RuSineSS Notes.

The drouth prevails to a considerable extent
at Kents' Hill. Mills have suspended opera
ton in that vicinity, and may not be able to
resume until spring. Operatives are thrown
out of employment, causing considerable dis
appointment to many, and no doubt distress to
some.
The Directors of the First National Bank of
Lewiston have voted to increase their capital
stock from 100000 to 100000. The Bank
now has surplus of $4,000. This will make
an aggregate capital of $4,000.
About two miles west of Unity village is
little settlement known as "the Mills" which
furnishes employment to ten or twelve men the
year round, and wool for the village. They are
owned and operated by A. S. Pendleton, A. M.
Newell, 81. Gowen and others. Mr.. Pendleton
is engaged in the manufacture of excelsior, of
which he ships annually about 100 TONS at
prices from $40 to $50 per ton. He is now at
work on contract for 100000 feet of spool
timber consuming 250 cords of wood in the
manufacture of the same, the price OF which is
500 per M. He is also preparing to manufac-
ture 1000 drag rakes the coming season in time
for the summer trade. Mr.. Newell was engag
ed quite extensively in making chess boxes last
season, supplying all the factories in Waldo
county and many outside. He is also engaged
in the manufacture of axe boxes, long lumber,
cement slaves, pickets, headings, &C., while
Mr.. Gowen brings up the rear with his busy
little single machine, making music all the
day. There are also five gristmills within three
miles of the village.

ICE EMBARiO.
The deep sea wave of arctic soundings is
now breaking here. 1t Tipped the harbor with
seven inch ice around its mouth, which, how
ever, has kept we'll open to the sea, through
out; while the docks, wharves and mill ways,
have been fast frozen for more than one week.
Navigation is, however, open now to HOB
sons Mills and wharf The ice embargo has
embarrassed and dulled milling operations;
Stu1gis shut down, but Hobson is running
against freezing; but with the west Inoia
freights in readiness for charter arrival from
the great commercial ice-bound ports, west and
south.
Business, pleasure churches-all are afhlct-
ed with chills, but Temperance, which now is
here in fever heat.
TEMPERANCE.
The adroit and :onguey Benson electrified
the crowd last night, and drew out the dime
plasters on his life and its eclipses, as If he
were regular dentist with gold-plated set
in view; and it is hoped the bar and the drink
ing holes and pocket-b bottle will be broken and
empted before the plugging time of the April
term of the Supreme Court shall come round.
Since the adjournment of the October term,
rum has run riot in Wiscasset as broken heads
and shins and the peace of the state, can tes-
tify, of which, it is hoped the sheriffs and at
torney of the county will take due notice.
BIBLE STUDY.
In relief of the dark moral shadings the
county sabbath School Convention" held
lively and successful sitting on Tuesday and
Wednesday last in the vestry of the Congre-
gational church and was fully attended and
ably managed. This organization promises to
be one of our most active Outstanding
motors, in the development of peaceful frater-
nizng evangelical cooperation, and effective
in its workings at the foundations of our social
and religious structure where Baptists, Metho-
dsts and Congregationalsts delve together for
the jewels of life.
The Bible is, and has ever been, the great
humanizing and elevatng engine of human
life and society, and wherever its forces of
truth and influence have had a natural play,
humanity has budded and blossomed, and been
fruitful in goodness and the higher types of
human capabilities. S.

AS the season returns we welcome the an
nouncement of our regular Portland Institution,
the annual calico ball-a pleasant, sensible
sociable and popular Observation-Disclosures
ing much pleasure with much good. For the
last three years the proceeds of this ball have
almost entirely supplied the working force OF
one of our oldest and best charities-the home
m ission of the Preble Chapel. Those few per-
sons W no heard the interesting report of Mr..
P helan at the First Parish church two Sun
days' since need no assurance of the good
W ork thus accomplished; but for the informal
ton of others we would allude to the cases OF
want and encouragement which have been
met and cheered by its timely aid: .'The hum
CRY have been fed, the naked have been
clothed, the sick have been visited, and to the
poor the gospel has been preached. Garments
and bedding have been supplied from the
''sick drawer to those in need-lent or given
as the case requred-and medicine and food
have been furnished from the ''poors' purse.
In many cases 'the wolf has been kept from

plied-every case being carefully Investigated,
every dollar faithfully spent. Children have
been cared for in the Sunday and singing
schools, temperance has ebeen. inculcated and
enforced. and many streams of good have COZ
stantly flowed from this quiet and unpretend-
ing mission. These many springs OF truly
Christian work must be fed from some unfail-
ing source, and the annual calico ball has, been
this fountain head. Thus again the Preble
Chapel makes its modest appeal to its friends
and patrons Only once year is its voice
heard in our midst, and then to give notice of
its cheerful entertainment. It offers us the
finest hall in the state brilliantly lighted,
Chandler's full quadrille band land we all
know what that promises) alternate, round and
square dances, to suit all tastes, the refresh
ment table with unusual attractions, and a
comfortable home apparel, involving neither
expenditure or trouble 1t is the desire OF the
managers that all the ladies shall wear calico,
but if not at least plain home dress. Per-
fnd a nice supper, and, by merely laying aside
their outer garments, can join in the dance.
The only restriction is upon those VINO Gnonse
be in order on the floor OF the hall, but may be
allowed in the galleries.
We hope there may be merry hall full and
that the needed funds for this good work may
be amply and generously supplied.

The Northwestern National Insurance
Company.

The statement of the Northwestern Nitional
Insurance Company of Milwaukee is an ad-
mirable one. This is the Company OF which
Hon. Alex. Mitchell (the level headed Con-
gresham and exponent of genuine Western
enterprise) is President, and for its vice presl-
dent and executive manager that wonderful
worker Hon. E. D. Holton, whose name is
tower of strength. The Northwestern's paid
up capital is $500, 900; the assets on January
1, were 1896, 4S1.34. Its securities are all OF a
highly substantial character and its owners and
managers are among the most reputable and
solid citizens of Milwaukee. 1t distinguished
itself by squarely facing and promptly paying
$25OOO0 of losses in the Chicago fire of 1871,
and from that day its character has been more
than ever irreproachable, and its record OF the
straightest kind Milwaukee may justly be
proud of this substantial and well managed
company, while at the same time the company's
patrons at the East may safely rely upon the
trustworthness of the policies they hold. The
agency in this city is in the hands of Messrs
w. D. Little & Co., which is sufficient guar
antee that the interests of both the policy
holders and the company will be well cared

BowDo1N CoLLEGE.-A largely attended
meeting of the students was held Saturday eve
ming ia the rooms Of the Base Ball Associa-
ton, for the purpose of making arrangements
for the coming Athletic season. The remarks
made by many of the students showed plainly
that the interest had not diminished during the
past winter months. Since the close of the
last season $15OOOO, $50 of which was raised at
this meeting has been subscribed for the Base
Ball Nine, some of the members of which are
now at work i'll the gymnasium. Boating is
also receiving much attention. The members
of the Junior class have raised sufficient money
to provide themselves with boat. The Sopho-
mores have raised 90, and large portion
of the class is yet to be heard from, while
rs, although the smallest class in college will
put as fine boat as any into the river as soon
as the ice has disappeared. Every class will
then have boat and it is the intention to old
