The ladies of the Free Baptist church will
hold a social entertainment in the vestry of
their church this evening. Admission free.
A short walk, before the sun is up, on these
crisp, bracing September mornings, will be
found conducive to health.
Some of the papers are comparing the re
ceipts of the late State Fair witfe those of the
New England Fair. This is most un-fair.

The water in the Kennebec was never so
low as it is now. The Portland Press says
there is more water flowing in the channel of
the Presumpscot river at the present time
than in the Penobscot and Kennebec togeth

“How's that for high?” Why not include
all the streams and rivers emptying into the

Three men were gAinting Lynde's Hotel iu
Rockland, standing' on a ladder slung by
ropes, on Tuesday afternoon, when the lad
der broke, precipitating two of the men to the
ground. The other caught and held himself
by a window. One who fell to the ground,
Thomas Gettigan, is at the point of death, his
skull being fractured. The other was injured
in his hip. Two were the sons of John Karl,
painter in Rockland.
The Whig says that in June last the Com
missioner of Fisheries employed Fruncis
Blackman of Bradley to carry about a hun
dred alewives, caught in the Penobscot river
in Chimo, otherwise known as Leonard pond.
There was a great deal of skepticism as to the
result, and it waa quite uncertain until Sept.
11, when a large body of alewives was seen
descending tiie stream into the Penobscot. In
many places the fish were so plenty as to en
tirely hide the bottom of the stream. They
have grown very rapidly, hating attained,
since they were hatched in June or July, a
length of four inches and upward.
. Yesterday noon, while Mr. Frederick Crow
ell, foreman in the Maine Farmer office, was
engaged in the press room of that establish
ment, he met with an accident that will dis
able him for several weeks. The new Cot
trell & Babcock cylinder press wS*s in motion,
and soma paper had caught on the inking rol
lers. As Mr. Crowell attempted to pull the
paper off, his right hand was caught by the
rollers and his arm drawn between the
rollers and the form of type, half way to the
elbow, fairly stopping the press before the
young man who was feeding it could do so
by the ordinary machinery. Mr. Crowell's
cries brought help from the counting room,
but the roller gearing had to be unshipped be
fore he could be relieved from his painful situ
ation, Mr. Crowell enduring all the while the
most excruciating suffering. His hand and
arm were badly crushed, but l>r. Brickftt,
who dressed his wounds, is confident that no
bones were broken. It is very fortunate the
press stopped before he was drawn under the
cylinder.
Foo* for lom Minds.
We have before ua a copy of a “I'rimary
Geography, arranged as a Heading Hook, with
questions and answers attached," published in
Haleigh, N. and used in southern schools,
during the progress of the war, to teach the
‘‘jredng ideas bow to shoot.” It was pro
cured by a gentleman from this city, who had
some little “unpleasant controversies" with
the children in that section ol a larger growth,
who were in the habit of shooting something
more dangerous than ideas. In this work the
author has endeavored to simplify the study of
Geography, and when she tells her young rea
ders that “part of the surface of the earth is
water and part land,” wo will begin to believe
it. The young idee is taught that tho earth
is round and turns round. “The reason we
don't fall off the earth is that the earth draws
us to it.” Spring comes once a year, accord
ing to the best information of our geographer,
although one year there happened to he two
falls to the southern confederacy. “The
trees blossom, the birds sing and build nests;
men plow, and raise tobacco." “You could
not drink seawater without making you sick.''
That is for very young readers who have
never been to Boothbav. “Water is so use
ful that man could not exist without. It bears
ships up, anil forms the best drink in the
world.” This idea, it must be borne in mind,
was taught tho children of the south. It was
quite novel. A portion of tho work dwells
upon the races of men, and has this amusing
paragraph on the African race :
“The African or negro race is found in
Africa. They are slothful and vicious, but
possess little cunning. They are very cruel
to each other, and when they have war. they
sell their priaoners to the white people for
slaves. They know nothing of Jesus. The
slaves who are found in America are in much
better condition. They are better fed, better
clothed, and better instructed than in their
native country. These people are descend
ants of Ham, tho son of Noah, who was cursed
because he did not treat his fattier with re
spect. That would seem a hard sentence,
but it was probably done to show other chil
dren how wicked it was to treat their parents
so. IVe cannot tell how they came to be
