Communicated
The Late Fire,

EDITOR SENTINEL:-Having noticed
in your issue of yesterday morning a
comunic alton entitled "Carbolized
Hose,"I am constrained to make a
few remarks. not with any desire
however to gain newspaper notoriety,
nor to be drawn into a CONTROVERSY;
but simply to give credit to whom
credit is due. Although your cores
pendent heads his item Carbolized
Hose, the main jist of his remarx as is
to give to the Hose Company the sole
credit of eNtinguishiug the late fire so
quickly. While l am willing to ac-
cord to hem all due praise | claim for
he Hooks fully as much for the gra-
tifyilg result on this occasion. You
may take for instance in larger cities
when fire occur i'm hay, the
a well regulated fire company will
take to cXtinguish it is to direct
water on wood work while the hav
must Ill he rolled away before the

sion. 1t was not until the Hooks had
tumhled every bale of hay, working
under Il continual stream II the hands
Of some one OH top of a shed, that the
Hose could get at the fire to eXtin-
guish 1t.

Nallomell Aorai Nfms.

Rev. Mr.. Gilbert, agent for the American
Bible Society, preached in the Baptist church
in Hallowcll on Sunday forenoon last, and in
the Methodist church the same evening,
where ulion services were held. His ac-
count OF tie work accomI 01hcd by this vet
eran society for the past fifty years was very
interesting and instructive. During this
time the Bible had been translated and print
ed in most of the languages on the globe.and
the Society is now engaged in translating the
Word into the japanese dialect, 10 meet
pressing demand in that direction. The Chi
nese already have the Bible in their own Ian
guage; and the influence of It's teachings is
everywhere manifest in breaking down the
false religions and superstitions Of the nation
and people. In Italy the Introduction Of the
Bible has been attended with results most
encouraging to Christian civilization: AMI the
same may be said of Turkey, France and
other Mohammedan, Catholic and Heather
nations. The true spirit OF freedom and ma
tional progress can only4be developed where
the Word of God is untramelled and in the
hands of the common people; and no repub-
lie can long exist where religious liberation,
universal education and Christian philanthro-
Ply are subservient to the will of despotc
power.
The cold weather the present winter has
created an unusual demand for fuel, and the
result has been corresponding increase in
the price of coal in all parts of the country
from one to two dollars per ton. With the
depletion of our forests the trade in coal year
by year increases, until wherever railroads or
water communication can be made available,
the country is annually supplied with this
necessary article of combustion. An IN in
dication of the magnitude Of the coal trade
in this vicinity, we would state that Messrs.
Leigh ( Wingate of Hallowell will sell the
present winter upwards of four thousand tons
and it is reasonable to suppose our sister
| cities carry on a trade of similar proportions.
This statement does not include the large
quantities used by the cotton and oil cloth
factories in our city; but only the amount
confined principally to the retail trade.
The 'IIallowel Benevolent Society," an
old and honorable institution, is doing good
work in relieving the wants of the poor in
orr community, and is deserving of encour-
| agement from all our citizens. We learn
| that the whole souled ladies OF this society
have recently sent a quantity of bedding,
clothing, ETC., to the Swedish settlement in
Aroostook county, it having been aseertained
that many poor families just arrived from the
old country were in destitute circumstances.
Thus it will be seen that although the chart
ties of this society begin at home they do not
| end there.

In the court af over and terminer this after

In the court at oyer and terminer this after
noon the counsel for Stokes presented affida-
Wits in support of the bill of exceptions. The
affidavits state substantially that during the
trial one juror went to the Grand Central
hotel and possessed himself of information
which did not come up during the trial. Also
that another juror went to pistol store to
get information on some point which was not
clear to him. Further that during the trial
the prisoner once left the room without the
knowledge of the counsel and was absent
some minutes while the testimony was being
taken. That once during the summing up by
the prosecution Judge Boardman left the
court room and was absent some time. Also
that some of the jurors can be proved to have
been mbued with hostile feeling toward the
prisoner. Judge Davis made an order re-
turnable on next Friday morning.

A correspondent of the Waterville Mail
says that the Dexter Mills, owned by Boston
| capitalists, constitute the chief manufacturing
! establishment of the village. There are three
in number, working in all twents sets of ma
chinery. In the two larger mills both steam
and water power are employed. The amount
of capital used in working the mills is $780,
600. They turn out about $3.50, 0o0 worth of
goods annually. Three hundred and fifty
hands are employed whose capital amounts to
| IS, 800 per month. The wooden mills of Amos
Abbott & Co., have been running thirty years
They employ capital of $4,000 and pay
ont $1,000 monthly for labor Their annual
product is estimated at $4,000. The goods
from these mills are mostly disposed of in
the vicinity at home. The Sole Leather Fac
tory of Hon. Charles Shaw, located in Dex-
ter, is one of the largest establishments cf
the kind in Maine. 1t uses twenty-five hun
dreds chords Of bark annually, employs thirty
hands at cost of 1900 per month, and
turns out per year two hundred and fifty tons
of leather. Besides the above, there are sew
