CRUELTY TO HORsE.-Mr. sawyer. the
agent of the Cruelty Society, had long search
for an old horse which he had reason to believe
was being ill-treated, yesterday. The account
of the transaction is rather amusing, even II 1t
was hard on the abused beast. Several years
ago Dr. Wood let man named Moulton OF
Windham, have horse to keep with the ua'
Outstanding that he was never to dispose OF
him without his consent. Not long since the
horse was traded to Charles Capin of this city,
Moulton receiving another horse and $40 to
boot Mr.. Capin took the horse to the Cape to
pasture, but his teeth were SO poor that he
could not eat at all, and the owner was obliged
to take him home to keep him alive. On his
way home he met Mr. Wiley, the tender of the
draw in Portland bridge. He asked S1S for
him, but after some conversation Mr.. Wiley
bought the horse for five hens and rooster
Mr.. Wiley found that meal and water was all
the horse could eat so he sold him to Hub
Libby of Scarboro for $40 and 200 bean poles,
trusting Mr.. Libby for the $40. Mr. Libby soon
sold him to Moses Dolly fol- $13 on account.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Wood heard where the
horse was and sent Mr.. Sawyer to buy and kill
him. The poor horse was found, bought killed
and buried.

Westbrook Manufacturing Company.

The Westbrook Manufacturing Co. was char
tered by the Legislature of 1916 for the purpose
of manufacturing cotton goods, but no organi-
cation was effected under the charter until
1858, when the property of the Portland Manu-
featuring Co., situated in Saccarappa, on the
Presumpscot River, being offered for sale, the
incorporates became its purchasers and the
successors of that company, with Joshua Rich
ardson for its first President and Rufus E..
Wood Treasurer. After the purchase was COM
pleted, extensive alterations and repairs were
made in the mill and the cid machinery taken
out and replaced with the latest and best
throughout. Two turbine wheels were put in
the place of the old water wheel. The water
power of this company is probably one Of the
best in the state, by reason of the river being
so short, that rarely any damage arises from
freshets and from the size and number OF
lakes from which it draws its supply, never
lacking water even in seasons of the severest
drouth.
The present number of spindles in operation
is u. 600; number of looms 2l3. These require
upwards of 1000 bales of cotton per year. The
mills are heated with steam, and lighted with
gas made on the company's premises.
The apparatus for protection against fire is OF
the best order consisting of steam pumps with
hose attached in every story, ready for instant
use, fire extnguishers in every room, and pals
filled with water in all available places. The
picker room, where the cotton is opened, is in
a building by itself, in order to guard against
the contingency of fire which is liable to arise
in this place.
The Company employ about 200 hands and
manufacture the well known brand of "Port-
land Duck" turning out annually over $4,000
yards, which fluids a ready market in the New
England States and British Provinces. Large
quantities are exported to South America and
West Indies They also manufacture over
750, 900 yards of sheetings, 100000 stripes and
Jeans, 80, 900 lbs of batting, $4,000 lbs. of Irvine,
ETC., which are sold in this market and Boston
and New York.
The mills have been under the management
of Mr. James Haskell as Agent since the COM
pany was formed, and he still continues in the
same capacity; and to his knowledge and abil-
ity the company owes much of its prosperity
and reputation. The late Hon. Rufus e. Wood
was Treasurer from the beginning in 1853 to
1862, and from 1868 up to the time of his death
he was Treasurer and Selling Agent. From
1862 to 1868 the late Rensselaer, Cram, Esq,
was Treasurer; and to the energy and business
skill of these gentlemen the company is indebt-
ed for the success that has attended them.
The present board of officers consists of Sam
uel E. Spring, Pres; Nathan Cummings, 'Jo-
seph Walker and Edward Gould, Directors
VIM. R. Wood, Treas. and Selling Agent. The
office and warehouse of the company for the
sale of goods, is at No. 10 Central Wharf

The Centennial Celebratien at City Hnll.
AS the centennial celebration draws near and
the plans of the executive committee are be-
coming perfected, il seems appropriate 10
shallow forth the evenings programme tna'
all may understand what good time is antici'
pated aud Immediately prepare to be IN IL.
City Hall will be deliberately decorated ana
festooned under the direction of a gentleman
of we'll known artistic taste and prectical expe-
rieuce.
In addition to the flower-booth, which only
fails in being an emblem of the centennial IN
that it has blossomed into:beauty many times
during the century, there will be correspond
ing booth erected where the incest OF tea ana
coffee will be served in memorial cups and the
cups and saucers themselves sold as memen-
toes os this historic occasion. These cups anu
saucers are in design like those used century
ago and decorated with appropriate emblems
They are intended to commemorate the great
national celebration of 1876 and it is expected
that everyone will secure so elegant memento
of the great event. The dresses will be many
of them so old, yet so brilliant and becoming
that this cannot fail to be very effective spec
tacle.
Ushers in costume will escort the illustrous
guests, personating the most noteworthy char
acters of the revolutionary times. to a raised
dais in front of the stage, and there in the
ceremonous manner of ye olden time, present
them to George and Martha Washington. At
ter the presentation many ladies and gentle
men in antique toilets, complete, from pow
dered wig to silver shoe-buckle. will move in
the stately and time-honored nainuet George
and Martha leading the procession and opeLing
the ball.
At the conclusion Of. the minuet, George
Washington takes his wife by the tips of the
fingers and escorts her to the tea table ;they are
followed by members of the Washington faml-
ly, by signers of the Declaration of lndepen-
dence and other prominent characters of 1.-THE
republic or frequenters of the Republican
court.
After the ten-drinkng we confidently hope
to have brief and short addresses, old fashioned
singing of old fashioned music accompanied by
the big holy fiddle and the wicked little fiddle,
besides choruses, in which everybody, without
respect to age or condition, time or tune, are
expected to join and sing to the best OF their
knowledge and ability At this point the apex
of patriotic enthusiasm is expected to be reach
ed and in the old-fashioned reels and country
dances that follow in the centennial ball. All
are expected to join and be patrotically merry.

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-12-09

not as numerous as at first anticipated,
and last week l published an article,
clipped from the Jackson Republic,
which reads as follows:
A. S. Brooks brought to our Office the other
day a turf from near Window and where he
saw immense numbers of grasshoppers depos-
iting eggs last summer, but after thorough ex-
animation there could be found only one sack
of eggs in the turf which was about foot
square There was some evidence that many
of the eggs through some cause have rotted.
And perhaps there are many others
who will agree with me on this matter.
Of course it is nonse to say that the eggs
have all rotted, but one would inter
from Mr., Clarke's article that I said this
merely for ''cnrrent rumor," but such
is not the case. agree with Mr.. Wise
on the theory that the heavy rains which
visited this state last summer had a great
deal to do with the destruction OF the
eggs, and also that blackbirds and prai-
ate them quite readily.
Mr.. Wise has been all through the
grasshopper districts, and believe he
knows whereof he speaks, Being one
of the appointed commissioners, he has
given it his utmost attention, and when
the proper time comes, will make very
satisfactory report.
Yours truly,