black and have wool on their heads."
The poor little innocent* down south who
have been permitted to “fondle” these poor
heathen “with a club,” have “lienrd of Jesus,”
but never were guilty of possessing many of
hi* characterUtics. Here is the author s in
teresting “history of the United States :'
“The United States was once the must pros
perous country in the world. Nearly n liun
dredyears ago it belonged to England, but the
English made such hard laws that the people
said they would not obey them. After a long
and bloody war of seven years they gained their
independence, and for many years were pros
perous and happy. In tho meantime both
English and American ships went to Africa
and brought away many of these poor hea
then negroes and sold them for slaves. In a
few years the northern Status finding their cli
mate too cold for the nogro to be profitable,
sold them to the people living farther south.
Then the northern people began to preach, to
lecture and to write about the sin of slavery
Tho money for which they sold their slaves
was now partly spent in trying to pursuade
the southern States to send their slaves back
to Africa. And when tho territories were
settled they were not willing for any of them
to become slaveholding. This would soon
have made the north much stronger than the
south; and many of the people said they
would vote for a law to free all tho negroes in
I
the country. The southern men tried to
show them how unfair this would be, but still
they kept on. In the year 1SG0 the Abo
litionists became strong enough to elect one
of their men for President. Abraharu Lincoln
was a weak man, and the south believed he
would allow laws to be made which would
deprive them of their rights. So the south
ern States seceded and elected Jefferson
Davis for their President. This so enraged
President Lincoln that he declared war, and
1ms exhausted nearly all the strength of the
nation in a vain attempt to whip the south
back into the Union. Thousands of lives
have been lost but still Abraham is unable to
conquer the 'rebels,' as he calls the south.”
After this truthful bit of history to disabuse
1 the Southern mind of which it will take years of
1 missionary effort, we have this picture of the
; ‘‘Southern Confederacy
| “These States lie south of the United
: States, and possess a warmer climate. A
I large portion of tlie country lies on the sea
coast and is level and sandy. The confeder
ate States possess few ships, and her cities do
not grow so fast as if there was more com
merce. This is a great country. The Yan
kees thought to starve us out when they sent
their ships to guard our seaport towns; but
we have learned to make many things, to do
without many others, and above all to trust in
the smiles of the God of battles. The south
ern people are noted for being high-minded
and courteous. [They never stole any guns
or U. 8. arsenals 1] Much of the work is
done by slaves. These are generally well
used, and often have as much pocket money
ns their mistresses. The southern confeder
acy is at present a sad country, but President
Davis is a good and wise man.”
We are informed that Richmond is the capital
of the confederacy. “President Davis resides
there, and congress meets thereto make laws.”
It proved to poor Davis like a “moving tent,”
and the members of Congress undoubtedly
thought that here they were but as “pilgrims
and strangers.” “The people of South Caro
lina.” says the geography, “are noted tor
their chivalry. You do not understand this,
children? Well, when any one imposes upon
them, their motto is to fight.” Louisiana
“produced the gallant Beauregard, the gen
eral whose name is familiar in even- house
hold.” We are not informed what State pro
duced the mineral waters of the pond in
which he resolved at one time to water his
horse. Arkansas “has suffered terribly dur
ing the war. The enemy have ravaged nearly
the whole of it, and the wrongs of the people
are heart-rending. But there is a God of ven
gence, and ere long these sufferers will be i
avenged.” In speaking of the sufferings of
the people of Tennessee, the fair author ven
tures a burst of Southern patriotism :
“Many hard battles have been fought here
during the war for independence. But though
she is oppressed now, and suffers much, no
one fears for Tennessee. She is nobly doing
her part, and when the war is ended she will
t»e one of our best States. Many pure spirits
are praying for peace and if we all humble
ourselies as we should, we shall soon be
(blessed with the glorious news—Peace!
Peace!! Peace!!! O, who will not appreci- I
ate Peace when it conies."
But we cannot dwell at greater length upon
the rich lessons of history found within the
lids of this little* volume. The other day we
gave an extract from a western paper, the
editor of which had seen a copy of the work.
In addition we give the following questions
and answers from the appendix, as food for
young minds:

