Rev. William A. Drew of this city is an
nounced to deliver his Lecture on the Pilgrim
Fathers in Waterville, on Tuesday next, the
8th inst, before the “Euphemian Society,” a
literary body connected with the Classical In
stitute. _
It will I e seen by notice in another column
that the trains will commence running regu
larly between this city and Skowhcgan on
Friday. The railroad company have pushed
on the work at Seven Mile brook with com- ,
mcndable alacrity.
There it increased interest in the welfare j
of the boys at the State Reform School. A !
new day school is soon to he organized, with
efficient teachers. There are now about two
hundred hoys at the institution, the most ot
them between twelve atul seventeen years ol
age, as we learn from Tobias Lord, Esq.
The railroad company are erecting a station
at the east end of the demolished railroad '
bridge in this city. After the completion ot ’
the bridge at Seven Mile brook, passengers
for the east will purchase their tickets from I
this station, as this will be a permanent sta- |
lion until the rebuilding of the railroad bridge.
A new material for wash dresses is satin

Col. H. A. DeWitt has been confined to his
house by sickness since the day of the great
freshet. By over-exertion and exposure he
contracted a lung fever from which he has
since suffered. On Tuesday his case exhibit
ed alarming symptoms, but we are glad Jto
learn that yesterday he was more comforta
ble.
Our correspondent at Daman-cotta informs
us that there is a match factory at tliat place
that uses about nine hundred cords of pine
wood annually in the manufacture of matches.
There arc also at Damariscotta, five saw
mills, a foundry and a grist mill. There are
six stores doing a good business: also two
churches in a flourishing condition, and two j
hotels.
Nathaniel Appleton, a distinguished divine
and minister of Cambridge, Mass., born in
1062, received the second degree of Doctor of :
Divinity which the Cambridge University ever
conferred, the first having been conferred on
Increase Mather 60 years before. If the col
leges would now-a-days allow the same in
terval to occur in the conferring of I). D.s,
the title in most cases would mean something
more than Fiddle D. D.'s J.
Dr. I. Farrar, recently of Hartford, now
stoppping in this city, has placed in our hands
a little book of which he is the author, entitled
“It’s for another.” The person who buys it
for “another” will find in it matter of vital in
terest to himself, as it deal* with subjects of
great importance as bearing upon the health
and happiness of the whole human race. It
treats upon a delicate subject, but because the
subject is of such a character it has heretofore
been kept too much in the dark. Much light
may be gleaned by a perusal of this little work.
Whoever undertakes to read it, will not put
it down until the bottom of the last page is
reached. The book may be obtained of Dr.
Farrar.
In the cry about womcn’i'fights, people arc
liable to overlook women's wrongs. Among
these may be mentioned the great inequality
of wages between men and women. If a
woman performs a certain piece of work with
the tame skill and despatch as a man, she
should in all fairness receive the same com
pensation. There has been a great reform in
this particular the last few years. We need
not draw upon the experience of the aged to
cite the time when woman's labor was not
allowed to come in competition with the labor
of man, when a woman had to remnin in ob
scurity, while her brother witli perhaps in
ferior business capacities had permission by
the rules of society to engage in every de
partment of industry. Now, there are many
nositions which women are called to fill, and
which public sentiment at the present day is
forced to acknowledge are filled with ability.
This point gained—woman recognized as a
co-worker-with man—the remaining problem
to be solved is that of compensation. Reason
and common sense concur in the opiniou that
the same amount of labor performed in an
equally skillful manner by either sex, should
be entitled to the same reward.
The Bangor Whig speaks of a sad case. A
voung gentleman, named Weymouth, living
in Stetson, has for two years or more suffered
with necrosis or mortification of the tibia or
thick bone of the lower leg. The disease is
the result of humor, and is gradual in its
effect, but has until late years been supposed
incurable, and to necessitate amputation.
The effect is curious, for when the bone be
gins to mortify, weaken and crumble, a new
bone forms around it, making a perfect sock
et for the necrosis, with the exception of here
and tbero an aperture, or “breathing place"
for the old hone. While the old bone remains
in, of the course the new bone can never at
tain the strength and firmness of the natural
structure. Mr. Weymouth submitted his
ease to the Drs. Scavey sometime since, who
decided that it could he cured. They twice
operated on the hone just below the knee, re
moving the necrosis where met each time.
Yesterday Mr. Weymouth came to town for
the final operation. This was just above the
ankle, and was a very delicate one owing to
the structure of the lames in that locality. It
is necessary to eut away the new bone or
shell on one side and then remove the necrosis
oy small sections, which are cut and removed
with great difficulty. The operation was suc
cessful, and the Doctors promise the young
man now that lie shall have a perfect leg in a
short time.

