Nix. EDlroR:-The following have written as
something that would do well for a temperance
song at our temperance meetings. 1t is designed
to be dramatic IN character and was suggested
by what myself saw in war times viz: a Young
man seized with the delirium fremens while at
tempting to drink the health Of his associates in a
bacchanalian song. The meter is adapted to the
song OF "Gideon's Band, and the Latin chorus
can be made very effective by many voices

The Lewiston Journal says "The Auburn shoe
factories are doing lively business. The lead
ing dealers or their representatives are in Boston
where there is goody delegation of buyers.
The demand which is being made by some manu-
fscturers for an advance upon duplicate orders is
causing little excitement among the large job
beers at the West and it is expected that this in
crease. taken in connection with the fact that the
fall demand for boots and shoes is going to be
much larger than was first anticipated, may lead
to the return of many buyers who supposed they
had placed their orders and gone home for the
season.. These gentlemen now find that their
augmented fall trade will necessitate the placing
of additional orders and this only be satisfac
torily done in many cases by personal visit to
the market"
