Tlic recent “cold snap” has retarded work

Tlio rumsellers mustn't find fault because

We frequently hear of young men who be
come dissatisfied with their homes and condi
tion in Maine, and are tempted by "great ex
pectations” to try tluir fortunes in the
Westernrfitates. No one can be blamed fora
temperate and reasonable desire to improve
his condition, financially, socially, morally,
intellectually and spiritually; hut there is al
ways danger of making a mistake. Does the
improvement always follow ? \\ hv i« it that
we find Augusta hoys returning home after a
few months’ absence at the W est ? Ask them
how they like the Western country. "First
rate ; magnificent country ; splendid place to
live." But it has either been too early or too
late in the season at the time of their pilgrim
age, and they thought u best to return and
wait until the proper time before starting out
again. Now you will notice that they have
no notion of abandoning again their homes in
Augusta. How keenly they appreciate the
privileges here enjoyed w ithout a thought ot
their value for so many years, and how glad
they are to return to the workshop, office or
field upon which they so recently turncel their
backs. A case in point: A young lady who
has been engaged in a moderate business in
this city for several years, sold out her busi
ness here a few weeks since, discharged her
hired help, and went to Wisconsin with the
intention of establishing herself in business
there. She remained in her new home just
one week, and then returned to Augusta ami
to her old business. She has been cured of
the Western fever and is satisfied that the old
Kennebec valley is not the worst place in all
the world.
The meeting of the Trustees of the State
Agricultural Society at the Mansion House
on Monday evening last, was entirely infor
mal, and no vote w as taken upon the question
of locating the State Fair. There were pres
ent of the Board, 11 n. Seth Scamman, 1’resi
dent: linn. W arrcn Fercival, ». i. Holbrook.
Nathan Dane, Jr., and Seward 1)111. On the
part of the city ami citizens. M. W. Swan.
W. M. Thayer, John W. Clark. Geo. K.
Weeks, and 1). A. Cony were present, and the
conference resulted in obtaining from the
Trustees an estimate of the expense of put
ting; up the stalls, thods, pens nnd other
necessary fixtures for holding the hair and
Show. The city, as our readers know, has
made an appropriation of a sum of money,
nnd an adequate police force, which it lias
through its committee tendered to the Trus
tees. Ilut the amount is not sufficient to
'put the accommodations in readiness for the
exhibition, and Ibis sum must be subscribed
tiv our leading business men and oilier citi
zens wlio are desirous of having the State
Fair for the present year held in this city.
Should a sufficient amount be subscribed with
in a week—the gentlemen above named, con
stituting the city committee, are understood
to have received from the Trustees some idea
if the amount that will Ini required—the
State Fair will without doubt be held in Au
gusta. Mr. Thayer, with a liberality that
hows the well known public spirit of that
gentleman, lias tendered to the Trustees free
ise ot his grounds and track, and he is we
X'lievc, also engaged in soliciting among our
msiness men the sum necessary to bring the
’air to this city. This sum must be sub
cribed at once, as the Trustees wish to put
heir premium list before the people of the
State, and make other arrangements neces
ary to holding the Show. We believe our
itizens will do this, and by following up the
ction of the city government, not only sc
ore the holding of the next State Fair in
iiigusta, but secure to themselves the best
itert st on their investment that they have
ver made. When u man can put out one
undred dollars, nnd in return pocket five
undred, lie is apt to do it. Now is the chance
i make just this investment. Fut your hands
i y*ur pockets, business men of this capital
ty of Maine—no put your names to the sub
iripliou paper, when it comes your way, and
pledge u sum that will be sufficient to give the
Trustees of the State Fair what they a*k and
what they would expect of any city to which
they went.
They raise careful boys in Lewiston, ac
cording to the Journal. One of them, one
day last week had a front tooth knocked out
by a batstick. He wrapped the tooth in a pa
per and carried it home, where the accident
was brought to the knowledge of the father,
some five hours after it occurred. Heat once
took the lad to a dentist, who carefully pre
pared the tooth and put it in place, and at
the present time it seems to be firmly fixed
and likely to prove sound and serviceable.
The Whig says the directors of the Bangor
& Winterport Railroad have voted to petition
the city of Bangor for aid, under the provi
sions of the “Winterport Loan Bill, ' passed
bv the Legislature last winter, which allows j
Bangor to loan its credit to the road to the
extent of 815,000 per mile.
A young man named Caldwell, belonging
at Lei River, X. B.. accidentally cut his leg j
at Happy Corner in Aropstook county, about
two weeks ago, from the effects of which he
hied to death.
The Bangor Whig learns that since the i
tow n of Orono has voted to give a new' deed j
to the College grounds, the number of stu
dents has increased 14 per cent., and still
others are expected. Let the good work go
bravely on.

