A Strangers Opinion of Augusta.

The associate editor Of the East Boston AID

pleasant account of his recent trip to Augusta

agemens: "The long service which Drs. Har.
low and Sanbcrn have rendered in this insti.
tuition Is an Indication of the high estimation
in which their performance Of duty is held.
There is a neatness and air of comfort
throughout the whole establishment that com.
bine to render it one of the most desirable OF
the numerous hsmes for that unfortunate class
of our fellow citizens to whom the exercise OF
reason has been denied while the uniform
kindness exercised by the gentlemen referred
to towards those suffering ones have endeared
them to all in the community who sympathize
with affection, es we'll as TO numerous conva-
lescents, who, physically and mentally re.
stored, are enthusiastic in their praises
of their physicians and their attendants. -
Continuing, Mr.. Lewis says: SUNDAY in
Augusta is emphatically day Of rest. The
bells OF the various churches ring out their
clear call to worship, and not in vaia Pro-
ccssions cf men and women vending their
way scberly and thoughtfully TO their respect
i've houses of worship, were to be seen, while
the church yards were full OF vehicles in
which others had come from a greater dis
lance. During divine service even the apoth-
ecary stores were closed and the streets
deserted. On Monday morning at an early
hour we were regretfully obliged to leave this
spot, beautiful now with its mantle Of snow
covering the ground as far as the eye could
reach, with the hope, however, of again Wis
ting this lovely retreat at more favorable
season of the year, when carpet Of green
and the sweet olor Of flowers shall have sue
ceeded the bands Of ice and chilling blasts of

of about 2 900 cars or 10. 900 tons daily, and

Heretofore the custom has prevailed among
individual shippers from Port Richmond of
taking advantage of the arrival of fleets Of
Golfers at the Delagare breakwater to de-
press the rates Of freight thus discouraging
masters of vessels from coming to Port Hud-
son. The company declares that no such pol
icy will be counte nanced, but on the contrary
it will be their interest and aim to pay living
rates Of freight and give prompt attention to
all vessels. With the amount Of coal and IA
cilities at their disposal, no vessels will be
detained more than day or two.

opposed to an extra session. The fortfca-

The post Office bill has passed both Houses,

The army bill is still to be acted on by the
conference committee, as we'll as the river

Executive appropriation bill have been acted
on by the House committee, and those disa-

it is conceded are in a fair way to be passed
and can be finished in three days. The fish

Utah bill passed the Senate last night. The
House can dispose of it in day or two, ant

Conductor Osgood started with another
granite train yesterday morning, with two en-
gines attached, bound for Albany, y. Y. Not
withstanding the almost unprecedented snow
storms and cold weather of the present win
ter, the EIallowell Granite Company has con-
tinued to furnish stone promptly according to
contract; and we learn that the New York
contractors have EN- exalted opinion of Down
East" enterprise and skill as exen,plfed by
Messrs Bodwell & Wilson and their associ-
ates. Mr. Bodwell informs US that the last
big snow storm rendered necessary an ex-
penditure Of no less than fave hundred dollars
to clear the snow from the quarries, &c.
We are of the opinion that the officers OF
the Maine Central Railroad Company are do
ing all that can reasonably be expected in the
direction of general and local improvements
for the conveniences of the public; and we do
not desire to appear captous, or to find fault
unnecessarily; but there is another item (in
addition 10 the standing one of our station
buildings), that we consider proper TO refer
to Just at this time; and that is the extern
sion of telegraph facilities such as are fur
nishcd almost every station on the line Of the
road, certainly every station as Important as
the one in this city. While the trains have
been so irregular as during large portion OF
the present winter, passengers have many
times been compelled TO wait at the depot
sometimes during the whole night-for the
Pullman trains, when if we had telegraph
office as they have at other stations, these an
noying night-watches might have been avoid
suggestion, and we have no doubt the subjec
will receive the respectful and favorable at
tention Of the Maine Central Railroad Cor
poration.

We would call the attention OF Morrell of
Gardiner, and all other disbelevers in the ex-
istence of the rock-wrtings on Damariscove
island, lying just ont of Boothbay harbor, to
the fac, that there was an interesting discus
sion of the matter at tho recent meeting of
the Maine Historical Society in Bath. A
gentleman in Portland, a Mr.. Knight, we be-
lieve, Ca name suggestive OF daTkness), un-
dertook In letter to deny the antiquity OF
the settemento of Damariscove island, aileg-
ing the rock-wri,ings to be the inscriptions of
wind bound fishermen. But it appeared that
the paper was founded on the writer's knowl-
edge of the Astounding records of English
names and dates, in Roman letters, on the
northwest side OF the harboy, cut, carved and
traced on the rocky superfices of that locality,
and that he had no knowledge, either of the
locality or character, Of the tracings found
and uncovered by DIR. Cushman.
