Manufacturing sites wanted.

Mr.. EDTToR:- The water Power of Maine
is now rapidly distributing. AS result, not
infrequent Inquiries are addressed to the I'M
designed, by parties who wish to establish
some line Of manufacture, and to do it in the
best place and under the most favorable cir
cumstances. In particular, inquiries are rails
ed as to what disposition exists in the State to
cooperate with manufactures coming in from
abroad. To answer these inquiries 1
need a full list of such towns as have voted to
aid in the development of manufacturers with
ia Etheir borders. I venture, accordingly, to
ask through your columns, the chairman of
the board of selectmen of all such towns to
send me copy of the resolution or vote by
which such assistance was pledged. with any
additional information bearing in the same di-
rection. Individual proprietors, also, are in
vited to say what they will do toward the es-
tablshment of manufactures upon their prem
ises.
PAPER MILL OR SITE WANTED.
A gentleman of ample means resident in an
adjoining State desires paper-mill, say of two
tons per day capacity, situated upon tide mater,
as the raw material is to come by.sea. If fa-
vorable conditions are offered, with first rate
site upon navigable waters he will build He
would require to be exempted from taxation
for the usual number of years and would
doubtless look for liberal arrangements pre-
paratory to locating his capital. He now is
disposed to settle beyond State, but can be,
as L hope, induced to come to Maine. Any
parties who may have property adapted, as
above, are invited to make statement to the
undersigned, who will endeavor to further
their views and wishes at once.
WATER POWER AND LUMBER WANTED.
A party, resident in Massachusetts, desires a
tract of land with spruce and oak upon it, with
say tweDty-fi horse powers of water-power
connected, unfailing through the year. Said
tract must have good facilitiestor Transporter
ton by river, railroad, or sea. The lumber is
to be worked up small, in part into cOoperage
stock. Qnite number OF hands WILDE en-
ployed. The party proposes to clear the tract
and iMprove it afterward, and would accord
ingly give preference to good soil, other
things being equal. will lay before this gen
tleman any statement that may come to hand
in response to this notice. My services are of
course rendered gratutously in the above as
they will in all similar eases.

A SINGULAR AFFAIR.-Lawrehce, Mass,
has been treated to first class sensation,
which is thus described:
1t seems that a curious discovery was made
quite lately ON the glass of an attic window In
a two story house in Lawrence, of face of a
female, with flowing hair, and partly covering
two panes of glass; the face being entirely on
one and the hair flowing into the other pane.
The appearance is that of a faded photograph,
though everything is perfectly visible The
question is, how came the face on that window ?
Nobody knows; nobody can give a more ra-
tional answer than that it may have been
photographed by lightning, unbeknown to the
lady who was sitting 10 front of the window
during thunder Storm. When first dscov-
cred the face was thought to resemble an elder
ly lady who had just been buried from the
house; and it was im mediately worked up into
a first class ghost story, ard regarded as a
wonderful spirit manifestation. But subse-
auent examinations have failed to discover any
resemblance to the departed elderly lady, whose
it was supposed to be, and rather inclined peo-
ple to believe it to be the face and head of a
Young woman. Thus the mystery remains
unsolved. The face and head of female have
certainly made their appearance on common
window glass; and nobody can tell whence
they came nor how the picture was made.
