A lady in this vicinity recently gathered
within a small compass in her front yard, fif
teen stalks of clover, bearing each five leaves,
and sixteen stalks hearing four leaves.
Mr. Geo. VV. Carleton of Brunswick, who
has recently been brought to the Insane Hos
pital, is in a very low state of health and
sinking rapidly.
The new assistants in the high ind gram
mar schools have entered upon their duties
witii an energy and enthusiasm that betoken
success.
A gentleman who lias lived within eight of
the Kennebec river for fifty years, says he
never knew the water to be so low as at the
present time.
Three cows and one heifer, belonging to
Harrison Hill of Belgrade, were run over and
killed by the cars on the Maine Central road,
on Monday afternoon, as we are informed by
our Belgrade correspondent.
Persons in this city intending to attend the
State Sunday School Convention in Bath,
next week, are requested to send the name of
the school with which they are connected, to
A. C. Palmer, Esq., Bath.
Mr. Charles H. Toothnker, a farmer about
aeventy-seven years of age, residing on the
Durham river road in Brunswick, lias recent
ly been afflicted with insanity. The disease
has assumed a violent form, and although an
ellort w ill he made to care for him at home,
the members of his family are compelled to
keep him closely confined.
Tile Augusta trotting park, where the out
of-door part of the State Pair is to be held,
presents a most lively scene. Numerous
sheds and pens have been erected for the
horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., and the ac
commodations for the various departments are
being made convenient and every way desir
able.
One of our old citizens whose death we have
recently recorded, forty years ago kept a
“corner store,” opposite the old toll house,
on the east side ot the river. Of course “the
critter” was kept for the spiritual consolation
and refreshment of the thirsty customers wlm
were in tlie habit of coining together at the
store for the purpose of talking over matters
and things, discussing politics, and buying
their groceries. All at once the proprietor
of the store became a temperance man in sen
timent, as he had long been one in practice.
It occurred to him suddenly tlist rumtelling
was a nefarious business, and one day lie
rolled liis casks into the street, smashed in
the heads, and rum flowed freely as water.
He took that method of “closing out” his
stock, and never sold any more liquor.
Work upon the Fair grounds is being push
ed forward rapidly by the contractor, and the
same is being done in a thorough manner, and
to the complete acceptance of thu trustees.—
The cattle stalls are all completed, also the
pens for sheep and swine and the poultry ac
commodations. Tlie closed stalls tor the hor
ses are now being built. The ticket offices—
one at the entrance to the grounds near State
atreet, and one on tlie east side of the track
to accommodate passengers from the trains—
have been built, also the secretary's office.—
The seats for spectators, opposite the judges’
stand are also in process of completion, and
the entire work on the ground' will he finish
ed by the time specified in the contract, Sep
tember 15th. The lumber used is of better
quality than that used at Portland for the State
Fair in 18G8, or the New England Fair of last
year, it being all sound spruce lumber. The
work also is dose in a most thorough manner-,
the stalls for tattle being 8 by 8 feet, all cov
ered with a tight roof and well boarded up on
the aides, tlie roof projecting in the rear of
the stall* eighteen inches or two feet beyond
the sides of the stalls. Three hundred cattle
atalls have been erected, many of which are
large enough to contain two animals. Two
hundred horse stalls are to be Imilt, each 10
by 8 feet, with tight roof, plunk floors and
doors. As au evidence of the way in which
the work has been pushed, we merely mention
that on Tuesday last Mr. Pereival’s force of
seven men built and completed fifty cattle ;
stalls, being little more thau seven to each
man. We call that a good day's work. Oft
Monday several gentlemen from Portland,
officers of the society and those w ho assisted
in the management of the State and New Eng
land Fairs of 1863 and 1863. among them
Hon. Win. E- Morris, J. F. Leavitt, Ksq., nod
R. H. Hooper, Esq., Assistant Superintendent
of halls atN. E. Fair, visited the grounds nnd
expressed themselves as highly pleased w ith
their situation, and as entirely satisfied w ith
the fixtures
The work of putting the State House in or
der for the exhibition has been commenced
under the direction of Hon. Samuel Wasson.
