Mr.. j. F. Lindley, one mile from town. Not

the night came on with twinkling stars, and
fair Lunar brightly silvsred all things terrss-

merry, happy add gay. The Band discoursed
some charming music. Watsrmelops and LEM
onade were the refreshments. While in one
sense it was nselon-cholly occasion, it was
nevertheless happy and pleasant one, and all
were delighted.

UNsHED TEARS.

OF all the griefs that bear part
In lifs's distressing fears,
Deepest is laden heart
Burdened with sinshed tearsl
Roses laughing in the morn,
With their dewy faces bright,
Droop With hearts too full Of storm,
Ere the stars come out ct night.
So laugh hearts with promise bright,
In the happy smiling years,
Ere hopes roses feel the blight
That ever comes with unshsd tears.
As the parting waves divide
And show deeper sea,
So the pulsing waves Of pride
Hide deeper depths Of misery
Many a face and wsaried heart
With sorrow well has strivsn,
This sad life's not all your part,
There's perfect rest in heaven.

Business Notes.

Moses Bailey's oil cloth factory in Winthrop
is to close this week on account of hard times
and SLOW sales.
The powder mills at Warren are now rum
ming night and day, and are turning out the
best quality of blasting powder manufactured
in the United States. The quality is uniform
and the company always keep it up to the
standard. Quarry men have found out that
poor, cheap powder is not profitable in their
observation-disclosures tina large orders from all
parts of the country for this powder, which
obliges the owners Of the mills to run them
necessarily.
An industry which helps Winterport through
the dull times from late in the fall till early in
the spring is the smelt fishery, which furnishes
lucrative employment for quite number of
men. Last winter from $50 to 200 tons of
these fish were sold in the New York market,
netting the shipper from to 20 cents pound.
Mr. T. K. Law of Bethel has his clothes pin
factory in successful operation. He turns out
ninety minute. He has machinery capable
of manufacturing six hundred boxes day.
The apple crop of York county for this year
is superior to that of many years past. Those
farmers who planted orchards ten or dozen
years ago are now reapng rich benefits there
from. Mr.. Jacob Fl. Hall of North Berwick
planted $50 trees of the Baldwin variety twelve
years ago, and this year gathered 104 barrels

THERE isn't much satisfaction in it but
Republican journals are finding bit of COM
fort in the fact that both Ohio and Indiana
are states that in the past have taken queer
political freaks. For instance the Republi-
can majority in 1861 in Ohio was 81. 303.
The next year the Democrats had 5,577 ma
jority but in 1873 the Republicans went to
the front with 1O1 ,099 majority. In 1860 the
Ohio congressional delegation stood 13 Re-
publicans and s Democrats. In 1852 when
the war reaction took place, the delega-
tion stood five Republicans and fourteen
Democrats. In Indiana the Republican ma
jority in 1860 was $685., but in 1862 the rebel
Democracy on the. peace issue carried the
state by 9,543 majority. In 1860 the Republi
cans elected members of Congress and the
Democrats 4; but in 1862 the Democrats
elected Z and the Republicans 4. If we re-
member rightly the average Democrat was as
jubilant over the victory of 1862 when the
issue was against an abolition war" for ma
tional existence as in 1872 whenlt was won
under the banner of reputation.

NEW YORK.
The New P0st.oillce.

New YORK, Oct. 27-The outside wooden
buildings which have been used as the head
quarters for Superintendent Hubbard and
Architect Steinmetz of the new post-office were
to-day destroyed. Offices have been furnish ed
on the second floor, and were occupied to-day.
The heating apparatus is in working order, the
plasterers are now at work, and Architect
Stenmetz confidently expects to have that por-
ton of the building devoted to the post.Otfice
department entirely ready for occupancy by
Postmaster James and his force on the first
Tuesday in January.
The foundation for the new and massive
barge Office for the customs inspectors is being
laid at the battery, and if the next Congress
authorize the sale of the old post-Office building
and land, and that of the custom house during
the coming winter, the necessary steps can
speedily be taken toward the erection of the
proposed new custom house at the battery.
Ia Trial of a Tax Collector.
The trial of ex-Tax Collector Badeau of
Brooklyn was resumed to-day. Several vouch-

been made, altering amounts varying from one
to two and three hundred dollars. The intro
duction of the vouchers was protested against
by the defendants counsel, but was overruled
by the court. The case is still on.

