From WIN. II. Smith, Esq, Treasurer
Augusta Savings Bank.

DIR. LIGHrHILL-Dear Sir Some few years since
my son, Geo. r. smith, was placed under your care
for treatment for growing deafness which threat
ened the gradual and entire loss of hearing. When
ever he was attacked with slight cold his hearing
would become imperfect, and at times quite aaI m.
ing. Renewed attacks continue to increase the diff
hcuty, and always left him in worse con 1ition.
take gres! pleasure in saying that your treatment
entirely relieved him he has since had return Of
the difficulty and think him entirely restored l
happy to give this unsolicited testimony 10 your
skill and success SO far as my son 10 concerned, who
have doubt bat for your treatment would have
been entirely deprived of HE hearing.
Respectfully yours,
WM r. SMITH.

There are some enterprising farmers in kennc-
bee county who are making money ont Of the cul-
tiyation of cranberries But there still remain
many swales and low places that ought to be re-
deemed from their present condition and brought
up to usefulness and even profit The Portland
Press notices that A. h. Gle, Esq, of Alfred be-
gan cranberry culture about four years since. He
owned bog of twelve acres which by the con-
struction of drains and dy kes he Is enabled to flow
at will and in such a way as he likes. OF the
twelve acres he has ten set out to cranberry plants
The three first years he was to considerable ex-
pense in perfecting his lands and the ingenious
methods for cultivation and harvesting. Mr.. Gile
does not spend time in picking by hand, tedious
business, but he flows the bog, and while it is
flowed the berries are detached from the vines by
rakes and foated 10 house at the foot of the bog
where they are taken in screens and there gather
ed. Not only are the berries gathered, but by an
ingenious continuance of Mr.. Gle, the fruit fs
sorted by the screens and water, the best going
into one apartment and the light, pinched or un
sound into others. Mr.. Gle must have expended
nearly $4,000 in bringing his lands to their present
condition of bearing, and other facilities for grow
ing and securing the crop.

Incorporate the "Atrican Continental
Railroad Company" This project in
which the South Carolina MOSES and other
persons Of phlanthropic instincts are said
10 be concerned, contenplatos the build
Ing Of railroad from Liberia, on the At
lantic coast, 10 some point near the outlet
of the Red Sea, a distance of about four
thousand miles. In connection with the
railroad, and TO facilitate its construction,
line of steamships is proposed, running
from New York TO Norfolk Charleston, or
some other Southern port, and thence to
Liberia. The friends of the scheme think
that Congress should appropriate at least
u, 900 annually as n mail subsidy, both
10 foster the enormous commerce that will
at once spring up between this country and
Africa and to aid in the grand work
which, after all, MOSES and his brethren
have chiefly AZ heart-the work of civliz-
Ing and Chrstianlzug the land OF the
EthIop.
Not thar the incOrporators lose sight for
q moment of strict business principles
Even the Bayfield, and st. Crox road, so
ably advocated in Congress by PRocToH
KNOTT, was less distinctly demanded by
the commercial needs Of IA growing COM
munty than IS this great trunk line across
the Sahara.
Like most roads, its main traffic will be in
local freights and passengers. The pro-
jeotoTs state that thirty million people live
along the proposed route. Thirty million
Africans are impatiently waiting to have
their baggage checked and TO buy tickets
Thirty million cash customers are antIci-
patlng with plcasnuble emotions the day
when the locomotive shall bring TO theiI
doors large invoices OF fast freight-iet
beads, Wamsutta prints, hymn books, and
pistol cartridges. The channels Of Ameri.
can trade, pent up by overproduction, will
mud here an easy outlet. The custom OF
thirty millions OF the simple yet prodigal
descendants of HAM, will create a market
that cannot fail TO stimulate our indus
tries, start up our mills, employ hundreds
Of thousands of our Idle operatives, and
ennch our manufacturers beyond tho
dreams OF avarice The African Continen-
tai Railroad not pay

And that Is what Mr.. JONI X JELLY lacks
precisely that-cupacity IIeh.mself seems
to comprehend the fact, in his dim way of

A man conscious OF his weakness should

." | am honest"
What, thenl is honesty So rare as to dis
tingin,h a maul Is not the boy who
BACKED our boots "a honest rs the clergy

Why, then, should Mr.. KELLY, who stands
half way between the two, make Il boast Of
| his honesty?
