gregatonal church, near the centre of the
town, in which the old Puritan gospel has
been dispensed from time out of mind, but is
now dispensed with seems quite deserted. The
old church was removed about thirty years
ago and new one erected on the same foun-
datlon, at which time the society was one of
the most flourishing in the State. It was the
only place of worship for several miles around
and truly commendable zeal was manifested
by persons who lived six and eight miles dis
tance to attend, in stormy weather, before buf-
ialo robes and stones were very generally
in use. Rev. Mr.. Richardson was their pas
tor at the time the new church was erected,
who remained there % years. He was sue
ceeded by Rev. Mr.. Davenport, who died
about five years ago. Since that time Rev.
Mr.. Wilcox has occupied the desk, but is now
intending to go to Massachusetts,, and from
present appearances the house will be unoc-
cupied A Union church has been erected in
another part of the town, which has drawn off
a portion of the congregation and if, as is now
contemplated, church is erected at Spurs
Corner, it will be very difficult 20 sustain
meeting on the hill. A meeting of the parish
has been called to see whether or not it is ad-
visable to repair the old house and endeayor to
sustain preaching or yield to the tide that ap-
pears to be setting in other directio ms. G.

OTIsFIELD, April 80, 1870
To the Editor Of the Press:
AS the water power in this town is very lin
tied, the Inhabitants rely, mainly, upon the cul-
tivation of the soil, raising stock and lumber
ing operations, with such manufacturing as
can be carried on without power, for their
means of support. There are some excellent
farms in this town, and the farmers generally
are industrious and thrifty. Among the best
farmers are the Messrs Andrews, c. H, Has
kell, James Lowell, Mr.. Edwards, Mr.. Holden,
and others 1 might mention, who raise large
crops of apples, potatoes and hay.
CLOTHING MANUFACTURING.
Messrs. Scribner & Andrews are manufac-
turing clothing for Boston market, getting out
1000 pairs of pants aud some portions of the
year large quantity of coats week. They
are giving employment to several hundred
persons within ten fifteen milef of their
place of business. Their manufactory is at
Spurrr's Corner, where they have store and
an extensive trade.
NUMBERING.
Messrs G.. & L. p. Warren of Saccarappa.
have cut about a million and half feet OF
lumber in this town the past winter. Messrs.
d. & +. Andrews $4,000 feet and tM D. An.
drews 5000 feet. 1t is put into Crooked
IiNcI anu lNUo Iuc ITcSuLupSCOl, Uy WHICH,
means it reaches Saccarappa. There is large
quantity of standing wood and timber in this
town, much of it of excellent quality. The
valuation OF the town would be very much in
creased If there was good water power with
IN its limits for working up the various kinds
of timber adapted to different kinds of manu-
featuring. The power at Bolster's Mills, where
there IS quite a village, partly in Harrison,
could be made available to a much greater
extent than it is with good dam and i'm.
proved water wheels. There is a mill at e asl
Otisfield which does quite large business in
the spring and fall ~
