Easter Sunday was good day for Main
Street M. E. church, Gorham. The church
was decorated with flowers, tie most beautiful
and fragrant, which were skillfully and taste
fully arranged. All the services were appro-
pirate and interesting, beginning at o'clock a.
m. with an unusually well-attended love feast,
and ending with the sacrament of the Lords
supper. But what made the day doubly en-
ioyable was the fact that for the first time in
its history, the church was entirely free from
debt. just before the morning services it was
announced that the small sum of $50 was need.
ed to meet all the liabilities of the church and
parish, which was promptly raised, when the
result was announced by the pastor, together
with the several sums during the year for
church debts, current expenses, salaries and
benevolent causes. The congregation and
friends of the Methodist church here are de-
serving great credit for their liberality, not
withstandiag the hard times; but the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they are for once free
from all liabilities is to them better than any
words of commentator.

Maine Business Notes,

A correspondent of the Kennebec Journal in
North Wayne writes that since the North
Wayne Scythe Co. suspended operations in
1870, business has been very quiet in our vii
lage. Its inhabitants, depending principally
on the water power company for employment,
were compelled to seek it in other places, and
for the last six years North Wayne might we'll
be called the deserted village, not one tenement
in five being occupied. The water power af-
ter changing owners several tipoes, has finally
been purchased by Messrs. Harvey and San
born of Augusta, and J. f. Taylor of that vii
lage, who propose to put in operation immedi.
atey an extensive paper mill. A portion of
the power has been leased to Mr. Law of
Bethel, who will engage in the manufacture of
clothes pins, using about five cords of lumber
per day, aud employing thirty hands. At a
citizens meeting last Tuesday evening, it was
volunteered on their part to put the buildings
ahd dam in proper condition to receive the ma
chinery of both parties, thus expressing to
them the hearty cooperation OF the citizens in
their enterprise.
