nHaiue Dairrinx Interests.

To the Editor Of the Press:ea
notice with great pleasure an article in the
Home Farm, written by r. o. Conant OF this
CITY, 10 regard TO the dairsing interests of
Maine I have long been interested in the
matters spoken of in this letter, and when men
Of this character not only use their pens so ably
but their Influence, it seems that there must
be some good result from it. I have found the
same trouble at State fairs that Mr.. Conant
has experienced. There is no suitable build
ing In which butter and cheese can be shown
to advantage. 1t is to be hoped that the mau-
agement of the Maine State Fair will cause
suitable building to be erected before another
fair is held, where farmers can have place to
exhibit butter and cheese. Then it should be
the duty of the owners of these goods, il thew
are TOR sale, to be in this building and give the
necessary information to the buyers. NV idea
Is to bring the producer and the merchant
nearer together. There are many times the
merchant could use these products If he knew
1ast where to find them, and now that ths
creamery system OF making butter has been
introduced into this State with such good re-
suite, we i0d still stronger reasons for advo-
eating these improvements.
While writing about the creamery system
am inclined to pay compliment to the cream
cry men OF the West for the intelligence and
skill they have shown in producing the finest
butter in this country. This has all been &C.
complished by introducing the best breeds of
OF Cattle. The milk yield has been increased
These ereameries have been built under the
most scientific system, and everything has
oeen cone That could be to improve the quali-
ty OF their butter. Now will not Maine men
take hold OF this matter in earnest, and do the
same as has been done in the west. II this
Can DO done We shall reach higher quality
and uniformity, which is always looked for by
the purchaser.
would like to say q word to the manufac-
turefs of cheese in this State. Your first con-
sideration should be fine quality, AMI the more
uniform the production of this article the bet
ter 1t every cheese that is to be manufactur-
cd 10 this State the next year could pc made
uniformly fine and rich in quality, uniform in
sizs and weight and mild flavor ss COULD
probably DO done, the boxes neat and clean and
not marketed in barreled as many farmers do.
Ii the Maine farmer would do this he could al
ways get good prices for his cheese and never
be troubled with an over production. q.

Nases

The amount of coal burned every month by
the locomotives OF the Maine Central Railroad
which obtain their supply in Bangor, Is such
as would seem very large to one not acquainted
with the railroad business. There are twenty
five engines on the Maine Central which 'coal
up" in Bangor. Those running to Portland
use four tons per day, while those on the short
distance rms, aa between Bangor and Old
town, use but one ton. The average is about
two per day for each locomotive, making in all
about fifty tons per day and 1900 tons Der
month This coal all comes by vessels from
Baltimore and Philadelphia, and the work OF
handling it gives employment to q large num-

(From the Press of April 10, 1861
Our city at this moment-12.15 mdnight-is all
awe. The glorious intelligence HIS been received
that Lee has surrendered his whole force to Gen
Grant this afternoon. Bells are ringing fireworks
displaying, guns firing, people gathering and the
utmost Joy prevails. 1t is like the opening of a
Fourth OF July only that people 90 not compiain of

multitude c0ngregated in our Office we have never

breaks the backbone OF the rebellion, and we NAV
soon expect peace in our land. Two O'Clock A. MI
10Th. FOR two hours the vicinity of our
ONCE has been blaze of glory. The Custom
House, Post Office and some adjoining
buildings have been brilliantly liehted
up. bon fires of tar kindled guns fired, and great
OK ite ment prevails. An impromptu procession was
got mp which marched to various residei ces and
saiuted the occupants. Collector washburn was
called and he asked for "ths flag" which being ex-
hlblted he made a thrilling speech. Other promi-
henC cltlzens responded upon being called out. So
urgent as the demand that were obliged to
issue an extra at L O'Clock in the morning con-
tanning some portion of the glorious intelligence
which was seized upon with the greatest ayidity
Soon after the reception of the glorious news of the
surrender of Gen. Lee large and enthusiastic

What Happened Twenty Years Ago.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The following account we find in the PRESS
OF date mentioned. We shall never forget
those scenes. All politics were forgotten. For
once onr people wers unit. The city was
wide awake at midnight. None could sleep CT
had disposition 10. We well remember DR..
Mason's, the veteran druggist, activity on that
occasion. We doubt mis- having an empty box
left In his store. 1t was an occasion for low,
TIE people felt that four years of bloody strife
vera at an end. The terrible cloud was to be
lifted, and peace, SO ardently prayed for, was
to come again. Our young people can form no
idaa OF the strain upon their elders that the
war produced. No wonder that christian men
and women went TO praise God In our City
Hail at that midnight gathering. Our coun-
try was saved in its entirety. Never more to
be narrsd by assaults on equal rights; its flag
was to be what OR fathers designed, an en-
6!em Of liberty and union. The changes since
that joyous morning are many. Abraham
Lincoln. who will ever live monumental fig
ure in history, was borne few weeks later to
his last resting place mid the sobs and means
OF nation. Stanton, the imperious war minis
ter, loved by loyalty, and hated by its opposite
has also passed away; likewise Thaddeus Ste-
vens, Charles Sumner. Ben Wade, William
Lloyd Garrison, j r. Giddings, Horace Gree
ley, Henry Wilson, Wendell Phillips: repre-
sentative opponents of slavery, the like of
whom will never be seen again on earth. at one
time. Oar Senators, Fessenden and Morrill,.
able, honest and fearless, against whom no
charge of corruption was ever whispered:
Washbnrn, the patriotic citizen; Shepley, the
able soldier aud jurist, have all passed lifes
boundary. What an array of namesl How
noble they appear in historyi Aud now the
great captain, whose frmness, combined with
skill that made him rank among the first
military heroes of the race, is descending the
dark valley of the shadow of death, followed
by the sympathy of the civilized world.
whose idol he was. His faults and
mistakes are forgotten and best of all the sym.
Dathy from our Southern citizens is Us warm
and sincere as that from the North, What
heart could resist the appeal made on Easter
morn by the dying hero. 81 am deeply touched
at the expressions that have been sent to me,
Tor all the calls OF those who once looked upon
me rs an enemy. desire the good will OF all
whether heretofore friends or not.'
These events have become history; our part
in them for good or i'll must remain.
