Ripe fruits, especially berries, says the
Portland Transcript, are now the most whole
some food. The plebeian BURBERRY is ever
serviceable for pies, cake or sauce, and al
ways toothsome. Not so delicate in favor AS
the strawberry, nor so rich as the raspberry,
it Is more readily attanable as an every day
luxury, and never pals upon the palate or
fails to satisfy the taste. Growing as one of
the bounties of nature, without care or cult
walton, it is the friend Of the poor the promo
ter of health, and the enticement Of many
summer excursion, among the soltudts Of
nature, seldom visited at any other season.
1t is the berry which blooms aud ripens upon
the mountains OF Maine and in the deepest
recesses of its unfrequent, wids. The blue
berry crop is no unimportant item in the az
gregatc of our resources, and helps to fill
many poor mans flour barrel which might
otherwise be empty. The crop this year is
abundant and busy fingers are now gathering
it in, while in every household the rich stain
o. the berries is seen on the lips Of childhood.

The Atlanti C Engine Company of this city
held their annual meeting last evening for
the election Of officers and payment Of MEM
bers for their services the past year. The
following officers were chosen:
Foreman--W. b. Leighton.
Assistant Foreman-W. L. Potter.
Foreman of Hose-J. S. Little.
Clerk-W f. Lynn.
After the election of officers the company
repaired to the pleasant rooms of Potter &
Bennett, where the members and few in
vited guests sat down to a grand oyster sup
per, given by the officers of the company.
Following the supper were some pleasant re-
marks by his Honor, Mayor Eveleth and 9TH
ers. After this there was season of social
enjoyment. The Atlantics, one of the best
companies ever organized in this city, have
abundant reason to be proud of the appear
ance of their hall, which has been fitted up
chiefly at their ow n expense. The city con-
tributed something towards the painting and
papering, but the fresco papering on the walls,
the tasty carpet on the floor, and the various
adornings, were all the purchases of the COM
pany. The hail has the air and neatness of
parlor, and is a fitting place of meeting for so
noble company of men.

Death Of Prof. Morse.

We regret to record the probable death of
Prof Morse, the inventor of the telegraph.
Born at Charleston, Mass, in 1871, and grad
uated at Yale in 1910, his earlier years of
manhood were devoted to the study and prac-
tice of painting, particularly portrait paint.
ing, for which art Mr.. Morse had a great love
and talent. He was however, only moderate
ly successful, and was destined to perform
far greater work in an entirely different
sphere of action. While in college his atten-
teniion had been carefully directed to chem
istry and other branches Of natural philos0-
ply; and in 1885, after long and patient
cogtation, he worked out the problem of the
telegraph and completed his first machine.
The difficulties which he met in, endeavoring
to obtain adequate recognition from the diff
ferent Governments need not be recapitula-
ted. At last when ell hope was abandoned,
Congress allotted him $50, 900 on March 4th.
1913, sat the midnight hour of the expiring
session." In 1874 he had constructed the
line between Washington and Baltimore, and
sent over its wires the first message, "What
had God wrought" The effect, as shown in
the revulsion of popular feeling on the sub
ject, was magical, and Mr.. Morse became At
once the lion of the day. Since that time he
has received honors and emoluments tnnu-
merable, both at home and abroad, and has
been permitted to live in the enjoyment Of
fame and prosperity far beyond the allotted
limit of life.

Hartford, Ct, /. The election in the State
to-day has been one of great struggle, and
has ended in rousing Republican victory.
There were four candidates in the field

hour, and the Democrats rolled in a bounc-

steady at work, and have achieved a victory
of which they may justly be proud. The grand
old State Of Connecticut has linked with New
Hampshire and sends her voice through the
country as the second great gun of the Presi

Connecticut. The total vote as far as re-
ceived is as follows: Jewell, 44,736; Hub

Wool Shops and Tanneries at L0uden Hill.

Hallowell has always taken the lead in pull
ing wool, and in fact it has been noted for
the amount of wool shipped to Boston. Since
| those old dealers in wool have passed away,
and sheep husbandry in Kennebec county
having declined, Hallowell has lost its prom
inence somewhat in the wool trade, and Pc
nobscot has done the most in the business.
We will, however, take things as we find them
to day, and endeavor to stick to the subject
| under consideration.
1t would be pleasant if we could take a
| look at the large woolshop on the Vaughan
Stream-an old landmark-but the floods car
| ried it away last spring, with its unfortunate
| owner. Not timber was left to mark the
spot where stood the largest woolshop in the
city. Still further down we will proceed to
the shcr occupied by E. T. Norton, a veteran
in the business of pulling, who has been at
his post for thirty years or more, having
pulled for the old buyers who have passed
from the active business Of life. Mr.. Norton
has pulled during the fall and winter, some
twenty thousand native skins for Sawtelle of
Halloweil and Gould and Mulliken, Of Au'
gusta, and is now pulling South American
skins for Hallowell parties. At short dis
lance from this-on the Eastman Stream
Henry Horn has erected during the past sea-
son, substantial building three stories in
height at cost of $4,000, to be used as a
woolshop and tannery. 1t has many of the
modern improvements for Sweating" the
skins, and will take the place of the shop de-
| stroyed last spring. He has already pulled
| some four thousand skins for S. c. White
house of Augusta. Mr.. Horn is now at work
on foreign skins. A little lower down the
| stream is the Atkins tannery, now owned by
Mr.. George Clark, whose entire business is
tanning sheepskins in bark for Boston parties.
About one hundred cords of bark are used
during the year, Mt a cost of about eight dol
lars per cord. The oldest and best known
tannery for tanning sheepskins, is owned and
run by Eben Horn, Esq, the oldest tanner
and wool dealer in this city. He takes the
skins as soon as the wool is removed from
them, and tans them in sumach, an article of
commerce imported from Sicily, at a cost of
one hundred and twenty dollars per ton. This
stock when finished is white, and goes by the
name of "whte Innings" This stock finds a
ready market at all the shoe manufactures in
the country; some five thousand dollars worth
of sumach is used in this tannery every year.
Mr. Horn employs five or six hands con-
stantly. Henry Horn is just commencing
in his new shop, and the coming season will
be able to do large business. He will also
tan with sumach. These four establishments
employ about twenty-five hands, and pay
| them monthly about $1,000. These are among
| the live interests of Hallowell.
