Maine Manufactures.

1t is hoped that the industrial statistics
of the State which have been published,
will have the effect to quicken the enter
prises of our people in the many direc-
tons in which labor and brains NAV be
prolitably employed. Maine is full of
undeveloped resources that wait to enrich
the coming man. For instance, the Com
missioner sets down the total product of
canned CLAIMS at 1900 dozens, or, 10000
cans. Maine CLAIMS are delicious article
of diet, and the demand for them may be
made almost unlimited, when put up in
sealed packages that preserve them for
any length of time. The supply of clans
in penobscot Bay and about Belfast alone
is immense, and unlike the Holsters, they
cannot be run out by large demands The
more CLAIMS you dig, the more there are
OF them, is the clamorous paradox of the
experienced hunters for the shell fish
Labor is abundant here, and the season
for claiming is that IN which men and
boys have least to do. This hint is thrown
out for the benefit of the right men, who
may make fortunes out Of it,
Another profitable branch of industry,
for which Maine is peculiarly fitted as q
grazing country, is that Of canning milk
For this there is great demand for ships,
Travellers hotels, and all localities where
fresh milk cannot be obtained A large
quantity is produced at Elgin H., and a
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post, who recently visited that place,
gives an account of the process of prepar-
ing the milk, as, follows:
First, the milk is carefully strained; second
iy, it is gently heated in order to drive Oft all
offensive and animal odOrs-and those odOrs
are offensive, L assure you, when they come
from large quantity of milk; thirdly the
milk is treated to large proportion of granu-
lated sugar of good quality; and then, fourthly
it is evaporated at a low temperature in vast
closed, copper cauldrons. from which the air is
partially exhausted; and filthy, it is drawn in
to cans. which after being filed are sodered up
tight. There is no doubt that such milk is as
the country generally and far better every wav
than that brought around in our cities.
A portion of the abundant milk of Wal
do County might be probably used in this
way, and avoid the danger of OVERRIDING
the cheese business.

We are glad to see what is called the
sinking fund Of the state of Maine is re-
ceiving notice in various quarters. GOV
Dmgley, in his inaugural, called attention
to its large increase and suggested that
measures be taken for its security Bv far
the better way would be to destroy all
the State OF Maine bonds which are now
held by the treasury under this fictitious
head, and employ what little other money
there may be in the same fund in buying
up and burning an equal amount Of out
standing bonds of the state
The recent experience Of the state of
New York. and the unsavory recollections
of the Peck swindle in Maine, ought to
quicken the apprehensions of the people
On the 2Sth of January Gov. Dix sent a
message to the Legislature of New York,
in which he stated that eleven millions Of
dollars Of the sinking fund of that state
had disappeared from the treasury, and
| existed only or paper 1t had been used
up, dlltl Itil no trace pGIllIlu.
There is much reason to believe that
the so-called sinking fund of Maine has
no more reality than has that of New
York. We called attention to it during
the reign of the oily Hichboln in the
treasury, and have seen no reason to
change the opinion then expressed The
treasurers report for the year ending Jan
/, 1871, gives the state of two sinking
funds. One is claimed to amount to 1885,
6lS.sl. And in what does this fund CON
sist3 One hundred and eighteen dollars
and eighty-one cents is set down as cash
The remaining $685., 10000 consists of
registered bonds Of the State of Maine.
These, taken in their most favorable sense.
may mean bonds that have been paid. If
paid, there should be an end Of them
For, remaining uncancelled in the treas
uIy, they must be 4 constant temptation
to those seeking avenues to the treasury.
But why credit the sinking fund with
interest accruing from these bonds. a
Mr. Treasurer Caldwell has done? As
we'll might man make his own note for
thousand dollars, put it in his pocket,
and call himself richer by the amount of
its interest The other sinking fund has
some solidity in the shape Of 10000 in
IT, S. bonds, but these had better be ex-
changed for State of Maine bonds. and
the latter destroyed
There is no reputable tinancier who APP
proves of sinking funds in general, and
such ones as those .of the Maine treasury
are simply Imaginable. Adam Smith, one
of the best authorities on political econo-
my, says they were tried thoroughly by
the English government, and condemned

pensive and cumbersome, and never bv

A Daring Robbery.

ST LOUIS, Mo, Feb. l. A most daring
robbery was committed last evening on
the Iron Mountain Railroad As the train
which left here at 3 :45 yesterday morning
came in sight of Gads' Hill station, 120
miles below this city, at 80 p NJ, it was
slgnalled to stop, the switch turned and
the train run on the side track.
As the train stopped Conductor Afford
stepped off to ascertain what was the mat
ter, when he was confronted by man
wearing mask. A pistol was placed to
his head and he was marched off The
engineer, fireman, mail agent, express
messenger, and other train men were
seized by five masked and heavily armed
men and also placed under guard.
The robbers then went through the en-
tire tram and took from the passengers
about - 600 and large amount of jewel
ry. They also took from Adams Express
messenger about 81 600 and rifled the
mails The robbers then left in a souther-
ly direction and after the release, the train
started southwark.
