The committee appointed by the citizens of
GUrham for the purpose Of taking steps to-
ward advancing the business of the place, have
been making very vigorous efforts to accom-
plsh that result. They have consulted several
parties from abroad, and made very liberia
offers, hoping thereby to induce the investment
of capital in various manufacturing enterprises,
but have not as yet succeeded in securing this
desirable result. They have also offered Messrs.
Hinkly Brothers and Benson of Gorham, en-
gagged in the mandatory of leather, $4,000 at
the rate of 6 per cent. interest for term of
years, and to keep the same good, which offer
they have not as yet accepted, but may still do
so. The committee report that the general
business of the place has largely increased the
past season, owing in part to increased accom-
modations furnished by the Portland & Roch
ester Railroad At the request of the commit
tee, the gentlemanly and efficient Superinten-
dent, w. H. Turner. esq.,, has placed special
train upon the road from Portland to Gorbam,
which runs at suitable hours to accommodate
the business of the place. The committee are
Of the opinion that parties from abroad may
yet be induced to establish large business enter
prises in Gorham, and that at no very distapt
period, the village will be one of the largest
aud most flourishing in the county. Seven or
eight telements have been erected the past
season aud seversl more will be erected in the
Spring The committee believe that the agita-
tion of the subject to enlarge the business of
the village has had very healthful effect and
contributed very largely to improve the condi
ton of its trade and financial prospects.

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION.-Thea anniver-
sary of the Proclamation of Emancipation was
celebrated at Mountfort street church on Thurs
day evening. There was good and attentive
audience present. A fine choir discour.eG ex-
celleut music throughout the exercises.
Rev. Mr. Mossell presided, and introduced
Mr., Murry, who read the Proclamation, Mr.
Ash of Boston, was the first speaker of the
evening He delivered a forcible address, re-
ferr ,g to the event that was being celebrat
as ia most notable of the century. He dwelt
upon the great need of educating this class that
ten years ago was in bondage. At the close of
his remarks the choir sang the Star Spangled
Banner, with piano accompaniment. Mr.
Edward Williams read poem on 1.-THE old
year and the new." 1t was excellently deliver
ed.
Mr. Morris of New Haven, Conn.,, next ad-
dressed the meeting. He spoke of the event
being celebrated as of the utmost Importance
to every man of color. Great advancement
had been made in the last ten years in the
South in the cause of education, and there is
great importance that each and all should fit
themselves for high positions in life. He cont
planned that the colored teachers were not en-
ployed in any of the graded schools OF the
North. He closed by saying that all men of
color should rejoice that Lincoln had ever made
that stroke of bis pen that liberated fonr mil
lions of his fellow men. The pastor made a
few appropriate remarks, when the company
were invited to join in social time. Refresh
ments were for sale, and gift tree was un-
Io,nod dining the evening. An hour or more
was thus spent in social intercourse, and when
the company dispersed the celebration was vot-
ed grand success.
