The Machias Union says Messrs. NJ. B.
Stevens and S. B. French of Cutler, have
built this season on the old Bell site, in Tres
colt, single saw edger and lath mill. 1t is
a fine mill, has been running about eight
weeks, and they have sawed three cargoes OF
lumber, two of which have been shipped. 1t
is called an excellent mill, the machinery in
all particulars working very finely. MIR.
James O. Robinson, of East Machias, was
the Millright. A mill was built on the same
site % years ago, one of the first in that sec
ton of country. Mr.. Robinson, also, built o
lath and single mill at the head of the same
pond, for Joseph Bell, putting in one of the
Sleyton wheels. He also repaired the Bell
mill in Whiting, on the Orange stream, for
Messrs. George and robert Bell A Sleyton

Shoe Manufacturing.
The Lewiston Journal says there was neve,
a time when the prospects for the shoe bust.
ness in Auburn were so propitious as now
Never before was busir ess 80 good 80 late IL
the season, as it now is. All the manufactur.
ers are overrun with orders and their employ
ees are working, many of them, extra hours.
rhe production Of shoes was never so large a.
now, and although profits are not large, tn,
margin on large products is sufficient to max,
all hands cheerful and confident.
The following firms are now employed ir

and perhaps other firms that we may have
overlooked. These firms are now making
shoes valued at two and one-half millions OF
dollars, annually; they employ over 1000
hands, with yearly payroll of over 5000,
900.
In Lewiston also a good deal is being done
in shoe manufacture by the following firms
Dana Webster; White & Co., (scrge); j. j.

other towns in Androscoggin county good

a matter Of conjecture. SO far as my experi-
ence goes, nineteen ont Of twenty cannot tell
within ten years how old they are, MOI are their

very young children. John was born in cotton
pickin' time, de- year before freedom struck dc
EARTH Jenny was two months old when Massa
Charley was wounded in de army 'SAl was
born bout time massa built him a new gin
house, Jim was born in de Christmas week Ol
de year when de fros' killed de taturs.' such
are the data from which to collect the ages OF
children, while the ages Of older persons are
matter Of most uncertain conjecture"

Debts.-The ability Of every one to pay de-
pends on his ability to collect debts due him
The individuals Of a community are linked to-
gether by chain Of debts and credits, and in
times Of depression, the refusal Of one person tc
discharge single liability, often embarrassea
line of dozen debtors and creditors. Hence
the prompt payment of small debts becomes, in
times like these, public as well as private du
ty. The same money which pays debt in tn,
morning may pay a dozen before night and
twelve men are thus relieved from anxiety ant
pressure by the action of one. Let every per
son who may owe debt make a resolve tina
they will liquidate the same at the very earles
convenience, and then we will hear but very
little about hard times.

Over every victory won.

Pause not in the rough ascent;
Unseen forms will guide your footsteps,
Joy by angel hands is lent.
