After the address the bright farmers of the
kennebec A gricultural Society were generally
quite indignant that Governor Garcclon should
have imposed a political stump speech upon
them, of such an outrageous partizan charac-
ter,-very much of it the same a. his speeches
during the late political campaign. High
words at once began after the close, upon po-
litical topics, and only for the excitement apd
attraction of the horse trot the Fair would
have been turned into political circus.
The racing closed the Exhibition. The 2-i0
trot was the best seen on the grounds in many
years, and gave great satisfaction. This an
nual show is regarded as one of the best the
Society ever held, which Is ably managed,
and is undoubtedly superior in purely agri
cultural matters to any other in the State.

ND to the boiling point and then as suddenly
allowing it to settle down again to the point
of freezing. 1t is said that in Aroostook there
has been frost every month through the
spring and summer. All over the country
there was an unusually hot spell in the early
spring months and the mercury stood among
the nincties. People sweltered, threw off
their under clothing and tried to be comtorta-
Bile. But soon an extremely cold wave swept
across the land and people wondered if win
ter was coming again. But the entire season
has been made up of just such extremes OF
heat and cold, the last extreme of heat occur
ring this week, when the thermometer has
been at ninety for two or three days.
