THE IMPORT BUSINESS. imports of for
eign dry goods into the city of New York for
the month of October, 1874, are half million
less than for the same month in 1873, and mil
lion and half less than 1872, while they were
two millions and half less than for October
81, 1871. The total of such imports at said port
for the ten months ending October, 81, 1874,
entered at the port, is ten millions less than for
the same period last year, and thirty millions
less than for the same period in 1872. There
has been of late constant shrinkage in values,
with no prospect of an immediate reaction.
The market for domestic goods, wooden and
cotton, is dull, without any increase of activity,
when concessions in price are made. 1t is very
difficult to see how there is to be any marked
improvement in season for the spring trade.
Everybody is outstanding resources.

THE BATES COLLEGE HAzING.-The Lewis
ton Journal says the case of hazing at Bates
College was not so serious as reported, though
the services of physician were necessary for
the injured man. There was no difficulty in
ferreting out the offenders: indeed, they felt SO
ashamed of their work that they confessed.
They went further, and humbly apologized for
their offence both to the Faculty and to the in
jured student, and were freely forgiven by the
latter after an explanation of the circums tances.
Notwithstanding the offenders pledged them
selves never to be concerned in or to counte-
nance another attempt, yet the Faculty regard
ed it important to make an example of the haz
ers, and accordingly four were suspended and
four put on probation. Under other circum
stances the punishment would have been ex-

Loss OF SHIP PAcIFIC.-A special cable dis.
patch from Liverpool to John T. Smith reports
that ship Pacific of Yarmouth, Me-, 1872 tons,
Capt. Lorng, from Antwerp for Cardiff, has
been totally wrecked at Stackpole, Wales. The
Pacific was owned by S. C.. Blanchard and
others, aud was built at Yarmouth in 1869.
The disaster is an unfortunate one for the own
ers, as the ship was valued at upwards of $112,-
600, and there was only $4,000 insured on her,
which risk was held by the Boston Marine In
surance Company of Boston.

Morrill, After considerable business, confined

ly discussed by Joshua Nye, H. M. Bryant, A.
j. Chase, c. F. SWEET and others:
HResolved That as an Order, the Good Tenn
plars should devote more of their energies to
the moral aspect of the temperance question

cluded in the prohibitory law.

of this last resolve.

celent readings by Mrs. Roberts, and singing

TREASURE FoUND-Last Monday as Mr. B.
w. Pickett was removing stone wall from I'M
der the Strout house at Ferry Village, bag of
coin was found by one of the workmen. Mr..
Pickett took charge of the money and now
awaits its owner. The house was formerly
owned by Levi Strout esq.,, and was built by
him forty years ago, and has been occupied by
him until within the last nine years, when it
was sold to Mr.. Pickett for eleven shares of
stock in the II. H. Day. As no one of means
has occupied the house since it was owned by
Strout, it is probable the gold belonged to
Strouts son George, an eccentric young man,
who spent his time in Cuba and other Spanish
ports, making an annual visit home In 1865
Young Strout came home from Cuba and was
known to have eight or ten hundred dollars
which he refused to account for to his father.
Shortly afterwards he left home to follow the
sea and was last heard from in South America
five years ago. 1t is the general opinion the
money was put there by him, and as his IA
Their is old and in Strengthened circumstances,
the money will! no doubt be turned over to
him.
