This report further says Zone Of the impor-
tant advantages to the city of introducing wa
ter, will be the ready use of constant and
never failing supply of water to be used in
case of fire." (The people of Portland can full
ly appreciate this).
Another important advantage resulting from
the introduction of water, win be the reduced
risk Of loss by fire, and the diminished cost of
insurance on all the property the city.
This saving whether the citizens may effect
insurance on the property or take the risk
themselves without insurance, will more than
pay the cost of water to consumers.
we believe the saving to the city in the Fire
department and otherwise will be nearly
enough to pay interest on the cost of the work,
and including the saving in insurance and the
increase value it will give to property will be
more than equal to the yearly cost of water to
the Inhabitants
I'm all countries, and in all ages. a plenti-
full supply of pure water has ever been regard.
as great public blessing. The most extror-
binary works now remaining of the magnif-
cence OF ancient Rome, are the lofty ranges
of the connected arches of the hewn stone
aqueducts, which appear at an elevation OF
40 or 80 feet above the plains beyond the city
gate, as if striding away in far extended line
until they become lost in distance at the verge
Of the horizon. After the lapse of more thar
a thousand years some Of these lines of arches
serve to support the hewn stone channels fo
the water; and the crystal streams still con
tinue to flow through and bringing with then
the same healthfnl enjoyment as in Older
time" In manufacturing city, such a
Portland will be, an abundance of pure water
for use in the various branches of the useful
arts, will give additional prosperity to the city
and rapidly hasten its growth.
NEARLY every city in Europe has its publ
square enlivened and refreshed by pub liz
fountain to promote the enjoyments of tn
people. This delightful and essential elemen
of human health and happiness, has been bu
little thought of by the too absorbing pursui Il
of business life. 1t will be Both pleasant an,
profitable to the present generation to enjo.
the blessing of an abundant supply of pur'
and wholesome water and to reflect that wheI
they shall be gathered to their fathers the,
will leave this blessing as noble legacy to cal
forth forever, the grateful recollections of thei
posterity"

Letter frsm I4inceIn County.
TO the Editor Of the Press:

RocKLAND, July 20, 1869
This thriving city, now noted for its lime
quarries, at the entrance to Penobscot Bay, is
favored with one Of the best harbors ON
the coast, and affords a lovely view and cool
invigorating atmosphere to the traveller max
ing it delightful locality to while away as
much of the heated term as any toil-worn wan
derer may wish to spend in a cool retreat
Lime being the great staple, all other inter-
ests depend on the success of this. The lime
kilns arc situated on the wharfs, or rather on
the shore of the Bay in front of the city, each
kiln being surrounded by low shed into
which the lime is drawn from the kiln, put up
in sacks and kept slowed till shipped, which
is done from a pier connected with each kiln,
so that the lime only requires to be lowered
fiom the sheds to The vessels hold
The lime stone is quarlied from a low ridge
running parallel with the shore and about
mile distant al is hauled to the kilns by horse
teams Of two or four each, which is very inn
portant branch of tine business.
The wood for burning is brought from more
easterly parts Of the State, by water. One
cord is required for every twenty-five casks of
lime.
Lime costs at present, as am told, when
ready for shipment, $1.O3, but will not bring
more than 500, involving loss which has
obliged many TO- suspend operations till the
market improves, making the remark. busi-
ness is dull, frequent here as elsewhere.

DEFALcATIoN OF AN OFFICER OF AN INsUR-
ANcE CoMPANY.-The news we published yes
terday morning concerning F. w. Ballard,
Secretary of the Security Insurance Company
of New York, who has made away with $63 900
belonging to the Company, is confirmed. The
affair is made more sadly interesting in this
vicinity on account of Mr.. Ballard's active
participation in the Conference of Young
mems Christian Associations lately held in
this city, where he made an excellent impress
sion. Persons insured in the company in
which Mr.. Ballard was employed will be glad
to learn that its financial standing will not be
in the least impaired by this unfortunate affair."
The delinquent officer was promptly discharg-
ed, and the Company has published an adver-
tisement stating that the only consequence of
the defalcation is that the surplus fund is re-
duced from $9O9,3O to $S45, 1903. The assets
of the Company amount to almost two million
dollars

OPENING OF NEW CHURCH. Yesterday
afternoon the new church of st. Paul's Parish
(Episcopal), on the corner of Congress and Lo-
Gust streets, was opened with appropriate SER
vices. There were present the following cler.
gymen: Rt. Rev. Bishop Nicely, and Rev.
Nessrs. Root, (rector of the parish), Dalton,
Hayes and Chaplin Of Portland, Ballard Of
Brunswick, Baker of Lewiston and Alger Of
Saco. After Evening Prayer, informal adj
dresses were made by Rev. Mr.. Root and the
Bishop. The former gave brief sketch of the
history of the parish, and among other things
referred to the beautiful column standing in
the rear of the altar table and supporting the
cross. This was one of the supporters to the
gallery of old st. PauPs, built more than sixty
years ago. When the old church was remod-
eled, thirty years ago, this was preserved by
one of the congregation, who had offered it as
gift to the young parish; and it had been
joyfully received and priced for its history
Bishop Neely followed with words of congrat-
ulation, and at the close of the service large
sum was contributed as thank-offering by
the congregation.

est importers of st. Croix Rum and Calisaya
Bark in America. The rum imported by this
firm is all used in the preparation of their Bit
ters, and is manufactured under the immediate
supervision Of one of their agents, upon leased
plantations on the island Of ST. Thomas. Over
nine thousand puncheons, about one million
gallons, is used annually for their Bitters Alone
The Calisaya Bark is all imported from Brazil,
and is also gathered and selected by the natives
under the supervision of an agent sent out for
that purpose. The cures produced by these
Btters are wonderful.

By WALTER WELLS
1t need not be repeated that the only hope
of Maine for general and widely diffused opu-
hence and large increase OF population, rests
upon the development of her great manufac-
turing resources. 8 a4
1t is upon this assurance that the explora-
ton the water power of the State has been
entered upon and thus far prosecuted -
upon the assurance that when manufacturers
beyond the State become acquainted with the
extraordinary measures of mechanical force
now running to waste in our rivers, they will
make haste to come in and use it.
But we, the people Of Maine, who are most
deeply concerned, have not in proportion to
our opportunities and necessities laid our own
hands to the work of developing our manufac-
tures. The word is continually on our tongues
I'VE must manufacture, we must set our wa
ter-powers at workout we do not do it. The
Werk is done to be sure to some extent, but
mainly by sxtra-State capital and enterprise
and at best inadequately. There are multi
tudes Of water-powers 10 the State, situated
amongst well-to-do communities, that have
not commanded single hours effort or a sim
gle dollars outlay toward their development.
Each man waits for his neighbor to move, and
all wait for outside capitalists or operators to
come In and do the work.
