Manchester Locals.
Farmers have harvested nearly all tier crops.
Grapes are plenty; nearly every vine has borne
itself full of the delicious fruit.
Nearly everybody has been attending the fairs
the past week, which have occurred in neighbour

The weather is splendid aud the air s pure,
sweet and delicious. The woods are robed in
their most gorgeous iaiment, and everybody
seems happy.
Thieves are reported to be at work in North
Manchester Several farmers have had stolen
small amounts of corn, potatoes, oats, and other
articles.
The first hoary frost of the season occurred on
Saturday night; II caused the squash, pumpkin,
and other vines TO appear in mourning.

Gardner IocaI Nems.

Workmen commenced laying brick for the new
school building Wednesday, and if the weather
will admit the work, will be pushed rapidly for
ward to completion, as those having this part of
the work in hand, can do rapid work as well as
good work. Mr.. Look has his lumber on the spot
for laying floors and will keep his part of the
work at the heel Of the other. 1t was a great
mistake that the building of this house was de-
ayed so long. The walls might have been up

The long drouth has affected all interests and
every branch of business has suffered more less in
consequence. Even the paper mills, each by them
selves occupying dam, stensibly having all the
water afforded by the stream, have not been able
Tor the past three months, to do e-haf the work
possible for them to do. The reason is not that
the Cobbossee did not supply the water sufficient
Tor running their wheels, but because they we've
obliged to let down the water faster than they
needed 1t, to furnish tue numerous wheels on the
lower dam. Something ought TO be done to keep
back the surplus water IN the tweaty ponds
which feed the Cobhossee stream, for emergencies
ike the present. Until this is accomplished our
manufacturing interests will be put TO great H.
conveience, year by year, and ST. fer material loss
thereby. The rains OF Tuesday night has helped
somewhat. There is at least NO longer cry of
dry wells.
1t is refreshing in the worst of dull tine to
visit the shop OF p. c. Holmes X son and see the
