Ind ustrios OF winthrop.

A gentleman from this city, having occasion
to visit Winthrop, took a glance at several
of the manufacturing establishments Of that
prosperous and growing place. The water
power is very valuable, there being four dams
| at the village. Scarcely town in the State,
Of its SIZE can boast of such facilities for water
| power, capable at all seasons of the year OF
irving heavy machinery.
The Winthrop Mills (Woolen) Manufact-
uring Company have a capital of 1925, 900,
| and manufacture blankets. A portion of the
blankets are all wool, and a part have cotton
| warp, that is manufactured in another factory.
About l25 men are employed in the two fac
| tories. Most Of this property is owned by
Boston parties, although portion is owned
in Winthrop. Value ofthe annual production
| of the establishment, $3.50, 900. Mr.. McEroy
IS agent for the company.
G.. A. Wing carries on extensively the man
ufacture of boots, and c. A. Wing & Co. that
of moccasins, employing so men in both indus
tries. The boots have large sale and fine
reputation; the moccasns are sold mostly TO
the lumbermen at Bangor anil on the Penob-
scot waters. An old gentleman, working at
the cutting board, is very young for one OF
his years. He has passed the eigf y-second
milestone, and taxes the energies of his young,
er fellow workn.en in excepting up their end
OF the yoke" II. f. Morton and S. w. Par
lin are also engaged in the manufacture of
boots and shoes.
Luther Whitman has a capital of perhaps
$50, 900 invested in the manufacture of Ag-
ricutural Implements uses 200 tons of iron,
500, 900 feet of lumber, and employs from
thirty to forty men, He manufactures thresh-
ing machines, cultivators, drags, revolving
and wheel rakes, plows and harrows, cider
mills, wheelbarrows, etc. The workmen are
just now engaged in filling an order for 5000
grindstone frames for Europe.
Next we come to the Touring mill Of p. c.
Bradford & Co., where is manufactured -four
of the best brands for the home market, re-
ceiving the wheat mostly from the West, al
though some is grown in the vicinity Of the
mill.
In the village is the floor oil cloth factory of
Charles NJ. Bailey, with an annual production
of oil cloths to the value of $4,000 and
employing 10 men. The factory Of Moses Bal
ley at "Baileyvile," turns out an annual pro-
duction Of about 5l50,000 and employs so
men.
There are also other smaller industries in
the town, which in their quiet way contribute
to its prosperity. An elegant high school
building, planned by Fassett, has been erected
at the cost OF SIS, 600 The hotel is kept by
Mr.. Lovejoy, very popular landlord, who
has solved the problem so difficult to so many,
of how to keep hotel and not sell rum. Mr..
Lovejoy came from Bethel, purchased the
hotel, and is doing we'll. The churches have
been painted or repaired, new dwelling houses
and stores erected, old ones rejuvenated,
and the whole tom shows thrift. There is
not a particle Of down-heartednsss at any
thing that may appear unfsvorable in the bu-
siness world.

Yesterday forenoon, Mr.. W. s. Reed was
not quite spry enough in getting his double
team over the railroad track, at the Bridge st.
crossing, and 80 the engine, coming along,
helped him. But Reed doesn't want any
more help Of that kind. The team was
loaded with pressed hay; never was hay made
so quick before, that is, made to scatter. 1t
was spread mos, etiectually. The cart was
no more = cart, but wreck. A piece of the
former cart, of which Mr.. Reed was once so
proud. forced its way through the flag house.
That is all. No damage to humanity or to
the dumb beasts. But its a mighty poor way
to get hay to market

Mr.. Simpson presented the following reso-
lutions, which were adopted:
RESOLVED, That to our sister States of the
Union that propose to unite in the proper OBJ.
servance ofthe Centennial Anniversary of the
independence of the United States, we send
our cordial and fraternal greetings, accompa-
MED by pledge that no effort shall be lacking
on our part to secure for Maine a proper rep
resentation on that great occasion; that, Lot
forgetting the records Of other States, we re-
cognize the proprety of locating this celebra-
ton at Philadelphia, SO imperishably con-
nected with the glorious memories of the Rev
olution; and we extend our thanks to her
people for their patriotic aid so largely aud
freely rendered to the Centennial Exposition.
RESOLVED, That while not discouraging
aid from other sources, we respectfully urge
the friends Of the Centennial to Immediately
organize in each State and territory the most
perfect system to reach the hearts Of the en-
tire people of the country, and to interest
them IN the success of the Centennial Expo
sition and to receive from true patriotic
American citizens such sums for the stock As
each shall see fit to contribute.
RESOLVED, That We fully believe that such
a course will be the means Of bringing the
whole subject directly before the people, and
Of interesting them in the grandest enterprise
our nation has ever witnessed. The people
of this nation have never failed to promptly
respond to any great call on their patriotism.
They did not fail in l77G. We still have the
utmost faith in them, and believe that when
fairly informed of the objects Of the Centen-
NAL, and properly appealed to, they will as
promptly and cordially respond now as here
tofore.
Messrs. Shaw, Simpson and Spraguc, the
three newspaper men of the board, were ap
pointed to the duty of preparing an address to
the people.
After a conversational discussion of several
topics, the board adjourned. The next meet
ing viii probably be held in Portland, in June,
during the Industrial exhibition there, at
which time the plans of the board will be more
fully matured. The State is fortunate in the
composition of the board. They are gentle
men who have the ability, enthusiasm and de-
termination to do their duty in this important
matter, and should Names assigned position
in the exposition not be properly filed it
will not be the fault Of the board.