That large and wealthy agricultural town
between Waterville and Skowhegan, Fair
field, nnd its flourishing embryo city on the
Kennebec, is a very Fair-ville, and by such a
name, rather than the mills of Kendall, (who
has owned none of the mills for a generation.)
it should henceforth be called. Will the Leg

A mass meeting of the citizens of Pi-cata
quis was held at tile Court House in Dover,
Wednesday evening, Feb. 113, to consider the
question of railroad consolidation. At the
appointed hour a large number had assembled,
representing all parts of the county. After
the meeting was organized, the lion. Josiali
Crosby, of Dexter, was introduced and deliv
ered an able speech of over one hour’s li ngth,
opposing consolidation. Mr. Crosby was fol
lowed by lion. A. M. Kobinson, who poke
more particularly of the local effects o! con
solidation, and at the close of his speech of
fered the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted :
Htsolvtd, That the proposed consolidation
of all the connecting Uailronds of the State
into one monster corporation, by placing ex
orbitant power in the hands of a few men and
their unknown and perhaps unscrupulous
successors forever, by its exclusive control of
fares and rates, by its extinction of the ad
vantages of competition both as to fares and
rates and the building of new railroads, by
the subjection of all railway interests to its
own dictation, by its unrestrained and unre
strainable power of corruption, is fraught
witli imminent danger to the material inter
ests. and liberties of the people, and calls
earnestly upon all the friends of equal rights
to utter their emphatic protest against the un
hallowed proposition.
Resolved, That the consolidation of the P.
& K. and M. C. Uailroads is equally objec
tionable inasmuch as those companies by
their central position, the enormous me ans at
their command, and overshadowing influence,
would soon drag all other railroads into their
capacious maw, and the inevitable result
would be that all the purposes contemplated
by a present consolidation of all railroads
would shortly be accomplished.
Resolved, That we respectfully reque-t the
Senator and Hepresentatives of Piscataquis
county to use all honorable means to defeat
consolidation in all its forms.
Rttolred. Tlwt a copy ot these resolutions
be forwarded to our Senator and Represen
tatives, and that the same be published in the
Piscataquis Observer, Bangor Whig and
Courier, Daily Kennebec Journal, and Daily
Argus.

Patent Resolvent, or Paint and Varn
ish Remover.—This substance is in tie form
of a paste. It is easily applied and will re
move the hardest and oldest paint from any
surface in about thirty minutes, without
scraping, and without injuring the wood or
making it unfit to receive fresh paint. It wilt
remove varnish from elaborately carved furni
ture and prepare it for oil. The cost of re
moving paint from old shutters. Ac., by burn
ing, is about twenty-five cents per foot, and
the wood is apt to be damaged by charring :
by this Resolvent, the work can be done in
much less time and without the slighter pos
sibility of damage to the wood, for three to
four cents per foot.

Number One Hundred Thotsand.—On
the 15th day uf December. 184C, the Connect
icut Mutual Life Insurance Company issued
policy No. 1. On the aid day of January,
1870. was issued No. 100,000.
This is the first company in the country,
with one exception, and we believe in the
world, which has issued 100,000 policies, and
there was quite a commotion among the agen
cies of the company as the time drew near
when the number 100,000 would be reached.
Letters and telegrams were received from all
parts of the country asking for that number,
but it was finally awarded to Wm. E. Harvey,
Esq., of this city, actuary of the St. I.ouis
Mutual Life Insurance company. The policy
is for 810.000. and was written in the strong
hand of Hon. G. S. Gilman, one of the Con
necticut Mutual directors, who claimed the
honor of filling up the policy bearing that
charmed number. The success of this great
company in securing mcnmern in only >']uuu
ed by the libernlity of' its dealings with them,
as is shown by ils dividends, which during the
current year run from forty-fire to two hun
dred and forty per cent.
Its assets are over twenty-eight million
dollars, and we are informed that nearly four
millions of its immense fund is invested in
this city. A company combining the advan
tages possessed by the Connecticut Mutual,
together with substantial benefits derived by
our citizens from its bringing large sum from
the East and investing them with us, should
not he ignored by those seeking insurance.—

