BY the laying out Of a new street north Of
the residence of Mr.. George Wingate, and
extending the same to Winthrop street, west
of the residence Of Mr.. Hiram B. Couch, q
large number of fine house lots would be
opened to the market, and the ascent of Win
throp Hill would be greatly facilitated. 9th
er intersecting streets might be opened that
would add greatly to the business PROJECTS of
the city, and demonstrate to the public that
we are alive to the urgent demands forced
upon Us by the almost unexampled opportu-
mites now presented for the permanent
growth of our city. 1t will not answer to let
these golden moments pass, and induce by IA
tai supineness, the sleep of financial oblivion.
The age of lethargy has passed, and we are
now beginning to realize the necessity of tax
ing advance steps in rapid succession in order
to secure the prize in prospect. No commu-
nifty can prosper unless broad and compre-
hensive views are taken in matters pertaining
to public improvements. Some communities
may be satisfied to remain stationary-merely
vegetate and live upon each other in peace
and quietude, with no hum of business life to
break in upon the monotony of daily slug
gishness or nightly repose. But such are not
the characteristics of our city. We are ready
to welcome, and aid if need be, any legiti-
mate enterprise that may present itself, and
afford all the facilities and opportunities in
our power to promote private and corporate
prosperity, and at the same time contribute
to the welfare Of the general public. This
magnanimous policy is what has already given
US start in the right direction; and we feel
confident that the age of cold fogyism," which
we once had charged to our account-wheth-
justly or not, we will not pretend to decide
has passed away, with but few relics left as
monuments Of departed antediluvianism.
We have been informed that a discrimi-
nation is made in the matter of railroad pas
senger fare between our Kennebec cities and
Bangor, that would appear not only unjust on
the part Of the railroad company, but highly
injurious to the business of the corporation.
While the fare from Augusta to Bangor is
justice of requiring $3.50 to carry passen-
ger to the same destination from this city
two miles longer distance. We would like
to know, if the case is as above stated, what
schedule of distance and price governs in ar
ranging fares over our railroads at the pres
ent time. There ought to be some way pro-
vided to adjust certain irregularities now
existing on all our roads.
We have received a specimen of smoked
buffalo meat, prepared by Mr.. Silas Ruth

presented to US by Mr. A. W. Craig of Hal
lowell, who has recently returned from a
visit to the above named place, accompanied
by his young wife, formerly Miss Jessie NJ.
