4EGL'ST1, SHALL IT BE AZ INTER-
TION4L DEPOT!

To the Editor Of tie Heaat5ec Jou,udi:
Facts developed at the opening of the Lewis x
Kennebec Railroad per your issue Of the ID inst.
are significant and of great moment to the valley of
the Kennebec. They are Of special and practical
moment TO your city, and bring up at Cnce the
question at the head Of this note An onr sympa-
ther are with the capital Of our State as such a
despot.
1t may be considered settled that the trade and
travel of the great commercial emporium Of the
Canadas, of the Chaudieur and its tceming popu-
lation and of the south bank Of the st. Lawrence
and their tributaries near Qlebec will come TO the
State of Maine in two years more seeking pas
sage to the The transit i. now near half done,
and the means provided for entire and perfect
completion in England
There is no doubt settled purpose with the
promoters of the Lewis < Kennebcc Railroad, both
in Canada and England, to make it an International
highway, and along the valley Of the Kenneboc,
with Augusta as the centre Of interior distribu
ton within the United States, and Wiscasset its
terminal connection with the sea-other things be-
ing equal.
The volume Of trade and travel, it is now i'm
possible to compute, ep-cially when it shall be-
ONE one Of the sea outlets to the Atlantic, Of the
great Canadian & Pacific Railroad, government
enterprise now in hand.
Shall Augusta be its distributing centre Here
is the vital question. The is, "Aot neceSSd-
riiy So" Two years-yes, eighteen months will
settle il. Lewiston is moving to take the prize.
Watetyillc too has its attractions, and it is safe TO
say if Augusta does not act-and act with CELEBRITY
and prompttude, and with all her available re-
sources-she can neGer distribute tie t,ade Of the
CdnadaS and QfMe prospective Pac.f" anil Iadiah
treasures in tie United iStates.
Movements are combining to Illustrate the pres
ent emnence Of Augusta in this direct ion, and
two years will see the combinations and talk take
effective shape. The existing sympathy and
preference of the promoters of the international

Az AGGRESSITE STEP.

General Roberts has given notice that
this is to be an aggressive campaign on
the part of the democrats. His letter of
acceptance has a very aggressive spirit.
But do the good people of Maine realize
that the chief aggressive step thus far un-
dertaken by the democratic candidate for
Governor is one against the established
sentiment and policy of the State in re-
gard to temperance? For many years
Maine has led the temperance army.
Her example has been quoted far and near
by the friends of temperance. All candi-
dates nominated for Office have respected
the deep feeling of our people in relation
to this subject and the laws which have
been enacted to promote temperance. At
length we have candidate who makes
an open, uncalled for attack upon the
temperance laws and temperance hab-
its of the people. The convention
which nominated him said nothing
nothing in its platform against temperance.
An attempt was made to introduce reso-
luton in favor of license, but it was
squelched, thus showing that the senti-
ment of the democratic convention was
not in favor of taking ground against pro
hibiton. But disregarding the evident
purpose of the convention to make no
issue upon temperance. General Roberts
took the responsibility in his speech made
in Bangor on the evening after the con-
vention to declare himself against our
temperance laws and in favor Of free rum
His language upon that occasion was as
follows:
And here, lest L might be mis-
PrOhibttOry Liquor Law, that
bone Of contention so long up
on our statute books, L never
favored. ] never shall. L be-
feve it to be revolutionary in
spirit, u clog to the wheels Of
business, denOraliZing in ~
great degree to the cause of
true temperance which it pro-
claims 10 advance; and while I
shall openly oppose it. 1 shall
the more openly and jealousy
advocate such n, e0sures in this
regard as ssm convinced will
the better and more substan-
italy cOmduce to the prOsperi-
~ Of our state, and the gen.
eral welfare of its citizens.
These are the words of General Roberts
the democratic candidate for Governor.
They express his sentiment. upon sub
icct of vital importance to our people
lie takes care to state his opinions clearly
lest he might be misquoted.' No one
who reads can he in doubt or mistaken as
TO his views. He means war upon tenn
perance, and every man who votes for
him must take the position of an enemy
OF temperance.
Col. Smiths letter to Gen. Roberts is a
terrible bombshel in the democratic camp.

BROWN LEGHORNS.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives this breed the follow
ing good words:
There is no denying the fact tibet the
Brown Leghorns are fast becoming a
most popular variety both as fancy
and a useful breed. They are small,
mature quickly, the hens come into lay
ing early, and for that reason are profit
able. They are easy keepers, being
small feeders and prolific egg producers.
They have all the markings and build
of good layers, having large combs and
wallets, of beautiful pink-red color,
which is always suggestive of fresh
laid eggs. n ew beginners are apt to
be discouraged at first, but experience
teaches the virtue of patience and per-
severance. | have learned that one
must first raise his layers from good
stock before he can expect even mod
crate return and fowls purchased from
noted breeders are not always reared
with an eye to this important advantage
1t is sufficient for them that the breed
has name for producing eggs. Fowls
for this purpose must be raised, not
made-must have the very best of care
and feed, from the shell up, to establish
the foundation of strong, vigorous
constitution, in order to support rapid
and long continued production, as well
as to reproduce stamina in their young.
| have every reason to believe the
Brown Leghorns will do this and am
PLY repay their own with good supply
of large. fine eggs at all seasons of the
year; but there must be large outlay
before expecting a return. The chicks
of the Brown Leghorn are hardy-as
much so rs any variety. The chicks
require a certain amount Of care until
they are six or eight weeks old, and by
experience | find this rule to hold good
with all breeds and varieties of poultry
when in an artificial condition. The
Brown Leghorn chicks possess the vir-
tue of feathering early, and thus escape
much danger which awaits their feath-
erless brethren, the Black Spanish and
Asiatics. The markings of both the
Brown Leghorn cock and hen are beau
tiful-indeed, splendid plumage is a
marked characteristic of the breed.
The day is long since past when the
questions Do hens pay" " Are they
profitable ?" are undecided | have had
many years experience, and can an
swer that | know they do. From the
long list of debts and credits, find the
balance in their favor. The hen bust
ness Gf the expression be allowable) is
healthy, pleasant and lucrative; but
one must, in some measure, be born to
it mot made), with fondness and in
terest in nature, close, observing eye,
and mind willing to inquire into and
search the mysteries of nature in her
own fields, and learn the truth Of the
unmistakable knowledge she teaches
her children; and where pleasure is
born, the money value ceases to exist,
and the profit accrues thus labor be-
comes only healthy exercise. To one
about establishing poultry yard, |
would advise them to put down the
Brown Leghorns on the list as good
variety, not only for their useful quail :
fcations, but for beauty and ornament.

November 3Oth 1870 the defendant abandoned the
plainant: that said abandonment has continued unin-
terrupedy for more than three years and deliberate
and final and the separation beyond any reasonable
