was ever the shadow or semblance of a
doubt that crossed her Faith, The writer,
from years Of closest association, could
never detect its slightest appearance.
During all these years she spent almost
every hour aud minute Of her existence
in worshiping her God, speaking kindly
TO all, and OF all. trying to do good, aud
in her simple good way to win others to
the God she worshippsd. How meet that
the life of this good woman should go out

sad eve gave the kiss of welcome TO the
brow of approaching night, as if 10 say
farewell, so life EN- braced and kissed the
cold and pulseless grand mother. and the
soul put on its wings Of Immortality and
winged its aight to Heaven.

Every farmer 10 Fulton county
should resolve TO carry on his farming
for the year 1882 on better system than
ever before. As the farmer grows older
he should grow wiser, and improve his
methods yearly. He should look back on
the past, and ask himself what mfstak es
be has made, aud then resolve 10 avoid
them in the future. He ought to know
what has been most profitable for him to
produce in the past and that is a pretty
fair criterion Of what will pay him best
in the future. There is ample time now
to consider what should be produced as
money CROP in 1882.

"RUMFoRD ALL RIGHs."
A Few Words of Interest to the Argus
Readers.

In last Friday Argus there appeared a COM
munication from Rumford, to which the par
ties referred to therein reply through the
columns of the Oxford Democrat as follows;
To the Editor Of the Oxford Democrat:
I clipped the following from the Eastern
Argus:
RUMFORD ALL RIGHT.
RUMFoRD, Aug. 9th, 1857.
To the Editor Of the Argus:
Perhaps a few words from the town of Rumford
may be of interest to some of the readers Of the
Argus. having taken some pains to enquire, find
the opposition to the Republicans solid for Plaisted
for Governor, and none of our men have gone over
to the enemy, and we have no weakened ones. ,
One Republican here says he knows they shall
win, because Col. Robe is so popular. Well, the
same man tried to get the nomination for CLERK OF
Courts on his own popularity and was defeated, AZ
undoubtedly Col. Robbie will be on the 18th OF sep
TENDER. The Scion drive viii diminish wonderfully
and there were onlysix of them in town two years
ago; IN, .xro RI
publicans, viz Geo, W. and James d. Ripley, VINO
both say the principles of the Groenback party are
the correct ones for the people to vote for, ana
James said he had voted the Republican ticket for
the last time and that his next vote would be with
the GreenbackeTs. He evidently don't propose to
vote with party that buy their nominations y.
Now allow me to say that the above is un-
true. If 80" is the man think him to DO,
he either misunderstood me, or willfully pre-
varicates I stated that there were some
things in the Greenback platform that liked,
but when see their whole move is to aid and
strengthen the olo Democratic party and are
willing to sacrifice their own principles simply
for the sake of beating the Republicans, l
made up my mind wanted no part of them.

And am no Greenbacker so long as they fuse
with Democrats. Ihsve never voted any tex

American Shipping interests


The session OF Congress just closed has made
a beginning in long needed legislation to relieve
the American marine engaged in the foreign
carrying trade from burdens which have aided
in driving the stars and stripes from the ocean.
Three measures have been enacted into law,
which will prove of some assistance in this
direction.
One provides that the compartment occupied
by the crew, and the space occupied by the
machinery of vessels shall be deducted from
the tonnage. AS charges in neutral
ports are mainly determined by the net tom
mage, the law will reduce this class of ex-
penses of American vessels about onethir1,
and will remove to this extent existing dis
examinations against them.
A second law enacted requires foreign yes
sells entering our port and engaging in the
American trade, to be subject to American
inspection with similar requirements to those
exacted of American vessels. Heretofore
foreign vessels have participated in our foreign
carrying trade without being required to con-
form to our regulations
A third enactment has provided for joint
select committee of the Senate and House to
inquire into the conditional wants of American
ship-building and ship owning interests, and
to devise measures of legislative relief to be
reported at the opening OF the second session
in December. This measure was introduced
and carried through by Congressman Dingley
of this district, and is the outgrowth of a
memorial of Bath business men, who asked for
the appointment of commission. Finding
that there were strenuous objections to a COM
mission by Democratic members, Mr.. Dingley
modified the proposition to one for this COM
mittee, which passed the House without
serious opposition, and the Senate by vote of
40 to 90 The committee consists of Senators
Miller of New York, Conger OF Michigan and
Vest of Missouri, and Representatives Page OF
California, Gambler of Massachusetts, Robson
of New jersey, Dingley of Maine, McLane OF
Maryland and Cox of New York. The COM
mittee will visit various points during the
autumn, confer with ship-builders and ship
owners and endeavor to formulate plan o.
legislative relief to be presented to Congress;
in December.
