Marriage Licenses,
The following marriage licenses were
issued for the week ending Dec 10th:

The following marriage licenses were
issued for the week ending Dec 10th:
/. John F. Tuncy, Christine Munson.
=, John Thomas, Anne ia Tools,
3. d. Dolphin Mitchell, r, Ann Harrison.
Another license has been issued, but
County Clerk, John Y. Cook, has suppressed
the record oft. Mr., Cook refused to
state the names Of the parties, and got up
on his official ear again and cussed and
swore at his usual rate,--but our reporter
learned that it was issued at the instance
Of or sworn out by B. f. Tillinghast. and
that the name Of one Of the parties is Max
C. Wilcox 1t will probably become a
question, before long, whether the county
clerks office is public office, belonging to
the public and subject to the examination
of citizens seeking for information, or
whether it is the private property of John
V. Cook iu order that he may make pri-
vate agreements with parties to suppress
the public records. IF license has been
issued it should be on the public records
instead of the clerk making private bar
gains with people who don't want the fact
known that they are or are to be married
In this case there may be nothing wrong
but how does the public know that there
is nothing wrong? If the clerk can make
private agreement lin order to please
any onel to suppress a public record, HI
can do SO for u corrupt reason. He ha
no right to DO it for any reason. The pub
lie have right to know it. and we intent
they shall know it. John v Cook has Il
more right to suppress public record ,
public transaction in his office than Geo
D. Gould would have TO suppress the fliEt
of mortgage deed,-and unless he take
a different course and discharges his dut
in pubic and impartial manner there j
a way to compel him to do SO or expol hin
from The Office.

Correcting the Records.

We don't believe that any of the speakers at the
state Temperance convention in Bangor, on We'd
nesday were tight" but some of them had
treacherous memories, Judging from the report Of
their remark, in the Wing. One gentleman clearly
stated, and others ntmated, that that the first
State convention ever held in Maine CT the Tenn
perancc Reform Clubs. Now, not to find fault
with the statement, We would mildly hint tina. it is
not correct. \ little moro then three years ago,
when the first temperance reform clubs were
formed, the need was felt of a State organize
ton. Accordingly call was issued, and the first
State convection OF the Temperance Reform
Clubs of Maine, was held in Augusta, on the
9TH of June, 1872. 1t was held for the pur-
pose of pclfccting State organization, SO that
the clubs might work together tremendously;
for uniformity is pledge, constitution and by
laws, and to seek counsel Fourteen clubs
| were represented at that first convention and Mr..
j X. Osgood of Gardiner, chosen its Presi-
| dent The State club thus formed has held its
| regular annual meetings and they have always
been well attended and profitable in their results.
| The last convention was held in Portland on the
10th Of February, in connection with the National
Temperance Campmeetlng Association, and ar
engagements made for grand Temperance Camp
| meeting to he held at Old Orchard, commence
| ing on the 18th of August next. Mr.. David Pot
| ter of Gardner is President of the State Club,
J and NJ. ). Wadsworth its Secretary. We don't
like to throw cold water upon this ne'r State Club,
although cold water is temperance element; but
in view Of the above record, which is correct, we
submit if there isn't screw loose somewhere.
| And then the Bangor club was organized about a
year ago, although speaker at the above meet
| ing modestly said The clubs of the State were
the offspring Of the Bangor Club, by which the
| others had been organized"

Maine Manufacturing News.
The cheese factory in Unity is to be put in op
ora tion the frat of lime

The wooden mill of S. P. Brown & Co., in Do
YER, has shut down for the space of about three
months. The reason for stopping work, is because
the fabric manufactured there does not, lust now,
meet with a ready sale.
Since starting up their mill at Bradley, the
Messrs. Cutler, Thatcher & Co.. have employed a
large force Of men, but owing to the lack of logs
they are obliged to temporarily shut down. Thus
far this season they have sawed and RATED down
over million feet of long lumber, and about two
million laths. The capacity of these mills Is
about 50 600 feet day, and the RATS of lumber
each average about 1000 feet.

The cheese factory at North Liver1norc is being

Messrs. Young & Bucknam have leased the old

of Cumberland and Preble streets in Portland, and
introduced improved machinery for the manufac-
ture of the wood work for furniture, carriages &c.
The Winthrop cheese factory has commenced
operations, under favorable circumstances. The
outlook is that it will be more extensively patron
zed than last year. 1t is some six weeks earlier
than they commenced last year. The same gen
tie man superintends the work that was employed
by them last season, Mr.. A. III. Holland of Barre,
Mass.
The mills at Fairfield, and the Lawrence mill at
Somerset Mills have started for the season.
