Falls Village.

The wedding of Milo B. Richardson and Miss Nellie c. Miner on the 23d ut was a notable occasion. The Rev. W. A. John son of Salisbery was in attendance. Con- sidering the eminence of the guests, and the hospitality rendered them, any thing else but pleasant, social time could hardly be expected. The bride was the recipient of many valuable gifts.
 'sMany hearts beat happily
 Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again. And all went merry as marriage bell"
 Mount Prospect was visited Wednes- day by delegation of the youth and beauty of our quiet village. They were conveyed by teams to the base of the prominent peak. and after arrangements were made for transporting to it's summit the bountiful supply of viands, prepared by the fair ones, the ascent was made on foot. We hear no report of the party af- ter this, except through an unofficial source which would have made the affair complete success, had there been a, poem read, entitled, ''Dining at the Bars. :"

 WooDBURY, June 3, 1872.
 MR EDITOR Our soldiers decoration seems to have been failure this year There were some pretty lines written to be sung and word was partially circulated that those who wished to share in the cer- emoaies should meet at the monument But so far as I can learn there was no regular gathering. The rain of the 3Oth and the consequent delay till the 31st might have caused misunderstanding The flowers were to have been strewn around the monument, instead of on the graves: This will do for one year, as a change; but each mound should be visit ed. It is to be hoped that next time the whole town may have a share in remem- beriDg our brave ones thus And to keep their memory blooming as it ought in the heart of our country, the yonng should be given place in the beautiful pageant !! As to procession, those who cannot walk could surely ride to the graves; but for my part when think of the long and wa " marches the soldiers took thus saving to the women of the land, their homes, I am willing to walk along side of fthem now to the graves of their comrades and bright en them for one brief day with gay blos- soms would rather 20 with them even if they do the decorating. This too is pretty for change if the men wish to do it, but let us all have share some years ! The good Templars lodge have nearly paid fora nice organ, and what is better they are getting up remonstrance against rum selling, designed to be sent to all l who deal in it. Who knows what moral suasion may do? It is best try that first; though it seems bit ludicrous when we think that they are all selling in face of the law; and that what is wanting, is mo ral courage to enforce it. Personal inter- est is also against the law in some minds; either in the form of the purse, or the stomach, or, perhaps, from mere apathy. The lodge has debate this week on the question, (Which has most influence in the cause of total abstinence, man or wo- man?'

Last season between three and four hun

iirst ofthis week. The machine is small. but
cost 81 1000, and does the work of nfty men.
Two men only are required to work il. al
AN expense of but ten dollars per day.
This machiue l. 4 comparatively new
invention. and quite different from the
channeling machines heretofore used
Instead OF cutting out the marble BY steel
drills, it is bored out by diamond drills
The end OF the drill is oval. having eleven
on twelve black diamonds inserted in il.
and the boring is done by the rapid reyo-
luton Of the drill. A stream Of cold water
Is forced through the drill keeping it cool,
and clearing away all the marble dust made
in drilling.
The machine is placed on a railroad
track about four feet wide. and holes an
inch and half in diameter, are sunk from
four to seven feet deep in an incredible
short space of time. While We were pres
ent, they were drilling six and half feet
deep, and it required less than ten min
utes to sink two drills to that depth through
tb e solid marble. The drill can be driven
at any required angle or horizontally. and
by this means block of marble can be
entirely cut from the quarry. The inventor
OF the machine. Mr.. Ball. is now here and
will remain few days to superintend its
operation.
The company will have steam mill in
operation early in September to saw the
blocks in.O slabs. tiles, hearths. &c. This
will be great saving in the matter of
freight.
The quality Of the marble improves as

The Portland Press.

The Press has always been personal
organ of somebody. 1t rarely discusses
principles or aims to enlighten its readers.
1t has no patience with those who do their
own thinking and their own voting. and
never uses its columns to disseminate
sound political views. nor freedom of
thought and opinion when these initiate
against its owners. At least, we have
never known it to devlate from the course
of being a personal, rather than truly
freedom loving organ.
1t has also been a meddlesome sheet all
the while. 1t seeks to regulate the local
politics of the several congressional dis

Consul Butler.

We have about concluded to give nm

diplomatic service In Egypt. and a gentle
man appointed Ia his place. We would
not give up our laudable libors if we had
any hope that he might, AFTER dismissal,
enlist in the khedive's army or 90 into
profitable Abyssinlan slave trade; but il
begins to Cypress Us that he may return
10 this country. and then what a muck he
will run, \ missionary wrote Us a letter
detailing something Of his scandalous con-
duct. and we publish IL. suppressing only
the name of ii well known sportin. char
2cter. with whom he made scandalous
ascent OF the Nile. On hearing of IL, our
Consul General made an assault W ith a.
cowhide on our Presbyterian friend who
having been a soldier before he was a mis-
,onary. was able ~ defend himself with
considerable success. And now having
got into quarrel with some American
officers in the khedive's army. we find the
Consul engaged in a disgraceful afiray. in
which lie seems 10 have shot one of them.
They Indignantly deny that they were the
aagressor. Now. il this /. the way he acts
when he has the dignity OF the United
States 10 support. what will he do when he
has not even his own dignity to consider:
Every newspaper in the country has pub
lished the charges against him. made on
indisputable authority. and he Will have a
thousand grudges &c satisfy with cowhide
or bullet. And now what is the result OF
General Starring's investigation: What
will our Government do about it? Disre-
garding all private apprehensions, we de-
mand that man who by brides md brawls
has SO disgraced the country he represents
be Instantly and ANONYMOUSLY removed.
We demand 1t as patriots. who have our
country's honor near at heart; we demand
