Letter from Harrington.
HARRINGTON, May 20, 1860.


| 10 the Editor cffhe Press:
This village has been built up within few
years, mainly by ship-building. There are
but few rich men, but nearly all are inde-
pendent. The vessels built here are owned
and sailed by the builders and captains, each
putting in labor, material or cash and taking
quarter, eighth or sixteenth. The income
of the pace comes from the earnings Of the
vessels as there are none built on contract,
and it is seldom the case that one OF their
vessels is put into the market. A company is
made up of carpenters, joiners, blacksmlths,
samakers, sailing master and capitalist, and
when completed the vessel is put into SER
vice, the first receipts going to pay the rigging
expenses, &c, after which each receives an
income or suffers a loss in proportion to the
interest he takes. The cost OF building and
completing a vessel Of 800 tons is about
$4,000, which amount is frequently earned
by the vessel in FIVE or six years, or it may be
ost in half the time. There are but few
places in the State where the people are more
industrious, temperate and independent, each
man being his own employer and owning
part of the vessel on which he is employed.
There ere now five vessels on the stocks from
200 to 500 tons, and others are to be put up as
soon as these are off. The village of Har-
riDgton is at OF the head of tide waters, ac-
cessible by vessels of 600 tons. A small
steamer now runs up this river twice week
to connect with the steamer Lewiston, main
ly for the purpose of carrying freight.
The quickest and most direct route to this
place from Portland, is by steamer Lewiston,
which now leaves on Tuesday and Friday
evenings, arriving here a little past noon on
the next days. The friends Of the Lewiston
do not boast much of her speed, but the City
of Richmond, which is somewhat celebrated
for that quality, finds it difficult to leave her
very much behind and consequently they
come into Rockland together, where they
part company. G.

ana Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won SO widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their estina-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
Of the lungs and throat, have made il known re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the time the most ciectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gcfOus affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
bekept ON hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
crabe, still great numbers of eases where the dis
eaSe seemed settled, have been completely cured,
ami the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. SO complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
foraJ they subside and disappear.
singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
lfsthn,a is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
tan assure the public that its qualities fully
maintained.
