The democrats all look blank when asked
for the name of their candidate for governor.
Early Hose potatoes, four inches in length
and quite ripe, have been dug recently in this
city.
When completed, with the patent boxes in
their places, the now post office in this city
wil! have as handsome a front as any institu
tion of the kintl in New England.
The ladies of the Free Baptist church will
Isold a Strawberry Festival in their Vestry
this (Thursday) evening, and invite every

The examination of the grammar school
took place on Tuesday, with results highly
creditable to the Principal, Mr. Hobertson,
and his assistants.
I'nity will celebrate the Fourth of July by
a horse trot in the afternoon and a grand bull
in the evening—so we are informed by a cor
respondent in that place.
A bouquet of the fairest and most fragrant
summer flowers, a gift from the hands of a
friend, is expressive of thoughtfulness and a
tender appreciation of the beautiful things of
life. The donor of a beautiful bouquet, to be
placed upon our desk, will please accept our
thanks.
The Atlautic Engine Company of this city
have voted to celebrate the Fourth by an ex
cursion to Webber’s pond. Most of the com
pany will go. The excursion will be a de
lightful one, if the day is pleasant. Webber's
pond has become a popular place of resort for
pleasure-seekers.
In Machias market butter retails at 25 to
30 cents; eggs 2G cents; lamb 10 to 15;
mutton 8 to 10 cents : potatoes GO to 75 cents ;
dry cod fish, best at 8 cents; smoked alewms
12 to eighteen cents per dozen; veal 8 to 10
cents; flour G.00 to 810. per barrel; corn
$1.35; molasses 45 to 95.
There is to be a fine display of fire-works at
the Arsenal on the evening of the Fourth.
The preparations for the display are on a
more elaborate scalp than they have been for
years; and as the works are all manufactured
by Sargent McGregor, who has many years
experience in the business, a successful exhi
bition is assured.
The new bell tower, ordered by the city
council, is being built on the Atlantic engine
house. An alarm Dell on the east side of the
river has long been needed, although the fire
men in that vicinity have been in the habit of
untiling out the fires. A sharp-toned bell
will be placed in the tower, to be used as an
alarm bell in ease of fire. We understand
that the ceremony of raising the bell will
. take place on Saturday evening.
A plucky lady landed from the steamer
Lewiston at Sedgwick on Monday, when she
found her baggage was not landed. She was
put off by being assured that it would be
landed Monday. This did not suit her, and
as the gang way plank was being hauled in
the put her little foot on it and demanded her
baggage. The usual accommodating officer
found that woman’s rights must be heeded,
and the baggage was found and landed.
At the bead of the editorial columns of the
democratic papers will probably appear the
name of the nominee of the State convention.
“For Governor, - -, of -."
The guns of the campaign will probably be
loaded with blank cartridge*. The nomination
falls like a wet blank-et in Augusta, and the
defeat of the party will be sung in blank verse
next September;
‘•Oh, wretched sinners that we arc.
All doomed to blank despair!”
Ve received at this office yesterday a box
of strawberries fit to set before a king, which
were presented by Mr. J. B. Packard of Ilal
lowell. They were raised by his son Samuel
Packard, at a place on Chelsea Point, of which
this lad, only eighteen years of age, is sole
manager. All he knows of gardening has
been qbtained from books and three years'
practice. These strawberries we think are
the largest and nicest looking we ever saw.
If our young gardener continues as he has
begun there will be larger stories to tell of his
success than this.
Mr. W. H. Stone of North Berwick, who
was in the last graduating class at Kent's
Hill, is canvassing the city for an illustrated
and very useful work entitled “Our Rulers
and our Rights." Judge Anson WjUis, the au
thor, is an able jurist and brings to the prepar
ation of this work profound seolarship and
judgment. Information is given on subjects
with which every person should be familiar,
but of which the mass are strangely ignorant.
It treats of every subject in any way con
nected with the legislation, judicial and ex
ecutive departments of the Federal Govern
ment. As a book of reference to he placed
in the library it will_ be found useful. Mr.
Stone will deliver the work to subscribers in
a short time.
The examination of the high school com
menced yesterday and will continue through
to-day, closing this nflernoon. A critical re
view of the various studies pursued during the
term, evinces a thoroughness on the part of
the accomplished Principal, Mr. Lambert, and
the utmost diligence, patience and persever
ance on the part of the students. In all the
efforts of the Principal to bring forward this
school to the very front ranks of our educa
tional forces, heHias been ably seconded by his
competent assistants. The school will now
compare favorably with any high school in the
State, both in regard to the grade of its studies
and its scholarship. The instructors and
pupils have permitted nothing to turn them
aside from their work, but have engaged in it
with earnestness and enthusiasm. The fruits
of these efforts have appeared at the examin
ation, and will show themselves still more at
the exercises of the graduating class which
will take place to-morrow afternoon in
Mconiau Hall. We know tliat we reflect the
sentiments of the entire school when we say
that with a teacher like Mr. Lambert and with
the incentives to study that he places before
them, the hardest studies become easy and
every task a pleasure.

SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MAINE.
These Machine*, by their eimplcity, durability,
and the great range of work they’execute,
have gained a reputation'truly
enviable.
The f'amou* - wees* of the Singer Manufactur

panies t<* put forth all their cnergm- and talents to
produce a sewing machine that would cciip-e or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
nally tailed, as i.- plainly show n by the fact, that of
all the traveiUmg agents—“rumier.- or drummer*”
—of other cduipauies. none hav** the a--urance to
claim more than an equality with the singer, even
upon any special class nf work.

their presence drew to this city, have again

up the line of inarch to Warren’s field, on
Lime St., where two hours were spent in
batallion drill, in which their evolutions were
gone through with in good military stylo,
the Commanderics winning much applause
from the thousands who were present, for
the handsome manner in which they acquitted
themselves. The encampment was then in
spected and reviewed by It. E. G. Commander
McClellan and staff. They then marched to
the pavillion on City Common, where they
partook of a collation, after which the line
of march was resumed, anil the batallion
paraded through the principal streets to the
Bangor House, where it was dismissed, and

costly costumes producing a pleasing effect.
After dinner the St. Johns Commandery es

cheers lor each other, visitors and visited.
Our visitors go away more than pleased
with the attention which has been shown
them, while they have won for themselves
golden opinions, for their manly bearing and
gentlemanly behavior, reflecting credit alike
upon tin mselves, their order, and the cities
which they represent.
