what singular, although they profess to have no
articles Of faith, creed or discipline aside from the
Bible. With other evangelical demon ns tons
they believe that there is one God and one Lord
Jesus Christ, who died our sacrifice, and was
raised for justification. They believe that
Gods law as given on Sinia, is interchangeable, and
every precept still binding upon man; hence they
observe the seventh day Of the week, or Satur-
day, as the Sabbath They set no time for the
second advent of Christ. but think his coming is
near. They believe in the literal resurrection of
the dead, and think that God has foretold the his
tory of nations in prophecy.
Their faith embraces Bible temperance. To-
bacco and intox icating drinks are banished from
their society. To large extent they discard the
use of tea, coffee and rich food. They have
founded a lsrge.medical and surgical santarium
in Battle Creek, Mich. 1t is not conducted on a
UNCONVENTIONAL basis, and is largely pstronized
by suffering humanity from all parts of the Unit
ed States. Those desiring to know more of this

Manufactures of West WaterviIle.

The West Waterville correspondent of the
Mail speaks of the manufactures of that tow n
The extent of manufacturing in this village is not
realized by those unacQuainted with the interests
of the place; and think the following, relating
to our leading manufactures, Scythes and Axes,
will be interesting TO your readers.
There are three firms engaged in this business
first, the Dunn Edge Tool Co. which has been in
organization twenty years (about) and from feeble
beginning has grown into q large, prosperous and
wealthy Co., with reputation world wide. This
Company makes 10000 doz Grass Scythes, 1900
doz. Grain Scythes, Tor crades) 1900 doz. Grass
Hooks, and (about) 900 doz. of Corn and Straw
Knives. consuming 500 tons of hard COAL 800
bushels of Charcoal, 22j tons of iron 20 tons
of Steel and 100 tons Of grindstones. They employ
100 men, paying SIPS to $3.50 per day. yearly
pay roll amounting to S3j, 900; even these enor-
nous figures will be increased the next year, as
the Company resumes the manufacture of axes.
This Company is largely interested in the Somer-
set Railroad. John Aver, Esq, the general Agent,
being President of the road. The reader will
please bear in mind that the above figures do not
include paints, oils. vsrnishes, bronze and boxes.
for both Scythes and Axes, so mention it here,
that may not be obliged to repeat it with the
figures pertaining to the two other Companies.
Second, in point of security IS well as extent of
business, is the Hubbard 4 Blake Manufacturing
Co., (recently organized from the well known
firm of Hubbard. Blake & Coz This Company
makes 800 doz of Grass and Grain Scythes,
1000 doz. Axes; consumes over 400 tons of hard
coal. and 500 bushels charcoal. 100 tons of iron
for Scythes and - tons for Axes (all Norway
ron,) and 20 tons of steel; 100 tons of grind
stones are used, and so men are employed; the
yearly pay rolls amounting to over $4,000.
Lastly, in extent of business. is the firm Of
Emerson, Stevens 4 Co., who manufacture 1900
doz. Scythcs requiring so tons of iron and IL tons
of steel 200 tons of hard coal, and 800 bushel Is
charcoal, IS tons Of grindstones ;-25 to 80 men
are employed, exclusive OF agents and office. and
the yearly pay roll amounts to nearly Sl5, 0G0.
The last two companies have "sort Of grown
out of the first or rather, the second was formed
by parties who had long worked the first; and the
third was started out Of the second. Ofcourse one
will understand that manufactures of the ab owe
magnitude constitute the chief business of
the place. and such is the fact, though there are
other large interests.
The companies have reason to be proud of the
goods they manufacture, and the people here, that
their material interests are so largely advanced
thereby.
