In response to the call made through the
fREss contributions of flowers we're sent to the
Coffee Rooms last Saturday morning, and very
quietly the ''Flower Mission began its good
work. Some fifty or more boquets were ar
ranged, and taken by the young ladies to the
hospitals, Home for Aged Women, Orphan
Asylum and Jail, while few found welcome
in homes where flowers were indeed a luxury.
What lessons of trust and hope the flowers
taught, coming on rainy day and at the end
of gloomy week we cannot tell, but the sur
prise, gratitude and pleasure which the recipi-
ents expressed, Especially at the Greedy Hos
pital) proved Enthusiastically their appreciation
for the kind sympathy thus evinced, and testi-
fed also to the universal love for flowers. This,
however, is but one part of the good work pro.
posed for the mission. Realizing the impor-
lance of nourishiDg food to the sick, and to
supply need often met with by physicians
among their poorer patients, the ladies will be
prepared to send beef tea, jellies, &C., to such
invalds as may be endorsed by physicians, or
other responsible parties. To perfect these
plans, all persons who are interested in this
mission for the distribution of flowers, fruit
and delicacies to the sick, are requested to meet
at Congress Hall this afternoon at o'clock.

BEET SUGAR MANUFAcToRY.-MrT Theodore
Gennert, an intelligent German gentleman and
chemist, who has had large experience in the
cultivation of sugar beets, and the manufac-
ture of sugar therefrom, has been in the city OF
late and has called upon several gentlemen
interested in the manufacture of sugar to OBJ
tain information in regard to the subject he
is member of the well known firm OF GEN.
merit Brothers. In 1867 he established q large
sugar mandatory at Chatswortb, ILL.,, then
went to Europe and superintendent the estab-
lishment of several sugar manufactures there;
but latterly has been at Peru, engaged IN the
manufacture of sugar from cane. de was
intending to come this way, but paragraph IN
a Maine paper, giving statement OF the
bounty offered by the last Legislature for the
cultivation of sugar beet, met his eye and
fastened his coming. He thinks that all the
conditions are favorable here for the production
of the beet, and that sugar refinery could be
made to do the work of manufacturing. Mr..
Gennert will be in the state, more or less,
during the summer, and will look into the
matter thoroughly, with view to this new
industry, which, if developed fully, will prove
a mine of wealth to the farmers of Maine. Mr..
Gennert has also visited Augusta and had an
Interview with Gov. Connor.

FAIRFIELD, May %, 1877.
The warm pleasant weather this spring has
enabled the farmers to get their crops into the
ground much earlier than usual, and much
larger amount is planted. Especially is this so in
regard to the two staple crops-corn and wheat.
The rains Of the present week have started the
grass, which shows a remarkable growth for
the season, aud unless we have very severe
drouth the crops must be the largest gathered
for years.
The dry weather and scarcity of rains has
prevented our millmen from securing the usual
number of logs. 1t is estimated that the drive
will secure about one-half of the logs cut.
The new building erected by the Odd Fellows
is being plastered and will soon be ready for
occupancy While nothing elaborate has been
attempted the building is one suited to the
wants of the Lodge, and one that will improve
the appearance of the street. The stores and
offices will be roomy and pleasant.
The NJ. G. r. r. Co. are improving their
grounds here, building new platforms to &C
commodate the lumbermen, moving their build
ings SO as TO make their business more
compact The building lately injured by fire
is being repaired in thorough manner
The Fairfield Framing and Furnishing Co.
have commenced work in earnest.

niture Co.-50 by 112-has been raised up one
story and prepared for the heavy work Of franz
ing and fitting large timber. The new mill adj
joining is two story building so by 1l2, aud
furnished with the smaller machinery necessary
for the work. Everything is now in readiness
and orders will he received for mills, churches,
halls or dwelling houses; the materials for
which will be prepared and shipped all ready
to put together By the use of machinery the
cost of building and especially of framing, can
be materially reduced. The mills are connect
ed by side track with the railroad, and being
so near the saw mills their facilities for filling
orders are unsurpassed Tie members of the
firm, Messrs. Smith, Robinson & Co, are all
practical mechanics and thoroughly acquainted
with their business, Mr. Smith having for years
been foreman of the mill at Waterville owned
by Smith & Meader, and used for the same
purpose as this
Quite number OF our citizens who left for
the "Black Hills" in April are daily expected

who remain, aud advise those at home to re.

A RARE ASTRONOMICAL DIsPLAY-A ccm-
plete aurora Tor corona) was observed forming
at o'clock last evening. Luminous beams
shot up from every point of the horizon and
the entire sky was covered with a wavy, quiz
ering canopy of flame. From east to west
north to south, the brilliant waves flashed, al.
most increasingly until II p. m. The display
was the finest observed 10 this latitude for
many years. The sky resembled fry dome,
whose crown appeared to rest upon variegated
pillars of fire, which were frequently traversed
by waves or flashes of light. These beams are
simply illumned spaces, caused by the flow of
electricity through the upper regions of the at
mosphere. The formation of an "auroral
corona" near the magnetic zenith is the effect
of perspective resulting from number of lum-
nous beams all parallel to each other.

A GAS MAIN ON FIRE.-Last evening about
9 o'clock the new gas main which is going down
began to leak at the foot of Bracket street. A
workman took a lantern and started to find the
leak when the gas took fire from the lantern
and blew out the stopper which was in the end
of the pipe. The gas from the whole main
then burst forth, and the flames shot into the
air ten feet or more. Word was sent to the
works and the gas was shut off, and after burn.
ing the gas 10 the pipe the fire went out. The
cost of the gas consumed will be quite a con.
siderable sum. The pipe was also injured al
the end.
