The large cities are talking about milk in
spectors. We think it would require a lynx
eyed inspector to find inilk in a good deal of
the liquid fluid vended as such.
The entertainment that young ladies and
gentlemen of the Winthrop street Church are
getting up, for the Cniversalist “Murray Cen

come off about the 10th of May.
The steamer Star of the East, Captain Col

There w ill be preaching to-morrow, morn
ing. afternoon and evening at the Ciranite '
church by Kev. Mr. Fay of Bangor. In the

tian.”
The Dirigo Base Ball Club of this city have
joined the National Junior Association of Base
Ball Players, a meeting of which is to be held
in Jersey City, N. J., the 4th day of May next.
The next meeting will be held in Boston to
which they will send delegates.
The Kt. Kov. Henry A Neely, I). D.. will -

Service, 7 1-2 o’clock.
By a notice in another column it will be
seen that we intend to furnish the Daily dur
ing the session of the Maine Conference in
this city, to all who desire it, outside of the
limits of our subscription list. We do this a1
the solicitation and request of prominent
members of the denomination. The Daily
will contain full reports of each day’s pro
ceedings.
That man who spends his precious time and
hard-earned money in billiard saloons, gam
bling houses and rum shops, very soon begins
to look upon his wife and children ns mere en
cumbrances, unwelcome checks to the indul
gence of his low and vicious appetites. He
grudges the necessary expenses of n house- >
hold as so much deducted from his personal
gratifications from billiards and faro, cigars
and whiskey.
Weston street in this city completely illus- !
trates the feasibility and desirableness of
drainage. The residents on that street clubbed
together last year and helped the city bear the
burdens of putting in an under-drain the en
tire length of the street. During the mud and
slosh of this spring no street in the city has
been more free from these disagreeable im
pediments to travel. From a low avenue of
travel it has been changed to a street that pe- 1
destrians in that vicinity are sure to patronize.
Messrs. Allen, Small & Co., machinists, t
next door to the Journal office, have invented
a machine for coiling wire for Fisk's patent
spring for beds, car seats. &c. The machine '
acts almost with the intelligence of a human
being, and docs its work nicely and rapidly.
It makes about seventy-five coils n minute,
and can be adjusted so as to make the coils at
any desired length. This firm is doing a good j
business in the machinery line. The present
machine is a good sample of the mechanical in
genuity of these skilful machinists.
A concert will shortly be given in this city
by the Mendelesohn {Quintette Club of Boston,
assisted by Mrs. J. W. Weston, also of Bos
ton. This celebrated Club have just returned ’
from an extended trip to the West and intend j
to give a scries of concerts in Maine. This |
gives all lovers of music a treat rarely afford
ed to us. The Club have met with enthusias- I
tic receptions throughout the Western States, ^
and their reception here will not be less j
hearty. The date of the concert will be an- i
nounced hereafter.
It is certainly gratifying to receive commu
nications like the following. Although not in
tended for publication, the writer will pardon
us for giving it to our readers, as it is but a
fair sample of many letters we have recently
received :
Uldtown, April 2d, ls.u.
Messrs. Sprague, Owen & Nash:
Gents : Enclosed are five dollars on account
of the Kennebec Journal. I used once to
take pride iti reading “my own paper," that
is, one paid for in advance, hut I find as age
creeps upon me, I am getting more careless
and am more apt to neglect these things.
I have taken the Journal since August,
1*42, and have every number save one, and as ,
long as it maintains the integrity of the coun
try, 1 expect to remain a subscriber.
Respectfully yours, &e..
David Norton.
The new millinery rooms of Miss M. 1’.
Soule, on Water street, are attracting the at
tention of the ladies who about this season of
the year are making changes in their head
dresses to conform to the ever changing and
fluctuating whims of fashion. The store is
the one formerly occupied by Mr. Bosworth,
158 Water street. It has been most thorough
ly renovated and painted and fitted up with
neatness and taste for the special business to
which it is now devoted. The location is un
doubtedly one of the best in the city; right in
die centre of business, and easy of access from
ill quarters. Miss Soule has recently spent
ionic time in New York and Boston, attending
icrsonally to the selection of her present large
itock of millinery. She has therefore select
id only such articles as are in demand here,
ind has taken care not to lay in a stock of
foods that will accumulate and rust out on
'tore shelves, and which must come out of the
lockets of customers in the long run. She
las now ample room for all her customers,
ind has been enabled, in addition to her stock j
if millinery, to put in a full line of Fancy '
Joods. In millinery she has everything from a |
wenty-five cent hat to the most expensive J
iridal bonnet. Her spring trade opens finely ;
he lias engaged the services of five milliners
o attend to the increasing demands of her
rade, and ensure promptness in the despatch
■f work. With a pleasant and convenient lo
ation, ample assistance in her work, and a
Imposition to please her customers, we do not
au why this enterprising milliner is noton
lie high road to prosperity.
Incourage Young Men.
The complaint is quite common, that very
uany of the young men and boys amongst us, I
are growing up to habits of idleness and dis
sipation. This may be true, to a lamentable
extent. But “is there not a cause?" and is
that cause always to be found in an aversion
to work? This inquiry is suggested by a fact
that came to our knowledge some days since.
A young man of good capacities and virtuous
1 habits, about IS years ofage, came to this eity
from one of our country towns, curly last
week, to see if he could find a cKanccto learn
a trade, or obtain some situation where by a
faithful application to its duties, lie might ac-,
quire the means of support, nnd qualify him
for manhood usefulness. He called on ma
chinists, carpenters, blacksmiths, cabinet
makers, cordwainers, harness makers, bakers,
printers, iron-founders, tin plate workers,
hard-ware and dry-goods, grocers, and, in
deed, everywhere he could think of, to obtain
an opportunity to b arn some honest trade,
or other useful calling, hut in all cases, and
every where, he was answered with the
prompt and discouraging word, NO! Not
willing to give it up so. after exhausting Au
gusta. he went to the industrious and enter
prising city of Gardiner. There he visited
every mechanic shop, and store in the place
that could he supposed to oficr him an oppor
tunity for success; but there as in this city,
the terrible “NO” met him in every case.
After spending a whole week in his fruitless
endeavors to obtain a chance to learn some
respectable trade, he took to bis feet in the mud
and travelled all the way in his lonesome
journey to his home. lie was orphanized in |
early childhood: but not willing to depend |
longer upon distant relatives, he started on a
worthy purpose, which proved a discouraging
failure. Now what I w ish to say, in this state
of things is this : if our young men cannot
meet with sympathy and aid in obtaining]
chances to qualify themselves for place ot;
usefulness and honor in the world, we need
not marvel very much that we Imre so many i
youth who are forming habits of idleness and
dissipation—on the dow nward road to ruin.
I).
Bad Roads.
In all that is written about road making and
repairing. 1 see no suggestion for a drain four
or five feet deep, by two feet in width, filled
up to near the surface with stones, or poles,
and boughs, with a foot of earth on top,)
made in the centre, w ith proper outlets, (of
which, hut few are needed.) and for the en
tire length of the pieces of road usually found
wet and miry for some weeks follow ing the
melting of the snow and ice in the Spring, and
after heavy rains. Such a drain has i ffect
ually cured wet and muddy door yards, and
farm roads, and 1 have yet to learn why it
may not be entirely successful with our
travelled highway, thus afflicted. This kind
of drain leaves the road bed dry as low as the
bottom of the drain, at the fr, ezing up of the
ground in the fall, and promptly disposes of
the melting snow s and heavy rain- of the
Spring, and at other times. Gravelling wet
pieces of road not thus drained, is wholly in
effectual tor securing a good, dry. hard sur
face for travel. Grove street in this city from
State to near the east end of Green, could
thus be cheaply made as bard and dry a road
at all times as there is in Augusta, while for
at least two months out of each twelve, for
the past ten years, in spring and fall, to my
certain knowledge it is so miry as to render
it difficult for horses to drag carriages through
it. Both ends of the drain could be vented
near the centre, into the brook that is bridged
over In tween the points named. Western Av- j
euue, from near the dwelling house of Hon.
J. I.. Stevens, to State street, could lie made
equally good by such a drain, vented into the
sewer of the Augusta House. II.