An assignment of rooms for the different de
partments of the Fair has been made, and tlie
whole will he arranged with clock-like regu
larity. Carpenters are busy in putting up tlie
temporary partitions and other fixtures, and
by the middle of tlie coming week the rooms
will bo in readiness to receive goods.
The entries fur all departments of the ex
hibition are coming in rapidly. Already the
; most celebrated herds in the State of all the
distinct breeds have been entered, nnd addi
tions in all classes of stock are being made
daily. Of horses, there arc already nearly
or quite one hundred entries, specimens of the
Knox breed predominating. Altogether, the
entries thus far, are fully up to, if not ahead
of what they were at Portland two years ago,
two weeka in advance of the Fair.
Letter from Farmington.
Fatmington, Me., Sept. 3, 1870.
Dear Journal :—Perhaps it may he of in
terest to your readers to know the origin of
the name of this town. One of the first set
tlers, Mr. Porter, was a native of the town ot
Farmington, Conn., and living much attached
to that name, offered to give a barrel of ruin
providing he should have the honor of nam- ■
| ng the town. It is needless to say that the
present was accepted.
The Teachers’ Institute for Franklin coun
ty, has just closed a very interesting session.
Prof. Allen of Penn., has had charge of the \
institute. He is just the right person for au
instructor in meetings like these. County
Superintendent Abbott, and I)r. N. T. True,
have assisted in making the exercise* inter- |
esting. A lecture has been delivered each
evening during the session. On Monday eve
ning Dr. True gave some useful information
to teachers, in regard to teaching Mathemati
cal Geography. Tuesday evening. Prof.
Rounds, principal of the Western State Nor
mal School, gave an interesting account of
his recent visit at Toronto. He described the
buildings and grounds of the Training or
Normal School at Toronto. According to his
statements this property is much more valu
able than that of any single normal school in
New England. Tile school grounds (although
in the city), include eight acres, and are artis
tically arranged. The common school sys
tem of the Province of Ontario is superior to
ours in several respects. The average length
of schools in this Province (city and rural),
is forty weeks, and in Maine less than one
half that number.
l*i of. Allen made a few remarks on the
schools and school systems of the South.
After the close of the lecture, he brought to
light many facts in regard to these matters
that are not known even to the reading pub
lic.
Prof. Woodman, of Dartmouth College,
delivered a lecture on “Drawing,” on Wed
nesday evening. This was full of beautiful
thoughts, which were clothed in the simplest
and best of language. Prof. Woodman will
do a vast amount of good in this State hv his
lectures on drawing.
Thursday evening Hon. Warren Johnson ad
dressed the members of the Institute. He
compared our school system with those of
Prussia and France, and made suggestions in
regard to changes in our ow n. llealso spoke
of the great needs of the teachers of Maine,
among these were: 1st, more knowledge: 2d,
a greater power of expressing in the best
manner what they do know ; 3d, a more ex
tended knowledg of “human nater." The I
address was well received by a crowded
house.
Prof. Allen in his lecture on Friday night
spoke of the advantages of the teacher’s life,
its responsibility and reward. lie gave three
teacher's mottoes worthy of every teacher’s
notice, viz., “Preserve the innocent“In
struct the ignorant,” and “Reel a ini the
vicious." lie closed his remarks by speak
ing in high terms of State Superintendent
Johnson and the joy he (Allen) had in view
ing the improvments in our educational sys
tem. The c losing exercise was the conferring
of the certificates upon the members. 232
members have been in attendance. The In
stitute has been a decided success.
The Normal school opens with one hun
i
dred and forty students. The Androscoggin
K. It. is nearly completed to Farmington vil- j
lage. They have just finished driving the i
piles across the meadow, it requiring more
than five hundred piles for the purpose. The j
depot grounds are nearly graded, and the j
building will be built at once. I understand
they are to cost from ten to fifteen thousand 1
dollars, tins amount including enough to con
struct an engine house.
Farmington is one of the best farming
towns in the State. One will get some idea
of the wealth of this town by the fact that
there are but eighteen cities or towns in the
whole State of Maine that has as large a valu
ation in 1870. Xon. j

