Hay Harvest In Western kennebec.
Whatever may be the result of the hay crop in
other parts of the State, 1t may be set down as q
settled fact that in the westerly portion of Kenne
bee county, 1t is as good as the average, in refer
ence to both quantity and quality. The reason is
plsin-and no necessity to engage q philosopher
to make the discovery-the farmers have not
Slapped their moving fields, without giving back
fair equivalent for the harvests obtained. In
stead of spreading over vast extent Of territory,
wasting their energies trying to secure a decent
crop of hay f.om old and worn out fields, in which
their fathers have CLEANED, year after year. with
sickle and scythe, they pay more attention
to fewer acres On Thursday, in riding

town up m Franklin county is shaking from
centre to circumference, occasioned by the fact
that two men recently came there, and broke the
stiffness Of the Sabbath BY giving . performance
with a trained bear. Such bear-faced proceedings
ought to be followed by vigorous enforcement
of the law, and paus for the action of the peo-
pie there on the subject. We forbear any advice
which we might otherwise feel called upon to
give, but if the people will bear to have the bear

We were privileged few evenings since, to
ok upon the colossal statue of Faith" now on
exhibition at the sheds Of the Hslowel Granite
company, near the depot. This exhibition will
continue until Thursday next, and will doubtless
attract crowds Of admiring people. No single sub
jet OF sculpture in the great art galleries of the
centennial was more deserving of study than this.
Oaly portion of the statue is to be seen in DO
sition, but enough to give the beholder some idea
Of what the entire work will be when standing in
is entire completeness, forty feet in height.
When looking upon this grand and imposing
work Of art, one cannot help being inspired with
Faith" in the products of Kennebec granite
4uarries, and the elegant skill and consummate
artistic taste Of the Halloweil Granite Company.
The quarry has furn ished dressed marble for the
construction of buildings in AZ parts of the coun-
try, while hardly . city but furnishes examples in
various ornsmentation Of blocks. Lately the pro-
prietors turned their attention especially to the
cutting of granite for cemetery and other orna-
mental work. Within q shert time several monu-
ments have been cut that have great melit as

we have alluded, the happy farmers were reeev'
ing abundant rewards from their haying fields
In many the grass was so high and thick, as to
hide horses engaged in drawing the clicking NOV.

and could be cut only by the tolsome method OF
, our fathers. In several fields the hay burches
we've SO numerous that as the farmer was driving
his hay rack into his field he found it impossible
to drive between the lunches that so thickly be-
spattered the smoothly-shaven sod. No better

to teach the farmers ofthe State the protableness
of high cultivation in their grass fields as well as
in other crops. 10 this, as 10 all things else,

The impudence of some men actually
exceeds belief. Secor Robson, late Sec
retary of the Navy under Grant, is one
of this brazen-faced kind. Notwith-
standing the unsavory odor that attaches
TO his name, he continues to thrust him
self before the public, assume control
of State Conventions, and is the reported
author of resolutions as foreign to his
character as it would be for Zach Chan
dler or General Grant to refuse a drink Of
Bourbon whiskey.
Perhaps no man who has ever filled a
Cabinet office left it under less creditable
circumstances. To-day Robson is under
shadow, and must continue to be until
he is able to explain to the satisfaction of
Secretary Thompson that he made an
honest and lawful use of moneys placed
in his hands, and of which no account is
to be found on the the books of the de-
partment ; at least Mr.. Thompson, with
all his efforts, has been unable to find out
its whereabouts. But, notwithstanding
all this, Robson takes the Republican

WHoLEsALING POSTAGE STAMPS
On the recommendation of the Post Of
fee Department Congress two years ago
enacted a law which the next Congress
will be urgently asked by the present
Postmaster General to repeal, and which.
in the meantime, has opened rather
lively business for the second, third and
fourth class postmasters. This law gives
to those postmasters a commission, vary
ing from fifty to ten per cent. on the
amount Of postage stamps they sell. 1t
was intended, of course, that they should
supply only the natural demand at their
offices; but the law is so loosly worded
that it allows the postmaster tn sell
stamps wherever they can find customers;
and es it is cash business, attended with
no risk or expense, many postmasters in
the country have extended their business
10 the larger cities, with of course, con
siderable prefit to themselves and loss to

PUNISH THE GUILTY.-The Republ-
can wants the Democratic defaulters
punished. 1t overlooks Chamberlain and
Patterson, of s. c., Wells, of La, and
others, and says:
"Sawyer was Republican, and he has
been convicted by a Republican court, and
will be sentenced by a Republican Judge.
CAN honest Republicans will say he is
served right now let the Democrats pun
ish their defaulters. Win they do it ? Not
much"
The Democrats will punish their de-
faulters, no doubt, when any occur that
the courts can get held of. But why did
the Republican wait until Sawyer was
taken up and punished before it referred
to him and denounced his conduct? i? Or,
why does it not cite the cases of defalca-
tion by Republican officials in Whining
ton, who 60 unpunished before it calls
on the Democrats abroad to inflict pun
ishment? Its editor Is one Of the securi-
ties for the late City Treasurer, and we
have never heard that the money he was

"Those who live in glass houses should

ty, Killgore, Harrington, Fisher, Nolan
and others, two of whom have been only
slightly punished, while the others still
60 unwhipped of justice.
But even Sawyer, over whose punish
ment the Republican refers to, was occa-
stoned by the demands of Democratic
citizens. So long as Chamberlain was
kept in power all the swirdlers in South
Carolina were protected in their pecula-
tions, frauds and crimes, and Chamber
lain was assisted in protecting them by
Grant, and Morton, and Blaine, and
Gambling. Even now Senator Patterson,
who is demanded by the courts of South
Carolina, expects to be shielded from
just punishment by the Radical officers
in Washington.

WALL STREET, New York, was startled
yesterday by the discovery of forgeries of
stock certificates of the Atlantic Mutual
Insurance Company to an enormous
amount. They purported to be issued
for $4,000 each, and were issued in the
name Of William q. Gilman. On ex-
amining the books it was found that the
certificates were issued for only 500 each
and that they had been adroitly raised
from that figure to $4,000. 1t is also
stated that two shares of bank stock were
forged, and in this latter case 81, 100 had
been raised to $1,000. This will in.
crease the gross amount of forgeries tc
$247,990. The alterations in amount:
show that these forgeries have been cal.
ried on continuously for over two years
The business of the Atlantic Mutual In
