Governor Hill expects to attend,
Thursday, Jan. I. the inauguration of
Governor Bates of Massa chusettS. hav-
ing received from the Bay Stat" Exc
cutive a special invitation. Maine has
never issued invitations to other
Executives to attend inaugural ccre-
| monies, but other states are adopting
| this custom, which doubtless adds
much to the dignity and Impressive
ncss of the occasion, while the eX-
! change of such courtesies between
| states; does much to give good will and
pleasant relations. Although Massa-
chusetts INDUCES in the luxury of a
| srmbonatorial election and inauguration
every year, the installation OF its gov
| crnor is nevertheless an occasion of
great pomp and parade, with the Gus
