A Portland Eutcrur1se.

Ever since the Portland Star Match Com
pany was organized in 1866, it has steadily
grown, ard is now one of the most successful
industries in Portland. In 1870 the factory sit
uated on West Commercial street was erected.
The original building was but 10 feet in length
and 60 feet wide, but in 1872 the business of the
firm had increased so rapidly that it was found
necessary to put on an addition, 4Ox6O feet. At
this time an engine of 60-horse power was put
in, and new machinery introduced. The busi-
ness has again Increased so that they are
obliged to put on still larger addition this sea-
son. Accordingly. Green & Jordan have the
contract to erect two story brick building,
S0x60 feet, on the west end of the factory.
Formerly the saving of the logs into cards for
matches has been doLe elsewhere, but now it
will be all accomplished in the factory. The
addition when completed will contain steam
saw mill, and the pine logs can be brought d.
rectly to the factory on the Boston & Maine
tracks and rolled into the mill. The company
are expecting to buy large lots of timber this
season of persons in this vicinity who have it
on hand. They use all sizes Of pine logs from
four feet upwards, and pay the highest market

the industry, as it. will employ % additional
men, making upwards of 100 persons who are
on the pay rolls of the company.
Taeir orders are sufficient to keep the factory
in operation the year round. Their market is
principally in New England but they send
their goods all over the United States besides
having large export trade. They use $780,
600 feet of timber every year, and pay the gov
eminent from 500 to $1,000 per day for stamps.
The factory is the largest one in the State, and
the largest but one in New England.
The walls of the new addition are nearly
completed, and the building W i'll be ready for
occupancy in about tive months When all
completed, the factory will be 210 feet in length
and 66 feet wide. The arrangements for the
manufacture are such that the logs start at the
west end of the building and travel the whole
length, changing their form at every step, so
that when they arrive at the east end they
would hardly be recognized, as they are then
matches all packed for market

'BARBARA FREITCHIE OF ARoosTooK. "A
correspondent of the North Star gives an in
terestng account of the wife of Nathan Baker,
a family which moved from Moscow, Somerset
county, to the Upper st. John sixty years ago
to engage in the lumber business. In tine they
reached point on the north side of the river,
six miles below Fort Kent, where she lived
sixty years, and at the age of ninety went to
Fort Fairfield short time since to spend the
rest of her days. The following is taken from
the Star:
Some years after Mr.. Bakers settlement,
Mr. Coffin and GEL. Irish Land Agents of
Maine and Massachusetts, visited Mr. Baker
and prevailed on him to purchase some land of
them, saying, "Ths territory was in dispute
between the English and American govern
ments, and they were for having it settled
Says this old lady, '.He bought some land, and
we being Americans, the next summer L made
with my own hands an American flag, and the
next 4th OF July with the help of Mr.. Walter
Powers, we raised it. For this act Mr.. Baker
was indicted for high treason, carried to Fred
ericton, tried, after being imprisoned ten
months, condemned, fined two hundred dollars
and then allowed to go Free" This was the
commencement of the Aroostook war. which
resulted in the establishing of the northeast
boundary line between us and the British
Provinces.
The raising of the stars and stripes was
| thought to be very dsloyal act by Mr. Baker
neighbors, and after he had been taken by the
Provincial authorities and carried off, they yery
naturally concluded that all his property was to
be confscated, and they Immediately put them
selves in possession of it, When Mrs Baker
saw this, with that true courage and heroism
that carried her through the wilderness, she
armed herself with broomstick, demanded a
return of her cattle and other property to their
places, and they obeyed She commanded
them to leave her premises "that she was not
brought up in the woods to be frightened at
owls" and they left
Although living so long out of her native
country, her love for it has not grown cold even
at her advanced age. She has now in her DOS
session quilt on which she has wrought the
American Eagle, and when she could not see
anything else to remind her of the country she
loved, she would look on this Quilt She has
manuscript of her wilderness life, and while
she cannot be allowed to draw a pension
though much more deserving than many that
do, why could not the state buy her manuscript
as reward for her faithfulness to her country
and love for the old flag?
Mr.. Baker has been dead several years. leav-
ing his widow with but little of this worlds

he was taken to Fredericton. think the state
paid him few hundred dollars; it was mere
trif1e in proportion to his loss, and while we
can do no more for Mr.. Baker, let us not forget
this barbara Freitchie" of AroostooE.

drove there was difference of twenty-five be-

not be passed over lightly and the young man

IN making up his accounts, and innocently re.
marked that as travel was light he wanted to
make good showing and so added one or two
to the actual count at each trip. The explana.
ton was sufficient, and the young man was
told to depart and sin no more.
