A dispatch in the Journal of yesterday,
from Waterville, in relation to the town meet
ing holden on the day previous, is unfair and
deceptive in every respect. The whole truth
is not told.
In the warrant, now before us, calling the
meeting alluded to, it was specified that the
vote on division of the town, should be by
ballot, and also, that the check list should be
used. The meeting was called for nine
o'clock, A. M, and at the East Village, where
all, or nearly all of those who favor division
reside. 1t was supposed, of course, that the
polls would be open all day, as is usual when
the check list is used. Previous to the hour
of meeting, printed circular or hand bill was
distributed in the East village, instructing all
in favor of q division to be in the town hall at
nine o'clock precisely" These instructions
were obeyed to the letter, and the meeting
was organized before the arrival of but few
voters, except those resident in the East vii.

An Eees.cellent Enterprise.

Mr.. John Ryon of this city is to build the
ensuing spring at his place on Cushnoc
heights hen house of huge dimensions, that
will enable him to engage extensively in the
raising of poultry and producing eggs for
market. The building is to be 100 by 20 feet,
and three stories high. twill be lighted by
twenty flour windows, and heated BY steam,
and made 80 comfortable that it will be only
pleasure for the biddies to do their best in
producing eggs. Extra windows will be put
on the outside in the winter season. Mr..
Ryon intends to train the hens so that they
shall use the lower story for a roosting place,
the second for feeding room, and the fourth
for their nests. 1t will be necessary for him
to have very tractible and obed;ent hens. A
small boiler has been purchased to furnish
the steam, and the piping will run through
the second story. The entire exterior of the
building will be shingled. The building will
be divided into different bins or rooms, each
place adapted to about 200 hens; so that there
will be no family jars or jealousies. A yard
enclosing one and half acres will connect
laths have been purchased for the construc-
ton of the yard fence. Mr.. Ryon intends to
keep 1000 hens of various kinds, and will do
his part towards supplying the home market.
