Maine Business Notes.

The highest price paid for ice on the Kenne-
bee this season has been 81. so per ton on board
vessel.
The Bodwell Granite Co. of Vinalhaven
have received a contract to furnish a large
quantity of stone to build bridge in the vicini-
ty OF Boston. The stone is to be taken from
the wharf quarry and work is to be commend
ed Immediately.
The steamers from the Penobscot to Portland
and to Boston are doing good business fav-
Ored by the mild weather, and make trims
about as regularly as in summer
The Calais Times says the teams in the
woods have been doing wonderful business
the past month. The amount of snow ha s
been just about right, and it is said to have
been thus far, ON the whole, the most favorable
winter for logging operations that has occurred
for number of years. The amount of lumber
pat in will greatly exceed the calculations, and
will be much more than is generally desired by
manufacturers.
The amount of lumber manufactured at Ma
chias during 1875 was 18045,0O0 feet,-142, 600
less than in 1874. The largest manufacturers
were Pope Bros. & Co., who sawed $500, 900.
The next largest manufacturers were as fol-
lows: A. Hemenway, w. q. Holway, Vose &
Talbot G. Perry and l.. Holway Pope Bros.
& Co. also manufactured 100000 feet at
Whitpeyvile. Eight million feet of lumber
are piled on the wharves in Maohias.
MessIs. Edward d. Peters & Co.'S lumber
circular for February, says, .''The demand for
lumber during the past month has been unusu-
ally light, even for this season of the year. The
continued increase in Western freights has
prevented shipments to any large extent from
that quarter. Some Eastern spruce has come
in, mostly by cars, to fill dimension orders.
The present month will not probably witness
any change in the market, SO little snow in the
woods will curtail operations to large extent
in the West, and we do not, from present re-
ports that come to us, anticipate any further
decline in Western. About two-thirds the
amount of last years stock will be cut in the
State of Maine, and this will, we believe, be
full enough to supply the demand"

READING.-The entertainment, consisting of
reading and Rotations, given by Mr.. Walter
Fobes at the Common Council rooms on Fri
day evening, to his pupils and their friends,
was of more than usual interest. The selec-
tons were not dramatic, as on a former occa.
sion, but were chiefly of that quiet, undemon-
strative character which requires the height of
art to hold the attention of the listener. Mr..
Fobes, who is a graduate of the Boston School
of Oratory, showed that perfection of style
which makes one forget the reader in the ideas
read. At both readings he has gained the
warmest praise of all present. He is giving
lessons IN elocution to many of the public
school teachers and Others and from their
reports we should judge him to be very success

GENERAL MATTERS.

Inc land scrip investigation will commence
Monday evening with the examination of a
number of gentlemen who have been summon
ed. In the state documents of 1864 is a letter
from Gov. Andrew of Massachus etts to Gov.
Cony, suggesting a plan for appointing an
agent by the New England states to dispose of
scrip to settlers or in such small lots as would
bring dollar an acre. The letter was sent to
the Legislature but that body having decided to
establish an independent college, the proceeds
of the land by immediate sale were needed.
1t costs over $4,000 year to have our wild
animals killed. 1t is said that shrewd fellows
find it more profitable to raise bears than
sheep. s.
