Mrs Cotton of West Gorham writes to the
St. Adams Wt.) Messenger that there is not
one particle of truth in the statements pub
lished in the Beekeeper's journal, concerning
her neglect to make returns for money sent to
her. She says that she is the inventor of the
Comfortable hive" whereby swarming is con-
trolled with as much certainty as the increase
of cattle, sheep or swine that it is so destructive
to their business that they have resorted to all
manner of lying against her business; that she
always renders value for all money sent her,
and does as she agrees, and that she has re-
ceiyed numerous testimonials to this effect
A long list of these testimonials is annexed.

A Ute Lariat.

Capt. Hogan, of the Cavalry, who is at home
in this city, sick, brought with him from the
Ute Indians-now at war with our troops-a
specimen of lariats used by those Indians to
tether their horses, made for him by them,
and composed of horse-hair of various colors.
This lariat shows much ingenuity and skill in
construction, and is little larger in size than
a clothes-line. 1t can be seen at Mr.. III. G.
Quincy's, north side of Old City Hall.
Capt Hogan feels quite proud that his COM
pany should have been so successful as to fol-
low up Thornburgh's command and whipped
the Cred devils"

Portland Machine Works.


The annual meeting of the directors of~the
Portland Machine Works was held yesterday
afternoon at the office of the works, to hear
the report of the committee appointed at the
first meeting.
Mr. Henry L. Paine, in behalf the commit
tee, reported the outstanding liabilities, ex-
elusive of mortgage and valid attachments as
follows:
Outstanding liabilities. $24, 742.4
And available assets consisting of ledger
accounts and stock on hand at ...... 1885, 81
Leaving deficit of assets amounting
to ..............-.....'.... l,zoo.1
amount TO- Observation-Disclosures. 50, 100000
Accrued interest on same. ............. 841.33
Motal. 1927, TAI. 33
AS to the value OF the property covered by
the mortgage the committee express them
selves as follows:
Mr.. Fessenden, in statement annexed, has
put in as the valuation of the property an
amount equal to the mortgages and attach
ments thereon, and as this is the vital question
which you are to consider we desire to present
some views pertaining thereto.
We have here an area of land bounded on
two streets, with an open passage in common
between them, with an area of 1000 square
feet of land 80 feet front on the great BUSH
ness street of this city, and we may say as de-
'sirable location for business purposes as any
on the street.
Running back to York street, we find
frontage of 100 feet on that street. We have
been led to consider the value of this land, in
dependently of buildings and property there
on and from inquiries made of those disinter-
ested and competent to judge, equal to the
amount of mortgages before named, or at
least $50, 900. Add to this the machine shop,
hlocxSmith shon hoilar ShOn and fOundrV to-
gether with the valuable machinery contained
therein. and it appears 10 your committee that
enough should be realized in some way, above
all membranes, to pay to every creditor his
honest due.'
After referring to the value of the patterns
and merchandise on hand the report concludes
as follows:
SIN conclusion, no offer coming from Mr..
Fessenden whereby percentage can be offer
ed to unsecured creditors, we would suggest for
your consideration in view of the prospective
and improving values of iron working eStab-
lishments, as well as real estate. whether it
would not be best for all concerned that this
property be assigned or placed in the hands OF
trustees, trusting to a more favorable oppor-
tunity to dispose of the same"
HENRY L. PAINE,
RICHARD PHENIX, Com.
G.. M. PLUMMER,
1t was voted that the report of the
committee be accepted and the views therein
expressed be adopted as the views of the meet
ing.
1t was also voted that the committee be en-.
powered to ascertain the views of creditors not
present, in order to obtain unanimous action
in the further management of the property.