East Kennebec Fair at South China.
South China, Sept. 28.
The Eastern Kennebec Agricultural Fair
and Show, held in this village, has been a
success thus far, though there seems a falling
oil in interest from last season, which is ac
counted for by the interest in and general at
tendance at the State Fair. E. F. Pillsbury,
Esq., of Augusta, delivered the address this
forenoon, which was listened to witli interest.
The first rnce to-day was between “Voting
McClellan,” entered by David Malcoui of
Week's Mills, and “General Howard,” by
Uufus Simpson of Liberty. Time of hitter,
3.05, 3.00, 3.02. The second and last race
was between “Cuslmoc,” entered by .). W.
Witliee of Witerville, and “lied Jacket,” by ;
Charles liarket of Appleton. The two first
heats were won by “lied Jacket,” time 2.47J, j
2.40. The three ln«t heats were -won by I
“Cushnoe,” time 3.404, 2.474, 2.41.
The best trotting is to come oil'to-morrow,
as there are five races agreed upon. Some
of the best horses in the State are entered.

London.
London. Sept. 28. The city of Stras
bourg surrendered to the Prussians yester
day afternoon at live o’clock.
The rejection of nil peace propositions by
Count Bismarck, the statement of Jules
Favre that Prussia intends to reduce the re
public to a third rate of power, the evident
determination of conquests, the alleged un
exampled barbarity ol the Germans to French
people, cause a serious apprehension through
out England, which now leans in sympathy
toward France.
Private cypher telegrams are now rapidly

Darmstnd.
Darmstad. Sept. 28. A despatch received
in this city at five o’clock on Mondoy after
noon. announces that the privations and
sutferingi of the besieged at Strasbourg liad
assumed «o dreadful a character, that the
veteran Gen. Ulrich was compelled to sur
render to the enemy. Gn the entrance pf

Tours. Sept. 27. The garrison which oc
cupied Orleans quietly evacuated that city
yesterday, and are retreating in the direction
of this point. The' retreating party will in all
probability sale-ly reach here, as their march
is not harrassed by the Prussians.
Londou.
London, hept. -t>. I he citizens of Mez
ieres and Charlville are fugitives. Many have
been welcomed by Belgium. The cause of
the hegira is the threatened bombardment of
those towns by the Prussians.
Special to N. Y. Sun :
Everywhere on the way Irom Paris the
roads are covered with soldiers and recruits
for the army de la Loire, which is in the way
of formation at Tours, and another at l)ur
lione, under Gen. Cluzert, which is about to
he organized. From Marseilles to Lyons
these two armies will harrass the Prussians
during the siege. This is certainly the last
hope ot France. The people are more ener
getic and resolute than in other parts of
France, and they have assumed the direction
of their own affairs.
The municipal Council ycJterday unani
mously elected Gen. Cluzert Commander-in
Chief of the army of the Khine. He advises
the people to raise by taxation 30,Ot>0,000
francs, tor organizing the army, and if the
money is granted he will accept command.
The Prefect telegraphs daily with Paris,
and the mails arrive regularly. We have
received by baloon about SOU letters from
Bazaine’s soldiers, saying they will wait until
fair weather belore moving. 1 think the
Prussians are now in very bad condition.
There are GOO.000 persons under arms in
Paris. Everywhere the people are anxious
to fight.
Two new armies being formed on the flank

1 roups are mustering at the principal
French cities unoccupied by the Prussians,
and large bodies are moving up from tbe
south. English Journals are tilled with re

parts of France.
The provisional correspondence of Berlin
says France vainly hopes to convert the de

therefore he vain and impious.
There is great rejoicing throughout tier
many over the capture of Strasbourg.
The new lioman government announces
an appropriation of lifty millions to defray
expenses of the inauguration of Uomc, as
the capital ot Italy. The enthusiasm of the
inhabitants is boundless, and the plcbiscitum
is expected to be unanimous.
The Pope will probably leave Home as
soon as the result is ilcclar^l.
Special to N. V. Times.
London, Sept. 28. The fall of Strasbourg '
is considered to make but little difference in
the question as to the power of resistance of
France. Everything terms on the ability of
Paris to defend Itself for three months. That
time maintained, the Prussinns will never
retain a fort iu the French territory. The
whole country is rising in arms.
The statement in the London Times to
; day, that M. Thiers is cMpoweded to oiler
| the Russian government full latitude of con
quest in the east, as price of intervention in
the Franco-Prussian war. Is utterly unfound-1

Bismarck, and its contiguity to the Spanish
frontier.
PROM BOSTON.
Boston, Sept. 23.
Speech of Gen. Banks.
General Banks spoke in Prescott Hall, in
Charlestown to-night, on the political issues
of the day. He said the disturbance In Eu
rope, where republics arise in un hour, coup
led with our own affairs, give renewed inter
est in the future career of the American gov
ernment. There had been no time when ex
isting parties were more independent of the
past than now. Every State had its Republi
can government within the union. All doubts
were dispelled and discussion dismissed. A
marvel to the Monarchies of Europe. He
claimed to speak for the Republican party in
its most liberal aspect. Judging by its record
there was no question it ltad grappled but had
been decided wisely and for ihe benefit of the
people. Taxation he considered the upper
most subject in the minds of Totcrs. The sys
tem was not perfect and required time on the
part of the musses in contra-distinction to
summary edicts of imperialism. The reduc
tion in the past year had been eighty millions,
and he said he w as in favor of a further re
dnetion, especially in the income tax, which
was the most onerous.
The expenses of the government had been
lessened from three hundred millions to one
hundred and five millions, with the exception
of pensions to soldiers and widows, made by
tlie war. He felt himself bound to aid in still
further lessening yearly outlay. The business
of the country lie admitted was stagnant, ow
ing to the burdens imposed. When perma
nent provision was made for the payment of
debt, business would revive.
The labor question was alluded to as a
problem that had puzzled the crowned heads
of Europe. Congress two years ago passed
an eight hour law to apply to government em
ployees, for the purpose of testing the effect
of the reduction in hours of labor, though op
posed by law, officers of the government and
heads of departments. The placing of shoul
der-straps over mech nics in government
workshops, was alluded to in no measured
terms, and the speaker promised that no in
fluence of his should be wanting to re-enact
the law in that regard, which was lost during
the late war.
Many of the accomplishments of the Re
publican party were enumerated, among them
tile recognition from foreign governments ot
the rights of naturalized citizens to the U. S.
while visiting countries of their nativity.
The black cloud of Asiatic immigration, he
said, could not he looked upon without alarm,
and future legislation would tend to guard the
country from impending danger.
He spoke an hour anil appeared in harmony
with his Chartestown constituents.
President Grant did not leave Boston until
3 P. M to-day. He will remain at Hartford
to-night.

