BANK OF PORTLAND.
The End of This Matter at Last.

Mr.. Franklin ]. Rollins, the assignee of the
| Bank of Portland, met the creditors at the
| office of the Register in Bankruptcy yesterday
| morning, and made his final report. He stated
that he had carefully gone through with the
books and traced out where the money had
gone. as far as it was possible. From Mr.. Roll
lins's statement it appeared that Mr.. w. N.
| Goold. the manager, was defaulter to the
Second National Bank, at the time of its disso-
| luton, to the sum of $4,000 In order to pre-
vent prosecution on charge of embezzement
he conceived the plan of continuing that bank
in private form, for at least two years, when
the statute of limitations would save him from
that scandal. In little over two years. by
vouchers. Mr. Rollins showed that Mr.. Goold
had expended for his personal uses $4,000. and
this sum did not include incidentsls, for which
no vouchers could be found. In fact, in Sept
1873, little over one year from the time Mr..
Goold started the Bank of Portland, he was a
failed man. He had spent every cent of the
depostors money. At this juncture he induc-
ed Mr., Moses b. Clements to become deposI.
tor, and by that means, and by giving out that
he was partner, he succeeded in tiding over
Clements's capital which went the way of the
other. Indeed in Sept 1873, while he bad spent
$4,000 since starting the bank, the amount of
deposits up to that time had been but $21 1000
and Mr.. Clements's $4,000 proved godseud.
Mr.. Rollins succeeded in disposing of the as
sets so as to realize the sum of $29 1854 % which
is on deposit in the Canal National Bank The
liabilities amount to $82, 4S6.11. The creditors
number 81, and they voted to declare divi-
dend of 80 per cent.
The creditors expressed themselves we'll
pleased with the excellent manner in which
Mr.. Rollins had conducted the affairs, and they
were generally surprised to find that so large
percentage would be received. 1t is generally
thought that Mr.. Goold cleared $4,000 when he
left Portland to take up his residence in st
John, where he now resides.

VIOLENT HAIL SToRM.-About o'clock
yesterday afternoon, violent hail-storm at
tended with heavy thunder and lightning pass
ed over this city. The storm was apparently
more severe in the western part of the city than
in the eastern. The streets in places were bad

trees and glass. Two hours after the shower
passed over, quantities of hail remained in the
cutters Of some of the up town streets. The
fine fruit gardens of Messrs HI. P. Storer, T.

badly damaged.

The EDITORIAL ExCURsIoN.-The Commit

How 10 Lay Shingles.

Not one.half the persons who lay
shingles when making Il roof on a
building have any correct ideas in
regard to making a roof absolutely
rain tight during a driving storm of
rain. We have frequently seen men
shingling, who, when they would
meet a worthless shingle, say once in
laying two or three courses, would
lay this poor shingle among the
good ones, saying: at is only one
poor single, one single cannot
make bad roof" But one poor
shingle will make a leaky one If
first.ratc shingles are employed, and
one poor one is worked in among ey-
cry one hundred, that roof might as
well have been without any shingles.
Ifany poor shingles are to be used,
let them all be laid together near the
upper part of the roof, The best of
shingles will not make roof if they
are not properly laid, while they
would make an excellent roof if laid
MS shingles should be laid.

Whipping Horses.

Prof. Wagner, in writing upon this
subject, says; Many think they are
doing finely, and are proud of their
success in horse-training by means
of severe whipping, or otherwise
.arousing and stimulating the pass
lions, and then through necessity
crushing the will through which the
resistance is prompted. No mistake
can he greater than this, and there is
nothing that so fully exhibits the
ability, judgment and skill of the
real horscman, as the care displayed
in winning instead of repelling the
action of the mind. Although it
may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should always be APP
piled judiciously and great care
should be taken not to arouse the
passions or excite the will to obstin-
acy. The legitimate and proper use
of the whip is calculated to operate
upon the sense of fear almost entire
ly. The aifectionate and better ma
ture must-be appealed to in training
horse as well as in traininga child.
A rcproof given may be intended for
the good of the child, but if only
the passions are excited, the object
is depraving and injurious. This is
vital principle, and can be disro-
garded in the management of sensi-
tive and courageous horses only at
the risk of spelling them. l have
known many horses of naturally
gentle character to be spoiled by
whipping once, and the one horse
that was made vicious by being
struck with a whip once while stand
ing in his stall.

The Stops.

How common is it for the kitchen
authorities in n farmhouse to throw
the slops on the ground, just outside
the kitchen door, and perhaps with
in six feet of the well, Ihavo known
of a clearinghouse opidcmicof diar.
rhW which could be traced to no 9th.
or source than the contamination Of
the wcll-water by a shallow-pool Of
sun exposed, foul smelling slops, a
ccmented cistcrn should be built
about seycnty.live or a hundred feet
from the house, and a distance from
the we'll, and to this all the kitchen
slops, and vegetable waste should be
conducted through suitable pipe or
conduit. From the cistern these
matters may be fed to the pigs, OF
thrown upon the ground at q proper
distance from the house.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Vines for Winter Decoration.

