1t was the 'tlushest kind Of flush
time Tho years 1852 and 1853. especially
the latter were years Of rapid growth as
well as unexamplcd prosperity Every
thing doui'shed Fortunes were made in
a day Some idea Of the ease with which
money was gained and the prodigality
with which it was spent may be derived
from the following entries in an old ledger
OF a general store Of that period "One
candle. 49, dozen French sardnes. $35,
white shirts. $40, POO pounds of white
-four, $50; fine tooth comb. So; | tin
pan. 80 barrel OF mess pork. $40 "
Whisky was 50 cents drink. and butch
ers knives. with which miners picked
gold from the crevices Of the rocks, sold
for $50 each Adventures, villains and
scoundrels from every quarter Of the
globe locked here In greater numbers
than ever before The extravages, the
designations. the complete abandonment
to self indulgence and sensual gratiica
ton the sudden ups and downs of fort
unes. and all the other evils of such a
state Of society were rampant.-San Fran

Arbor Day.

Arbor Day was exceedingly stormy so
that no outdoor work of recreation could
could be INDUCED in, consequently not
much could have been done in the way of
planting trees. We trust however that
the planting was only delayed by the rain,
and that the day was observed on the sue.
ceeding days of favorable weather.
Ar1or Day was first set apart by the
Governor of Nebraska ID years ago, the
second Wednesday of April being the day
designated, and successive governors of
that state have kept up the custom each
year since, and now 90 states in the
Union have followed the good example
including our own State of Maine. This
is a matter of the greatest Importance to
tbs healthfulness of our county, as well
as its productiveness and the beauty of
landscape. In ouI own State it is not of
such transcendent Importance, as in some
ofsour western and central states where
there are vast treeless praries and where
the forests have been more generally cut
off, but even here it is worthy the atten-
ton it is receiving and the greater at
tention it is likely to receive year by
year. The freshness and beauty of our
county villages and the charm of our
homes depend more largely upon the for
est and shade trees. than we are wont
to feel where we have become so &C
to them.

The action of the town on Monday in
passing over the article in the warrant
proposing the appropriation of $4,000 for
soldiers and sailors memorial cannot be
considered conclusive on that question.
There is no doubt but what the town will
vote the sum necessary to secure a me-
mortal room in the proposed library build
ing but the citizens seemed hardly ready
to move in the matter just yet. At the
March meeting the question was preached
and committee was raised to confer
with citizens relative to the matter The
committee had taken no action and was
prepared to make no report Monday.
The Trustees of the Academy had not
held meeting to consider the matter
even. 1t was hardly to be expected under
these circumstances that the money
would be voted. The citizens present
were not ready for the question. When
they are next asked to consider it, we
have little doubt but the action will be
favorable.

The popular impression that once de.
feated candidate for the Presidency is

cause of such defeat is not borne out by
precedents. Three men have been sub

elected. Jackson, on his first trial. car

larger majoriies in the electoral college
than any Others since Monroe's day, save
that given to Pierce, and those for Lin
coin and Grant under the exceptional cir
then existing. And Clay

fraud, proved very much stronger in
States and the popular vote than before.

second, Z, and on his third, IL. Harrison

There is considerable discussion this
year relative to Fast Day. The day is
set apart for fasting and prayer accord
ing to the proclamation of the Governor.
The observance of the day for worship is
far from general. So few observe it for
this purpose that it, has become farcical
1t is observed as a holiday generally for
sports, balls, horseback riding etc. The
suggestion to divide the day giving the
religious observance designed for Fast
day to Easter and the holiday observance
to Arbor day, May LIST, is good one and
we would be glad to see it carried out

The Anti-saloon Republicon Association
meet in New York city this week. The
Republican State committee at its meet
ing at Bangor last week, named delegates
from each county of the State to attend
the meeting. Rev. G. C. Whitcomb of

were designated for Somerset County.
The Republican Conventions of Maine
thus far held show that Republicans of
Maine are wide awake and in earnest
The convention at Bangor was attended
by nearly 800 delegates and was very
enthusiastic one. The same is true with
regard to the district conventions at Ban
