A New Industry in CIarkGvilIe.

\ New Industry IN ClarktVlAie.
Messrs. O. +. Davidson and A.
A. johnson have exhibited to us
the working model of their new in
vention recently patented by them.
1t appears to us a marvel of mechan-
ical ingenuity. 1t is a machine for
the manufacture of paper bags.
These it makes with wonderful rap
idity and accuracy, and in strength
and durability they are believed to
be far superior to anything which
has been previously turned out
either by hand or by machine. The
distinguishing merit of the bags so
manufactured is that they are seam
less at the bottom and strengthened
i'm that part by from three to four
layers of paper. Handled right we
believe that "there's millions in it. "

Reform school ENHANCEMENT.

The first grade boys of the State Reform
School about eighty in number, who have been
enjoying the Injury Of camping OUT on
Little Chebeague Island marched through the
Cay yesterday with full ranks and smiling
faces on the way back to the school. They
were encamped on the island eight days, being
allowed the entire freedom of the southern
half where they played their games free from
all restraint. They have had plenty of boating,
bathing and fishing. Their foot, wheelbarrow
and tub races and rope pulls were productive
of much sport and base balls and foot balls
were a never ending source of amusement.
They have several base ball clubs and some
very interesting games were played.
Last Saturday was great day for the boys.
Five or six hundred persons from Portland
visited the island taking with them Chambers
Band. If there is anything that boys delight
10 1t is brass band, and reform school boys
are no exception. Several of the gentlemen
present who were interested in the boys offered
prizes for the best runners, and some very
good foot races were the result. The boys
assisted as walters at the clam bake and we
suspect that the liberal merchants gave some
of them substantial reward for their services.
When the company left the tables the lads
were invited to finish the rest of the bake
which invitation they accepted with pleasure.
Tuesday the boys were treated to a clam
bake Of their own which to them must have
been novelty and very agreeable one judging
by the way the clans, green corn, eggs and
Holsters disappeared. 1t was prepared by the
skillful Capt. jerks, and better bake was
never made. Albion Little, Esq, of the
Board of Trustees, WIN. e. Gould, Esq, and
about sixty invited guests were present and
enjoyed the occasion very much.
During the eight days that the boys have
been encamped upon this island they have
behaved with the utmost propriety, and there
was not even an attempt to escape. This is
the second encampment that the boys have
enjoyed, and so successful have they been thai
it is probable it will become an established
custom.
These excursions which the reform schoo
boys are allowed to take do something more
than simply please them, they are benefit
morally and physically. Whatever tends tt
make boys cheerful and contented opens
the way for moral improvement. 1t is by thus
encouraging the boys who really try to d.
well that the discipline Of the reform school il
made SO easy and the severer measures so
largely done away with.
