THE OUVERSOirS MESSAGE.
The fourth annual message of Governor
Chamberlain to the Legislature of Maine,
has the scholarly finish and completeness
which all his public papers have, and con
tains a thorough statement of the concerns
of the State, with many wise suggestions
and recommendations. It will be read
with pleasure by the people, and impress
the Legislature anew with the ability and
honesty of its author.
* The message appropriately opens by
acknowledging and invoking the Divine
l'avor. Following this it points out tin
duty of scrutinizing men and measures
more carefully in these times than during
the war, and looking sharply to the restor
ation of the general prosperity. Sound
judgment, honesty and industry are de
manded.
A fine tribute is paid to William Pitt
Fessenden, aud his course held up as an
example to young men. The appoint
ment of Hon. Lot M. Morrill as United
States Senator is mentioned and the nec
essity of an election for Senator at this
session.
I he financial condition ot the Mate is
favorable. The receipts during the year
have been $939,814,50, while the expen
ditures have been $919,609,80. The sink
ing fund is $972,530. Of our debt $800,
000 falls due in 1871, which the sinking
fund in its present condition will pay and
have a balance left of $172,530, so that
we already have that sum in advance of
our liabilities for 1871, and at that time
and the present rate of increase we shall
be $300,800 ahead. The whole public
debt January 1, 1870, including the civil
and war debt and municipal reimburse
ment loan is $8,000,000. Expenditures
have been so economized the past year
that the loan authorized to meet current
expenses has not been resorted to, nor
have the appropriation* been exhausted.
Reference is made to the assumption of
the war debt and the bonds necessary to
be issued.
The Governor recommends a tax upon
foreign insurance companies doing busi
ness in the State, but does not approve of
taxing savings banks. The old State bank
system is dead and will have to be given
up. What the State needs is capital. We
are crippled for want of it. The Governor
thinks the national government should re
duce taxation and not undertake to pay
the public debt too rapidly. lie thinks it
would tend to make money more plenty
and help our case to perfect and make
'practicable our free banking law and
legalize higher rates of Interest.
The public institutions arc in a satisfac
tory condition. The Reform School shows
excellent management. An Industrial
School for girls is needed. The State
Prison does better and better. It pays its
expenses this year and loaves a balance
of $689,90,—a marked, change in the bal
lanee of accounts. Everything is done
for the improvement and welfare of the
convicts that can be in the circumstances.
Attention is called to the evils of our jail
system. The present mode of dealing
with the deaf and dumb is approved. The
Insane Hospital is full and the new wing
needs to be finished to accommodate ap
plicants. The Governor would have the
grouuds laid out and improved, and give
the patients more out-doors recreation
and employment.
The educational interests of the State
arc improving. More improvement has
been made in the common schools than in
anything else. The Normal Schools,
County Supervisorships and Institutes
have produced great results. Much has
been wasted in this direction in times past,
but better things have now begun. The
College of Agriculture and Mechanical
Arts fails to attain the prosperity hoped
for, partly because farming, manufactures
and mechanics have not asserted tlieir
rights in the college, and partly because
there is some dissatisfaction about the lo
cation. The publications of the Historical
; Society are noticed with high approbation.
The doings of the Board of Guardians of
, destitute orphans, soldiers anti sailors are
: commended, and attention called to the
Orphan Asylums at Bangor and Bath.
| Tlie result of the measures for organizing
; the militia has been satisfactory. The pre
sent law is good enough for all exigencies.
The State Pension law lias been well
administered; the amount paid for the
year is about $.‘>5,000.
The law for reviews in capital cases,
passed at the last session, the Governor
would have repealed. The revision of
the statutes, now being made, he would
: have carefully scrutinized. He thinks the
pay of the Judges of the Supreme Court
is not sufficient, and suggests that their
i circuit expenses be audited and paid by
the State. The amendment to the consti-!
tution authorizing the legislature to di
vide towns into voting districts having
been adopted, the constitution is amended
; accordingly. The work of the State
Liquor Commissioner has been satisfac
tory but the practice of turning confiscated
, liquors into town agencies is not approved.
He is of opinion that our liquor laws are
hilling into disrespect His reasons for
his belief are forcibly given ; lie reviews
and condemns severely the course of the '
third party men, and vindicates himself
against the unworthy imputations cast
upon him by them. I
Agriculture is placed at the head of our
material interests. The Governor's re
marks upon this subject are not extended
j but pertinent. For settling our public
lands Swedish immigration is mentioned.
Interest in manufactures and railroads has
, so increased within three years as to
mark an epoch in our history. The im
i provement of our water power is urged.
In the building of railroads great enter
prise is shown ; more than 250 miles be- j
ing now in process of construction. The |
consolidation of prominent lines of rail
road in the State is considered favorably.
With a brief reference to the past of the 1
Slate and the future prospect this able.
State paper closes.
XL IF PUBLIC A TIOXS.
Lee and Shepard publish a book entitled |
“Mirthfulness audits Exciters; or Rational!
Laughter and its Promoters. ’’ The author of
this mirthful book is B. F. Clarke, and a
funny thing about it is that lie was pastor of
the Congregational Church at North Chelms
ford, Mass., from 1839 to 1809. It has essays
on mirth, anecdotes about all sorts of minis
ters, about lawyers doctors and literary men,
and extracts from nearly all the best humor
ists of the time. It is really u mirthtul vol
ume and will make as many laugh as read it.
; Clapp & North have it for sale.
The Maine Journal of Education for Jan
uary is published and contains many interest
ing and valuable articles for educators. They !

