given in another column that the English Spin
ming Roller Company Of this city have declared
dividend Of per cent. This is up to the LIST OF
January and from the time the company went in.
to active manufacturing, q period Of about five
months. We think this doing very well consider
ing the recent organization, and the disadvanta-
ges arising from lack of water during the drouth
when one half of their machinery could not for
some time be run, aud also the trouble incidental
TO removing into new quarters. The company

In recent visit to the vintage cellar Oft II.
bly, Of Saco, We were somewhat surprised to find
that he had on hand so large quantity of native
wines. We found him manufacturing cider from
nice Baldwin apples, and tho cider may be ex.
cused for tempting our taste, or rather the apples
may be excused for tempting the cder;-we have
got the matter somewhat mixed, but the cider
was unmixcd. Mr.. bly, has here ten different
kinds of wine made by him.elf, aud OH scientific
principles; currant, eldcrberry, blackberry, cher

he is determined to adopt; by that means he will
be enabled to guarantee their entire purity and
strength, and for which he will hold himself re-
sponsblc, which hc could not do, If he was to en-
trust the sale to others.

day evening Of this week. The tables were very
richly and elegantly furnished with oil that the
