News of the Oranges.

The secretary of Waldo County Pomona
Grange has made arrangements for half fare
on the Belfast branch railroad to the meeting
at Burnham Apr. 10Th.
The leap year ball at Mystic Grange Hall,
Belmont, March oath, under the manage
ment of the ladies, was a decided success
"Cncle Jerry" was at his best and those
present enjoyed the occasion very much.
The South Branch Grange meeting last
Saturday evening was well attended. Four
young ladies took their Sd and 4th degrees
and three candidates are now in waiting
The usual programme was carried out. The
question: Can a farmer get living and pay
his bills and keep up the fertility of his
farm? was opened by F. Partridge, follow ed
by S. $. Trevett, w. IL. CHM, H. B. Heagan,
a. y. CHM, Worthy Master b. NJ. Eanes,
Sisters Mudgett, Libby and others. Bro
TreNett said that amy one adal,ted to farm
ing, and who CLOSELY stuck to the business
could do better than a mechanic Very
many who work at trade only have en-
ployment in the summer season and when
winter comes it takes the season 5 work to
get through. He said that farms Well at
tended to We're cutting more hay than for-
merly and that was the case with his farm.
Worthy Master Eanes said farmers did
not work so many days in the year as the
mechanic. In the winter the farmer does
but little work, and in the summer he goes
to the County Grange and takes a good
many days driving around. But then lie has
the advantage of the mechanic. His crops go
on increasing and his business oes not
stop. When the mechanic stops work there
is nothing coming in. He said that farm
should not be less than so acres, and 100
acres is better. A farm of Is to 20 acres
would not keep man employed with the
common crops grown in this section,s and
some other occupation beside the resources
of the farm would be needed.
w. HI. CHM said that any one adapted to
the business of farming a good farm
could get a good living, pay his bills and
keep up the fertility of the farm
II. B. Heagan said that farmers neglected
their business and spent more days visiting
the Oranges and other places and driving
around the country than any other class, and
the larger and better the farm the more he
drove about, and with fancy horse and
better top buggy. But generally the farmer
can spend a day off the farm for 80 cents
when it would cost the mechanic So for a
team and days tt-out.
a. A. CHM said that farms large enough
and well attended had increased in fertility
The money earned off the farm in work
ing out with team or hauling little cord
wood to market, in many cases would have
to go for hired he'll on the farln.
We cannot report the sentiments of all
but the sisters We're divided on the hard
and delving work of the farm Sister Mudg-
EFT said tnat farmers sold too much hay and
did not keep the good stock they should
keep aid most all the pastures We're turned
into hay fields. Sister Libby did not want
anything to do with the farm. Sister Ward
claimed to know nothing, and the other SIS
ters probably thought about the same or
wished they did. "....

CITIZENS or BELrAsT: What is to hccolne
of the Young men and boys Of our city?
Shall we sit with folded hands and look idlv
on at the destruction of this rising genera
ton? Unless these drinking shops and
gambling deEs closed our youths will be
ruined. Are there not enough temperance
men in this city who will use their influence
and have the law enforced, so that this
temptation may be removed from our midst: ::
AS sure as there is God we are all respon-
sible for this terrible traffic, which is being
carried on to such disgraceful extent.
Where are we drifting?
1t seems as though the bar was the Whole
city. These walking BOTTLES are something
alarming. This tends to make many more
drunkards. The Sabbath is sadly desecrat-
ed, as one can see without telescope. A
little boy only seven years of age was seen
on our streets in an intoxicated condition.
He was seen on the wharf with a bottle of
liquor in his pocket. Fathers are your lit
tie boys safe" 1t seems to me we are Sleep
ing ON a volcano.

FISH AND GAME. A land locked sal
mon, weighing twelve pounds and two
ounces, was caught in Peabody Pond
Bridgeton March 22d, by j. F. Libby.
Some seven years ago the pond was stock
ed with this fish, and some of them have
been seen occasionally previous to this
time. Three years ago one was caught
weighing four pounds, but nothing like
the one caught by Mr.. Libby has been seen
before. Much care has been exercised
during these seven years to protect the
fish in this pond, and the benefit of such
care is now beginning to be realized. This
is the same pond from which the seven
and half pound pickerel was taken some
weeks ago and it is also quite a good fish

apply to foreign craft. Therefore, it is
possible for Nova Scotia vessels to engage
in this business. landing their fish at

A Mugwump Falsifier.

In opening the debate against the Bland
bill the other day, Mr.. George Fred Williams
announced that he spoke ''out of a party"
the Democratic party, (which during the
periods of resumption never altered its de-
termination to assist in and secure the re-
sumption of specie payments" The Resump-
ton act was passed in 1875. In 1876 the
Democratic party manifested it's determina-
tion to assist in and secure the resump-
tion of specie payments by adopting the fol-
lowing as part of it's national platform ::
"We denounce the resumption clause of the
act of 1875 and we here demand it's repeal

Mr.. George Fred Williams lies; perhaps it
will favor us with some gentle euphemism
byIwhich we can describe such statements as

Navigation on the kennebec and Pc

The Bangor Wing of Tuesday says: The
ice in the river is ont as far as Hampden Mar
rows and looks very weak above there. In
this port while the ice does not look strong
neither does it look weak, and it seems to be
stronger than three weeks ago during the
warm spell when it was thought that it might
leave the river. The cold snap afterwards,
however, made it quite solid again, 1t would
take but little to send the ice out.
A despatch of the 2Sth from Richmond
says The ice in the Kennebec is fast break
