of Peru and Winhall ] think they have
eyes but they see not, ears haye they
but they hear not what good things
the Lord hath prepared for them in
other lands.

Yours in haste

The Lord has not put all the good
things in any one place. Six months
of snow is quite a large allowance, even
for the Green Mountains, but we never
heard fits being so cold among the
mountains Of Vermont as TO freeze peo-
pie to death while going from house to
barn to feed cattle as was the case in
some parts the West the past winter
aud they very seldom get "shuck up
with fever n ager" as they do in some
parts Of the West and South. When
we can hear Of country with no draw
backs eve will take our hat under our
arm and jine the procession. En-.

The Amateur Club Record.

AS the base ball season of 1873 has fairly
closed, it may be interesting to learn the ca
reer of the Amateur club of this city. The
club was organized the 10Th of last August.
After their first defeat and game with the Ken
nebecs of Hallowell it was not satisfactory
that by one game any club should hold the
title of Kennebec championship, SO it was ar
ranged between the two clubs to play a series
of games, best and 8. The Amateurs REIN
forced their nine and went in and won the
first two successive games, thus claiming the
will reorganize next season and will put their
best nine into the field. For the past season
they have played six games, losing two and
winning four viz:

Prof. Milliken Leaves Augusta.

Prof. NJ. c. Milliken, who leaves Augusta
with his family this week to take up his resi-
dence in Worcester, Mass, took his farewell
of Winthrop Street Universalist church last
Sunday evening, where he has been organist
for several years. If the Professor intended
to intensity the heartache which the congrega-
ton felt at parting with an organist who has
pleased them so long and SO we'll, he did it
most efectually in his voluntary on that even
ing. The piece selected and performed was
"Consider the Lilies" sung as solo by Mrs
Charles Milliken, the fine soprano singer of
this church, accompanied by the Professor on
the organ. Mrs. Milliken sang with splendid
effect, and the organist displayed in full per-
lection that nice musical skill and knowledge
which distinguish his performances upon the
instrument. The entire audience listened as
if under spell, and yet with the pleasure
they feltwas mingled pain at the recollection
of the loss of SO accomplished an organist and
the dissolution of the magnificent choir at
Winthrop Street church. There are many
regrets at Prof. Millikens departure, and
many kind wishes for the prosperity of himself
and family in their new home. At the sabbath
school his intended removal was noticed,
where his loss will be felt by officers and
scholars.

self-taught printer, and who has not been idle
an hour since he opened his office, nearly
year ago. Altogether the building is busy

several departments of business are those who
keep steady at work, make but little spread,
but are bound to succeed. Such are the men
any community needs and of such we have
far too few.

full life size and life like portrait of a daugh-
ter of one of our citizens, raised from small
photograph picture, and finished in pastelle
crayon, in style not to be excelled by any
artist in the country. Mr.. S. has recently
taken fine view of the city of Hallowell from
the east side of the river, and other local pic
lures of interest to the general public.
While digging trench from the main gas
pipe on Water street to the corner of Daven-
ports store on Saturday last, the vorknen
came across large cavern, some eight or ten
feet square and about the same depth, and the
inquiry was at once raised as to how it hap
pened in that locality, and for what purpose
it had been built. TWAS covered with plank
which had become somewhat rotten and it is
wonder that some heavily loaded team has
not cut through the thin crust of earth and
disappeared in the dark recess below. Some
of our older citizens recollected that this pit
was built some forty or fifty years ago as
| receptacle for the DRAWINGS from the ''old
tavern" once located in the vicinity. The
hole was filled up by street commissioner
Graves on Monday.
The U. S. Light Tender steamer Iris, Capt.
johnson, arrived at this port on Friday last,
and remained until Monday. On Saturday
| afternoon a party OF gentlemen and ladies
| visited the steamer, where they were hospit-
ably entertained by Capt. johnson, Master,
Mr.. Merrill, Engineer, and Mr.. Day, Mate.
After enjoying some fine music, entertaining
conversation, and liberal collation., the COM
pany separated with mutual good wishes and
! with store of material for future pleasant
memories. This steamer visits our river for
the purpose of arranging the buoys in the
channel, placing them in position in the
spring, and removing them before the close Of
navigation.
We hear of no contraction in hours of labor
or curtaiment in business enterprises in this
city. Our cotton factory is working extra
hours, and the stone yards and quarries are
in full blast; also the oilcloth factories and
other manufacturing establishments. 1t is to
be hoped this state of things may be continued
indefinitely
Rev. C. Fuller, who has been spending a
month or two in the country, returned to his
home in this city on Saturday last, greatly
invigorated by breathing country air and
feasting on country fare.

MR.. EDITOR: Nearly three weeks since. at
the suggestion of one of our pupils, chal-
lenge to a contest in Defamation was pub
lished in your columns. From the first men,
ton of the matter to me was greatly in favor
of it. 1t struck me as a practical idea. If
accepted, and the contest brought such talent
as there is good reason to believe the Dirigo
State possesses, could see that great interest
might be awakened, that eventually other
subjects would be brought in, and some time
in the future why not have a Students Fair as
well as a Farmers? 1t seemed to me that to
excel in these contests would be worthy OBJ
ject for all young men and women seeking
distinction, and who wish to measure their &C.
quirements by some known and acknowledged
standard. 1t also seemed to me matter of
very little importance who set the ball to roll
ing or who won in the contest,-the object
being good one, and its final attainment de.
pending upon the cooperation of so many as
to make one individual or one school of but
little Importance. My dream, however, has
not been realized. No one has appeared to
second the movement and now the limited De-
riod 1--WE were obliged to name one in order
to have time on both sides to arrange for the
contest, if there were one,) having expired,
we, for the present, withdraw, taking this &C.
casion, however, to invite correspondence
with any institution in the State or with any
interested private individuals with view to a
contest at some future time, not only in this,
but in other and more important branches.
