ASH WEDNEsDAY.--Wedne next,
February 10th, is Ash Wednesday, or the
first day of the Lenten season Its name
is derived from the custom that prevailed
in the early church Of sprnklng the head
with ashes, rs 4 token Of humiliation for sin
and as n reminder that we are dust, and unto
dust shall return. The solemn fast of Lent
which Ia sis forty days, exclusive ofSundays,
has been set apart by the Christian Church
as special season of fasting and prayer, du-
ring which the mind of the devout believer
may be drawn away from the cares and fol-
lies Of the world, and be more intcntly fixed
upon the immortal concerns of the soul.
Lent ends at Easter, on which day the whole
Of Christcndom unitcs in joyfully celebrating

The latest sensation of our town was created
on last Wednesday evening, when about one
hundred and fifty persons assembled to witness
the trial of Dandy Sprigtail, who was charged
by Dinnh Grindstone with "breach ofpromisc, "
and sued for one hundred thousand collars, or
fulflmcnt of the contract The trial was con.
Quoted by the Literary and Debating Society OF
this place, and the court was organized by ap-
pointing s. N. Hyde, Esq, Judge; Mr.. j. +.
Cole Clerk, and Mr.. Jno. II. Cole, Sheriff. JAS
X. Chcsney, Esq. was the attorney for the prose-
cution. The defense was represcntedby Messrs.
A. l.. Hyde and c. II. Lewis. A jury oftive was
selected, with Mr.. T. p. Mitchell, foreman-
Nine witnesses were examined, after which the
case was argued by the attorneys. The case be.
ing given to the jury, verdict of guilty was
rendered. The defendant, after considering his
case, decided to accept the proposition to marry
the plaintiff, SO they were accordingly united in
matrimony-thc novel ceremony of dumping
the broomstick" being used. The scene was
closed with music and a waltz by the bride and
groom. This trial was probably the most anus
ing entertainment that has taken place in this
neighborhood for many years.

The SEWING MACHINE MoNoPoLY.-The
committee Of the Senate has, il is announced,
decided to report adversely upon the appli-
! cation for the extension of the sewing ma
chine patent This patent, which has given
the sewing machine companies a monopoly
Of the business for twenty-three years, covers
the -four motion feed" machinery, and is SO
necessary to the utility OF sewing machine
that no machines are constructed without it
or could be sold if they were 1t is owned
| Wheeler & Wilson, the Wilcox & Gibbs, the
Singer, and the Howe companies, and has en-.
abled them to defy ell competitors and to sell
their machines at an enormous profit. The
patent has been already once extended, and
the companies named have grown rich
through the monopoly they have so long en-
joyed.
The Washington Chiohic!e is authority for
the report that the sewing machine compa-
MES have placed fund of $250,000 where it
would do the most good, in order to secure
legislation to continue their patent in force
The prospect OF their success is not f1atter-
ing. The report of the committee, adverse TO
the extension, will meet Tie approval of the
country, and will be adopted by Congress.

No MILITARY REIGN IL THE UNITED

of which has heretofore been one of General

this to say about the reign Of military power
in the United States. Our best friends are
those who tell us of our faults; but it is en-
tremely doubtful if President Grant will pay
any attention TO tho advice of even his
friends. The Ledger says:
"Whatever difference of opinion there NAV
be among the readers of the Ledger on other
public questions, we think they will all agree
with us that there should never be q reign of
military power in the United States. No
such thing can be tolerated. II matters not

ence in Louisiana affairs they are rapidly
cancelling that debt"