Washington, March 1.
The rejiort or the Senate Judiciary Com- (
mitlce on the legality of ilie present Georgia
Legislature, and whether further legislation
is necessary, was presented this morning by
Mr. Edmunds. The committee after review
ing the history of the assembling and organi
zation. say that Gen. Terry's action of ex
cluding certain inelegible members, was not
according to law, though they acquit him of
any intent to exceed his lawful authority.
The admission of persons who received
only a minority vote in plate of inelegible
members, was also illegal. The committee
therefore report that under the first resolu
tion. that in the following respects tile organ
ization of the legislature was not warranted
bv law.
pirst, In the control and direction of its
proceedings bv Mr. Harris.
Second, In the exclusion from taking the
oaths, and from taking their seats of three
members elect who offered to swear.
Third. In the seating of persons hot hav
ing a majority of vote of electors.
In respect to the second resolution, wheth
er any further legislation is necessary in re
si>ecl to the organization of the legislature,
the committee report that inasmuch as the
errors of Gen. Terry do not appear to have
worked any serious injustice in point of fact,
and as the error on the seating ot the minority
candidates was committed by the House of
Representatives, in the exercise of the right
ordinarially belonging to it. In the first in
stance, and inasmuch as it appears certain
that the terms of office of the members of thc
Legislature und State Government will ex
pire at the same time that they would, had
| the State been finally restored to its place in
! tlie Tnion, in July laliS. They feel justified
in omitting to recommend any further legis
lation on the subject of organizing the legis
lature.
Full Particulars of the Loss of the
Steamer Golden City.
S.vs Fnaxcisco, Mar. 1.
The particulars of the loss of the steam
ship Golden City are as follows :
The Golden City left this port on the 18th
I of February for Penama, with 500 passengers
for New York, and a valuable cargo includ
ing teas received by the China steamer, and
a heavy treasure list.
On the morning of the 22d, about 7 o’clock,
she went ashore near Point l.azaro, Lower
California, about 15 miles distant from the
Pay of Santa Maria. The passengers and
! treasures were landed with little difficulty,
the waterdieing smooth, but the locality was
barran and far from human inhabitation. A
party was immediately sent to Point l.azaro
to erect a signal, and to keep a lookout for
j the steamship Colorado, which was about due
! from Panama, and was signalled at about
noon on the 24th. It was impossib^- for tlie
! steamer to receive the sufferers on board at
the scene of the disaster, owing to the heavy
surf; and they were compelled to walk to
Santa Maria Hay over an utterly barran
waste, enduring groat distress from hunger
| and thirst. Several were lost in the sand
hills and hushes, and had to he abandoned by
I the steamer. Only a small quantity of pro
V IP lull S UIIU BBin.ni 1 i AA *1 win iiiv "nvn,
ami it was fortunate that the Colorado arrived
so soon, or otherwise intense suffering must
have resulted. When the wreck commenced
breaking up and the cargo drifted ashore,
some casks containing liquor were broken
open by the- passengers and drunkenness and
disorder ensued. Fearing bloodshed would
be the result, a strung party of the passen
gers organized to destroy the liquors as fast
as it came ashore. The passengers had no
confidence in Captain Comstock, and paid no
attention to his orders. They held an indig
nation meeting on board the Colorado, and
passed resolutions to the effect that in their
opinion the wreck ot the Golden City, was
due to the incapability or carlessness of the
commandoring officer, and much of the un
necessary suffering on shore could be traced
to the same source.
The passengers with but ftw exceptions,
reached here last night. The baggage and
treasures were left on the beach under pro
per guard.
Robbery.
Hartfoiid, Conn., March 1.
Edward Kalev, a soloon keeper in Willi

Indian Affairs.
Chicago. March l,
A letter from Col. T). Stanley, of Dakotah
Territory, gives a discouraging account of
Indian Affairs in that region, based chiefly
upon the information brought by a young
Sioux chief, named Little White Swan. The
chief Is very friendly to the white* and is re
garded as perfectly reliable. lie says that re
cently a notorious renegade and murderer
named John Kicharda stirred up and influ
enced his people against the whites, ami that
the hostilities of the coming season will prob
ably be worse than ever before.
Several other tribes besides the .Sioux are
becoming more hostile and are sending war
parties in the direction of the riattee.
A severe battle was fought lietween a party
of Sioux and Crows. Twelve sioux and
nearly all of the Crows engaged were killed.