THE case of Bishop Seymour which has
been before the Episcopal council in ses-
sion in New York is involved in much OBJ
security on account of the secret deliberations
of that body, but it appears that he has
been defeated. At the opening Of the coun-
Gil this case was expected to come into promi-
hence, and numerous petitions both in favor
and against the bishops confirmation were
presented from Illinois. Prof. Seymour re-
quested that he should be allowed to appear
and defend himself, but it appears that this
reques. was denied. he.charges against him
are to great extent conjectural. 1t is said
that he favored the practice of the confession
al and .eucharistic alteration, though this he
denies. What produced the strongest effect
on the council was letter read by DR.. Cox.
and other documents showing that Seymour
when professor in the New York Theologi-
cal Seminary had allowed Father Grafton of
Boston, an extremist. access to his pupils in
the seminary. Another strong point was his
declining to restrain young men from indulg-
ing.in extremist opinions, on the plea that
they were allowed by the church.

Alabama from thirty seven counties, eight
cen replies have been received. Frost is gen.
orally reported throughout the state, the eff

limited extent. The weather is favorable for
gathering and two-thirds was picked on an
average at the date of our replies. and planters
expect to finish by the 18th of November.
Twelve counties report an increased yield COM
pared with last year, varying from 5 to 100 per

twenty-five per cent Twenty-four counties
report decrease of 10 to so per cent. and an
average of Is per cent. decrease. The crop will
be picked cleaner and earlier than usual.

Food Prospects.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of the breadstuffs market
says: with less rain and colder temperature
the weather here and on the continent has been
favorable for late potatoes, seed sowing and
all kinds Of field work In France potatoes
are abundant and free from disease The ten
dency of the wheat market here is rather up
ward.
In some cases there has been an advance of a
shilling. The markets of France and Belgium
have stoutly followed those of Great Britain.
The sales in England during the week show q
diminution Of 10000 quarters, which makes
evident the reluctance of growers to accept
present rates. ...
Frcights.
Freights in Hungary are declining, though
yet too high to admit of the shipment Of wheat
to England. Southern Russia is beginning,
however, to ship, despairing of doing better for
some time to come, as the supplies are rapidly
increasing.
1t is thought cold weather will soon interfere
with shipments from America by closing the
rivers and canals when some improvement in
prices is anticipated.

The cry of "ring" or s'fraud," however
popular and effective at this moment in the
hands of adroit managers, means nothing.
1t neither fixes crime nor criminal. The
Democratic cry, for instance, to-day is,
'Down with the State Ringp' That simply
means, ''Down with the administration that
has reduced our debt $2O,000,000, and let us
have it up again to the good old S40,O00,OO0,"

A Washington special says that the Comp
troller of the currency continues to receive
more currency from banks surrendering their
circulation than is called for by those wishing
to establish new banks. Of late there has
been scarcely no call whatever for currency
from the West, and the Comptroller does not
believe it will become necessary to make
requistion on the East to supply the demands
for the West, for at least a year 10 come.
In old Massachusetts,, quite under the

that he would only be useful to attend to the

WASHING postal stamps seems to be a ma
ional industry which, hitherto, has not re-
ceived that recognition which its extent and
success demands, if the estimate of the third
assistant postmaster general that the govern
ment is defrauded annually out of millions of
dollars by the business is correct. The
amount is so large that it is evident that
there must be systematic land wellorgan-
lied business carried ON in this line. and
some of the special agents of the post-office
department might occupy their time profita-
bly, in hunting it up.
