The Jail W. kshop..
We understand from Mr.. HAYES, one Ct the
county commissioners. that several of the prison
ers in the kennebec jail viii be set at work in Il
few days in the Jail workshops connected with the
Institution. As We have before stated, Mr.. Dun
ham, who is to have charge of the shops, and one
or two assistants, have been employed for several
days, preparing the stock ftr the hands ot the
workmer.
There are three shops Of equal size, about 90 by
- feet esch built inside the Jail wall, Gu the
north side, the entrance TO the outside world be
ing from the side fronting Court street. Tue fist
room contains most of the machinery used in the
manufacture Of boots--a racer. fol- cutting the up
pers; sole die for cutting soes; way thread
sewing machine; rolling and sewing machines
Benches and shelves are conveniently arranged at
one end of the shop, and all the convcncnces have
been provided. The room on the second floor
viii be used boltoming and heeln. shop
Three benches, with capacity for five wo,kmen
to each bench, are now in and there is room for
two or three more, so that twenty-five or thirty
men may be worked here. The third and last room
has capacity for some twenty or more workmen
and win he used for the purposes ofturning, crimp-
ing and DJAiag. The three shops have capacity
for about fifty hands, but probably there will
err be that number in Kenuebec Jail at o2c time
The shops are connected by stairways, and the
prisoners entrance from the main Jail in the
ond ard third stories. At these entrances the pris-
oners will file in, under the direction OF guard
and take their positions in the places assigned
them. The prisoners, we understand, in the work
ahop, or elsewhere, are TO he under the charge of
the Sheriff or his Deputy The shops are lighted
by three large windows, and are apparently well
adapted to the purposes for which they were in
tended 1t is the intention of Mr.. Durham to
manufacture first class boots-boots that will sell
themselves in any market, and not produce a
worthless lot of "slop" or ''shoddy stuff.

The delightful weather Of the past few days,
says the Portland Advertiser, gives assurance that
at last summer is approaching, and the proprictos
of summer resorts arc brushing up, preparatory to
the coming season. The indications are that there
will be an unusual tendency of the wave of sum
mer tourists toward our own state, and that the
hard times will seriously affect the more fashion,
able watering places. People who desire to yacate
the not walls of their city homes during the heated
term, are looking for less expensive quarters and
they naturally turn toward Maine. If they desire
to be by the sea- there hosts Of places along
our extensive coast where comfortable homes may
be had at reasonable price,, while those who pre-
fer inland resorts can find many such among our
hills and by the sides of the numerous delightful