IMPORTANT FACTS!
For the Public.
NEW EASTERN DEPOT
FOB THE WORLD RENOWNED
SINGER
SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MAINE.
These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and
the great range of work they execute,’
have gained a reputation truly
enviable.
The famous successor the MXGER MANUFACTUR
ING Lomi any has stimulated many other compan- 1
iet* to put forth all their energies* and talents to ‘
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or j
equal the linger, but in every case they have sig
nallv tailed, as is plainly shown by the tact, that of I
all the travelling agents—“runners or drummers” t
—of oilier companies, none have the assurance to
< laim more than an equality with the Singer, even
up**n any special clasr of work.
There are many sowing machines, now offered to j
the public, that have their good points, and are of j
much assistance to the housewife and the indnstri- |
ous seamstress. Parties purchasing a sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old j
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and I
ldeasing. that’they are naturally, but erroneously, j
led to believe that they have the*best, until the spell 1
is broken by the introduction ol the Singer of 1870 '
into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, bv the in- I
.creased rapidity and ease with which it does every |
kind of plain or I ncy si-wintr, to awaken them t«* a |
positive, although it maybe silent acknowledge- !
ment the paimul truth that there arc* very many i
varieties of work that are easily executed upon the j
singer, but that they must either be content to do J
without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri
tlce, their enrv. d needle*i, frail-pow ered, unrelia* i
bit-tensioned, low-speeded or ravel-stitched ma- j
chine for a Singer .\eu Family Machine.
Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub
lic eye may be turned from the Singer f*r the pur
pose’ of introducing inferior machines—viz. “The
Button-Hole Dodge.” “The Ov»*r-Scaining,” “The
Double-Lock-Knot-.St itch.’’“Elastic Mitch.” “Twist
ed Loop,” “Self-Adjusting Tensions.” “HiugFinish
ami Beautifully Ornamented,” “Straight Needle.”
“Stitch- Mike-on-both-Sides,” “Medals from lairs,”
“Vertical Feed Bars,” Noiseless Running,” “Silent
Feed,” and last and worst of all, the low-priced—
• Family Shuttle Machines.”
Many of these points are desirable, (and the
singer excel!s all in each individual speciality} but
tlu- greatest toe made of those special jaunts, is by
the retail agent who parades them before the inex
perienced purchaser w ith sueh fluent and earnest
style, as to entirely divert attention from the really
important (tearing* of the case*. While other inno
cent local agents ignorat.tlv represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie
ty of work, equal to the Singer, and often do they
thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot
afford to squander their substance upon gilded
follies and worthless rattle-traps.
Parties in quest of a Sew ing Machine should look
about them and learn w hat machine is most exten
sively used in families, tailor shops, shoe factories,
and carriage factories. It is an acknowledged fact,
ireely admitted by all sewing machine dealers, that
more than two-thirds of ai! the clothing worn in this
country by both sexes, whether custom made or ready
mode, is actually manufactured upon Tilt SINGER
Hewing M \» ui m:
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprising Compan
ies that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world. Throughout their immense manufac
tories, w hich are kept in constant operation “day
and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery is em
ployed turning out each part iinished to that me
cha’nica! exactness, that every one is a perfect du
plicate of the other in size, weight and finish. All
new inventions are carefully examined and tested,
and if unproved, are adopted, regardless of ex
pense. while the many impractical humbugs that
are patented, are left to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser w hen too late, that he has
“paid too dear for his whistle.” It should be re
membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made a poor Machine—from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial uotiees, or expend funds in “log-rolling”
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect them—place them
in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to find
out tiieir virtues in their own way. By this straight
forw ard course they are now manufacturing about
four hundred per uav, ami at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
WHAT 18 THK NEW FAMILY 8IX.KK OF 1970?
It Is the concentrated result of twenty years ex
perience in building Sewing Machines.
It uses very short straight needles,
it makes the Shuttle or Lock-Stitcli alike upon
both sides of the work.
It is very light running and has a silent feed.
It is very easily kept clean, and is always in
order/
It is less difficult to understand and learn to
operate than any other.
It has the most simple and easily adjusted ten

