Uocal anU S'tate "Krtos. May-Day come* on Sunday. Are there any "Finnegans" among us? The current watchword: “Hoe! for the garden!” There is activity in building on Sewall street and vicinity. A good many cellars still give evidence of a freshet and are standing arguments for city drainage. Experience is a good teacher, but his charges are high and he won’t usually take his pay in boarding round. The highway between Augusta and Hal lowed is invariably swampy and dangerous iu spring-time. It should he macadamized. The animal who stole yesterday’s Daily had the privilege of rending a highly interesting personal article—that in regard to the big calf slaughtered by Adams. Mr. John Matthews has laid out a number of very eligible and de sirable sites for dwell ings in Hallowed, which will no doubt be speedily utilized, as tiouse lots in that city arc scarce. The catalogue of the library of the ^Ictho dist Episcopal Sunday School of Hallowed has just been printed, making a neat little folio containing the titles of over three hun dred books. Availing themselves of the act of incorpor ation granted by the lust Legislature, the Baptists of Belgrade are making repairs on their house of worship. The pews are being rebuilt, the gallery remodelled, and the entire house reconstructed. Charles E. Bailey of this city is malting large purchases of hay of the farmers in Bel grade and adjoining towns, for the Boston market. He takc6 the hay at the barn and pays a large or a small price, according to the quality and consequent value of the hay. Thus tur farmers find a ready market for this staple product at their very doors. Let the members of all religious societies put out the latch-string next wreck, and give the Methodist brethren from abroad a hearty welcome and good and comfortable entertain ment. No one society can minister to the wants of all who will be in attendance upon the meetings of the conference, and we be speak a Christian and sympathetic response to the call for extending hospitalities. The old block house standing on the eastern bank of the Kennebec river, in Winslow, and known as Fort Halifax, is one of the most an cient relics of a past age in our State. A gentleman in Winslow presented our travel ling agent w ith a small piece of wood cut out of the fort, bearing the following inscription : “A piece of Fort Halifax, built bv Governor Shirley in 1754." The old block house which now stands in a tottering and decaying condi . tion, was once no doubt considered a safe refuge from the attacks of hostile Indians; and, w ith a view to withstand a long seige, the spot chosen was one of the best on the river, and must have been selected by some one well acquainted with the surrounding country and the manner of Indian warfare. The fort is built square from the ground, the material used is the best of pine timber, hewed and dovetailed together ut the ends. There are many port holes, just large enough for a man to put out his gun, “draw a bead," and fire. An examination ol the “relic” will reveal places where bullets of the largest sire have been cut out from the inside, having gone nearly through, a distance of about ten inches. The entire structure is rotten and must soon fall. Truly, man and his works pass away and are forgotten. State Fair. It is yet early in the season to begin to talk about a State Fair, but our readers must know that the Trustees desire to decide upon the location as eary in the season as possible, that their premium list may be put before the people of the State, and their plans laid for performing the great amount of work neces sary for the complete success of the exhibi tion. Previous to the rebellion, of the six exhibitions held by the State Agricultural So ciety, two, those of 1858 and 1850, were held in this city, and botli were regarded ns very successful. The receipts of the former were nearly seven thousand dollars, and although the latter was held during a week of lutd weather, and did not show so heavy receipts, yet the entries of neat stock, horses, sheep, swine and poultry, to say nothing of the other departments of the exhibition, numbered about one thousand. Of the six exhibitions, besides those held in this city, one was held in Gardiner, one in Bangor, and one in Port land. During the rebellion, the Society not receiving its State aid of one thousand dollars annually, wisely concluded not to hold any shows. With the return of peace, however, a general desire was expressed to have the State Fairs resumed, and accordingly one was held in Portland in 1808. Again in 18(10, in connection with the New England Agricultur al Society, it held a fair in the same city—a more magnificent and successful exhibition of the kind than w as ever held in New England. These fairs should be held annually. There never has been a time when our State has been making such advances in every branch of the industrial arts as now ; and these fairs, is public educators and moans of obtaining knowledge, should be encouraged uud sup I ported. I The Trustees of the State Society have ■■started upon the campaign of the year 1870, ■md have decided to hold a fair September ■fOth-24th, provided