The failure of Old and New, or its

The failure OF Old and New, or its
absorption by Scribner's Monthly, will
cause no little regret; though probably
much of this will be sympathy with Mr..
Hale, who has put O deal Of his vitality,
physical and moral. into that magazine.
OF course it ought 10 have prospered and
made its indefatigable editor itch
and it will. II it shall be started again in
the millennium. Meanwhile it is piece
of good news that Scribner's Monthly is
to have next year the additional attrac-
ton OF historical novel by Mr.. Hale.
If it can be illustrated with pictures Of
the time 10 which the story related, and
with so excellent pictures as Scribner
always has. it will be a superb magnet
for subscribers.

The Baptist Society Of Paris Hill
entered their church last Sabbath, Tor the
first time since repairs were commenced
upon it. The building has been thorough
ly painted and whitewashed. New
carpet has been laid over the entire
floor. The pulpit has been refurnished
with elegant and costly furniture,
and many of the pews have been
cush Toned and carpeted. DR.. Estes

been done by the ladies social circle. to
the members of which much credit Is due
for the energy and persistency with
which they have worked for year and
half past. Nearly four hundred dol
lars have been expended on the work.

EXPLANATION. The coincidence OF
there being several gentlemen by the
name OF Gould connected with banks in
this city has created some confusion in
The minds OF people not acquainted with
the m as 20 which one was connected with
the Bank of Portland. The manager Of
this unfortunate bank was Mr.. William
y. Goold. Mr.. William f. Gould is
cashier of the First National, and Mr..
Edward Gould, father of Mr.. VIM. f.
Gould, is cashier OF the National Traders
Bank and they were connected in no way
with the Bank of Portland. neither. We

On The Defensive.

Some democratic journals are trying 10
Justify Governor Weston for his action on
Matt" but don't mention Frank" They
are like old Cobb who always took for his
motto, Take care of the cents and the
dollars will take care of themselves. "
The defense is like the play of Hamlet,
with Hamlet left out. Better make no
defense than one so blind and lame.

Dogs.

De. KittI edge used TO say, thirty years
ago, that every man had one dog and
'every poor one had two" They must
have been numerous then as we'll as now.
A dog, like the horse is a good animal
and deserves kind treatment from the
lords of creation. For true affection, con-
stancy watchfulness and faithlulness he
excells in many cases all animals or men.
How often does the story OF the dog as
he rescues the drowning man or projects
and watches harmless infancy or rouses
sleeping family at the approach OF the
stealthy robber excite our deepest sym
patty and admiration. Aud in pioneer
life, in the jungle, or the wilderness, how
often we pray for blessings on the dog
as he, regardless OF life or wounds,
PUSHES to the combat 10 save from peril
the life OF his msater.
But there is another side to this pic
ture. @: cd as dogs may be when circum-
stances require their presence, it docs
seem as if their number was too great.
Too much is required to maintain them
according 10 the work they do. How
well to do neighborhood can need large
number of dogs. some OF which are liz
hammered, snarly and ierociOus. some
of which are fetid, filthy aud forbidding.
and some of which will attack and chase
horses aud men and kill great numbers
of domestic animals it is diflicnlt to
reconcile.
This is simply prelude TO the follow
ing from the Boston Journal.
sheep and Dogs.
According to the returns OF the Depart
meut of Agriculture. the direct losses OF
sheep owners by the ravageS OF dogs
reach a million dollars annually in wool
and mutton. aud the indirect loss in toe
repression OF sleep husbsndry, and the
consequent waste OF large elcentage
OF the grass crop is still larger. Reports
from 800 counties, representing about
0ne.iounh OF he sheep OF the United
States. show total of 80, 30 sheep kill

STATE LANDS.

In the next issue we will give the text of bill introduced in the house of representatives by N. D. Sadler of Franklin county, amendatory of existing laws reg ulating the sale of the lands of the state.
 The bill is, in the main, good one, and it will be far more pref erable to the present donation system, which is generally regard ed as grand fraud.
 The minimum price, we think is fixed too low. The provision extending the privilege of redemp- tion to the former owner at any time previovs to the sale is a good one; but we regard the extension of this privilege to an assignee of the former owner as objectionable. This is bill which, if passed, will be of great interest to the taxpayers of the state, and we recommend a careful pcrusal of it to our readers.
