This village is situated on the Saco River at
what has long been the terminus of the York
and Cumberland Railroad. Its water power,
if made available to its fullest extent, is capa-
BILE of running much larger amount of ma
chinery than is now employed. Mr. G. w.
McKenney has two mills, in which he manu-
features 100000 feet of long lumber yearly,
which is made into boxes and heading. This
gives employment to from % to 80 men and
he pays out about $1,000 a month. Mr. McKen-
ney is live business man, always moving
and taking advantage of every available agency
to turn an honest penny.
Messrs. Stephen & Thomas H. Berry, are
extensively engaged iu the manufacture of
sugar boxes and heads on the Buxton side of
the river. Mr.. Stephen Berry has long been
engaged in this business on this river, and
with eminent success we should judge.
Mr. b. G. Jordan has mill constantly EN-
ployed in saving oak plank and timber and
furnishes many of the ship yards in this vicin-
ity with the best quality of oak timber and
plank, which he is always prepared to do at
| short notice.
| At Salmon Falls, mile below, is an ex-
cellent water power, small proportion of
which is now occupied.
Prominent among the older settlers of Bar

The LATEST EDITION of CHAsE's PLAT
FoRM-Ihe editions of Chase's platform are as
numerous as the texts OF Greek author. The
Washington correspondent Of the Boston Adj
vertiser gives the following version which pur-
ports to have been reduced to writing by the
Chief Justices private secretary and circulat-
ed for several days past among the Democrat
ic members of Congress:
Economy in public affairs.
Reduction of taxation.
Maintenance of the rights of foreign born cit

trials of persons not in the army.
The speedy withdrawal of military govern
ments from the South.

toratiop to the Union of the late rebel States
with constitutions acceptable 10 numerical
majority of each State.
Suffrage to be entirely under the control o.
the several states, with the recommendation
that it shall be impartial.
If this platform is adopted the Chief Justice
will accept the Democratic nomination. The
first three planks are so general and concise
that they can hardly be taken as a full equiv
aent for the practical steps taken in the d.
rections indicated by the Republican party
The next four and the first part of the last
plank have no further value than to reduce IL

SAco, June 20, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press:
Having seen notice of your grand hotel
and paying visit to the Forest city yester-
day, found that in arising from her as les she
rears up one Of the grandest hotels on this
continent. With such an inducement and with
the Grand Trunk railway to the White Noun
tains, Montreal and Quebec, and the Gulf
line of steamers to River du Loup and Prince
Edwards Island, and the International line of
steamers to Eastport and st. John, the steam
ers up the st. John river, and the New Bruins
wick and Canada railroad from st. Andrews
to Woodstock on the upper st. John river,

BRIEF LoCALs.-The work on the interior of
the Falmouth Hotel is progressing rapidly.
Most of the carpets are down, the curtains up
and several rooms are furnished all ready for
occupancy. For elegance of furniture and
apartments, the Falmouth is ahead of any,
thing in the United States. We learn that the
first dinner cooked in the new hotel is to be
ginen to the workmen employed ON the build
ing.
The principal wholesale houses on CONNER
cial street closed their places of business at
o'clock Saturday afternoon.

THE Argus calls our attention to the 'ac'
that it was correspondent VINO denounced
Congress for adding 20 per cent. to the salaries
of the overworked clerks at Washington. The
Argus has never found any fault with that be-
nevolent disposition of the public money. We
ought TO have known as much. Only two
Democratic Congressman voted against the
appropriation" A special dispatch to the
New York Herald says that very strong feel
ing of resentment has been aroused IN the
government departments against the Radical
party in consequence OF tablng the Dill grant
ing continuation for another year OF their ad-
ditional 20 per cent. Since Friday the con-
servative element in politics has gained large
number of converts. 4N
All right! for every vote lost in the depart
ments by the exercise of a wise and just econ
omy a thousand will be gained in the country.
Meanwhile let it be remembered that the Dem
ocratic members of Congress while making
the day hateful and the night hideous with
their clamors for an economical administra-
ton voted in body for the increase of pay to
government clerks.

PEDEsTRIANIsM.-Saturda morning Mr.
H. James, who short time since walked from
Biddeford to Portland and back in seven and
half hours, started to perform the same feat
in six and half hours, on bet of 500. Start
ing at o'clock A. NJ, he made the distance
ftom Biddeford to Portland in two hours and
fifty-eght minutes, rested here only three
minutes and started back; but on the home
stretch he broke down nine miles from Bdde-
ford, and concluded to avail himself OF an in
vitaton to ride the rest of the journey. The
Saco Courier says he hurried too much at the
commencement of his journey, and from what
we can learn has not had good training.

RAILROAD MArrpns IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

RAILROAD MATTERS IN New HAMPSHIRE
We notice that the House of Representatives
have had under discussion the question fex-
empti from taxation shares in railroad COM
panies for ten years. The subject was very
ably discussed for an entire day, by the ablest
talent in the House. A motion was made to
iu' efinitely postpone the bill which was decid-
ed in the negative by yeas 100, nays 1853. The
friends of railroads feel eiated. There has
been no report as yet from the committee on
railroads on either Of the proposed routes from
Portland West. We notice however that the
bill uniting the Portland and Rochester and
Nashua and Epping companies has passed the
House to be enacted and is now before the

with the greatest earnestness that could lay
upon them, and 1 repeat them in print with

TODAY the bill for relieving citizens OF the
South from political disabilities which was de-
feated in the House Friday comes up again
by special assignment. Many of the officers
elect in Georgia and North Carolina cannot
enter upon the discharge of their duties until
the bill passed. Twenty-seven Republicans
united with the Democrats to defeat it on Fri
day. The Democrats oppose it on the general
ground of an instructive repugnance to any
recognition of loyalty or patriotism, and the
Republicans because some of them think a
general enfrarchisement would be preferable
and others feaa that the loyalty of the persons
relieved cannot be relied upon.

L In 1852 the Opera Bouffe or Comic Opera
made its first appearance in Paris where it
created an immense sensation. While the
Grand Opera required external splendor and
consummate vocalism the Comic Opera was
restricted to simple forms of song, and voices
of more natural calibre. The base or basso
of the former became the cornerstone of the
latter, but the salient characteristics of the OPP
era bouffe consisted in the ensembles and f1,rle
which brought the dramatic element-thrown
quite into the background in the grand opera
into full relief. Consequently while we have
had many representations of italian Opera in
this country where the prima-donnas far sur
passed in voice the prima-donna of the Opera
Bouffe, the acting of Mile Fostu and the 9TH
er artists of Mr.. Batemans Company together
with the superb Instrumentation and the aoo,a-
derful chorus Of fifty voices-on which, in fact,
the great r,erit Of tho Comic Ore-a doPo,,ds,
have never been equaled in this country. We
think then that too much cannot be said in
praise of those gentlemen who, at such great
expense, determined to place before their fel
low citizens the most perfect opera company
in all its details that has ever appeared in
America, trusting to their often expressed
wish for good theatre that the people of
Portland would fill the apology for a theatre
they possessed, in order to prove that they ap-
preciated the motive that actuated such an un-
dertaking and were determined that as far
as they could help by their presence they
would fill the house. MERCUTlo.
