HARRINGTON, Feb. II.

FARMINGToN, Feb. II.
The death of Mr.. John Frost, one of our
most respected townsmen, occurred at his
residence, Thursday last, of pneum mia and
typhoid fever. He was 63 years of age, and
for forty six years has been one Of the pillars
of the Methodist church in this county, forty of
which he has been class leader. The funeral
services took place Sunday afternoon at the
Methodist church, and as token of respect no
services were held at any of the other churches
in the village. The house was filled to over
flowing. An eloquent discourse was delivered
by the pastor, R-v. Mr. Sanderson, from the
text: "The righteous shall grow like cedar
in Lebanon, "-Ps. xcii:12
Mr. B. A Higgins fell upon the icy sidewalk
in front of tbs county building, Thursday
evening, injuring his hip SO seriously that he
required the assistance of three ply siciaDs

All of our public schools, including the
High, Grammar and Primary, closed very

Lewiston Mauuiact.res.

The Lewiston Journal says cotton manufac-
turers in that City have very hopeful feeling
in regard to the business prospects OF the pres
ent year. A prominent manufacturer says
there is good ground for reasonable hope that
the brisk demand for cotton fabrics which has
existed the past six or seven weeks will con-
tnue. For several years past there have been
brief periods when business seemed to be really
improving, and expectations were raised, to be
uprealized. The improvement Was not lastipg
The present indications give better assurance
of permanent Improve although we can
not be sapguIne without more continued ex-
perlence.
A demand for cotton fabrics has sprung up
which exceeds nything We have had for sew
eral years. Goods are mere widely distributed
they ara sold in smaller quantities and in all
parts OF the country, and we know that they are
really consumed. If they go to the Cla6ins
nd the Stewards in lots of thousand cases
they lie in their warehouses, are not consumed,
and the mills have them to compete With. Cot
ton has tendeocs to advance. Middllng COT
ton is worth 101 cents delivered in Lewiston.
Cotton fabrics are now higher. Those mills
which have n aDufactur1d c0arser goods tor
foreign trade have been doing the best business
The demand which commenced month or so
ago has kept up surprisingly well, and there
is good reason to hope that it will not be
sporadic.
One mauuf ,cturer states that the past week
there have ben many purchases of cotton in
Boston by Western firms, and prices have ad-
vanced about per cent, and the expectation
Ia of still higher prices. This amounts to an
advance of cent per yard on standard yard
wide goods. All kinds of cotton goods are firm
err Stocks are light and the prospect ahead IS
cheering. The foreign demand for American
goods is increasing; there has been growth of
popula, ion 10 this country within the past Six
years. met by no corresponding increase OF

least OF the nature of an argument The Colonel
like A. Wards kangaroo, is an "amoosing

people saw him take his seat, and King get up.
Mr. King proceeded to make savage attack
on the enemies of the Greepback party,
holding special grudgs against the
science of grammar it would seem. He found
nothing good in the Republican party, and
precious little oat of 1t. He wauted 20 have

denounced lawyers as class, could see no

resort to a'lawyer, boweyer), and then sadly

Peaks Island, given by Miss Eta Sterling, who
was repeatedly encored. 1t is but fair to state
the readings given by the Messrs. Wilbur and

forth well deserved applause, as did also the
selection spoken by Miss ida Sterling. The
singing of the Messrs. Berry and Fisher was
excellent and an encore demanded. The
'Sweet By and By" sung by Miss Nellie Fish

and an encore was vociferously called for, to
which she responded by singing sabbath
