palatable than its Southern sister.

Al Al II u
commence selling tickets to the Crawford
Notch and return, for one fare for the round
trip, and make them good until October 3Oth.

mountains. Those having excursion tickets
will be taken at less rates at the principal
hotels This is an opportunity for cheap

Augusta will have to entertain some ten
thousand extra people next week at the state
Muster. The Maine Militia was never in so
good condition as at present. With their new
uniforms, new tents, new colors, and new ac-
eouterments they will present dazzling ap-
pearance. The ranks of the companies are
'uil and the men are bubbling over with en-
thusiasm. The Muster will last four days.
On Monday next a detachment of four men
nom each company with non-commissioned
0mcer, will arrive and pitch the tents. Cooks
will probably accompany the squads. so that
"nen the troops arrive early Tuesday morn
ing they will find fires blazing and a break
iast Of baked beans. hard tack, and hot coffee
awaiting them. Invitations have been ex-
~noed to the Governors of New Hampshire
AND Massachusetts to attend the Muster with
'aef stats. The troops will break camp
.00ut six o'clock Friday evening. We hope
"At zen. Chamberlain and officers in COM
mand will decide to arrange a sham fight in
.e exercises. This is magnificent practice
.0f the men, and would be hugely enjoyed
