We are as you might say Giving in clover"
at the present time. Turkeys, chickens, mince
pies etc., are the order of the day, Thanksgiv-
ing Day being so near at hand. According to
the general CUSTOM all the boys have grand
sleigh ride, for which we are well prepared, as
the sleighing is excellent-never was better. A
gentleman informed me yesterday that bus
ness called him to Perkins Plantation Monday,
and he found the roads drifted so badly that he
had to put his horse up and walk nearly mile,
as it was impossible to go through the roads be-
ing drifted so badly
Mr.. Samuel Farmer of this village, has pur-
chased house and lot here and another sum-
mer he intends entering largely into the breed
ing of fancy horses. He will erect stable
capable of holding over seventy He
will bring celebrated stallion from Kentucky,
costing him nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Fletcher will commence operations in his
factory very soon. He received the first con-
signment of two car loads of gypsum from the
provinces last Friday, which will be ground in
to plaster His stone will all come from the
above place.
The Abbott Family School at Little Blue, in
this village; commenced its winter session last

a live man, and by his efforts the school has at
tanned to very high degree of prosperity
During the vacation just past, MI B. has been
remodeling and refurnishing the covered gym
nasium connected with the school, until at the
present time it is unsurpassed in the State.

picked of wallet containing S25, one day last
week, at the depot Last Tuesday Mr.. Charles
Vining passed through this village en- route for

Frenchman in town observed lady passing,

THE Wing mistakes us. We would not
suppress the publication of book simply be-

course would make a terrible thinning out OF

BILE number of government forces have deserted
and gone over to Diaz. Ample facilities have
been granted Juarez by Congress to put down
the revolution. Several generals aud colonels
heretofore loyal have gone over to Diaz, who
denounce the past election and advocates
reforms and new elections. The revolt extends
from San Luis to the Rio Grande. Puebla is
also in revolt Still the government expects to
put down the revolution. Aurelano is lowering
near the capitol with force and the roads are
insecure. Col Gutierrez has pronounced in
Tallancingo, Minister Mariscal is attacked in
congressional speeches for undertaking the
Mexican loan in the United States. Durango
is occupied by Borrego. Cavalis is yet faithful.
Terra Cruz is doubtful. Majia, Secretary of
War, is in command of an army in the field

The Board of Manufactures have now sta
ted precisely what the city will be asked to DO
to promote the revival of business IN PORT
land Exemption of new manufacturing ell
terprises from taxation for ten years ana the
appropriation of thousand dollars for the
payment of the expenses Of the board which
is to have the immediate charge of the neces-
sary preliminary work-this is the whole pro-
gramme. To the last proposition we hear
some objection; to the first, hardly any. The
time is well chosen to exempt manufactures
from local taxation, because it will be almost
ten years before new State valuation. in
which the exempted property must be en-
braced, will be taken. The State and county
tax levied on this particular kind of property
will not, therefore, have to be paid by other
persons than its owners more than two or
three years before the period of forbearance,
limited by law, has expired. Accordingly IL
may be assumed that the City Council VIII
pass the order embraced in the report OF the
board, and that in consequence the tenth cen
sus will find Portland much larger and
Weather city than the ninth did. 1t is not
likely that the suspicion of unconstitutionality
which hangs over the exemption authorized
by the Legislature will materially affect the
success of the policy, when we see towns ev-
cry year taking the much graver and more
doubtful step of making direct appropriations
from the public funds for the benefit of ipdi-
vidual manufactures-and then persuading
the Legislature to legalize the irregular pro-
ceeding
Portland is by no means alone in newly
awakened interest in manufactures. A dis
passionate outsider might say without much
exaggeration that Maine has gone wild on
the subject. All our State exchanges discuss
the matter with reference to its bearings on
their local interests. Judging from their dec
larations one would think that every consid-
cradle town from Fort Kent to Calais and to
Kittery expects to be "a great manufacturing
centre" In Washington County the talk is
all of mammoth tanneries. In Knox and
Waldo it is mainly of boot and shoe factories.
In Gardiner it is the same. In Augusta and
Waterville it is cotton and wooden mills.

empt new enterprises Irom taxation. Lew
iston and Auburn have already fair start,
but they are still pushing things as vigorously
as if neither of them had spindle or shoe
shop. Houlton and Presque Isle antagonis-
tic in all else, agree for once in asseverating
that eve must have manufactres."
1t is fitting that the metropolis of Maine
should take conspicuous part in movement
that seems to be general, and that is likely tc
change the destiny of the State. Care should
be taken that an enterprise so vigorously un
dertaken does not evaporate in smoke, leay-
ing its projectors and all whose enthusiasm
they have excited more dispirited and hope
less than at the start. The character of the
men who have taken the thing in hand is
such that we have no fear of such disas
trous result
