MOVING MACHINE SwINDLE.-A note for
$3.50 was paid at the First National Bank of
Biddeford on Wednesday. which the maker
acknowledges he was foolish enough to give in
business transaction which appeared specious
on its face, but was in reality a downright
swindle. The Biddeford Journal says similar
notes have undoubtedly been given in every
town in York county, and the makers are now
awakening to the fact that they have been taken
in. A moving machine manufacturing COM
papy in New Hampshire has been appointing
agents in various sections of the county, and as
it is unable to live up to its promises those who
take hold of the business get bitten. Men are
solicited to act as agents on what appears at
first sight to be safe plan. The agent agrees
to take so many machines and gives his note
for them; the company agree if the agent fails
to sell within specified time to send an assis-
tant to aid him, and if at the end of the month
any machines remain unsold, the company
agrees to take them back and pay cash for
them, The company appears not to be in condi-
ton to live up 10 its agreements, and hence the
agents finds themselves with machines on hand
which they are unable to sell, but for which
they are obliged to pay as their notes have been
taken by third parties. In many instances no
machines are obtained by the agents after the
notes have been given.

Waste OF WATER.-A gentleman who
claims to be "a citizen who has a little respect
for those who have to do without water writes
that on Wednesday he visited number of
places where they had "Sebago" and in every
house water was running to waste to prevent
freezing, Without doubt there was water
enough wasted at each place to supply twenty
families. The reason offered for the waste was
that it costs no more to let the water run than
to shut it off This is scandalous, for by the ex-
penditure of a dollar they could have a cut off
put in which would prevent freezing.

in length and is finished with several kinds of
woods. 1t is furnished with the patent lamps,
which are very important in an apartment of
this kind; also water closet, wash bowl and
many other conveuiences The work is great
credit to Mr.. Richardson's skill, and he may
well be proud of it. All who have seen the car
pronounce it the best in use in New England.
1t was run out for the first time last Wednes-
day morning by g. E. Marshall head clerk,
