MINERALS IN MAINE.-A recent letter
from Bangor, Me-, says: ga subject which
is just now receiving the attention and ex-
citing the feelings of our Piscataxuis neigh
bors is the discovery of rich mines of sill
yer, copper, and lead near Foxcroft. Five
lodes have thus far been discovered, run
ming in lines parallel with each other, and
all Of them have been opened to the length
Of about fifty feet and some twenty five
feet in depth. The thickness of the veins
increases as they deepen, and no diminu-
ton in the valuable character of the ore is
yet detected in any direction. Several
assays have been made, all showing rich
results. The ore is found to contain from
$3.50 to $3.50 worth of silver to the ton,
The purer part is found to contain as high
as seventy five per cent. of lead, the prin-
cipal part of tho ore being argentiferous
galena. Other parts of the same lode pro-
duce from twenty to thirty-three pei
cent. of copper in connection with galena
Slight indications of gold have also been
detected, but as yet in the very smallest
amounts. Indications of similar veins OF
ore are said to have been observed for miles
around, but as yet these stories need con-
frmation. The facts above detailed re.
speeding the Foxcroft mine are from a re.
liable source, and specimens Of the ore are
now on my table before me-"

Mr.. Davis Taking Lessons I'm Painting

FORTRESS MONROE, April 6.-Professor
Thomas Chenoweth, of Baltimore, an ar
fist on his travels, recently visited the fort
and commenced giving instruction in paint
ing TO Mr.. Davis, Miss Howell, his sister
in-law, and others. The Professor had
many pleasant conversations with Mr.. Da-
Wis. The latter said that he had no CON-
plant to make of what appeared to be the
strict measures of the Government to pre-.
vent his escape, and that he entertained
toward all the officers Of the fort none but
the most kindly and friendly feeling, as
they had ever been ready and willing to
promote his comfort. He said he was un-
der many obligations to the citizens OF
Baltimore. AS to his trial, he expressed
no opinion; he was in the hands of the
Government, and patiently awaited the
decision which would either place him be-
fore the courts of justice or release him.

Of having been connected with the affair.
Mr.. White and his wife, with their daugh.

witnesses. From the story of Mrs. Wall,
who on the night of the robbery was sitting
up with her mother, who was i'll, it
would appear that the thief was

house about three-quarters of an hour,
and is described as having voice "soft,
gentle, and low"-an excellent thing in a
woman or burglar. He restored Mr..
Wallis watch on being told that it was q
keepsake, as also fifteen dollars in gold and
silver which had been kept for long time
by Mrs. White. On knocking some pic
turesfrom table heapologized, and asked
if he should replace them. He expressed
his regret at Mrs. Whites sickness, and
hoped for her speedy recovery, at the same
time stating that he was not used to bur-
glary, but had not eaten anything for four
days, thus marring the good impression he
had produced by telling what was proba-
bly, a lie F.; although he seemed to be "as
mild hammered man as ever scuttled
ships or cut throat" Mrs. Wall was un-
able to identify the prisoner as the grace
full but immoral gentleman. The little
boy, however, swore that he was the man,
and he was fully committed for trial.

WooL.-The growth and manufacture of
wool is one of the branches of industry
that have grown immensely during the last
four wears in the United States. Both in
the quality of the wool and in the excel
ence of the articles made from it, the
manufactures of this country will compare
iavorably with u large portion Of the
foreign importations, and it is reasonable
to expect that ere long we will be able to
rival the finest wooden fabrics produced in
Europe. During the year 1866 the wool
grown in the United States amounted to
1877 10000 pounds. We have 1000 WOODEN
mills, containing $4,000 sets of carding
machines, which are capable of working
up 10, 900, 600 pounds OF the raw material.
