Unity Locals.
We have passed through a variety Of excite
ments recently. First the Second Advents came
and pitched their tent with us and for two weeks,
afternoon and evening, very earnestly presented
their doctrine TO the people. They did not sue
coed in making any converts, but Elder Baker
baptized three persons on Saturday week
Saturday and Sunday I'd and Sd inst, the second
Quarterly Meeting of Unity and Troy charge was
held at Troy meeting house. Very able and in
teresting sermons were preached by Presiding
Elder l.. d. Warlwell and s. l.. lIanscome of
Clinton.
On Sunday evening as l.. d. Wardwell and wife
were returning to Unity, their horse SHE'D and
overturned the carriage throwing both into the
ditch. Mr.. Wardwell was uninjured but Mrs.
Wardwell was not so fortunate receiving severe
injury.
Tuesday, the Rockland District Ministerial
Association met at Unity and organized with j. w.
Day of Vassaboro' as President. The meeting
continued two days and was very interesting
throughout. The storm prevented a large attend
ance, yet the several charges well represent
ed. Next meeting of the Association will be at
Union in January next.
Wednesday 9th inst the North Waldo County
Fair was held at Unity. The display was not
quite equal to that of last year with the exception
drunkenness and fighting which was fully equal to
anything in the past. On Friday and Saturday
large crowds were in attendance at the races
which have engrossed the attention of horse men
for several days. Friday the first purse was won
by Aver of Palermo, and the sweepstakes on Sat
urday by plymouth Rock"

THE GREAT FIGURING MILL.
Something about the ''New Process
Flour

We noticed il Harper's Weekly last week, a
very interesting article on the early history of
Minnesota, and the rapid development Of various
branches of industries. In speaking Of its manu-
featuring interest it says "Ex-Gov. {. c. Wash
burn has built, and is now operating the largest
FIGURING Mill on the continent, and the fourth in
capacity in the world. The machinery and stones
are the best that could be found in France. The
art Of -four making has been reduced to something
near perfection III this mill. The Minnesota
wheat is said to be the best in the world. The
new process the use of what is known as the
Middlings Purifier has revolutionized the manu-
iactule Of flour. The machinery by which this
result is accomplished is very ingenious. 1t was
originally introduced from France, but has since
been largely improved upon. Within the past
year Gov. Washburn has introduced into his new
mill machinery costing $50 900, such as no other
mill on the continent has, thus giving him an adj
vantage over other mills. The result has been the
production OF machinery so delicate as TO extract
all of the better qualities Of the wheat kernel with
cut impaling the vitality, thus producing the whit
est and best flour the wheat is capable Of yielding
This process consists in removing the bran from
and bran being reeled out leaving a mass OF
rounded coarse kernels Of wheat meat or simnel,
which in this form can be subjected to a blast of
air which carries away the dust and impurities Of
the exterior coatngs. The simnel thus purified
and ground again produces this excellent flour,
and which Yields from forty to fifty lbs. more
bread to the barrel, and which has come TO be the
delight of the housekeeper because of its abso-
lutte purity and snowy whiteness. BY the old
process, the flour being made by only one grind
ing, the dust snd impurities ground up and
ntermingled with the flour, reducing its color,
richness and rising qualities. Messrs. j. A. Chris
tian and brother, two scientific and experienced
milers as well as business men arc connected with
and have charge of the mill. The full capacity of
this mill is some $500 barrels per day or seven
hundred and fifty thousand barrels per year"
We learn the flour is being largely introduced
into this State, and that it veres all that is claim
ed for it, viz. the hes. -four that is made on the
continent May success attend our distinguished
Maine boys enterprise.

jackson. October 49, In treaty between Gov.
Ames and the democratic state executive commit
tee whereby the militia was disbanded, the com
mttee assured the Gov. that there was no other
desire among the whites than that peace be pre-
served the laws enforced, and fair election had,
and the leading whites would do all in their power
10 this end. The Gov. responded that in view OF
this assurance he would meet their views as far as
possible and would order all the military com
panles to disperse and return to .heir homes. 1t
was agreed that the arms Of the companies should
be deposited in depols in the neighborhood IN
which the companies were raised, and be guarded
BY United States troops, and be removed only by
order of the Gov. The arms are not to be de-
liyered to the militia except in the case of riot
or insurrection which could not be suppressed by
the civil authorities.

Albany, October 10. The following is q copy
Of letter sent to every District Attorney in the
state, To- day:
Executive Chamber, Albany, n. Y, !
October 30, 1875.
Sir The improper and illegal use of money at
elections is in portions OF the state serious
and growing evil, sometimes threatening the un-
biased will of the people and always debauching
the public virtue Of both officers and electors.
You are familiar with the stringent statutes and
the conditional provisions adopted last year, re-
lating to the subject and are aware that if they
are vigorously enforced this evil would soon be
eradicated. l expect that you will be vigilant in
detecting and dlligent in prosecuting persons
guilty OF the crime referred to- within your county
and snail regard any diversion of duty in this re-
spect a sufficient cause for removal from Office.
am yours truly,
(Signed) SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

RaIl0mell local Mems.

| The following poem, entitled "a Legend Of
Husbandry," was recently read at the Middle
(Mass.) South Agricultural Fair, by the author,
Joel G. Clark, Esq, formerly Of this city. Mr..
Clark is printer by profession, as we'll as poet of
no ordinary ability. He is also republican candi-
date for election to the "Great and General Court
of Massachusetts,, from the town Of birmingham,
and will undoubtedly be elected-as he deserves
to be. But here is the poem:
Elkanah (stvled the Noble } ere he died,
| Called to his couch mis- grieving sons and said
soon shall rest among the quiet dead;
| Hear now my words, and rest satisfied.
Would that We all to bless the world might lve
True riches are not measured by the purse;
| Jehovah kindly lightens Eden's curse,
And favors such as labor, love and give.
These lands, the home of generations past,
Shall well suffice for all who here abide
To till the soil, and thus their meat PROVIDE
Rich gains are sure while strength and patience
last.
What little wealth besides have in store,
To those who choose lifc's noiser walks 10 tread,
In equal portions be distributed.
With diligen .e, what need have ye of more! p
He babe them flee temptation, and be led
In Wisdom's ways; then vainly strove to make
One more request-'This dying counsel take"
To honest worth the last sad rites were paid;
Then to his chosen field each brother turned
The elder three the Patriarch's counsel spurned,
While only one his parting words obeyed.
The first, ambitious for statesman's fame,
Sought public honors-popular applause,
That height once reached, he framed oppressive
laws
And fell with but tyrant's hated name.
Another, not content to work and wait,
To build his fortune by industrious zeal,
BY Titles learned in largest things to steal,
Ana died dlsgraced, imprisoned by the State.
The third merchants wearing duties sought
Neglected health and home, nor lived at ease;
His vessels foundered in the stormy seas,
And care, at middle life, his ruin wrought
The last and noblest son his fathers charge
Received and treasured to its full extent
With slower gain he gladly proved content.
Time makes the tender sapling strong and great.
While thus his life progressed his Joys enlarged,
His well-tied fields the choicest products bore,
Nor did the stranger perish by his door,
With weighty public trusts his sons were charged.
lie lived with Natures laws in strict accord.
When fourscore years had bleached his thinning
locks,
He walked his fields and fed his trusting foeks,
man Of wealth, and every whit lord.
Above the lonored mound, encased with sod,
Where many years his noble form has slept,
Hi ehildren's children long this legend kept:
"WHo rItLs THE SOIL is SURELY BLEsT OF GOD"