THE FEE SHE T.
At Lawrence, Mass., the water was very
high. The upper bridge is damaged so
that it will have to be rebuilt. The rail
road bridge is also damaged.
At Haverhill it was the great"-t flood
j since IS,'2.
At Concord the water was very high and
travel was stopped on some of the rail
roads in consequence.
Th" freshet in the Blackwater river was
the highest on record, being three feet or
more higher than the October freshet and
a few inches above the famous overflow of)
1826. j
The dam at Scytbevilie, in New London,:
was swept away. In West Salisbury the
lumber mill on the Stephen Pingree estate
was destroyed, and the highway in the vi
cinity for the ili-dance of three-quarters of!
a mile was completely torn up. Bullock
it Son, lumber dealers in Webster, were
damaged to the amount of $1000. The
long bridge, which was carried away on
the Northern Railroad, was also on this
river.
The Centoocook river was higher than for
many years, and there was great alarm for a
time at Fishcrville. The river ran over the
planks of the bridge in the village, and tiie
foundations of several buildings wire dam- i
aged. A large amount of logs belonging to |
John Whittaker, near Fishcrville, were car
ried over bis dam and scattered in ail direc-1
tions.
1 lie bridge over tlie Suncook river in Ep
>om and several bridges in Deerfield have
tteen carried away.
At Claremont the freshet in theSugar river j
was the highest known for many years. The j
back wall of the mill of the Claremont Manu
facturing Company fell into the river, and the
damage to that corporation is about 83000.
One of the bridges at Claremont was carried
away.
The injury done hv the flood in many places
in the interior is greater than the destruction
af last October, and the damage throughout
New Hampshire may be expected to reach
the sum of half a million dollars.
At the latest accounts the waters were sub
siding, and the trains were beginning to run
again. It is said the river was higher at some j
[mints than since 1780.
Maine Methodist Conference.
The Maine Annual Conference of the Methodist!
Episcopal church will convene in this city on the j
Itli of May, and continue in session more than a !
week. As the proceedings will be matter of in
terest to a large body of Methodists and others be
yond the ordinary circulation of our paper, wo
propose to publish each day’s proceedings in the
Daily Journal, and invite all who desire to obtain
the proceedings to send on their names at once.
We will send the Daily during the session of the !
Conference to any address for :J5 cents, paj iucnt to
be made in advance. Packages of 50 to one ad
dress furnished during the session lor $i*.
We have made this arrangement more for the ac
commodation of the denomination that will meet m
conference than for any hope of pecuniary reward.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Washington, April 22.
;
Senate. In Senate to-day the invalid pen- t
sion bill appropriating $;l0,000,noo, was !
passed with an amendment striking out the
clause converting the Navy pension fund into
the treasury.
A bill to prevent counterfeiting foreign
trade marks by treaty stipulation, was passed.
It gives foreigners the right to prosecute iu
the federal courts, and disposes of a doubt ex
isting since the formation of the government.
Mr. Sumner’s hill providing for n return to i
specie payment was indefinitely postponed, I
and after a brief executive session Senate ad- !
journed till Monday.
IIot.'SE. The House occupied the morning j
hour in discussing the bill establishing the ti
tle to the Hot Springs of the Arkansas reser
vation, after which the consideration of the
Tariff bill in Committee of the Whole was re- 1
sumed.
31 r. .Juuu ottered an amendment providing
that no manufacturers of iron shall pay loss
than 35 per cent ad valonim, on all woolen
and cotton manufacturers, and on railroad
iron one tenth less, provided, that no woolen i
or cotton manufacturers shall pay less than
' 85 per cent ad valorum; also to reduce the
income tax to three per cent, on incomes
over #2,500. and repeal all special taxes on
distillers, rectifiers, liquor dealers, brewers,
manufacturers and dealers in tobacco and
cigars, and snuff and hanks and bankers.
The chairman decided tiiat a substitute
might he offered, hut could not he considered
or voted on until all the sections on those
subjects have been passed.
A long discussion followed on the next
paragraph, which resulted in fixing the duty
on all iron in slabs, blooms, loops or other
forms less finished than bars, and more ad- I
vanced than pig iron, except castings at #1*
per ton ; and on all ends, clippings and pund
ings of new iron, #11 per ton, instead of one
cent per pound as reported by the committee.
The House then teok a recess.
House, evening session. The roll was
called throe times before a quorum was ob
tained, when the Speaker pro tom (Mr.
Dawes of Mass..) directed the doors to be
closed and absentees be called upon for their
excuses.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Apr?! 22.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will re
port a bill enforcing the 15th Amendment next
week, and the Committee on Ways and Means
will take up the funding hill in a day or two.
The Senate to-day passed the bill intro
duced hv Mr. Sawyer a year ago, prescribing
the oath of office to be taken by persons who
participated in the late rebellion, but who
were not disqualified from holding office by
the 14th amendment. The oath is that pre
scribed in the act of July 11, and is the
one now taken by congressmen whose disa
bilities have*been removed. The bill, if it
shall become a law. will practically relieve
about a half million persons, and enable a
great majority of the southern people to hold ,
federal offices.
FROM NEW YORK.
New York, April 22.
While the hark Acton was raising her
anchor in North river this afternoon, it was !
found that a cannon and a carriage hud got'
entangled with the chain and anchor. The '
gun bore the brand of the Alger works, lies-1
ton. 1801, and appeared to have .been but a
short time in the water, as it was perfectly i
clean.