1t may at present seem to be early
to be preparing floral ornaments for
indoor decorations; but six months
beforehand is hardly too soon to com
mence setting out vines and cuttings
for this purpose.
It is a matter Of course, that pots
should be used, and then the plants
need not be disturbed in the fall
The best of soil, fine dark leaf mold
from the woods, should be used; If it
be mixed with sand, your plants are
sure to thrive with ordinary care. If
leaf mold cannot be obtained, use
garden loan mixed with sand; but in
this case water the plants freely with
liquid manure. If started early your
vines will have made good growth
by autumn, and be ready with the
best of their foliage and flowers when
brought into the house. Bcsure that
they are not exposed to frost, fo- the
slightest touch will check their
growth, and make them miserable
and sickly all winter.
In choosing plants suited for this
purpose select only these species
which will succeed with ordinary &C.
commodations and treatment. 1t is
useless to spend time and strength
on delicate plants that can only be
brought to perfection by greenhouse
heat and moisture.

Early Printing In America.

The puritans evidently believed
that a free press was necessary to the
existence of a free people. Eighteen
years after the landing on the bleak
coasts of New England the Pilgrim
Fathers established the first printing
press on this side of the Atlantic in
1888, and at Cambridge in 1859 the
first publication was made by Daye,
and was entitled "The Frcemen's
Oath" Daye had been brought over
by Joseph Glover, rich monochrome
ist preacher, who also brought him Il
stock of printing material. An old
sea captain, one William Pierce, cdi
ted and Almanac in the same year,
and in the following the Revs, Weld
and Eliot produced "Tho Psalms New
ly Tuned Into Meter" which passed
through seventy editions in one
hundred and fourteen years, and was
also reprinted in England and Scot
land. Some other books of a religious
nature were issued, and in 1641 u
book called "The Body of Liberty"
containing one hundred colonial laws
appeared. Daye's work was full of
typographical errors, but he was SUI
porscdcd by Samuel Green, mistaken
ly called the first printer in America,
for we find that Dayo obtained a grant
for three hundred acres of land in
Massachusetts, for "bcing the first
who set up printing"
Then comes the poems of Ann
Bradstreet, wife of the Governor, and
several other smaller pious works,
In 1858 Eliot printed the catech.
ism in the Indian language, and in
1854 the printing of all laws of the
court begun, The first American
edition of the Bible was issued in
1861 and 1868,
The first copyright was passed in
1872, STIMULATING that no printer
should print or sell any more copies
than were agreed on, and paid for
by the owner, and the next enact.
mcnt secured the copyright for seven
years.

sweotcned milk or cream, with a lit
tie nutmeg or other flayoring added.
CHEAP yINEGAR.-rake quanti-
tity of Irish potatoes wash them I'M
til they are thoroughly clean, place
in a large vessel, and boil them un-
til done. Drain off carefully the wa
ter they are cooked in, straining it
if necessary, in order to remove eve
ry particle of the potato. Then put
this potato.water in a jug or keg,
which set near the stove or in some
place where it will be kept warm,
and add one pound of sugar to about
two-and,a-half gallons of water, a
little hop yeast, and small portion
of whiskcy, Let it stand three Or
four weeks, and you will have excel
lent vinegar at a small cost.
D1su-wAsH1NG WITHOUT SOAP
Have your dish-water hot, and add
very little milk, as this softens
the water, gives the dishes a nice
gloss, and preserves the hands. 1t
removes the grease, even that from
beef, and yet no grease is ever found
floating on the water as when soap
is used. The stone vessels should be
set on stove with little water in
them when the victuals are taken
from them; thus they are hot when
one is ready to wash them and the
grease is easily removed. Tin ware
keeps brighter longer cleansed in
this way than by using soap or
securing. The habit so many have
acquired of securing tins is a waste
full policy, as the present style of
tin ware will not bear it.
When making bread reserve en-
ough dough to fill a quart basin; add
to the dough one egg, piece OF but
ter size of an egg, one-half cup Of
either English currants, chopped raj
sins, or dried whortleberries. Mix
the whole thoroughly with the hands,
adding enough -four to- prevent it
sticking to the hands. Mold it as
for a loaf of bread; set it in two
quart basin to rise. When it is lev
el with the top of the pan it should
be baked like loaf of bread The
above may be varied byadding sugar,
and carraway seeds instead of fruit,
when the dough should be rolled out
and cut as for cookies, set to rise in a
warm place for half an hour, and
then bake.