It is less liable to rust than any other.
It Is so constructed that dust cannot enter it or
oil drop trom it.
It works equtrilv well upon the finest Lace or
heaviest Beaver < loth*.
It w ill hem millings of dress goods over seams
without any preparation.
It is very high-sj>ceded, and requires very little
power to keep in motion.
It will out-wear any other Family Machine ever

The Times to-day in its city article com
menting the prostration of business and un
steadiness for securities says :
“The price of the federal bonds depends
on the success of Prussians, which seeuis

republic will not persist in a vain struggle,
hut seek peace and leisure to constitute.
According to the Daily News there is a
hegira of French refugees red and parti col

Daily News, noticed before the late events a
vigorous soldiership ill Geriuun camps, and
ure utter dissoluteness, impatience and ab
sence of all interest or ambition at Paris.
Paris, Sept. 7.
A circular lias just been issued by Jules
Fax re, which contains the tullowing points :
The policy of France is peace, leaving
Germany master of her own destinies.
The King of Prussia bad said that be made
w ar against a dynasty and not against France,
yet the dynasty is gone and France is free,
and still is this impious war continued. Will
the King face Ibis responsibility before the
world and bear bis toils? France yields not
one foot of sod, not one stone of a fortress.
A shameless peace means the extermination
of our cause, and that of Europe. Undis
mayed the army is resolute and provided.
Three hundred thousand combatants can hold
Faris to the last. If crushed, France will
arise and avenge. Let Europe know that
the Ministers have no other aim or ambition
than peace, but the war proving in earnest,
we will continue to struggle, confident of
triumph and justice.

Paris, Sept. 7. The new Republican gov
ernment seems to count much on the mural
and material support of the United States as
their old ally. Its organs, particularly the
Electeur Libre, calls on Jules Favre to ad
dress himself directly for aid to the govern
ment of Washington.
These Journals forget the influential Ger
man population in the United States, and
that is the reason so large a portion of Amer
ican republicans ure on the German side.
Gen. Vinoy’s corps is fast pushing into
Paris. The Prussians are advancing by
forced marches.
The plan of the Republican government is
to leave the departments free to organize
their own defence, which plan is universally
approved.
The Prussian plan of attack ou Paris, I be
lieve is this: —An advance by Melund and
Fontainamblin to Versailles, while the army
now advancing tVoin Laon pushes on to St.
Bonis. This latter force will make an attack
on Montmartre, but the main attack will be
on the other side. The force occupying
Versailles and advancing by the road to the
heights of Clamnrt, will throw np the earth
works and plant batteries against Fort d'lssay,
and o[>en fire on Vungieriand.
The Journal Lesoir gives a singular ac

Strasbourg, 5th, via. London, Sept. 7. The
first orders were to invest the city in such a
manner that no considerable amount of pro
visions could enter, and to prevent any com
munication between the city and the outside
world, and to accompany the same with not
a too destructive bombardment. This moral
pressure bad no effect upon the Governor,
and a seige in force was commenced, and the
third parallel opened. What destruction en
sued. The avenues were tilled as it a hur
ricane had passed over the city. The cathe
dral and public buildings were partially de
stroyed, the streets were strewn with the
dead and dying, and magnificent houses were
in ruins.
One shell hurst in a school for children, and
7 little girls were instantly killed. The
suburbs suffered fearfully, and the inhabitants
of whole parishes tied leaving everything. To
prevent the recurrence of the disorders which
occurred, the following order has been issued
by the Commanding General:
In the buildings deserted by the inhabitants,
disorders of a most ruffianly character have
occurred which cannot tail to effect gravely
on the discipline and honor of the troop9. It
is expected that officers will take the most
energetic measures to prevent any recur- j
renees ot the same. They will have the lo
calities strictly watched, and permit no one to
enter, and still less to plunder. Resistance
to this order will lie encountered with meas
ures of the utmost severity, and such brutal
ruffians will be shot down on the spot.
