RuSinaSS Notes.

The shipments of shoes from Auburn during
the past week have been 972 cases and the re-
ceipts 41190 poun is of leather. During the
previous week the shipments were 965 cases
and the receipts 6S, ISL pounds of leather. One
year ago, for the week ending June oath, the
shipments were 1888 cases and the receipts TO-
go pounds of leather. The serge trade has
held out well this season and few orders are
coming in on fall trade, but orders are small
and dealers very cautious. The prospect on all
kinds of shoe trade is not encouraging.
The Wing says that the freight business of
the European and North American railway for
the month of May foots up several thousand
dollars better than was anticipated, and is

the fall a threshing machine. They have one
run of stone for grinding corn, also facilities

that the owners, who are good mechanics, have
done the greater part of the work is erecting
this mill, starting for the forest with their axes
upon their shoulders, to cut the first timber for
the frame in June, 1874, and the following Au-
gust had their engine in working order, with a
thresher attached ready to thresh the farmers

Railroad Consolidation.

There is proposition now under discussion
in railroad circles to consolidate the Eastern

authority has already been asked from the New
Hampshire legislature for the proposed union
and that the matter will be brought before the
Maine legislature at its next session, but
whether our lawgivers will look favorably upon
the scheme is likely to depend somewhat upon
the views Of the Maine stockholders in the P.
S. & P. who may feel reluctant to consent to
any action which could possibly mperil their
present very comfortable dividends.

TIT FOR TAT-An amusing incident occur
red at one of the public school examinations
yesterday. A well known gentleman, editor OF
one of our weekly papers, illustrated some re-
marks on the subject of spelling by the story
of the merchant who sent to South America
for two monkeys, spelling the mineral "too"
and emitting to cross the st, so that it looked
like 100. The result was that ship came in
with 81 monkeys and letter from South
America saying that it was impossible to OBJ
tain the full hundred, but that the eighty seven
were sent along in the hope that they would
prove sufficient This story the editor applied
to prominent South American merchant VINO
was present. and who promptly replied that 1t
was true that he did by mistake get this large
number of monkeys on his hands and tina. he
was for long time perplexed to know what to
do with them, but finally solved the difficulty
very satisfactorily by securing for them places
in the editorial chsirs of the weekly newspap-
ers, where they were doing very well.
