• A cross-eyed person who wants a left-handed
saw, sends the following order to a hardware
store in this city : "Fleas have the thread cut
left-handed, so that the saw will keap tite.”
That spelling is a little "tite” on the educa
tional advantages of the town where the gen
tleman resides.

Another portion of the Kennebec dam was
carried awpy sometime during Thursday
night, injuring the structure more than the
carrying away of the first portion during j
the great freshet. Probably the section that !
has just been removed was weakened by the
first lreshet. The water above the dam lias
fillen abont three feet, leaving the canals !
nearly empty.
The Masquerade Surprise Party is the in
stitution of the season at Richmond. About
fifty of the citizens of that town and immediate
vicinity, in costume met at the house of Isaac
A. Merriman, on Wednesday evening last,
carrying refreshments with them, and made
merry until the small hours. The removal |
of the masks disclosed that the company was
composed of the elite of that and adjoining
towns. A gay time was the universal verdict.
Oupt. Nathaniel llohin-on. oneof the oldest ■
if not the very oldest resident of Augusta, died
on Saturday morning, at the advanced age of
1)1 years. Captain Robinson lias lived for
many years upon the farm where Ite died, was
a man of the strirtest integrity, bearing a
character above reproach, with a generous
heart in which there was apparently no guile,
and lie naturally drew towards him many true
friends and made no enemies. The funeral
services will take place this afternoon at two
o’clock, at the Unitarian church, to be con- j
ducted by Rev. Wm. A. Drew.
At a meeting of tile Haydn Association,
held in this city on last Friday evening, the
following officers were elected for the ensuing
year:
President—Charles Milliken ; Vice Presi
dent—diaries Ji. Johnson; Executive Com
mittee—Charles Milliken, George E. Weeks,
Daniel I). Scwall; Conductor—M. C. Milli
ken; Pianist—Miss 11. S. Patterson; Secre
tary and Treasurer—J. E. Robinson. This
association was organized for the mutual im
provement of its members, and tor the pur- '
pose of fully developing the musical talent in
this city. They have met during the past
winter for practice, and it is their intention
before long to give a grand concert, w hich we
hope will be liberally patronized.
We are disposed to give the w riter of the
following touching appeal “to the powers
that be," a hearing in our columns on a sub
ject that the lady petitioner deems of vital
importance:
To the lion. Mayor and members of the City
Council:
Wanteb—all llH‘ able-bodied nun compos
ing the municipal officers of Augusta, to walk
in procession through Orchard strict from
Wintlirop to (irecti streets, in said city, any
day after 10 A. M., until the first week in
May, or if the spring be backward two or
throe weeks longer. The condition of the side- 1
walk on Orchard street cannot wi ll be ex
pressed by any one word. "Muddy" is alto
gether too tame and doesn't begin to cover it.
To say the least it is not creditable to the city
to let the walks remain from year to year in
suelt a state, that they are nearly impassable for
six or seven weeks every spring. People ex
pect the roads to he had while the frost is
coming out of the grounds, hut to our finite
judgment, there scents no reason why the
sidewalks should not he something better
than dirt. If a resident of Orchard street
goes out in the morning before the ground
thaws, lie must either remain out until it
freezes again at night, or literally wade to get
hack again. If one could have his choice
don’t you think he would prefer to “sink or
swim,” if either course be necessary, in some
thing la tter than mud ?
We have hoped continually for a change—a
better sidewalk and a more complete drainage;
all we wanted w.as a simple necessity, pro
tection from sinking through to China. To
our patience and long-suffering we have added
prayer and supplication to those high in au
thority. Thrice have our city fathers been ap
proached on this very subject Once a petition
was signed by the ladies and presented to the
council praying that, as they had borne so
much discomfort with so little grumbling,
they might he heard then, and that a concrete
walk might be laid the length of the street.
Tltis was in the days of the democracy of 1801).
Evidently the doctrine of Women’s Mights was
not in favor, for the document was forgotten.
Now I appeal to the members of the city
government: are we asking for a luxury or a
necessity, when we ask for a concrete walk on
this street ? It would seem to be needed here,
if anywhere. Directly at the foot of the hill'
#vT>’ get the full force of the miniature torrents
of melted snow which rush down the sides
with the first warm days of early spring, and
there being no decent drainage to carry it
away, there the water stands until the ground
thaws so it can escape that way, or until a
midsummer sun will dry it.
Men who pay taxes on property, should at
least ho accommodated hy havingdecent side
walks passing such property, and a sidewalk,
with mud from eight to ten inches deep, is
very far from passable. Were there no rem
edy, we could utter no complaint, but it seems
slightly unjust that improvements are neg
lected here, where the need is so palpable.
One who lives on Orchard Si kilt.
Mr. Joursai. : Will you be good enough
to inform the public, why. at this muddy sea
son. tile crossings on our principal streets,
cannot he kept clear of mud ? One man, al
ready in the employ of the city, cmpl iycd per
haps for other purposes, might spend one or
two hours of his time in clearing the crossings.
It is too had to allow such a state ot things to
exist longer. Our business as well as our
comfort demands this reform. J.

THE SILENT SEWING MACHINE!
AS A FAMILY ASSISTANT,
The Willcox & (Jibbs Sewing Machine!
Will be found to excel all others. The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all
kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
are points that astonish and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa
miliar witli this Machine, do not yet know the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma
chine in the family, though they may possess many others and think they are satisfied.
In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,
That its strongest advocates and most enthusiastic admirers are always found among
those who have used and arc most familiar with other leading machines.
From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, wc select the following
from the city of Augusta :
AUGUSTA, March, 1870.
Having used the Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon
all the various kinds of work required, some of ua from one to six years, others for
a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with the use of other leading machines,
we cheerfully recommend it as a most excellent family machine. It runs easily ana
quietly, is simple and easy in its management, does not get out of order, is always
ready, ita work is strong and durable, and in all respects gives moat entire satisfaction.

MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE CO.,
OF HARTFORD, COAX.
Assets, $27,506,479.26
Mirplus, (computing Re-Insurance bv
N Y. Legal standard,) ’ 9.671,$75.26
Income for 18159, 8.978,751.23
Total Death Claim* paid to date, 9.503,987.00
Total Surplus Premiums returned to

Total Amount Insured, over

This Company is purely Mutual, there being no '
Stockholder- to’absorb any portion of it* funds, its
surplus belonging wholly to it- members, and being
equitably apportioned among them in Annual Divi
dend-, o’r returns of surplus premium*.
In comparison with other American Life Compa-!
nie-. the Connecticut Mutual has conducted its
bti.-iuese at a Lower Average Rule of Expenses;
its Claim® by Death have averaged les*. in propor
tion, than those of any other Company having a suf
ficient extent of business to test the law of mortal
ity; and
Its Asset* have been uniformly invested at a net
rate of intere-t exceeding that realized by any sinii-!
lar institution.
The necessary result of this economy in manage
ment, careful selection of live-, and highly produc
tive investment*, has been that the Connecticut
Mi tual has afforded Insurance to its members at a
Less Average Cost, than any other Company.
It- investments are securely and Proiltably made,
and contain NO Commuted’ Commissions, Fancy
>tocks. Personal securities, nor any Imaginary or i
Unrealized A-.-et*. ’ .
lteyond doubt, the Connecticut Mutual is the i
Stronge.-t Life Jn-urance Company in the World;
its ratio o t Assets to Liabilities, a-measured by the ■
New York Legal M.mdard, i- ^135.50 per $lOO |
and it grant- all dcsirqble forms of Insurance upon
strictly Equitable Terms, and at the Cheapest At
tainable Kates of Cost.
