The proposed plan for forming Masonic
stock company, for the purpose of purchasing
lot and erecting Masonic temple in this
city. has failed. While several parties were
deeply interested in the enterprise, and offered
to subscribe literally, the majority considered
the undertaking altogether too formidable and
declined to subscribe to the stock. 1t is prob
able, however, that the fraternity will not be
satisfied until their present accommodations
are enlarged and otherwise improved.

Augusta and Kennebec horseman are nat
urally proud of Cars "Knox Boy" in the ra-
ces at Lewiston, carrying off the first money
in the 2.37 race. The race was a most pro-
tracted one, and the boy was in shot compa-
n.y." but he behaved himself most handsome
ly, and cleaned out all of his competitors, ap-
pearing as bright and fresh at the close Of the
trotting rs at the beginning ofth first heat.
Kennebec is justly proud of such good blood
ed and promising young animal. We hope
that Mr.. Carr will hold on to him and not let
him 60 yet awhile, though tempted by large
offers. In the race at Lewiston he trotted
twelve heats in the three days, making time
from "a to 3s, best time being SO 3 accom-
plishing a feat never before performed by a
horse Of his age in the State. Knox Boy is
owned and was bred by l. J. Carr of Farm
ingdale, was broken and kept for three years
by Hiram Reed & Son of this city, and was
trained by A. M. Reed, and is very likely one
of the most perfect horses in the country.

Tho platform adopted by tho National Grange
atst. Louis is very gcnorally commended by tho
Eastern press. Tho Now York Ecening Post
anys that It ronds something like now Sermon

tho Grange is now pretty wo]l understood. 1t
has been declared by tho National Grange that
political questions cannot be oyon discussed in
tho meetings Of the Order, but Freedom OF polit-
ica1 action outside Of tho ordor Ia permitted and
encouraged. In tho State Of Illinois thero has
beon Homo friction between tho Grangos and tho
Farmers Clubs-tho former boing secret,
non-poltical, and tho lattor an opou,
political organization. How far tho dif-
forences botweon tho two can bo har-

somo light may DO thrown upon this question by

Of which tho groat bulk WAS sold to pcrsons in

It vii! appear strange that while this immense

DO dono with this cloth aud these garments Of

tho Government expended, It is said, 1858, 00O

apt and forolblo. Tho treatment Of railroads ia
classified into four methods, viz: IL The ILL
dependent, or that which pormit0 and encourages
tho building aud management OF railroads on
tue same froo basis as tho establishment AMI
pursuit Of other private business; (2) railroad
regulation by special municipal laws, which un-
dertake to fix the rate Of charges and other
wise Buhjeot railroad corporations to log
ialatlve behests; (3) executive supervision,
or system OF inspection by public officers to
whom tho interests of the public aro intrBtod,
Which is the French policy; aud ~ partial State
ownership, iu order to provide atoady" sud por-
nlanent competition. which Ia thu +Dalgian eys-

and consecutive In thor suooeasdon, and tho in
toronco which tho report leaves to tho roador ia
that tho laat-named ts tho evontual outcome OF
this new doctrine Of "naturl so!octton."
