Standish, Gorham and Windham inaugurated
new departure in stock exhibitions this year,
and held union cattle show and fair at Little
Falls, Windham. The show Of stock was un-
usually good, the draught oxen being partcu-

magnificent proportions. Thirty-five yokes of
cattle were on the ground. The display of
fruit was, considering the bad season something
wonderful. In dairy products the show was
good, and it also was in poultry. The hall
was well filled with fancy articles. etc.

EASTERN RAILRoAD.-The extra 'ventilator'
train arrived at 23O p. m. yesterday with sew
eral prominent railroad gentlemen on board
and Judge S. G.. Maine of Boston, the invent
or. The most important feature of the venti-
lator is, first, the sitting of the air through an
exceedingly fine wire gauge, and secondly, the
direction of the current as it enters the car at
the base of each window, directly up, so as not
to inconvenience the sitter with horizontal
drafts The air can be admitted or excluded
at the pleasure of the occupant of the seat by
the mere turning of button. Vigorous
smoking in the car which was one of the wolst
ventilated on the road, failed to make the air
more than momentarily impure. Caleb Cush-
ing recently remarked to the inventor that if
he could keep the air of cars pure without hav
ing to raise the windows he would confer one
of the greatest boons upon travelling humanity.
Judge Maine claims to be able to do this, and
the trial of yesterday, in the opinion of those
present, bore out the claim. The car, as fitted,
will 60 at once upon The Boston and Bangor
train for thorough testing. The Eastern rail-
road has expended SIS, 500 for each mile of its
road on its equipment already higher figure

for an extension of the piers of the draw of the

Harbor Commissioners decided to allow the up

RIGHT on THE RECORD.-NOw and then
n ruinor reaches the public ear that Some-
body. generally a resident of the rural Gis-
trictS, has been "taken in and done for on
sewing machine, or some other labOr-sa
ing invention. In few instances these dis
honest dOgdgcs have been ugh
the newspapers, one or two cases having re-
Gently been reported, wherein a sewing ma
chine agent is said to have been granted the
privilege of leaving machines at certain
houses until he would call for them, recCiv-
ing IN return what purportcd to be ac-
knowledgement of such fact, duly signed by
the proprictors of such houses, but what
afterward proved to be exemption notes,
payable within a specified time. We say
stories of this kind have been told time and
again, but whether true or false it is not our
purpose now to inquire. We merely wish
to say shat, if true, Mr.. NJ. l.. Brown, of this
place, agent for the renowned and unsur-
passable Singer Sewing Machine, is not the
man WHO did the swindling. He has ma
chine that can and does recommend itself,
and he has come among us to make an hon
est living in an honest way, and would not
resort to any disreputable lodges if a for
tune could be made in the operation. We
know these statements to be facts, and while
we can truthfu!ly say, after an experience
of several years in our own family, that the
Singer machine Is without a superior, we "a 4
just emphatiCally declare that Mr.. Brown is
above and beyond n mean or mercenary act
of any kind. He believes, as we believe
that family should do without sowing
machine, and thus believing he offers. on the
most liberal terms, a machine that never has
and never will fail to give entire satistac-
ton in every instance, and if the parties
whom he sOlicits do not fit to purchase
that is the end of the transaction. He deals
fairly and Squarely, and deserves to be dealt
with III like manner. Let him be encouraged
