PORTLAND MANUFACTURES.-We took a look
at the extensive warerooms and factories of G,
z. Kmball yesterday. The warerooms are
now full of as fine work as one often sees. We
noticed several new styles, one of which is an
| open buggy of nobby pattern well worth visit
to see. There is hand carriage made for the
son of an old friend of Mr.. Kimball's. who W. s
8 unfortunate as to lose the use of his lower
limbs. He is now in Bowdoin College, where
the carriage was sent yesterday We hope the
pllege boys will not fail to lend him helping
h md in going up hill. On level or descend
ing ground we opine they will have a hard
time to Keep up. We also saw two
carriages boxed for San Jose, California,
AID one ready to box ordered by DIR. N. S.
Jenking, formerly of this city, for Count Fur
s,ensteni, Ullersdorf Prussia. This is the
first shipment Mr.. Klmbal has ever made to
Prussia. His men are now all busly engaged
on sleighs of the various kinds Orders are
now being received from New York and the
West for the finest grade of sleighs. We saw
one nearly finished which is to 60 to Califor-
nis (being the first shipment of sleighs to that
State.) The shoe is made three inches wide
In order to move ON the light soft snow of the
golden State
The very narrow shoes used by all the max
ers on light sleighs have given more or less
trouble in Boston and New York by cutting
through the soft SHOWS. But to make shoe
wide enough to prevent that and thick enough
to be stiff would make the sleigh too heavy.
Mr. Kimbal has now invented and
patented concave shoe that he estimates
fifty times sitter THAN flat shoe. 1t can be
made as thin as desired and then be sufficiently
stiff
He has spent great deal of time in getting
up the new improvements on carriages and
sleighs, and the National Convention of Car
rage Builders rendered him just tribute and
honorable recognition in electing him their first
President Portland takes great pride in all
her manufactures, but in none more than tho
manufacture of carriages and sleighs. We
Wish all our carriage makers the abundant sue
cess they so richly msrit-aud a plenty of snow
the coming winter.
1t may not be out of place to say that the
usual Fall discount is now allowed on car
riages.

FIRE AT DEERING.-About eight o'clock last
evening fire was discovered at Morrilps Corner
in the shed attached to the two and a half story
building owned by o A. Hill and used by him
self for dwelling in the upper part, while the
lower story was occupied for a store by G. H.
Douglass. The fire spread rapidly to the main
building, which was entirely consumed. Mr..
Hill saved his furniture though portion of it
was damaged by removal. The contents of the
store were saved. The buildings were valued
at $4,000 and Insured in the following offices at
the agency of Rollins Loring & Adams: $1,000
in the Franklin and $4,000 in the Philadelphia
Mr.. Hill had $1,000 insurance ON his furniture
in the Franklin at the same agency. Mr.. Dodg-
lass valued his stock at $4,000 and was insured
in the Hartford for S25OO, with David Torrey

caught fire from the sparks, but was extin-
guished with but slight damage. The steamer

SHAw's CoNCERT.-Mr. Shaw can find no
reason for complaint in either the number or
character of his audience last evening. 1t was
a brilliant audience and seemed to fully appre
ciate the good character of the entertainment.
The musicians evidently found inspiration ad
litional to their own capacity, in the enthu
siasm of the audience, for they never executed
better their parts, or pleased better their hear
ers. Mrs. Halves and Miss earle sang with
unusual delicacy of expression and were mich
applauded The Amphions were in good prac-
tice and sang capitally. Chambers Band
played with its usual effectiveness and is really
an organization OF which the city may justly
feel proud. Mr. Morgan was in excellent voice
and is very promising singer. Mrs. Gosse
presided at the piano with her accustomed
power aud skill
Mr.. Shaw may properly be congratulated on
| the success of his third concert. The fourth
| and last concert of the course will occur on
| Monday, Oct, 2. Admission tickets % ce nts.
| Reserved seats 30 cents
| Catholic FAIR.-The Fair TO be holden for
| the benefit of the Catholic Orphan Asylum will
| open on Monday, 9th of October, and will con-
| tinue for ten days. 1t will be held in the Or
phan Asylum on Free street, which is large
building, and in its present state is capable OF
containing quite a crowd Each evening, in
addition to the many attractions of the Fair
| proper there will be entertainments of very
| pleasing character. We understand that many
| ladies of the city take an active part in this
| charitable work; and that, taught by their ex-
| perience in past Fairs, will endeavor to have
their tables as inviting and attractive as posi-
| BILE; in fact, one of fair friends positively
asserts that it will equal if not surpass any
former Fair
The building erected on Free street has cost
several thousand dollars, and to free it from
debt is the object of the coming Fair. We
trust that all who feel for the young and home
less especially among our Catholic fellow citi-
zens will generously aid in this work of mercy.
| A GANG OF BURGLARS BROKEN UP.-For a

The reported failure of the Canadian
Pacific railroad loan in England has caused
no little agitation, even recrimiuation, in
the New Dominion, where it is likely to be
turned to political account The failure Of
the loan is chiefly attributed to an alleged
bargain between Sir Hugh Allan's company
and certain American interests for the 10.
cation OF the eastern section of the road in
a direction south of Lake Superior, iuyolv-
ing the use Of portion of the Northern
Pacific already constructed to or near Fort
Garry, whence the railroad would extend,
as originally intended; but the real causes
of the failure of the loan, as interpreted by
the New York Bulletin, may be traced to
the inherent defects of the whole scheme.
The shrewd English capitalists saw that the
project involved an immense outlay, from
which no returns whatever could be looked
for in the present. and hardly any in the
next generation.

The Prince Edward islanders have de-
cded in most emphatic manner that they
do not wish to hold closer communion with
the Dominion of Canada than they have
hitherto done. Recently the Ministry that
favored confederation was beaten very
soundly at the polls; and the project, for
the present at least, is to be given up.
The Canadian newspapers view this result
in most philosophic manner. 1--WE should
be glad" says one of them, "to see both
that island and Newfoundland part Of our
Dominion; but there is no use in trying
force. II must come spontaneously, or
not at all. If these provinces choose
to cast in their lot with us, good aud well
and if not, good and well also. Absurd
haste aud eagerness TO secure result for
which circumstances are not yet propitious,
only delay the thing desired"
