WE wonder if any of the good people of this
ton concerning a man by the name of Lane,
who came to this village last fall to give les:
sons in music? He hailed from Portland, and
after collecting pay in advance and giving a
few lessons, failed to put in an appearance
When written to upon the subject last spring,
he was coming" but has never come; and it
is feared that some evil hath befallen him.
Several parties here would like to have him see

DEATH OF A PRIvATEERsMAN OF THE WAR
OF 1812.-Capt. Dummer Lord of Kennebunk-
port, an old shipmaster and privateersman in
the war of 1872, and prisoner at Dartmoor,
died few days since. A few weeks
since we recorded the death in Ken
nebunkport of Capt. Benjamin Perkins,
one Of the survivors of the celebrated sports
mouth Packet" privateer in the same war.
The Portsmouth Packet was originally an
English cruiser, and was captured and taken
into Portsmouth by our privateer the
Thomas and there fitted and sailed in com.
mand of Capt John Perkins of Kennebun!k-
port (only few years since deceased in Bidde.
ford). The Portsmouth Packets success was
quite limited, as she was soon recaptured by
the British, and the crew taken to Halifax
and. subsequently to a Chatham lEngland)
prison. But one survivor of this crew of pris-
oners is now supposed to be lving-Capt.
Oliver Bourne. for many years trader, and
postmaster of Kennebunkport, and who at his
advanced age, wonderfully retains both mea-
tai and physical rigor, walking with the step of
q youth and able last season to skate in COM
pany with boys in their teens.

Business Notes.


The sleigh business is unusually lively this sea-
son. About twice as many sleighs as were sold
last season have been sold by c. P. Kimball
this season. A large trade has been built I'D
with Ohio and Michigan.
The employees of the Maine Central Railroad,
at the works of the company at Augusta, are
now working on short time-nne hours per
day.
The shpbuilders at Waldoboro do not ap-
any cry of dull business. Three new keels
have been Laid within ten days, and there is
prospect of more being stretched in early
spring.
The saw mill at Canaan is progressing finely,
and will soon be ready for operations. The
machinery is in position, and the other work Is
about completed.
Last year the domestic exports of Calais
comprised 81, 100000 feet of long lumber, 6S,-
100000 laths and IS, 100000 shingles, besides
large quantity of plaster, etc. The foreign ex.
ports comprised 100000 feet of long lumber
and S,1A tons of rock plaster. There were L.
027 arrivals and 1,O04 clearanoes during the 200
days that the river was open, and fourteen new
vessels were built
r. G. Green & Co, of Hiram, are running
their clothing manufactory on full time. This
speaks well for their productions, as nearly all
similar establishments are short of orders,
owing to the dullness prevailing in the cloth
ing business.
Messrs. Hubbard c. Hall and Eben Babcock,
of Lincoln, are about to commence numbering
in r,i
take with them eighteen men, and will en-
ploy thirty-fve men and twelve teams. They
go to North Stratford, aud thence into the
woods
Messrs W. HI. Reed & Bryant are Just start
ing lime quarry at North:Deer Isle, q short
distance westward from the marble quarry.
They are erecting an extensive wharf, sheds,
etc., and have just completed the furnace and
other necessary preparations for burning the
rock. The rock and lime are said to be of an
excellent quality. The Portland Packing
Company have been running their lobster fac
tory at Oceanville since the middle of October
to its full capacity.
The new cotton mill at Watervile, is now
well advanced, the outside being all closed in.
The roofs are all timed except portion of the
ell, and the cornices are all up. The wood
work is being done in the most thorough man
ner- and Is pronounced fine piece of mill
work. An important feature in this mill is a
new provision of escape from the building
should it take fire. The staircases, one in each
end of the mill, are walled up with brick from
bottom to top Of the mill, while fire escape
will be midway the outside. This will afford
ample provision for the removal of every oper-
ative should fire take place in any part of
the building. Another staircase of like char.
acter is arranged in the ell

.Rcsolred, As the sense of this meet
ing, that we approve the action of the
Governor of the State in offering a
large and suitable reward for the
apprehension and conviction of these
offenders which, as we trust, will make
sure their arrest and trial upon the most
full and truthful testimony in the case.
ResolUed. AS the sense of this meeting,
that the Governor of the State should
employ able counsel to repair to the
county of Gibson, and whose duty it shall
be to aid and assist the attorney general
of that circuit in the preparation of the
causes, in securing the testimony, and
in the prosecution of these high criminals
in all the courts, until they shall be con-
vlcted and punished.
Resolved. That we stand ready to aid
the good-people of Gibson county in
every proper and lawful effort to secure
the punishment of these criminals, and
we recommend and trust that the police
authorities of this city will use the most
skillful and active efforts to bring about
this result.
Resolred. That we have read the ac-
counts of these horrible crimes with the
most intense pain and regret, and that it
is the sense of this meeting that they
were perpetrated without the least color
or excuse
Rssolred As the sense of this meeting,
that We fear very much that the colored
people of Gibson county, in the late
troubles in that county, were melted by
the counsels of bad men for political
effect, and that we feel no hesitation in
denouncing all such counsels as stir up
strife and trouble, come from what quar-
ter they may.
