Matters in Hollis.
A correspondent Of the Portland Press, writ
ing from Bar Mills, gives some interesting
TENS Of matters in Hollis, as follows;
The lnmbermen on the Saco River are max
ing extensive preparations to do heavy BUSH
ness as soon as a sufficient quantity Of snow
comes TO allow them 10 get their logs TO the
mills. Mr.. Chas. McKenney, at this place, is to
do the most Of his logging on the cars over the
Portland and Rochester railroad. He is now
running four machines on Heading, and manu-
features about 1000 per day.
Mr.. ID. c. jordan Is extensively engaged in
the manufacture Of hogshead shocks in addition
TO his other hard wood lumber business. He
stands ready to furnish anything for the build
ing OF ship,-frOm treenail to the heaviest
plank.
Last week there was an auction sale Of price
timber here. embrao;sg four lots owned by Mr..
Richard Palmer. Joseph HobsCn, esq, Of Saco,
was the highest bidder and purchased the whole
at $4,000. The amount Of timber on the lots
has been estimated at rising million.
About three months ago Good Temphr
Lodge was orgsnirsd. in this village, which has
done vast amount OF god, and thus far has
been managed with signal success. Attic COM
there were about ten members, and
now the number exceeds one hundred. Some Of
the best men Of the village have lately joined,
and with them several young men whose great
est failing has been too strong desire for ar
dent spirits.
For the past three weeks the people Of Hollis
Centre and vicinity have been in state Of con- |
stcrnation at numerous petty, but bold burgls-
ries committed in the neighborhood. The store
of 7. G. Mulyery has been entered three times
and goods Of some value taken each time. Last
Wednesday night the rascals entered the house
of Mrs. Jefferson. widow lady who was absent
at the time, and stole goods at the valuation OF
$50. This act aroused the citizens and put
them on the alert. Friday night strange man
was seen on the railroad, near the station, whose
appearance created some suspicion. Two or
three followed him, and when they overlook
him he drew revolver, which was knocked from
his hand by one Of the party. He was taken
into custody and had hearing before trial
justice. Saturday morning. He said he belong
Ell IN gang Of ten experienced burglars, and
that il had been their intention to open Mr..
safe that night When arrested he
had ON Mr.. Mulyery's oyercoat taken from the
store; and had in his pocket deed OF Mrs.
Jellerson's property. Some one said that 1t
was ON account Of this deed that he came back,
the land not being run out to suit him. This is
probably joke. n

Capt Palmer +. Droun, Of Kcnnebunk, found
IN Christmas day full grown wild cat just
caught in RABBIT snare and undertook to kill
him with the stock Of the gun rather than
through the murIle, which caused the breaking
Of the line and the escape Of the animal.