any locality offers sulH l.icnt inducements. These inducements, wc lindcrstand to betree use of ground, track and linll, with tiie necessary fixtures for holding ■ he show, police force, &c. We have near Ibis city a good show ground, which we learn ! Ihe enterprising proprietors will furnish to ■he society free of expense ; wc have one of largest halls in the State for the in-door exhi liition; we have superior hotel accommoda lions; our city is accessible from all parts of ■he State—and we have no doubt that here, i In the midst of the best farming and stock | Irowing section of Maine, a magnificent fair ■ Ian be held. Now shall not this be done? Ivill not our hotel keepers and business men lenerally do something towards inducing th« l.'rustees to hold the fair of 1870 in this city ? : Will not the city government extend to the i Society an invitation to have its fair held here, as Portland has done In previous years? ! We are satisfied a little effort in the right I direction will secure the fair for Augusta. Who will start in this direction—and 'tart at once? City UlKbaay*. Evidence accumulates daily that tl e high ' way season of 1870 is to witness the s one im provident expenditures of money in tin repair of our city streets, as the many years which have passed. About Ten Thousand Dollars are annually spent on the old streets, nd yet Augusta can boast of having, alway in the Spring months, the most abominable w ys and streets. I bis large expenditure of n mev is substantially upon the same pieces of i ad an i nually. To-day this Capital City of the Stale is at tempting to make those great thoroughfares, Western Avenue, Green and Winthrop streets, passable, by filling the mud holes and impas sable places with boughs— rubbish and gravel, j This process has been repeated the- many years, and when the summer comes ; nd the streets are dry, the roads are stnootlu 1 up by a eoat of sand or gravel. In this way the money is mostly used up each year >n the same pieces of road. Now ns a heavy and willing tax payer of Augusta, we protest against this useless and improvident waste. In behalf of the good citizens wc demand that better judgment and wiser counsel prevail. Let the Highway Committee and the Street j Commissioner jointly examine the ro .Is and determine what street or road should l put in order first, then underdrain and put th t road in such condition as to demand no n ire ex penditures fur the year. In this w y your money is all sated, not wasted, in p <•hing. It only one street can be done up in a year— well—next year take another—time will do all. Our drainage and sewerage are shameful— our streets a nuisance. Here drainage and sewerage are easy ; streets can be kept easily and cheaply in condition—let them be o. Economy. Drown> 4 -Information Wanted. Wayne, April, 25, 1 -s~0. The citizens of this town were much ex cited yesterday, hv the announcement ,'iat the dead body of a man had been discovered in the pond, known as the Wing I'ond, n -rth of our village. It was taken from the water, and an examination immediately had. No marks of violence were found, and tin united opinion was that hi-, death had been o< asion ed by a casualty—drowned in saiil pond. The body had the appearance of having lain there some few months. It was reeogni,- d by maay gentlemen present who had r> j atedly seen the deceased, who was known to them by the name of Hemic—his whole name not known, neither his place of residene ■. He was apparently about seventy years f age ; he was of eccentric habits, possessing pecu liar cast of mind, was quite an cxle ter, a man of prayer, both in the house and on the wav, and was considered by some a Second Adventist. Articles were found upon the body, some of which gave undoubted proof of recognition. Immediately after the examina tion, the body was interred in one of t; town cemeteries. It is hoped that this will elicit further facts and information which v ill re lieve the public mind and be valuable and sat isfactory to relatives and friends. S. P A meeting of the corporators of Forest Grove Cemetery iscalhd for this afternoon at the office of Samuel Titcomb. The meeting will be a very important one, and as hereto fore it has been hard work to get out i quo rum. it is to he hoped that as now the time has come when radical changes are demanded in the summer's work on this beautiful .ceme tery, the corporators will feel interested to spend a few moments time for the sake of the public good. The meeting will be held at half past two o'clock. Afternoon Dancing School. Mr. U .

The Reason of this Great Superiority is apparent to all who carefully examine the pecu liar mechanism of these instruments in The Equalizing Settle, | which distributes the tension 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 1 keeping in tune, The Greater Length of Strings, j through all the treble and middle notes, the distrl* | butiou of strings upon the Linear llrldge, which runs the whole length of the sounding board, 1 giving greatly Increased Power of Vibration throughout its entire length, producing a purer ; tone and better accompaniment to the voice than anv other instrument.
