A WARNING TO MANUFACTURING CoRPoRA-
TIoNs.-The Newburyport Herald, speaking of
a late meeting of the james Mills stockholders
in that city, says:
During hirteen years, under the late agent.
that compsny, with capital of $3.50, 600, di-
vided 5000 900; aud they have their property
left, but slightly embarrassed. The ouly mis-
take made in that administration was in pay
ing too much. II it had divided $500, 900, spent
100000 tor improvements in the old mill, and
100000 to build new mill, the original stock
would to-day have been worth two or three
hundred per cent. It is more dangerous to a
corporation to make dividends too large than
too small

Il ~ a
AS the time approaches when we are to have
an abundant supply Of water, everything bear
ing upon the subject, must be interesting In
our citizens. We propose giving from day TO
day such information as we deem interesting
OF instructive.
The following extract is from the report OF a
Water Committee in Providence, r. l.: "As
an objection to every new attempt to introduce
into cities pure and wholesome water, 1t has
been urged that wells already in use serve to
furnish an ample supply Few persons IN
cities are disposed to question the purity OF the
well water, constituting their daily beverage
although all waters other than freshly distill-
ed, may contain in solution more or less for
eign substances, yet there is found to be re-
markable difference.in the greater or less guam
tity of soluble matter, which potable water or
dinarily contains, and SO gradually does the
sense become blunted or perverted by the
long continued use of water that persons have
frequently been known to prefer water that
has some positive flavor of earthly salts, to per-
fect]y pure water In one of the early
reports Of the Water Committee OF New York
DIR. Dekay speaks of the resistance of
some people in that city to the introduction of
Croton water as due to this cause. He states,
"we must impute to long use and theinfuence
of habit the opinion that our water is sufi-
ciently puro for domestic purposes We have
known our citizens, on going into the country,
to express marked disrelish for pure spring
water. The popular expressions on such occa-
sions is, This water is like air-there is moth
ing in it-nothing to bite upon This habit
is exemplified in animals. At Saratoga
Springs cattle and horses have been noticed to
prefer the strongest mineral waters to pure
| spring water"
| The report continues: '"rhe coldness of well
water is another cause which conceals its i'm
purities when swallowed. This may be tested
by allowing it to stand until it has acquired
the ordinary summer temperature. The vari-
GUS ingredients then become manifest and pal
pable. These impurities are not caused by the
additional heat; they exist at all times in the
water-their presence is only disguised by its
GOODNESS, but its injurious qualities are in nc
| wise diminshed.''

ST.. PAgL's PARISH ExcURsIoN.-The late
hour of returning last night from the Ottawa
House, the scene of the excursion of the above
Society, makes it impossible for us to elaborate
the occasion. Suffice it to say that more than
two hundred persons responded to the invita-
ton to go and see the Chinese lanterns and
eat the good things sold at the tables under
them, and that all who could gam admission to
the hall went to see the tableaux, which were
produced as well as it were just to expect with
SO primitive appliances Mi Sue Peters had
charge of them, and some very excellent ones
from Dickens were given, preceded by happy
readings from the author Among the best
were the Jarley's Wax Figures and Nh
Squeer's School.
The excursionists found the yacht fleet at the
island, and the Ottawa House was thronged
throughout the evening, and many incidents
of jolity might be named, did space allow.
The scene when the yachts and the steamer
Ella came away, at halt-past ten, was very
grand and enlivening Altogether it was
happy and successful affair.

Our telegraphic summary of the exercise
at Dartmouth College is SO full that we ON
the letter of our correspondent at Hanover.
The following is the concluding portion I
the Centennial poem, by Edward E. Parke
of Brookline:
And ask ye now what Dartmouth's sons
Have done to add unto her glory?
What battles fought, wha vict'ries won,
What deeds and acts, renowned in story?
Go search through Afric's burning cline,
Visit the islands Of the sea,
Go where thou wilt, 10 every sod
That ever white mans foot hath trod,
And thou shalt find no cline or shore,
Where her sons have not been before.
Go Gull the history OF state,
For those whom men call good and great,
Statesman or priest. lawye or or seer,
She tears no equal, hath no peeri
For long as sun and moon shall give
Their light, her Webster's fame shall livel
Choate, Chase-but why the list prolong,
So thick and fast the numbers throng.
They're here to-day; from near and far,
From state house, pulpit, rostrum, bar,
Greeting with joyful hearts and gay,
Their Alma Matters festal day.
Gladly their hearts will join to raise
The voice of gratitude and praise,
To God whose goodness deigned to bless
The College in the wilderness.
