PARIS, May 2S, 1870.
To the Editor of the Press:
The season is fast approaching when Paris
Hill is the centre of attract ion for hundred
of persons in search of comfort and pleasure
not to be found in large cities during the hot
months Of summer. Those who are accus-
toned to receive summer boarders are putting
their homes in order, while they are constant
ly in the receipt Of letters of inquiry in rela-
tion TO accommodations for individuals and
families. Mr.. H. Hubbard, a popular landlord
whose house is the home of many of our best
families during the summer, will find his ex-
tensive accommodations inadequate 10 the de-
mand the coming season, judging from pres
ent indications.
THE COUNTY BUILDINGS
in Oxford County are nothing to brag Of Any
movement to erect such buildings as are re-
quired would be opposed by sections of the
County in favor OF changing the seat of gov
ernment or seeding and organizing a new
county or becoming annexed to some other.
Among the occupants OF the jail is young
lawyer whose crime is failure TO pay SO lax.
l am not informed whether the cOmmital was
the result of unwaranted persecution ON the
part of the official or foolish persstency on the
part Vi tne Vlcllu. lHe COuIlty OHlcerS ap-
pear to be attending as faithfully to the bus-
ness of the County as though their quarters
were as magnificent as those of Cumberland
or Sagadahoc.
THE OXFORD DEMOCRAT
is constantly increasing in popularity and cir
culaton. Mr.. Shaw, its editor and publisher,
is live man and gets out live paper, emf
nently deserving the extensive patronage it is
receiving. There are but few more ably con-
Quoted or reliable papers in the State.
THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
The Republicans of Oxford County are very
confident that the nominee of the Republican
Convention for Governor will be an Oxford
County man and resident in this town. 1st
because his position in the convention last
year gives BIN some claim upon the party this
year. I'd, because he is believed to be the
choice OF a majority of the Republicans OF the
State, if they could be left to express their
preference unbiased by those who have politi-
cal aspirations which may be better subserved
by putting forward another man. No man
who has enjoyed the acquaintance of Hon.
Sidney Perham, can have any doubt in relation
to his answering integrity, sound judgment
and high moral character. He has always been
true TO every important principle that has been
incorporated into the platform of the Republi-
can party, State or National Mr.. Perham
gives himself but little anxiety about the re-
suit of the convention. He has been brought
before the people as candidate without any
agency of his own and will gracefully submit
to the expressed will of the party, and il any
other man should be nominated he will receive
his earnest support.
MANUFACTURING.
At South Paris the Paris FIGURING Mill is
doing its usual amount of business. Mr.. f. G.
Morrell, manufacturer Of Plows and Cultiya-
tors, has exhibited good show of what Yam.
KEGS call pluck. He commenced business with
poor health and soon after GETTING underway
his foundry was destroyed by fire and soon al.
ter new one was erected the freshet damag-
ed him to the amount of several hundred dol.
lars: He is now in good working condition
.galn, and will get out about 500 plows and
S0O cultivators the present season. The Her
sey plow has always been avorite among
the farmers and PettingilPs patent Horse
Hoe or Cutivator is being generally introduc-
ed throughout the State, giving excellent sat-
isfaction. Z.
