The proportions which the sewing machine
business has reached, are truly wonderful.
Co., informs us that the number of machines
standing on their books as actually sold dur
ing the six weeks from Jan. LIST to Feb. 10th,
was Ill, for the round sum of $4,000. Messrs.
Fuller, Conner & Co., have been long in the
business and are deservedly popular in the
western half of the State. They have two
Offices, one in Lewiston, the other in Augusta,
and command slowly but steadily increasing
trade. The machine which they represent,
the Singer, if we may judge anything from
numbers, finds far the most favor among the
people, as their sales reach an aggregate far
ahead Of any other machine.

that Lyceum was organized in that village
some two months since with the election Of

citation is composed of the principal men in

orally, both old and young. Mr.. George
Wilkins, the agent of the Manufacturing Com
pany, is as much interested in the debates as
he is in the manufacture of cloth. A. p.
Thompson, Esq, the young lawyer of the
village, DR.. Perkins, Albert Lassell, II. G.
Abbott, Esq, and many others are equally
interested in the discussions; but the beauty
of the thing is, that it calls in on Saturday

working change for the better in the morals
of the community. The streets are free from
noise and confusion, and all is quiet and or
derby. The drinking saloons are closed up,
and it is very seldom a person is seen on the
streets the worse for liquor.
