SroNEHAM-!Snaat Enterprise Village in the
Woods.-We have before referred to the clearing
away of the forest to set new mill, and erect
houses for an enterprise in Stoneham. Opera
tions were commenced on the first of last Au-
gust, by Mr.. George E. Paul, from Dexter, n
H, and Mr.. Ryder, agent. They had to make
a road through the forest to the place selected
for their mill and spool factory, and cut and
clear up an opening They have erected and
are now operating factory 100 feet by rs, and
have an engine 100 horse power in an engine
house 20 by 90. They manufacture thread and
silk spools, bobbins, slaves, pals, tubs handles
and the stock for the same. They have one of
Lane board machines, and saw some deal for
the New York trade. Wellington's machine,
which they tried, does not suit as well as Lanes
They have orders from the Portland COMPANY
for oak dimension stuff for car building, re-
pairing, &C., and from New York and Califor-
MIA. Teams are hauling it daily to Fryeburg
depot whence it goes by the new railroad to its
destination. They have market for all the
spools they make; also for bobbins, having now
contract for two millions. Six houses have
already been erected, are now occupied, while
many of the men live in temporary camps
Twenty-seven men are employed in and about
the factory. They have II yoke of oxen
and "a horse teams hauling timber from the
woods Capital invested, $25,OO0.-[ Ostord

MEXICAN NEws.-The evening papers pub
fish the following intelligence from the country
of revolution:
The Porfrista rebels were defeated in the
State of Vera Cruz. The Government troops
whipped Negrete and other insurgents near
Tutcuncingo. The Porfiristas were repulsed in
an attack on Chalcicomula. 1t is reported that
Porfiria Diaz is now only accompanied by
small escort. Gen. Alterne has pardoned all
the adherents of Porfiria Diaz captured at OAK
AGA. The whereabouts of Felix Diaz is un-
known.
1t is expected that the Vera Cruz railway will
soon reach Orizaba. A battle is expected be-
tween the forces under Gems. Weir and Guenop.
Gen. Rocha has arrived at Oriza. Gen. Quad
arma died recently at Guadalajara. ..
The State of Hidalgo is declared in state of
seige.
A Puebla train was recently attacked by
highwaymen, who robbed the passengers and
stripped them of their clothing. The robbers
kidnapped six passengers and maltreated the
others.
Juarez has ordered the purchase of two rev.
enue steamers to prevent the smuggling of sill
yer on the Pacific coast. tf'u 81
The revolution in Jalisco was unsuccessful
There were 700 deaths from small pox in the
city of Mexico during January. Romero is sick.
Heavy quantities of material for railroad
have arrived at Vera Cruz, and the impression
now is that the road will be finished in eighteen
months. The Government is impeded in the
work by the drafting of numbers of laborers
into the army. 7-5-
SUPERSTITION of the worst type is still cher

that has just taken place in Arkansas illus
trates the power which belief as old and as

negro of Little Rock, named Francis deliber-
ately shot and killed another man IF the same
race named Vaughan, for, as the murderer al

was a regular 'sObi-man," in full power; that
he poisoned" his hand so that it was always
cold; that he had charmed" many persons of
both sexes who had the misfortune to offend
him: and that he had shot him for trying to
throw men into spells, and enchanting various
women. 81 don't feel sorry for shooting him.
added Francis, frankly, ''for didn't want him
deviling round any longer, and he ought to
have been killed long ago" On this persua-
sion the man walked quietly up to within five
feet of his victim, and blew his brains out with

WHY WILL YOU BE HUMBUGGED +?

AS certain parties are now travelling
through this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied,
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, [ propose to give you
a few facts in relation to them. In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are common plate pictures enlarged tin
types-for which they charge you from
20 to 60 per cent. more than [ charge
for the same kind of picture, for the
very reason that they are obliged to pay
express both ways, also to pay the ex-
penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your
work done nearer home. My work is
all done in my own shop, finishing and
all, Notwithstanding the Concord agents
statement to the contrary; and you will
find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also, you will find my work just what it
is represented to be. as l shall not palm
off tin-type for an India ink picture.

SECOND DAY.
GOOD ADVICE THROWN AWAY


CINCINNATI, MAY 2d.-The morning
and afternoon sessions of the Cunduran-
60 Convention had no redeeming feature,
except the eloquent speech of Carl Schurz
on taking the chair as permanent Presi-
dent He gave the assembled malcon-
tents good advice, which it is to be hoped
they will profit by, although some of
them must have felt rather mean
when he warned them that they must
not attempt to control and use this move
ment by the old tricks Of political trade,
or fritter away their zeal in small bick-
erings and paltry selfish ASPIRATIONS
Brave words those, but the Convention
had been all day frittering away its time
at the bidding of the free trade agents.
QUARRELING OVER THE TARIFF QUESTION.
These hirelings of the league have to
earn their money by insisting on a
free trade plank in the platform. The
disafected protectionists, who have given
the movement its respectable proportions,
object to this, and the two sides have

the mountains and where it cannot be
got out. There is scarcely a settlement
but that have to draw their wood from
fifteen to thirty miles, and there is but
little good coal in the country. The
most of the buildings are made Of
''adobes, as good brick is out of the
question and timber is too scarce for
wooden buildings
There are plenty of deer in the noun
tains, and grouse, sage, hens and rabbits
in the valley. There are plenty of black
bears on the hills and few elk The
lakes and ponds are filled with wild geese
and ducks through the winter months SO
that there is plenty of sport hunting.
Wages here in the mines are from
three to four dollars a day and board a
dollar a day, though by boarding ones
self you can live we'll for three dollars q
week. The farmers pay from twenty.
five to forty dollars month. 9

Thomas Mast has keen eye to MAX
ing things ridiculous by grotesque re-
semblance, and lately has made a good
deal of fun of Carl Schurz's long legs,
in his Cincinnati illustrations in Harpers'
Weekly. Week before last he had him
pictured out with legs which appeared
to be ten feet long, all tied up with
bandages to support and strengthen
them. Schurz don't like the looks of these
pictures bit, and it makes him feel ner-
vous every time he looks at SO much sri
diculosity. He lately met Mast in Wash
ington and threatened to cowhide him if
he didn't stop, but Mast don't seem to
scare easy, and this week and last had
him on stills again, as usual. That's
right, Thomas, be patriotic; 60 on and
shame him back into the ranks again if
you can. Schurz has made his brags
that he carries the German vote in his
pocket. If that is so why didn't he
pocket Mast on the spot, while he had a
chance. Mast is German.

horse which was stolen from his stable

straightway home, and by his vehement
action induced the owner to follow him

an eve on the 18th amendment, and Miss

Dolly Vardens and pretty faces, to assert
and claim their rights; and the clamor-
ing and JaDDer1ng, each one for his
choice is such that it is hard telling
which will conquer in the end. There
is great want of harmony in the actions
of the discontents, and their future
nlans are as various az the individuals
who cherish them. 1--WE are bound to
annihilate the republican party" is the
language of one of their leaders. Then,
if that is their motto, let the loyal mil
lions rally around the hero of Donelson,
