A New Portland Industry.

A new business has recently sprung up in
this city which promises to prove one of the
principal industries OF Portland. After q
patent was received on the safety rein holder
by Messrs. Richardson 8, Hall of this city, a
company was formed to manufacture them for
the trade The new company is known as the
Safety Rein holder Company and their offics is
over the Ocean Insurance Company ON Ex-
change street. The mandatory is in Printers
Exchange, and is under the charge of MI.
Charles P. Babcock, practical and expert
enced machnist. The holders are cast of
composition at the foundry of Charles A. Don
nell on Fore street, and are then sent to the
manufacturer to be finished, or rather to To
made, for the casting is but minor part Of
the work. Then the holes are drilled for the
screws, the holder polished as smooth as the
finest machinery and skilled workmen can
make them, the springs adjusted and put in
readiness for use. They are then sent to
Boston to be nickel plated. This last part,
however, is only temporary, as the whole work
is to be done in this city as soon as the proper
machinery can be obtained. But six or eigh'
men are now employed, but as soon as the
additional machinery is received they will
employ twice that number.
The business is at present in its infancy. The
company have already sent their goods into
every state in the Union, and have received
scores of letters praising the Article. Until
within few days they have been unable to fill
their orders, but in the future they hope to be
able to keep up with the demand.
The article is so simple, convenient and cheap
that it commends itself to all who have seen it,
and those who are using them are loud in their
praises. 1t is self-adjustiDg and consists simply
of spring on the dasher. Mr.. Richardson
used one of them on his carriages some time
before he obtained a patent. These arti-
ces can now be found at Halls rubber store, or
at the Office on Exchange street.

AUGURATIoN.-A gentleman of the Italian
persuasion was picking up precarious living
about town yesterday by the exhibition of lot
of trained Java sparrows. Above the cage
which confined the birds was this legend:
Ladies and Gentleman: Take advantages of
the occasion of these birds which with five
cents they will select from the several boxes
with their own bill planet of the future
which will tell you the history of your past life
as we'll as your future.
IL was worth more than the small fee to see
the birds select the brown envelopes and hand
them to the inquirer into the future. As re-
wards for their skill the Italian let them take
bread crumbs from his mouth.

 Friday morning. September If, h. dians made a raid on the Upper Mim- bres and succeeded in getting away with seven horses.
 During the past week Messrs. I. N. Cohen & Co. have received 11,0O0 pounds Clifton copper, shipping 12,OOO to the railroad during the same time.
 A militia company has been formed by the citizens of Mimbres and George town. One hundred names are enroll ed.

PHENIX, september 24.
 Camp meeting has been red-hot all the past week, and some few sinners have turned from their evil ways tc the paths of righteousness. There has not been much of an outpouring oi the spirit It is proposed, if the com missariat is supplied, to run the meet ing another week.
 We have had a new sensation here this week. A gay and festive gambol fer by the name of Colburn, has been whipping hIs wife, He did It up in fine style and it seems he has been do ing itfor some time past. He was caught at it this time and brought before Judge Rumburg. He, however, feeling that Judge R. would do him justice, swore the case out of his court, and Justice J. A. Young inflicted the enormous fine of 50 upon him.
 Our married men are now jubilant, as they now have a cheap amusement at their hands when they are annoyed. They have only to "put head " on their better halves, and punch her in the ribs, and kick her around a little, and for all the fun only have to pay S5. It beats camp meeting all to thun- der and Is equal to circus It may work disastrously to single men, as the girls will he cautious about marry. ing a man of courage and muscle, as none other would be able to whip a woman. Wite-whipping being a new thing among us, thought it only right that the balance of the Territory should know of the affair so as to establish our priority in that hightoned amuse. ment.

Mexico and the United States.

WASHINGTON, September 21-Assis- tant Secretary of State, Seward, stated
 this evening that tlns government is
 becoming more and more satisfied of the good intentions of the present ruler ot Mexico. He thinks there is great
 danger of the northern States of Mexi. co revolting against Diaz Two of the Generals under Beneyides, his Com mander-in-C Chief, have resigned on ac- count of the surrender of Mexican citi- zens for crimes not included in the Ex-
 tradition Treaty. This looks to Mr. Seward as the beginning of a move ment in tn border States against DiaZ, and concerning this he made very i'm portant statement, that if DiaZ made an honest effort to stop the border outrag- es and the border ruiiiGns, and those who sympathized with them begin a rebellion against him, the United States will feel in duty bound to assist him in
 putting down the rebellion. The Unit ed States, Mir. Seward said, would un- der no circumstances make war on Mex ico. All the government will do is to stop the border raids.
