A fine portrait bust of ex. Governor Lot M.
Morrill, of Maine. has jusl been presented to
the National Museum at Washington, by
Mrs. Douglass. daughter of Henry Dexter, a
distinguished sculptor of Cambridge, Mass.
Mr.. Dexter visited Maine in 1859, and made
a bust in plaster of Gov. Morrill,. His OBJ
ject was to obtain a collection of portrait
busts of all the governors of States and cut
them in marble, expecting they would be
placed in QUE of the public buildings at
Washington. He succeeded in obtaining
plaster busts of all governors except those OF
Oregon and California, but the breaking out
OF the war, a year or two later, put an end to
the work, and the plaster busts remained in
his possession. Since his death his daughter
decided to carry out his original designs as
far as practicable, and has presented the en-.
tire collection to the National Museum
They are spoken of as excellent works OF

Somerset county Grange.

Somerset County Grange held very large
ly attended meeting at Pittsfield Tuesday,
representations being present from nearly
every grange in the county, also from Waldo
and Kennebec- Nineteen members received
the fifth degree.
The principle topic discussed was the con-
templated course of reading and study, and
committee was raised to prepare a list of
books.
The action of the legislative committees on
agriculture in refusing an increased appro-
pration for institute work, was sharply crit
icised, and the fact the members voting
against the measure are themselves farmers,
provoked indignation. The following re-
solve was unanimously adopted and q copy
ordered sent to the Worthy State Master:
"Resolued That we as representatives of the
subordinate oranges of Somerset county, and as
farmers dependent on agricultural pursuits re-
spectfully request our Worthy State Master Hon
Frederick Roble member of the present legisa-
ture OF Maine and all other Brothers there assem-
bled, 10 use their influence to secure the passage
OF an act granting the State Board of Aericul-
ture additional appropriation for institute work
Having seen the practical results following the
holding or these institutes in the past we believe
an increased appropriation will greatly stimulate
our agricultural Interests and add to the wealth
and Improvement OF our FARMS"
