Hocal anil £>tate Nctos. Augusta boys in California are "munching'1 strawberries. Why is Hallowell like Webster’s new Dic tionary? Because it is un(ajbridged. The advertised rcceipc for making two pounds of butter from one is nothing butter shrewd advertising dodge. The valuation commissioners have about closed up their arduous labors. They have reported in full to the legislature. At a meeting of the members of the Are de partment last evening, the present board of engineers was recommended to the city coun cil for re-election. Another snow storm yesterday with about two feet of snow, blocking railroads, side- ^ walks and streets, demonstrated how winter lores to linger in the lap of spring. Yesterday was St. Patrick’s day. There ■ was no particular demonstration among our Irish citizens, although undoubtedly the pat ron saint was held in kindly remembrance. j The afternoon train yesterday was about three hours late on account of the immense body of snow between Richmond and Bow doinham. Two horses were sold in Iloulion recently, to gentlemen from New Ytrk—one by D. W. Atherton for $1,000, and the other by A. C. Eaton for $9iH). The grocery store of Byron Mathews in Southport, was destroyed by fire the night of the 1st inat., with its entire contents. Loss $1,200; mostly covered by insurance. There is talk of building a new town house in Oldtown. The town is out of debt, hare money in tlieir pockets, and can well afford to erect a fine building. By the plan for rebuilding the railroad bridge, the bridge will be made straight, thus avoiding the angle that existed in the old bridge. The approach to the bridge on this side the river will be a little farther north than at present. The expenditures of the town of China for the past year were $33,125 01; amount of re sources exclusive of State Bonds, $39,293 31. In the hands of the Treasurer. $0,173 30. Liabilities of the town, including $12,703 33 of State Bonds, $34,955 50. We arc informed by Mr. P. O. Vickery, Chief Engineer of the Eire Department, that the total loss by fire in this city, the past year was $2,690.50; insurance on same, $090.50; losses over and above insuranee, $2,000.00. We believe this is the smallest loss by fire since Augusta was incorporated as a city. Cannot some effort be made to obtain the services of Dr. Lees, the great English tem perance lecturer, in Augusta, for one evening? We understand that he is to remain in Port land for a short time and will hold himself in readiness to respond to the invitation of par ties. The Gardiner Journal says that the plans for the new high school building are in tbe bands of the architect to be put into working shape, and as soon at completed, arrangements will be made to have the work proceeded with. Stone for tbe foundation lias been delivered on the ground, and other materials will be imme diately contracted tor, anil the building com menced as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring. The fiftieth anniversary of the admission of Maine into the Union was appropriately cele brated in Gardiner on Tuesday evening by a grand dress ball at Johnson's llall. It was pronounced decidedly the most brilliant and successful affair that has come off in Gardi diner for years. The ladies were dressed with excellent taste, bringing out a magnificent dis play of taatily arranged toilets. Several were privileged to be present from this city, and the enjoyment they received can only be meas ured by their enthusiastic description of the affair. Music was furnished by Chandler's Portland Band, and it is not necessary to say that it was excellent. Bosworth'a new clothing and turniahing store on Water, near Bridge street, has really metropolitan appearance. In all its appoint ments and arrangements it is a first class clothing store, having been arranged with the jtniost taste anel skill. Everything is "as neat a pin;” the store is roomy, airy and light; there is plenty of room for the display ol goods and the accommodation of the large number of customers who are instinctively drawn to wards Boswortli wherever he • ‘pitches his tent.” While he is now supplied with improved facil ties it is fair to presume that his list of customers will increase. As regards the in ti1 mal arangements of this establishment, we do not see how any improvement can well be made. Charlie Ayer is still “knight of the scissors," a position which he has held for many years, and has gained hosts of friends by his perfect fits. He is well assisted by Mr. McGinty. Every department of this large es tablishment is now in perfect running order^ and the proprietor is ready to meet all calls. Transfers sfReal Estate. Frank L. Hamlen of Augusta, to Kufus Y.

Ha finished at twenty min utes before three. Mr. Pillsbufy argued flit defence with his usual ability and adroitness confining himself principally to the labor oi j refuting, as he claimed, the testimony o: James Kitchen in the ease, and to make it ap : ]H-ar that his testimony was unreliable and | therefore should have no weight, and arguing that a conviction of the prisoner at the bat should not he had if there existed in the mindi | of the jury a doubt as to his guilt. Mr. Pills bury occupied three hours and a half in hit argument, lie was followed in the afternoon by Mr. Whitehousc, County Attorney, in the ! closing argument for government. Mr. White | house reviewed in a clear and able umnnei I the testimony, and argued with a good deal ol j force that the evidence of tho prisoner's guilt ! was both clear and convincing. The County Attorney held the close attention of the crowd ed eourt-rooin during the hour and a half oc , cupied in his argument. After the arguments j the Judge then excused the jury, with the assent of counsel, till morning, remarking that they must he too much fatigued aftci their long sitting in a crowded room to have the case committed to them this afternoon.

My mother watched my waking hours and slumbers. And loved and cherished me ; And mother, now I pen in broken numbers, This tribute unto thee. ; Akin to that sweet influence from the skies, The heavenly dove, Is that blest boon that never, never dit A Mother’s love. Oh, mother, hast thou gone l1 It cannot, cannot be ; And yet I know Tliy mild blue eye is dim, Thy heart no more with sorrow’s pang shall swell, Thy form is resting 'ncath the drifted «nnw, Thy weary spirit's wafted hack to Him Who doeth all things w ell. Thy gentle soul has flown, Flown to the beauteous shore. With downy wing. And round the glorious throne, Forevermore The entrancing song with seraph voice shall sing. Return, oh days of joy. E’er sin had left its stain. l>ays witen my mother heard my prayer, And loved her hoy. Return, oh days of yore ! The wild winds heeding not my bitti r woe, Come pealing with a dirge like strain. Then, sad, wild music mournfully am! slow. Like voices in the air, You call, hut call in vain; A day once past returneth nevermore. I give thee up—still sing thy glorious si ng. Farewell, a sad farewell, my mother dear. Thy soul is with the joyous white robed throng. And I. alas, am here. Rev. W. W.
