claims that he has received his dividends here
tofore from friend who has drawn them for
him, but this is also visionary idea as the in

places which they will occasionally visit pro-
fessionally. This company has recently ap-
pearcd in Bangor, and we find the following
good notice in a recent number of the Wing:
"Thc company have made many warm

citizens that they were not Of the same class
with the ordinary travelling troupcs. The

each is excellent in lis or her part, and the
whole form a combination which it is no ex-
aggtration to call the best that has visited our
city for years. Mr.. Hall is host in himself.
His versatility is really wonderful, and he is
admirably supported. Both pieces announc-
ed for last evening were perto med to the full
satisfaction of the large and fashionable audi
ence present, as was eyinced by the frequent
ard hearty applause. At the close of the
comedy, Miss Wseman and Mr.. Hall were
called before the curtain, when the latter, in
briet, but pointed and appropriate terms. re-
turned the thanks of the company and his
own, for the kind reception they have met
from the citizens of Bangor, and announced
his determination 10 return for short season

The elaborate efforts to make beet

able sugar at IL cents pound, worth
$50, 900; and 100000 pounds e per

poses, worth, at six cents a pound, $10,-

product Of three thousand tons of beets

quantity of bees In factory working so
hands day, he estimates to be SIG, 900 !;
so that the loss IN the operation would be

mately accurate would seem to be con-
frmed by the fact that the beet sugar

was expected, has Temporarily suspend

this kind of sugar should be probably

contain, compared with those grown in
Europe, and the high cost Of labor and
