A post norton examination was made by
DR.. Greene of the remains of the late Mr..
Rogers OF TOpsham, and the case was found
| to be precisely as DR.. Greene had described
cancer on the intestines: the state of the in
| ternal organs was such as to render II almost
| a miracle that Mr.. Rogers lived so long. He
| suffered intensely, and was very much enact
! ated at the time Of his death.

suddenly stopped, cried for help, and began

rade sank to rise no more before aid could

The new wire manufacturing establishment
of Messrs. Stickney, Page & Co., ON the
Vaughan stream, is now receiving requisite
machinery for the commencement of opera
tions at an early day. The dam at the seas
cade" which furnishes forty feet water head
for this establishment has been completed in
a most thorough manner, and the buildings,
machinery, &C., are all of first class, admira-
bly, adapted to the successful prosecution of
the business inaugurated. Next below, on
the same stream, is the plaster mill, followed
by the grist mill and whiting works. all oper
ated by the same firm. Messrs. McClench
& Co.'s eagle Iron Works" follow next in
orders and the extensive machine shops, iron
foundry, &C., of Messrs. ii. Fuller & Sons,
on the east side of Water street, where the
stream unites with the Kennebec river, give
finishing utilizing finale to this classical and
somewhat coquetish waterfall. At another
time we will give a detailed estimate of the
amount of business at present transacted on
this stream; and it will be found that no in
considerable credit for our business prosperi
ty is due to the various enterprises already
developed in this locality. There are many
other eligible sites for machinery on this
stream, which furnishes fall from the reser
volr dam to the river, distance of less than
halt mile, of one hundred and eighty eight
feet.
Our Chelsea neghbors complain most bit

and efficient remedy for the delays at present
so savagely commented upon. 1t would be
gratifying to kaow that our river would once
more be spanned by a permanent bridge,
which would not only be benefit and con-
venience to this locality, but also to the coun.
ty and State.

sustain this enterprise and thus make it per-
| manent.

board. A moment later, and after the lines
were all cast of and the boat had commence
ed TO meye, another man was discovered
making for the steamer. She was promptly
backed to the wharf and the passenger taken
on board, thus making him feel happy, but
warm. Yesterday, as the II o'clock train
for Boston had been ordered to move for
ward, a gentleman came to the conductor
and told HIM that his baggage was at the end
of the depot, but that he could not get it to
the baggage car, as the depot master would
not check il until certain time before the
train started, and that after he had brought
the baggage to the depot he had occasion to
make another call and had just returned.
The conductor ordered his duds put on
board. The conductors name is West. He
and Capt. Collins of the Star we heartily
commend to the travelling public.