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
Washington, May 11.
Sj vate. Mr. Conkling introduced a bill to
1 aid in the establishing and developing of com
mercial intercourse, and for carrying tin
mail- between the United States and countries
on thewivt coast of South America, which
was referred to tl e Post * »ihce Committee.
; T^'l lie amendments to reduce by #10,U00 the
1 appropriation to the dep’t of education, to in
crease the salary of the Chief Clerk of the
Navy dep’t. and to apply the unexpended sur
plus of 813.000 from the Paris Exposition,
fend for the benefit of United States citizens
taking part in the International Exposition in
1861, were rejected, and those increasing tin
appropriation for the offices of the ( omptroll
er o the Currency from $75.0o0 to #00.000. :
1 and requiring the Assistant Commissioner in
the Patent Office to be re-appointed by the
President, subject so confirmation by the Seii
| ate, to act as Commissioner in case of a tem
porary vacancy in that office, were adopted.
Pending the consideration of an amendment
authorizing the Uuited States Mint to receive
on deposit refined gold and silver bullion, arid
to deliver in payment imported bars under
1 certain regulations, thus providiug for refin
ing by private parties, the Senate adjourned.
IIoLsi;. The Committee of the Whole on
the Tariff1 bill took up the pending paragraph
on steel ear wheels, which was so amended as
to read, on steel ear wheels 3 cents per pound,
• and on steel blooms and lor ear and locomo
tive ties, rolled or hammered to pattern. '1 1-2
cents per pound.
The duty on steel carriage, car. locomotive
and other springs, was fixed at 5 cents per
, pound, a reduction of 1 cent from the Com
mittees’ rate, and }»ending the motion to add—
on crinoline, corset and steel, commercially
known as wire, whether covered with cotton
or other textile material or not covered. 1»4
■ cents per pound and 10 per cent, advalortim.
■ The Committee then took a recess.

oline wire and another nxing the dnty on
sword plates at 33 per cent, ad valorurn, and
on sword* 43 percent, were inserted. In the
1 course of tire discussion on the paragraph as
to mixed metals of lead and tin. Mr. Covode
of Penn, rose and said : “The House is dis
gusted and tht* country is disgusted with the
tariff bill. I should have suggested long ago
to the Committee on Ways and Means to
. abandon this tariff bill if I had known the In
ternal Revenue bill was ready to be reported.
I understand now that it is ready and I hope
i that the Chairman of the Committee will re- !
port it to-morrow and lav aside the tariff bill,
with which everybody i* disgusted, (general i
langhti r and clapping ol hands.) Let us go ;
to some practical legislation. This legislation j
is not practical; it stands in the way of prac- !
tieal legislation. It stands in the way of the
appropriaton bills and of important measures
| in which the people of the country have a
deep interest, ami I tell you that if we do not
lay ;i'ide this tariff* bill and go to practical
legislation, we will go home witiiout accom
plishing anything that the people want, and
that we will have trouble next fall, some of
• u».”
No amendments were made to the paragraph
in regard to the manufacture of platinum, fix
ing the duty at 2 per cent, ad valorurn on
brass plates, ingots and bars five cents per
pound; on old brass 4 cents per pound; on
brass in sheets or wire 43 per cent, ad valo
rum; on eglets of every description six cents
j per thousand; on pewter, brittania and all
like mixed metals of lead or tin manufactured
3 cents per pound.
fbe next paragraph fixing the duty on
nickel at 40 cents per pound gave rise to con
siderable discussion. and tlie House adjourned
without action.
