The first war-ship of the American Navy, was
built by William Drew, Esq, Of Kingston, Mass,
grandfather of Rev. William A. Drew of this
city,. She was a sloop- mounting sixteen
guns, built "for the colony" in l776, and chris
tened for the Declaration of July 4th. The Itde-
pendence. As the Revolution progressed. another
was built in Drew's shipyard by the same ship
wright, and called the Xdrs-thc god of war.
She was built "for the States" and mounted twen-
ty guns. Both were commanded, successfully,
by Capt. Simeon Sampson Of Kingston (ancestor
of our Bowdoinham Sampsons). Commodore S.
was the first naval officer ever commissioned by
the Continental Congress. After taking fifteen
prizes in the independence he was captured and
made prisoner at Halifax. On his release the
"Nars" was built, and he placed in command of
her. The birthplace of both of these ships was
on Jones River, small stream in Kingston,
town which, during the first hundred years of the
Old Colony, was part of Old Plymouth, and
situated, like that town and Duxbury, on
Plymouth Bay.

The poisoning of dogs, cats, and "sich" in this
city, has fairly opened, and is quite successful
thus far. A dog belonging to Mr.. Temple, and
two others, the property of John Martin and
Chas. Hall, knawed a certain bone, and soon were
laid out stark and cold in death. Several cats
thought they would finish their supper on the
bone, and they are dead cats now. The bone was
examined and found to be stuffed with poisoned
b ead put in there undoubtedly with "malice
aforethought"
The denomination Of Mayor Nash last evening,
by the republicans of Augusta, without oppos-
ton, in one of the largest caucuses ever held in
the city, was graceful and fitting compliment to
an able and faithful public officer. 1t was as
handsome an endorsement of his official conduct
and the purity of his administration, as any
might hope TO receive. His course has been such
as to disarm even the opposition of our political
opponent who recognize his worth as man and
an official, and will hesitate before arraying can
didate against him on Monday next. These lines
are written without the knowledge of our asso-
ciate but as we have been in position to notice
something of his devotion to the best interests of
the city, we feel that in adding these words Of
commentator, we do not commit offence
against good taste.

ther owes his education to the fact that
he was among the rescued from a slave

Their had the happiness, also, of finding
his mother and sisters, and numbering
them among his first converts to the
Christian faith. His career as Bishop
has fully indicated the wisdom of his
appointment.
DR.. CroWther has translated the BIZ
bic and prayer-book into several Afri-
can dialects. He is authority upon the
subject Of African languages. In a
paper by him, read recently before the
Royal Geographical Society, London,
he states that the "Houssa" is beauti-
full language, and is, to the continent
OF Africa, what the French language is
to Europe. Houssa is an Independent
State Of Central Africa, and Dr.. Crow
ther thinks that the extent of country
III which the language is native is lar

dialect. The Houssas are intelligent
but migratory, and carry their speech

to the power which it confers OF affili-

The sail, the mine and the chase, sec

in his observations, be largely adyanc-

Even the Mahometans, by their aid in
the prevalence Of this dialect, have
been opening the way for more charit-
able explorers.

THE Russia-Turk war continues
about in statue quo, except occasional
skirmishes and perhaps slight battles.
The great battle, which was to have
been last week, has not yet been
fought, but is to be in a few days, the
war news reporters being reliable.
But no reliance can be placed on these
reports. Tt is said that the Turks, by
the junction Of their two chief armies,
are prepared and reaGy for battle and
that the Russians will probably give
battle. If the expected battle is fought
it is thought there will be 100000
soldiers engaged in it.

Corn and potatoes have been suffering
