The Augusta Water Company seem to mean

posed of before the trial of lioswell is reach
ed, there being 783 cases on the old civil
docket, which will take precedence of the
criminal docket. As things look now the ac
cumulated business will protract the term into
the holidays.
Mr. Charles M. Bacheller, formerly of this
city, who is now in Virginia for the second
time, having travelled extensively in that
State during the rebellion in the service of
his country, sends us u long letter descriptive
of the‘‘sacred soil,” extracts from which we
think will be of interest to our readers. The
letter is dated Keysville, Charlotte county,
Va. Mr. Bacheller says :
“This place is on the Danville Railroad, 93
miles from Richmond, at the junction of the
Roanoke Valley Railroad. The climate is as
agreeable as in any other section ot the coun
try, north or south. There are not many
days hotter in succession than in Maine, and
the winters are so mild that plowing can be
done at any time. The country is well
watered, mill sites plenty. There are some
fair looking churches. The New Kngland
school system has been introduced here, but
it is not yet in good working order. The soil
will grow anything that can be raised in the
north, but the staple crop is tobacco. Grass
c in be raised here eaiscr than at any place 1
ever visited in New Kngland. Three crops
hive been taken off this year and now it has a
growth on it as heavy as any second crop in
Maine. Land here is cheap, and good farms
of from 100 to 1000 acres can be had lor a
small payment down and the balance on time.
The agricultural implements are of the rudest
possible character. Nearly all the plantations
have plenty of white oak and pine timber
growing on them. There are no large rivers
in this section, and therefore no fears need be
entertained of floods; no swamps, and of
course no fever and ague. The war com
plety impoverished the country, and farmers
are willing to sell a portion ot their lands to
obtain money to cultivate the remainder.
The far-famed West that every young man
talks of emigrating to in order to make his
fortune, is sending “heaps” of men here, and
they all say that the climate and suil are far
better than at the West, and the markets bet
ter also. Land is rising rapidly in value.
One man who bought 300 acres at Cliristian
ville last spring for 80 per acre, told me he
had been offered 81b per acre since, and with
out any improvements having been. made.
People coming down here to purchase lands
will receive every possible attention. The
people here will give all necessary informa
tion. They are anxious to have northern
men come here and settle, to improve the
land, build railroads and establish schools
and churches. Let the young men who are
hound to leave good old Maine, and who are
crowding into the large cities, come here and
occupy some of these farms.”
Letter from Farmington.
This as you are well aware is one of the
very prettiest and flourishing inland villages of
Maine. The stores are neat and well filled.
Little Blue School and the State Normal, are
two very attractive features of the place.
They are building a fine church here this sea
son, it being for the denomination of Liberal
Christians, under the pastoral care of the Rev.
Mr. Ilayden. The extension of the Andros
coggin Railroad across the river into the val
ley, will add much to the convenience and
prosperity of the place. The distance lately
built is one mile, mostly across an intervale
on piles, 2200 in number. The passenger and
freight houses are alreudy up and boarded
and shingled. The cost of this extension is
some 340,000, half of which is paid by the
citizens. This Androscoggin road is under
excellent management, and has for the past
year paid ti per cent, clear of^overnment tax.
This will at some future day be the thorough
fare from Portland to Quebec, it being some 90
miles nearer than the route travelled now.
By looking on the map you will see it is but a
short distance to Quebec, and a natural pas
sage way has lately been found through the
mountain. M.

DRY EARTH SYSTEM I
For the Sewage of Towns. Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.
A MPLE experience line shown the Dry Earth
A. System to be more efficient in preventing foul
smells, and far less costly in construction ami re
pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether lor the
Sick Boom or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all. in town and coun
try, every benefit possessed by the Water Closet, at
far less cost, with the additional advantages, that it
is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
It promises more in Immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than hue ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are self-contained, and u movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in Bed, Booms, Hospital Wards, Infirm
uric's Ac., the Commode is invaluable. H is entire*
hj free from those faint, depressing odors, common
to portable water closets and ni<jht stools, and through
its admission one of tin; greatest miseries of human
life, the foul smells of the sick room, and one of the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.

Ayer s Sarsaparilla,
fob PtiUFina the blood,
l no reputation this ex
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
many of which are truly
marvellous Inveterate
cases of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system
seemed vaturuted’ with
corruption, lia\e bceu
lmrilled and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and
disorders, which were ag
gravated by the scrofu
lous contamination until
incy were pamiuiiy auiimng, nave neon radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to
be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Oden, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
ami invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the bod v, ami
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber- \
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed iu the liver, or it shows ;
its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer
ations on some part of the bodv. Hence the occa
sional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad
visable, even when no active symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following com
plaints generally find immediate relief, and, at
length, cure, by the use of this S.tllS.I I'.t H11
LA: St. Anthony's Fire, Hose or I rysijn las,
Tetter, Salt Rheum, Sraltl Head, Jlinyirorm,
Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or
visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, us Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, .Xeurafyia,
and the various Fteerous affections of the muscu
lar and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it, though a long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine.
Hut long continued use of this medicine will euro
the complaint. Lcucorrhaea or IHiitcs, I ferine
Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, are com
monly soon relieved and ultimately cured by its
purifying and invigorating effect. ’Minute Direc
tions for each case are found iu our Almanac, sup
plied gratis. Rheumatism and Rout, when
earned by accumulations of extraneous matters
in the blood, yield fiuiekly to it, as also J.irer
Complaints, Tvrjiidity, Congestion ovInflam
mation of the Liver, and* laundire, when arising,
as they often do, from the rankling poisons in the
blood. This SARSAPARILLA is a great re
storer for the strength and vigor of the system.
Those w ho are Languid and Listless, Despon
dent, Sleepless, and troubled with \errons Ap
prehensions or Fears, or any of the affections
symptomatic of Weakness, will And immediate
relief and convincing evidence of its restorative '
power upon trial.
