Bit At BARE HOOK Some men
sill learn nothing by experience. We
have many a time and OFT warned our
rca,,rrs against the tricks played upon
the uuwary 10y New York sharpers,
ami old them that when man offered
an article actually worth $50 for so
he would do to be watched closely.
Business is not carried on that way.
1t seems, though, that these warnings
have been unheeC ed by some persons,
or they thought themselves too sharp
to het,ken in 10y any of their New \ ork
Peter Funk games. A short time since
q worthy German residing in this city
received a package of tickets and
notice to the effect that if he would for
wari ten cents and the tickets he would
heiuformed what the tickets had drawn.
The matter was very adrOitly arrang-
cd. ami our German friend, who is not
tie least bit selfish, gave the tickets,
save one reserved for himself, to his
friends. The dime each was sent on,
and in a few days one was notified that
he had drawn California diamond
lrrasipin worth so, which he could
nave 10y sending on 81; another had
drawn a watch worth 500, which would
he sent on the receipt of So and our
friend received word that he had
drawn Il silver tea set, which would
hc sent to him on the receipt

We're called in TO rejoice with Nolte IN
in his good fortune On opening the

contain a flower basket OF glass, worth,
perhaps, seventy-fv cents. Mr.. Nolte
at once called on Squire Johnston, who
issuel the papers necessary to prevent
The express company from sending the
money back to New York. The chances
are that Nolte will recover his money,
less some two or three dollars expended
IN recovering it, and will hereafter let
metropolitan sharpers alone. Oh course
the express company is not TO blame IN
the matter, the collection OF the bills
sent with goods being part ofthelr busl'
ness, and they cannot tell who sends

in it or not. If you would not be
swindled never try TO buy $40 worth for

1t is in the upper part of the village, struct-
ure 70 feet long by 80 in width, and stories
in height. Runs of stones for grinding corn
and all grains except wheat will be added.
Steam is to be the motive power. The num-
Der of hands employed will be upwards of
seventy-fve, and vast quantity Of timber will
be required to answer the demand. The fac
tory was formerly situated at Livermore Falls,
and was removed to its present location the
past spring, the town of Jay loaning its credit
to aid the enterprise. Mr.. Wesley Hutchins,
the proprietor, is evidently an energetic bust
ness man. Poplar timber is chiefly used, and
is very abundant in the valley of the Andres
coggin, and the immediate vicinity of the mill
affords large supply.
