Rallomell l0caI Nems.

We have several times referred to the ex-
tensive building operations of the IIallovell
Granite Company in the vicinity of the quar-.
ries +; but were not aware that 30 permanent and
even elegant structures had been erected I'M
til recent visit to the locality. One large
boarding house, three stories high, with ell,
barn, ETC., together with t~o double tenement
last September, besides some coo feet of shed
for use in cutting and finishing stone, and
several blacksmith shops and other smaller
buildings for offices, &c. The above, with
extensive repairs and engagements of old
buildings, constitute village of no mean ap-
pearance and evince an amount Of labor and
perseverance under the difficulties attending
the prosecution Of such work during the most
Indictment season of the year, truly wonderful
to those who do not understand the art of
pushing things to a successful issue. In
the finish of the houses, the walls and ell
ings are of matched boards, some three or
four inches wide, neatly stained to resembl e
hard pine, presenting neat and permanen +
much warmer, and less liable to injury or de.
cay. This course was rendered necessary on
account of the difficulties attending plastering
in freezing weather. The houses are furnish
ed with spacious cellars and cisterns, togeth.
er with facilities for heating and ventilatins
in the most improved manner. The Com
pany are now prepared to enlarge their oper-
atoms in quarrying and finishing the immense
blocks of granite to be used in the construc-
ton of the New York State Capitol building,
the Soldiers monument to be erected on Bos-
ton Common, and to fill numerous other con-
tracts already on hand. When in full opera
ton the pay roll of the company will be about
thirty thousand dollars per month. The over
sight and engineering of this immense busi-
ness requires nerve, brain and muscle of no
ordinary capacity; and it is gratifying to
know that the business is conducted by men
eminently adapted to meet Every emergency
and conquer success.
Arrangements have been made by the cler-
gymen of Hallawell to hold Sabbath afternoon
religious services at the large boarding house
at the quarres. Rev. Mr.. McCully of the
Congregational church oficiated yesterday.
Saturday brought out the summer hats. and
rendered overcoats and mittens burdens too
heavy to be borne. They will be in requisi-
ton again, however, before Spring fairly sets
in.
fyour types had said Gan Honorable" in
stead of Hallowell member who simplided an

sgraph in your Saturdays issue would have

ably did write, though perhaps my chiro-
graphy may not always 'oe of the elegant sort.

Mr.. Griffin, in his "History of the Press of
Name" says that about the year 1920 there
were ten stores in Brunswick, in all of which
the usual variety Of ardent spirits was kept
for sale. "Even respectable women, who
came to market, claimed their right to take
social glass around the hogshead, turned up
for table in tho retailers store" Many a
Brunswick "boy," who has strayed away
from the good old town, can testify to the
truth of that statement. But Brunswick was
not worse than other towns in those clark
days"

when cripples take up their beds and walk
when rheumatism is banished--stiff joints

A STABLE INsTITUTIoN-Just at the
period when all stable men were complain
ing that the horse ointments of the day
were unstable remedies, the Mustang Lin
iment made its entree in Missouri, without
any flourish of trumpets, and within one
year became the favorite embrocation for
the external distempers and injuries of
horses and cattle in all the western and
southern states. From that time to this, it
has never had a rival in the estimation of
accomplished horsemen nor is its house
hold reputation as cure for rheumatism,
neuralgia, sore nipples and caked breasts,
tumors, mumps, sore throat, carache,
toothache, bruises, burns, wounds and
sprains, whit behind its celebrity as a
horse liniment. The mothers of America
know its value, and apply it promptly to
the external injuries Of the rising genera
sion, and in fact there is not a city or
township in the United States where the
Mustang Liniment is not regarded by both
sexes and every class, as blessing to the
community