FEBRUARY PROVERBS February weather
has from early times, been supposed to have
great influence upon the future. One proverb
ascribes to it n bad character, and says:
February fills the dyke,
Either with the black or white"
i. e., either with rain or snow. 1t is better TO
have snow, for the proverb reads further
Gift be white, it's the better TO like"
In a collection of English proverbs we
find
"Thc welshman would rather SEQ his dam on
bier,
Than see fair Februcer."
The Scotch proverb also echoes the same
sentiment, rs follows:
"a the months o. the wear
Curse fair Februcer."
Tuesday was the festival of the purifica
ton of the Virgin, popularity known as Can
dlemas Day 1t was formerly celebrated
with many lights in churches There is an
old proyerb that upon this day the ground
hog comes out Of his hole If he sees his
shadow he goes back, and n long continue
ance of cold weather may be expected. If
the sun does not shine, and his shadow is not
visible, he remains out, and an early spring
is thereby denoted A Scotch proverb says !:
"If Candlemas day be dry and fair,
The half O. winters to come and MAR;
lfCandemas day be wet and foul
The half o winters game at Yulc."
In Germany there are two proverbial ex-
pressions on this subject 1. The shepherd
would rather see the wolf enter his stable on
Candlemas day than the sun. 2. The badger
keeps out of his hole on Candlemas day, and
when he finds snow, walks abroad; but if he
sees the sun shining, he draws back into his
hole.
The curious in such matters will recollect
that Candlemas Day was dry and fair, and
therefore, according to the proverb, it will
be some time before spring will bring bloom
and joy again TO the desolaic woods and
fields.

NEW HAMPSHIRE,
The Political Situation Meeting of the
Legislature.

CONCORD, N, H., May 25.-The New
Hampshire legislature assemblies next
Wednesday, June 2. The most important
business to come before the session will be
the election OF governor and state off
GERS for the year to come. The choice of
these officers depends on the political com.
plexion of the house, which is still in
doubt, though confidently claimed by the
Republicans by nine majority. The Dem.
ocrats claim to have elected ISL members.
which makes majority of any house
heretofore assembled in the state; they
allege that at least fifteen or twenty OF
those elected by the Republicans are not
legal repI esentatives, and have served
them with notices that their seats will be
contested. They also aver that four or
five Of those claimed as Republicans were
elected as Prohibitionists, and will be quite
as likely to vote and act with the Demo
Gratis as with them. Thus the matter re.
mains in much doubt. If the clerk of last
years house, who makes up the roll,
omits the names of the contested mem
bers, or if the Prohibition members vote
with the Democrats, they will control the
organization; and whichever party does
this, it is conceded, will control the state
government for the year. The senate is
Democratic by two majority. If the
house turns out in the same way the Dem
ocratic nominees for governor and railroad
commissioner will be elected and the pres
ent incumbents of the other state offices
reelected. If the Republicans secure the
house, their nominees will be chosen
and the state Offices filed, with one or two
exceptions, with the officers whose places
were taken by Democrats one year ago, II
the Democrats control the house, short,
and inexpensive session with little or nc
new legislation, will be the result. If the
Republicans control it, hong and wrang.

A Bubble Burst

Speaking of the action Of the governor
and council of New Hampshire in relation
to the election returns, ''The People, "
published at Concord, n. II. says:
This law has been on the statute book
since 1858, and is imperative in its effect;
and when our cotemDoraries, of whatever
party they may be. directly or by implica-
ton, charge the Democracy of New Hamp-
shire with having been governed by mere
technicalities, it is very certain that they
speak in ignorance OF the facts.
Never was more diminutive mouse the
outcome of a political mountain in labor
than that born of the travail of the Repub.
lican leaders in respect to New Hampshire
which now sneaks about uncared-for and
disowned. Weeks ago, as if by common
concert, the Republican press, by groan'
unnumbered, betokened the pangs Of
parturition, and when, in due time, Gov
ernor Weston acted as the law required
him to act, the Republican leaders in unit
ed chorus poured forth their own spawr

consulting the supreme court. and being
advised to this course by the written and
published opinions of two ex-judges of that
court, both still prominent members of the
Republican party. There is not Demo

governor and council; scores and hundreds
Of the best Republicans, besides judges
Fowler and Sawyer, above mentioned, do
the same. The efforts to raise popular
indignation against Governor Weston and
his party will not meet with success until
they revise and correct their Measurements
Of the law and the facts in the case. The
Democracy are safely entrenched behind
the bulwarks of the constitution and the
law in the matter, and could sweep the
state by 5000 majority on this issue to-day.
