Seizure Of Kid Gloves.

rr.l 1888 CoNaREss STREET, June A, 1867 %
Mr.. EDITOR:-Sir, noticing in your paper of
this morning an item referring to the late seiz-
ure Of kid gloves by Custom House detectives,
and as we were among the seized, and the fact
that were SO seems to be pretty generally
known, we would say this mnch as regards
ourselves in the matter: First, We had no
smuggled kid gloves in our store. Second, We
purchase no goods of itinerant peddlars or
without proper invoices. Third, The kid gloves
taken from our store were imported by US from
an English jobbing house, we paid so per cent.
duty in gold upon them, and have the vouchers
to prove this assertion, which we can produce
at any time. And further would say, that we
think the Custom House officers acted in an
arbitrary and oppressive manner towards US
in the matter, and we intend to take legal adj
vice to see whether we cannot obtain the same
redress from them that we could from any pri-
vate individual who might presume to take
goods out of our store without a sufficient right
to do SO. NSs Yours respectfully $500 :

THE Rochester On. H. Courier has changed
hands, Mr.. j. f. Place retiring and Mr.. George
g. Foster succeeding to the entire ownership
and control of the paper. Mr.. Place, it is stat
ed is going to Biddeford, where we trust he
will be prospered as he deserves. MIR. Foster
begins with capital number. We copy a
short article on "the example of Portland"
There is degree of energy enterprise and
persistence of will in the inhabitants of Port
land that causes them to be q pattern for all
sleepy people in the New England States. No
disasters appal them no obstacles intimidate
them. The calamitous fire of July 4, 1866, in
stead of depressing, seems only to have nerved
them to greater activity in the purpose to make
Portland all that it is possible to become as a
maritime town, and the point toward which
railroads tend, and internal commerce would
with proper facilities, go. The POrtlanders are
now reaching out their long arms into New
Hampshire, and encouraging the construction
of railroads to connect with the Portland &
Rochester road, thereby bringing this section
of the State nearer to their enterprlslng city,
and securing direct route TO the great west,
and to New York city. t ii7fisI i"l 1893 e.,
The people of Portland seem to understand
that, to attain the highest degree of prosperity,
it is necessary for the wealthy people of any
place to devise ways and means by which to
promote the public thrift; that to reap boun
tiful harvest. it is necessary to sow a liberal
quantity of good seed. In this matter they act
eonventionally. They do not lie by, and wait
for only the natural trade which tends toward
them; but throw their horoscope over wide
range, and then employ the means by which to
provide facilities for charging their trade
Snch people deserve to, and will thrive. Their
example is worthy of universal imitation.