The morning passenger train Thursday
from Bangor on the M. C. R. R., was thrown
from the track between Detroit and Pittsfield,
: caused by a broken rail. Two cars were
thrown down an embankment, but strange to

baggage car passed safety over the break, but
the smoking and three passenger cars were
thrown from the track.
The Governor delivered his address last
evening to a large audience besides the mem

nor was frequently interrupted by applause
' during the delivery of his address.
The road leading from this city to Belfast
by the foot of Worromontogus Pond, has been
several times flowed to an unusual height
the past season, and when flowed it is danger
ous travelling in consequence of holes that
usually come in the road caused by the high
water. The rain of last Sunday raised the
water to such a height over the road that the
city authorities have caused the road to be
closed for the present, and by an examination
of the dam at the foot of the pond it appears
that the same has been recently raised, by a
new owner, for the purpose of having a larger
aeupplv of water for his mills in Pittston. He
has been notified by the Mayor to draw off
the water and pay damages.
The ice business at Gardiner lias grown to
large proportions and is constantly increasing
year by year. In addition to the companies
known as the Knickerbocker, Cheesman & Co.,
McCausiand & Co., nnu Kennebec Land and
Lumbercompanies, other companies have been
formed as the ice trade is being expanded,
i Probably the ice from this river is far supe
1 rior in many points to that secured in almost
any other portion of the country. The ice
I dealers in Pennsylvania say that the stock
I which they will lay in this winter must necessa
rily be very scant, as the ice upon which they
mainly relied has coolly withdrawn from the
streams ; therefore the ice dealers at Gardi
ner besides filling their ice houses, contem
; plate stacking a large lot in the open air,
covering it with a rough roof. This is an
open winter South, and the icc crop will be
short, and an unusual quantity of this cooling
luxury must come from Maine. The ice thus
far has been of very poor quality this winter,
and the present weather indicates no change in
that direction.
! C. 8. Pension.
Baker & Weeks, U. S. claim agents in
this city, fnrnish us with information derived
from recent orders issued from Washington
I). C., relative to certain pensions, viz :
At the time of payment of the Pension of a
widow or mother hereafter the affidavit of two
persons will be required showing that she has
not married since the decease of the soldier
| on whose account the Pension was granted,
and where the father of a soldier deceased is
in receipt of a pension he will hereafter be re
quired before payment to make oath “that he
has not by marriage or otherwise acquired
\ property or been provided with support.”
Dental.
Diseased and ulcerated teeth are bad things
to liavu in one’s mouth; they muke the breath
unpleasant, and are one of the direct causes of
dyspepsia, to say nothing of the hours of pain,
and many sleepless nights occasioned by
! them. Go to Dr. Chamberlain, Dentist; he
! makes the treatment of such cases a specialty,
' and will restore such teeth as are worth sav
j ing to a healthy condition. Then fill and
I build them up to their original shape and
beauty, to be of inestimable value and service
j for years, and such as are not worth saving,
, he will extract without pain, and supply their
1 places with artificial ones, warranted to fit
I perfectly. Tty him.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.
The clerks in the office of the Congression
al Printer have made application to the Sec
retary of the Treasury for an addition of 20
per cent, to their salaries, the increase of [
pay to date hack a year or more. The claim |
is made on the ground that the law giving I
officers of tliu Senate 20 per cent, additional
compensation, embraces the clerical force of ,
the congressional printer who is elected by
the Senate. Secretary Boulwell bus referred
the application to the first comptroller.
The following were the receipts from eus- *
touts fo the week ending l)ei. 31st: Boston, j

' .A <T
Gov. Burbank of Dacotali Territory, for
wards to the Indian office a report announc
ing the killing N'ov. 3d of three Aricarees, two
w omen, a man, and the murdering of a yoking 1
girl bv the Sioux, supposed to belong to the
Grant River Agency. The party had been j
gathering fuel 6 miles above the village, and
were floating down the river on a boat when
they were fired upon from the bank by a large
war party of Sioux. After killing them the j
Indian pifrty fired the prairie at many places !
down as far as Knife river, thus driving all .
the game out of the country and destroying j
pasturage for the herds this winter. The
damage caused by the raid will reach 810.000. j
The agent fears that numbers of cattle will |
have to be kliled to avoid the deplorable con- I
ditionof affairs that prevailed last winter, and :
says he will not hesitate to prevent starvation
by the sacrifice of the herd, unless otherwise
ordered. The man killed by the Sioux was
one of the best hunters In his tribe, and his
death is a severe blow to many dependent
upon him for meat. The Indians attacked
belong to a tribe very l’riandly to the whites, .
and the Sioux have on many occasions visited i
their abuse and outrages upon them.

From Canada.
Ottawa, Ca., Jan. G.
A meeting of the I’rivy Council was held
to-day, at which it is understood the Bed
| Hirer difficulty was discussed.
! The government will await the result of
the negotiation of Vicer Thibault and Col.
I)e Salabery, to obtain a statement of the
claim of insurgent lenders to form a basis for
! settlement. No doubt the government will
be prepared to adopt active measures in con
formity w ith the Hudson Bay Company, and
the imperial government to restore order in
i the spring. Xt is said that Governor McDou
gall’s commission as I.ieut. Governor of tlie
Northwest was only to take effect when the
country was transferred to Canada by the Im
perial Government. As this did not take
place, it is presumed lie still holds a seat in
the house of commons.
