Portland shovel Manufacturing compan

Portland Shovel Manufacturing Company.
To the Editor of the Press: cd .-i
Having conceived the idea that some of the
readers of the Press may be interested to hear
something of the manufacturing OF shovels
and spades, in one of the largest and most ex-
tensive establishments in the country, induces
me to give the few following statements. The
Portland Shovel Manufacturing Company COM
menced manufacturing shovels and spades of
every description three years ago. Since that
time more than seventy thousand dozen have
been made from the best of bar iron, with
steel inlaid, (called plated shovels). They
have four hammers of the most improved pat
tern, and employees inferior to none in the
United States. 1t has been the principle of
the company to spare no pains or expense to
obtain the most practical workmen, men OF
long experience; and some who are now in
their employ have spent more than thirty years
at some particular part. They have the most
improved machinery, and it is so well adapted,
that with one ponderous blow, each piece is
cut and shaped to that exactness which, when
put together, constitutes one great whole in
perfectness. sf ---..-.s-. ,.,r-
At times they employ over one hundred
men, and with that amount of help, can make
One hundred and fifty dozen per day, or three
nice finished shovels per minute. Each shovel
or spade passes through from twenty to TWEEN
ty-ive different hands, each man knowing and
doing his part. believe they find no difficul-
ty in procuring sales for them, and predict
the Portland manufactured shoyels will stand
first, and be purchased in preference to any
other in the market. Seventy-fve men are
now employed by The company. RAW.

DIsPATcH.-The Southern mail reached
the Post Office in this city yesterday at twenty
minutes before O'Clock. Five minutes before
1, the letter mail, a large one, was distributed
and the letters were all placed in the boxes.
This was effected by having one of the clerks,
Mr.. York, go out to South Berwick Junction
and, upon the arrival Of the train at that sta
ton, commence asserting the letters intended
for delivery at this office; so that when the
mail arrived all that had to be done was to
place the letters in the boxes. This arrange
ment is to be continued. -..l
The mails are assorted now with great dis
patch, and without closing the delivery win
dows.

COLLISION. = A sleigh containing three
young ladies collided with coal cart opposite
the CISCO Natioual Bank yesterday afternoon.
The lady who was driving, as well as the 9TH
ers, was paying too much attention to the
beaux on the sidewalk, and not quite enough
to where the horse YVES leading the sleigh
Hence the collision, which hoisted all three of
the feminines from the sleigh, and drew their
attention to sublunary matters. Fortunately
they were not injured at all, and went on their
way rejoicing that it was no worse They
were not halt so much amazed as the occu-
pants of the coal cart.

and soon after getting drunk again, would
keep drunk pretty much the rest of the year.
Rev. Mr.. Richardson having got hold of him at
camp-meeting, made this prayer:
20 Lord, Thou hast many times converted
this poor sinner, and now again hast Thou
made him subject of Thy saving grace. We
pray Thee, o Lord, to take him home. and to
do 1t nOao, for if he remains on earth, he will
be drunk again in less than weekV'
The prayer was answered to some purpose
for it so frightened the poor subject of it, that
from that day he became reformed and tenn
perate man.

FIRE. The Lew and beautiful dwelling
house of John W. Dana, ESQ.,, at Falmouth
fore side), was destroyed by fire on Sunday
night. together with the adjoining out build
ing. A portion of the furniture and paint
ings, the library and plate were saved. The
house was insured for "a 900, at the Lorillard
Co., New York, and the furniture, library,
paintings, plate, &C., for $500 in the North
American Co, New York, at the agency of
j. E. Dow & Son, in this city. S
The fire occurred from a defect in the CHM
ney, and was fortunately discovered by Mr.
Dana as he was on the point of retiring at 10
o'clock at night. His family had all retired,
and as he was about to follow them pungent
sensation of burning pine saluted his nostrils.
He went down stairs and examined very care
fully, but could discover nothing Returning,
he opened closet adjoining the chimney, and
heard roaring, which he supposed was caus-
ed by the chimney being on fire. On opening
a window he discovered that the outside of
the house was on fire, it having caught be-
tween the chimney and the clapboarding,
probably from brick being disintegrated-
The family was Immediately aroused, and
such portions of the furniture, &C., saved as
were possible, The insurance will not cover
the loss sustained by some thousands of dol
lars. t-' --'-- b. D.

To the Editor of the Press:
This thought struck me while I wa, reading
the advertisement of ]. NJ. Todd. He says
that he has discovered o medicine for the head
and dressing for the hair, that Is free from al
cohols and oils of every description, and free
from poisonous substances, such as sugar of
lead and lac sulphur, and that it is purely a
vegetable compound. That struck me as a
great revolution in the hair dressing line. 1t
is more than we think at the first glance, as
few are aware how many of the preparations
that are put before the public for people to use
upon the hair have poisonous substances in
them. / know Of three cases in this city
where the best judges think that paralysis was
caused by poisonous preparations that had
been used upon the head. One of them
dropped dead, and the first question asked by
the physician when he arrived, was, has he
the hair? The facts were, that he had been
using the very preparations known to have
poisonous substances in them.
Now, know Mr.. Todd says he has discov.
cred dressing free from every such article
If it is SO, and do not doubt the fact, is il
not entitled to more attention than a passing
thought, OF newspaper puff I have known
of several cases in which all other means had
failed to stop the hair from falling off and cur
ing the humor in the head, where this prepa-
ration has done it. hope our physicians will
give it try, as some have done, and if it is
what it seems to be, viii give it their support
although Mr.. Todd is not an nj. d. 30 XII
