Saturday with 1900 bales of cotton
the Gov. Allen Tuesday night with a
slim cargo; the Garry Owen, Capt
Bouchman, from Camden, Wednesday
night, with all the cotton she could
carry. The Kate Kinney, Capt. Bur-
ton, and the Willie, Capt. Trinidad,

turned over her cotton to the Allen al
Trenton, returned to Camden.
The river, having fallen several feet
is again ascending it's banks, and a big
river may be expected.

Mother Goose and Others.

The entertainment this evening at Grand
Army Hall Mechanic building) for the benefit
of the Swedenborgan church will be one of
the brightest aud prettiest of the season. The
matter is in charge of ladies' whose care is
guarantee of the best taste and spirit. The
Martha Washington Reception will be exclu
sively an affair of the children, who will be
prettily dressed in the costume of Washingtons
period and will dance the minuet with all the
formal airs and gracss of their elders. Great
pains have been taken in dressing and training
these little people, who will undoubtedly do
credit to their instructors and furnish a most
attactive spectacle to the patrons of the enter
tainment. The pantomime of Glove in Am
bush,' which was so successful in the late
statuary and art exhibition, will be given with
livelness and will be funny. Mother Goose
will be honored by the representation by
tableaux and pantomimes of her immortal
ballads, which will be sung by a trained chorus
behind the scenes to illustrate tie action on
the stage. This affords field fol no end of
amusing situations-a field which will be thor
oughly cultivated on this occasion, for the
managers are ladies who will let no opportunity
for making an effective point escape their at
tention. 1t may be confidently assumed that a
most agreeable evening will be enjoyed by those
who attend. 1t will be desirable to 60 in good
season as the attractiveness of the programme
and the smallness of the price of admission
(25 cents) will ensure an early occupancy of all
the seats in the hall.

GRAND CONCERT. -To-night the first grand
concert of the Portland Music School will take
place at Congress Hall on Congress street. We
something worth listening to, if we may judge
by the programme, which contains very
choice selection of good music, and we can
safely promise good evenings entertainment
to all those who will attend The pupils of the
P. M. S. have made rapid, and we may say,
astonishing progress under the direction of
Prof. E. j. Dooley, for the certainty of which
assertion, you may convince yourselves by as
sisting at the concert tonight. The efforts of
Prof. Dooley for the advancement of musical
culture among us, deserve the warmest encour-
agement We feel certain that but few will
miss this event in Portland's musical days.
Tickets and reserved seats will be found at
McGowan's book store, under Congress
Hall, and also at the music stores The ad-
mission fee is very small, being only % cts.
and 80 cents for reserved seats. We give the

Business Notes.

The Watervie Mail in speaking of the pro-
gress made towards opening the factory in that
village says that the sceptical old resident who
didn't believe factory would ever be built in
Watervlle, may hear the click of the shuttle,
if he will step into the room now, where Over
seer M. G. Needham is exercising his machines
preparatory to active work.
The following is record of the number of
barrels of porgies caught this year by the YES
sells belonging to Church 8, Hathaway of Bris-
tol up to August Goth: Steamer Jemima
Boomer, 10000; steamer j. Church, 1865;
steamer A. M. Hathaway, 15,411; steamer Os-
prey, 10,167s; steamer S. Brothers, 8,52S1;
schooner Dart, 1854; schooner Antelope, 9.746Ah,
The steamer Jemima Boomer is new, this be.
ing her first season, and is the largest vessel
engaged in porgy catching. Sluce August Goth
she has taken II 900 barrels, and the other ves-
sells have done about the same relatively, to
their catch previous to that date. Church &
Hathaway's factory is the largest on the coast.
The agent Of the Sanford mill writes that an
item has been going the round of the press to
the effect that there is plenty of employment
at Sanford Corner, and scarcity of laborers.
He desires us to inform the public that the
mills are full and several people there desiring
work which they cannot get. Scribblers who
thoughtlessIy give currency to such items do a
good deal of harm.
The Hobson mill at Wiscasset is now run
ming night and day, giving employment to
eighty-fve men. They cut 1900 sugar box
shocks each day, and use 10000 feet of lumber
every twenty hours,
The Sunrise says that the Presque Isle
starch factory has closed work for the season,
having made It's tons of starch. Potatoes have
not made as much starch per bushel as last
year on account of the constant rain of the
summer.
Our Springvale correspondent says that the
shoe manufacturers Of that village are about
closing the most prosperous season for several
gears. A portion of the time of late they have
been obliged to run evenings to fill orders The
sale-work business is quite good, r. A. Kemp
ton and Weeks & Cheney receiving and dis
| tributing large quantities weekly. The Spring
| vale Mill is running on full time, with large
force.
The Calais Times says that it has been the
| belief, until a few days since, that our lumber
| manufacturers would curtail operations in the
| woods as much as possible, and that the guam
tity of logs cut would be very limited; but the
indications are now brighter. Men who had
| given up hope of entering the woods this win
ter have secured chauces, aud the prospects are
that logging operations on the st. Croix waters
will be quite extensive, although of course, not
coming up to an average year. There seems to
be a confidence among dealers, based upon
what facts we do not fully know, that there is
to be an advance in all descriptions of lumber
/ another season.