Supposed to be Horned.
The burning t easel seen by the Doriar on ,
Wednesday, in the middle of the gulf stream, i
2oo miles west-south-west of Httteras, is gen-'
erally believed to have been the Cleopatra,
from Havana, for New York, now five days
overdue. The passengers ami crew Imd ap
parently abandoned her in boats, and she was
so nearly consumed that identification was
impossible. The .lametta, which arrived at
Philadelphia Monday, having left Havana the
day after Cleopatra, passed the latter on her'
voyage up lying still as though repairing he j
machinery.

A New Era in Piano Fortes!
H AS now become an established fact, acknow
ledged by the best judges of music in all parts
of the country, Unit the
Mathushek Piano,
Is bound to take the lead for
Rleh, Pure, and Powerful Tone !
Which speaks for itself m notes of triumph over all
others. The Reason of this Great Superiority
js apparent to all who carefully examine the pecu
liar mechanism of these instruments in
Tito Equalizing Scalp,
which distributes the tcnsiou of the strings upon
all parts of the frame, relieving the instrument from
concentrated strain in any one part, thus securing
much greater strength, durability, and power of
keeping iu tunc,
The (irrtttrr Length of Strings,
through all the treble and middle notes, the distri
bution of strings upon the
l^lnear Itrldge,
which runs the whole length of the sounding board,
giving greatly
Increased Power of Vibration
throughout its entire length, producing a purer
tone and better accompaniment to the voice than
anv other instrument.
All interested are invited to call on
1. C. IIOVEY,
U lO© Water Street, and examine for them
selves, where the above named instruments can be
seen anil heard, and w ill be kept lor sale.
