10 the EGttOf OF the freSS. a.s I'd. f.v
During the early part of the Winter some of
leading citizens concluded that self interest,
as well as public interest, demanded that Cor
ham should more actively engage in different
forms of manufacturing. Accordingly about
five weeks since public meeting was called.
After an evening spent in discussion,
it was the unanimous sense of the meeting
that our business zeal much exceede our
knowledge;so we appointed committee of our
principal citizens to take the matter under
consideration. They at once sent committee to
Massachusetts, to visit the Manufacturing Com
munities, and invite proposals from business
men to settle among us.
Monday night we met at the Methodist
Church to hear the report of this COM mmittee.
Dr. Chas. Hinkley of Boston, one of our Cor
ham boys, favored us with some capital music
upon the organ.
Mr.. Roscoe Harding, Chairman of the sub COM
mittee reported that the committee had spent
about three weeks in and about Boston examin-
ing different manufactures, and interviewing
business men, and that the Glass, Brick, Sleigh
and Shoe interests together with other kinds
of manufacturing were ready to settle among
us provided we offered sufficient inducements.
The committee did not lay proposals before
the meeting, as the parties making them are
coming down soon to examine our manufact-
urng facilities.
The committee also reported that by the CO.
opera ion of our capitalists, the productive ca
pacty of our different home Industries might
be largely increased. ar i "a e.l
Among these industries are the Tannery of
Hinkley Brothers & Benson, employing more
than fifty men, and manufacturing all kinds of
leather. The Coat manufactures of Messrs.
Bolton, Harding Parkhurst aud Roberts, en-
ploying in the aggregate more than thousand
people. The Machine Shop of Cannon &
Sons, who are overrln with orders. The Corn
packing establishment of the Portland Pack
ing Co., whose payments to our farmers alone
last year were more than $4,000, and the Car
pet Factory of Marshall Irish. Esq, who, if
encouraged, will make large additions to his
factory besides erecting an expensive laundry.
A spirited discussion followed the report of
the committee in which Judge Waterman, Col.
Robie, Capt Emery, Stephen Hinkley and
others participated. The uLaniEious sentiment
was that Gorham would offer any reasonable
encouragement to manufacturing enterprises
both by private subscriptions and by exemp--
ton from taxation; that we want practical
business men, not educated theorists; and that
we will cooperate with such parties and not ask
them to cooperate with us in carrying on bus
mess with whose details we are unacquainted.
After instructIng the committee to continue
their negotiations with different parties, and to
call meeting soon to hear definite proposals,
the meeting adjourned. .Cf sa7aafE

The Steamer Falmouth.

The elegant and commodious steamer Fal-
mouth signalized her first appearance for the
season by little excursion down the harbor
yesterday afternoon, prior to her departure for
Halifax. The weather was perfect, and the
fresh, bracing air, bright sun and smooth wa
ter were the more heartily appreciated on ac-
count OF the conspicuous absence of these nat
ural luxuries through the dreary winter and
spring months from which we have just escap-
ed. On the spacious decks and in the luxun-
GUS cabins were gathered genial, hearty COM
pany of gentlemen, bent upon the most COM
plete enjoyment of their delightful surround
ings. The trip was a short one, occupying but
little over an hour and SO fully was the time
occupied by merry conversation, ringing songs
and all the other accompaniments which natu-
rally appertan to an excursion of the kind that
it seemed even shorter.
The Falmouth emerges from her winters re-
tirement with several important improvements
in her machinery, the better to adapt her for
the peculiarities of the Halifax route, and NAV
be safely prom ounced to be as perfect boat for
the purpose for which she is designed as has
ever been made Her freight accommodations
have also been enlarged, increasing her carry
ing capacity two hundred barrels-of -four.
The Falmouth is specially attractive to pas
sengers, her rich equipments, clean, airy rooms,
good kitchen, and spacious and convenient ac-
commodations of all kinds being well supple
mented by the courtesy and attentiveness OF
her officers who are gentlemen as well as thor
ough seamen. The general management OF the
line merits high commendation, and tourists
may be assured of safe, agreeable and rapid
conveyance by this route.
We append a brief description of that part
of the interior of this fine vessel devoted to
passengers, from the Nautical Gazette: aa l.
On the main deck, on either side of the gang
way as you enter, and on the guards, is the
stewards room and a fine wash-room and bar
ber shop. Facing aft, and on the port side of
the boat, is the clerk Office while on the other
side is large state-room. The ladies' saloon
is capacious, handsomely upholstered and fur
nished, and contains 36 sleeping berths. The
best of hair mattresses aud pillows give promise
of good bed. In the lower cabin there are Is
berths. This apartment is large and exceed
ingly well ventilated, and is more than usually
comfortable. On the hurricane deck are 81
hrst class state rooms, each containing two
sleeping berths, the lower one being of double
width. These rooms are large, airy and very
tastefully fitted up in black walnut trimmings,
and are provided with the modern luxuries to
be found on the steamers of the present day.
The grand saloon is decorated in choice shades
of pearl, pink, brown and green, relieved by
gilt holdings and pillar caps, making fine
effect. The forward end of the saloon is set
apart as dining hall, where meals are served
on the European plan, the tables being sup
