GOOD THING FOR COLD WEATHER.
Yesterday afternoon our reporter was invited
to visit the suburban residence of John B. Cur
tbs, to inspect Improvements made in this vi
cinity. Mr.. Curtis has purchased the spacious
residence of the late Thomas O'Brion in Deer
ing and fitted it up for his own use. W..
Pencil has jast put in new Lydie boiler, and
the house hereafter is to be heated by steam. In
every room he has put in radiators and guaran-
tees that the entire building will be kept warm
in the coolest of weather This boiler is be-
coming very popular, and is to be seen in some
of the best buildings in the city. 1t is made in
sections. Each section consists of main hori.
zontal cylinder, from the middle of the lower
half of which depends an upright cylin ler
These two cylinders are further connected by
curved pipes extending from opposite sides of
the vertical to the under side of the main cylin-
der. In order to connect the separate sections
and to afford proper steam room and water
supply, short horizontal cylinders, at right
angles to the main cylinder in direction, are
connected by necks, one to the main cylinder,
at the middle of its upper surface, and the
other to the bottom end of the vertical cyln der
These short cylinders are provided with fanges
the distance Of which apart is sufficient to pre-
vent the surfaces of any two sections, when
connected, from touching, except at the points
of connection. The boiler is set in brick work
and the fire is built directly under it.
The piping in this house is carefully done 80
that all water which forms. runs directly back
into the boiler instead OF cloggirg the pipe and
causing the unpleasant Swapping" so COM
mon in many buildings. Mr.. Pencil is very
busy now fitting up houses for the coming win
ter. He says he has yet to hear of one of these
boilers which has failed to give satisfaction.
He goes to Watervllle next week to put in two
of these boilers.

MIR. w. g. BniIey's Work.

Mr. Bailey's mission in Tennessee is one to
encourage social friendship between the North
and South, and to re-establish free intercourse
of trade between the two (once opposing) sec.
tions of the country. With the increased edu
cational interest which has been awakened by
his writings, his people will soon be able to
appreciate the generosity of the North and
return thanks for our liberal donations to them
in times of need, such as the present fever has
caused. Those who can would do we'll to assist
Mr. Bailey and let him continue his good work
in the South. We want peace; we desire
friendship in trade, aud we want all to be
educated.
The following is copy Of notice in the
Salem (Mass.) o oserver of August 18th, 1877
Among the martyrs of the anti-slavery cause
is VIM. s. Bailey of Nashville, Tenn, q GENTLE
man we'll and favorably known in Salem. He

is deserving help. He was one of the "old

dark and bloody ground of Kentucky, in the
"times that tried mems souls.'

A BOLD TRAMP.-Yesterday morning, as
one of our Commercial street produce dealers
was coming into town from Desring, he was
attaked By rough looking tramp who received
severe punishment. The gentleman referred
to started to walk into town at about six clock
and when near Capt, Coyle's residence a man
sprang upon him striking a telling blow. He
was staggered for moment, but soon rallied
sufficiently to return the compliment with in
terest to date. The tramp received payment in
the left eye. Itso happened that the mer-
chant, like Murch, was once a stene-cutter and
he retains some of his old muscle. On this
occasion it rendered him good service. After
knocking the would-be robber down he went
on his way, but not without bearing evidences
of the combat.

good show and if the weather is favorable
there will be good attendance.

The Portland cooperative stove Foun.

Some six weeks since an association under
the style of the Portland Cooperative Stove
Foundry Company started manufacturing
business in this city. They are estab-
lished in the building formerly occupied
by the Chinese Soap Company, near the Port
land Machine Works. The corporation has 100
shares, valued at $10O each. Every man en-
ployed in any department is required to pur-
chase one or more shares and he is a partner in
the concern to the extent of the shares held by
him. The men all, or nearly all, work by the
piece and the profits are divided in proportion
as the stock is held. This plan promises to be
very successful one. There are now fifteen
men interested and there will be five more
added. They employ a superintendent, Mr..
Farrow, who has general charge of the affairs
OF the concern, and book keeper to keep the
accounts
The foundry Is now well under way and thew
are turning out good work. Their first pro-
duction is the Falmouth range, so called. 1t
is built from new patterns and is said to be
one of the best ranges ever put into the mar
ket They have already sold quite a number
and all are highly pleased with them. If they
are as useful as ornamental, they will be sure
to meet with an immense sale.
The concern are at work on the patterns for
other stoves which will be manufactured BY
them. They propose to manufacture not only
every part Of their stoves in Portland, but will
also do light casting to order. f. & O. B. Nash
are selling agents for the goods manufactured
by this concern. They now have the Falmouth
range, advertised in this paper, on exhibition
at their store. There are many conveniences
about it worthy of the attention of any one
about to buy a range.

SUPERIOR Court. witnesses went to Litchfeld, last week, on the case, State vs, Adams. He was man who had lived here one or two years, and was bound over to Litchfield by Justice Wadhams, for an assault on Wm. Shavalear in April last. The Justice went to the bedside of Shavalear, and took his testimony. The old man testified that Adams struck him with his fist and a stick of wood in the night. Shavalear died in June, and at the trial in the Superior Court nothing was said to call out the testimony of Shavalear before the Justice, When it was too late to do this Mir. Hollister referred to the matter in his argument to the jury. The states Attorney re- piled that it was impossible to introduce such testimony and requested the Judge to charge the Jury to that effect, but, as I understood the Judge, he said that either party could have called out that testimony had they chosen to do so <. The Jury of course, returned a yer dict of not guilty.

 Ihave paper published in California, in which is poem of 20 stanza, written by Mrs s. B. Rankin entitled 'sThe Planets" and in- scribed to Prof. Hall, which closes thus. "And song on song breaks into spray,

DEFERRED LETTERS.
FALLS VILLAGE.

The Annual Cattle Show and Fair of the Union Agricultural Society was held at Falls Village on Sept 10th and 11th, the third day or Horse Trot being omitted. The fair could hardly be called success, and it was rather dreary to the old inhabitants to see the many empty stalls, the vacant places in the Mains Building, and the small attendance. The dis play of cattle was rather meagre. A pair of steers entered by Mir Charles Barnun attract ed considerable attention.
 Fruit was not very we'll represented save by apples, which were abundant and very fine, some mammoth vegetablea and the usual SUD- ply of bread, butter, cheese, honey, canned fruit and jelly were comprised in this depart ment.
 In the Ladies Department, though not as full as usual, the articles were of good class. Mr. Axelbry, taxidermist, of Lakeville, had a case of forty stuffed birds (the wild birds of the vi- cinity), which were very handsome. They did not present the stiff, formal appearance so common, but looked as if they might have just alighted on the little boughs where they rested
 The display of flowers was small, Mrs. E. Belden and Mrs. H. Shepperd being the prin- cipal exhibitors. The season has been very favorable to floral display, and the absence of it can only be attributed to want of inter- est.
 The display of fancy work was quite large and of good quality. Miss Ida Spur and Miss Mary Maltbie were the principal exhibitors of oil paintings Miss Spur had some specimens of pottery which were very pretty.
 MT Silvernail had quite a variety of his handiwork on exhibition, noticably an inlaid table of various kinds of wood, which was very handsome; also picture frames, case for wax flowers, &c. Mrs. B. C.. Cowdey enter eda case of millinery in fall styles.
 The usual side-shows were notably absent, also the usual number of refreshment stands. The Methodist Society had arefreshment table and there were one or two attended by huck- sters. A game of base ball was played on the second day, Falls Village against Ashley Falls; the victory resting with the Villagers. H.
