TO the Editor Of the Press:
Those who have lived for years in the vi
cinity OF this village, or have had occasion to
pass through it, must have been impressed
with the belief that at some time the I'M
mense water power which, until recently, has
been but little used. would be called into re-
quisition and made to contribute to the
wealth of the country and to the increase OF
business. Since the building of the Andro-
scocpin Railroad the power has been purchas-
ed with some 200 acres of land extending a
mile down the river, in which distance there
is a fall of about thirty-four feet.
About two years ago company was organ
lied, called the Androscoggm Water Powe,
Company, of which Oliver Moses, Esq.r o.
Bath is President, Mr.. GaIen G. Moses, Treas
urer, and MI. E. Plummer, Agent.

AGRICULTURAL AND FINANCIAI-
The farmers are busy planting early pota-
toes and peas. Most Of Them have a surplus
of the products of the farm, for which they
are unable to find a market. The collectors
of taxes for the last year in the neighboring
towns report larger amount remaining un-
paid than for years. And they see no way
for the taxpayers to raise the money
BUSINESS.
In the cotton manufactures there is no
considerable demand for goods, but they are
being run more for Che benefit of the work
men than for the interest of the owners.
All through the Iall and winter the shoe
business has been good. A large part of the
shoes manufactured are for the use OF the
freedmen, whose taste is for a shoe of which
the upper leather is of russet color, since
on the burning sands of the South they are
more comfortable than any other styles.
PERSONAL.
The editor of the Morning Star has been
granted leave of absence for two months,
for the purpose of recuperating his health.
HALE EXPECTED HOME.
The mansion OF John P. Hale, late Minis
ter to Madrid, is being put in complete run
ming order in anticipation of his return.
EFFECT OF WAR RUMoRs ON BUSINESS.
The capitalists OF this city decline to put
out any money for business purposes under
the present aspect Of affairs abroad. Mr.
Hale's letters to his friends do not contain
admonitions of clear skyin European mat
tiers.
RAILROADS.
Railroad matters relative to the construc-
ton Of new roads are not in a very promising
condition, except the Nashua and Rochester
Road.

wooLEN MANUFAcrURINe.

In 1854, the Worumbo Manufacturing Co.
erected brick mill, go fee. by $50, with an
ell 10 feet by 100, four stories high. In 1866
another brick building was erected, 100 feet
by 40, of the same height, which is now used
for asserting wool and as dye house. This
company has The same President and Treas
urer as the Water Power Company, and its
stock is owned, to great extent. by the same
men. 1t runs ten sets of machinery and is
employed in manufacturing alLwool beavers,
of a very excellent quality. Employment is
given to 1856 hands, and 10000 yards of six
quarter goods are turned out each month
The pay roll amounts to near $4,000 a month.
Mr.. +. Gutmann has had charge Of the man
ufactrring department for about three years.
This village is now increasing quite rapidly
in business and population and is destined to
rank among the largest manufacturing towns
in the State. There is power sufficient to
run 100000 spindles and to build up a place
OF 10000 inhabitants. It is eleven miles from
Lewiston and II from Bath, connected by a
railroad.
SAW AND GRIsr MILL.
The Water Power Company are running
two saw mills which are getting out large
quantity of lumber annually. Cne of these
mills is situated on the Little River, which
empties into the Androscoggin few rods be-
low the dam. The grist mill is grinding about
10000 bushels Of corn year, besides doing a
large custom business for the village and the
surrounding country.
BUILDING.
Several large buildings are in process Of
completion, and the Worumbo Company has
erected fine clearinghouse, 90 by 80 feet,
three stories high. A large schooLhousa has
been recently built and the churches, which
were in rather dilapidated condition few
years ago, have been repaired and put in good
condition, so that the village is gradually as
suming an attractive as well as prosperous
appearance. Should business warrant, other
mills will be erected which. will tend to in
crease the general growth and business of the
place. 1t is proposed to cut a canal through
the present season, from the dam to near the
toll-bridge, for the purpose of Increasing the
power for the use of other mills. = G.

To preserve sweet corn a lady writer
in ne Prairie Farmer says ~ take
wha is called the sugar corn, gather it
when it for roasting ears OF an evening,
and after huskirg it cut it from the cob
with sharp knife; cutting the grains
about half in two. Then scrape the re-
mainder from the cob with the knife; then
put it in bread pans, filling the pans level
full, and place in the stove oven and leave
it there whilst cooking supper and break
fast, stirring often to prevent scorching.
This preserves all the sweetness of the
corn by It's cooking the milk into it. In
the morning spread it on a scaifold in the
hot SUI and it is dry enough by night to
sack hang the sack in the sun for few
days 10 thoroughly dry. Then to cook it,
soak it three or four hours, and cook it
about half an hour. Season with little
butter and salt and put in little thicken

Failure of Bank and Some OF the

A lady presented check, says the Wat

guished attorney of Canandaigua, for some
81 400 or 81, 800 only the day before the
catastrophe, and was induced to forego
payment, as matter of temporary ac-
commodation to the bank, for day or
two; but having been advised by friend
subsequently that the bank would not be
holden without the check had been "certi-
fed, she returned it and had it certified
thus unwittingly releasing the attorney
and lost all A farmer called at the bank
on Saturday morning to purchase draft
for $500, and as the clerk, who was entire
" innocent of what was going on, could
not reach the blanks till Mr.. Raple came
with the safe keys the man left his money
to do little business elsewhere. During
his absence several checks from other par
ties were sent in, and as the key he'd not
arrived, the clerk paid the checks out of
the farmers cash, in the utmost good faith,
using it all up, or nearly so. When the
farmer returned for his DRAFT, the news of
the bankers disappearance had just been
communicated to the clerk, but too late.
The money was gone, no draft could be
given, and there was no remedy.
There are many other incidents of a
most singular and aggrayating character,
but the most painful one is that of man
who had deposited $4,000 worth of ma
tional bonds for safe-keeping, portion of
which belonged to children for whom he
was acting as guardian On learning his
and their irreparable loss, he went into
commissions, and at last adviccs was a raw
ing maniac We give these reports as
they reach us, and, while unable to vouch
for their perfect accuracy, doubt not that
they are substantially true.

These questions have been asked in all ages, but
never have they been as satisfactorily responded 70
as at the present day, and the answers which com.

gives to them in the Nineteenth Century may be
briefly stated thus: 81 e.