letter of Mayor Sliurtleffof Boston, that dele

Dr. Ligkthill—Dear Sir : Some few years since,
my son. Deo. It. smith, was placed under your care,
for treatment, for a growing deafness, which threat*

ever he was attacked with a slight cold, his hearing
w ould become imperfect, and at times quite alarm

difticultv, and always left him in a w orse condition.
1 take great pleasure in saving that your treatment
entirely relieved him; he has since had no return
of the difticultv, and I think him eutiiely restored.
1 am happy to give this unsolicited testimony to
your skill and success, so far as my son is concern

would have been entirely deprived of hearing.

IMPORTANT FACTS!
For the Public.
NEW EASTERN DEPOT
FOR THE WORLD RENOWNED
SINGER.
SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MATTTE.
These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and
(he gre at range of w ork'they execute,
nave gained a reputation, truly
enviable.
The famous success of the singer Manufactur
ing Company has stimulated many other compan
ies to put forth all their energies and taiepts to
produce a sew ing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
nally tailed, as Is plainly shown by the met, that of
all the travelling agents—“runners or, drummers”
—of other companies, none have the assurance to
lairn more than an equality with the Singer, eveR
upon any special class of work.
There are many sewing machines, now offered to
the public, that have their good points, and are of
much assistance to the housewife and the industri
ous seamstress. Parties purchasing a sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and
pleasing, that they are naturally, but erroneously,
led to believe that they have the best* until (be spuli
is broken by the introduction of the Singer of 1070
into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, ny the ta
creaseti rapidity and ease w ith w hich it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to a
positive, although it may be silent acknowledge
incut of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are easily executed upon tho
Singer, hut that they must either be content to do
w ithout, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri
fice, their curved-ueedled, frail-powered, unrelia
ble-ten sioned, low speeded or ravel-stitcbed ma
chine for a Singer .Setc Family Machine.
Various expedients arc resorted to, that tho pub
lic eye may be turned from the Singer for tho asur
pose of introducing inferior machines—viz, “Tho
Button-Hole Dodge,” “The Over-Seaming,” “The
Double-Lock-Knot-Stitcb.” “.Elastic 8titob.” “Twist
ed Loop,” “Self-Adjusting Tensions,” “FlingFinish
and Beautifully Ornamented,” “Straight Needle,”
“Stitch- Uike-ou-both-SIdes,” “Medals from Fairs,”
“Vertical Feed Bara,” “Noiseless Running,” ‘‘SUent
Feed,” and last and worst of all, the low-priced—
“Family Shuttle Machines.”
Many of these point* are deairnble, (and tho
Singer excel is all in each individual speciality) but
the greatest use made of these special point*, toby
tiie retail agent w ho parades theta before the inex
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
ftyle, as to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno
cent local agents Ignorantly 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 Sewing Machine should took
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,
irecly admitted by all sewtng machine dealers, that
more than tiro-thirds of all the clothing worn in (Ms
country by both sexes, whether custom made or ready
made, is actually manufactured upon TUK SINGER
sewing Machine
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 hieh are kept in constant operation “day
and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery ie em
ployed turning oiit each part finished to that me
chanical 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 approved, are adopted, regardless of ex
pense, w hile the many impractical humbugs that
are patented, are left to grace some new wander
and learn, the purchaser when too late, that lie 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 apo. They never buv
editorial notices, or expend funds in “log-railing”
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 Booms, and leave the Mfafcc to find
out their virtues in their own way. By this straight
forward course they are now manuiacturing about
four hundred per ilav, and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
