RECLAIMING SALT MARSH.
mas D1klng Salt Marsh in Scarboro
Proved Failure?

;, Since petition was presented to the Legis-
iature last winter to abrogate the charter of
Ihe Southgate Diking Co., the abore inquiry
mas often been made by the friends of progress,
tearing there might be some unforeseen diff
cui.y IN the way. To answer the inquiry
ana set the matter in its true light before all
interested, allow me to say that that petition
ala not set forth that the marsh diked was in
any way injured, but alleged that the dixie
nad injured and was killing out the clans in
me flats below; obstructing navigation and cut
tlng off the industry of shipbuilding at Duns-
tan Landing to the great injury of Scarboro.
i Inc committee were very readily convinced
tne fallacy of these allegations when shown
that more CLAIMS had been harvested than usual
Tor several months; that two railroads and one
Town road had bridges across the river without
draws, built by lease OF act of Congress before
the dam for the dixie was, and no shipbuilding
mad been done at Dunstan Landing for thirty
years. The results of the marsh diked have
Deen most encouraging for two years, the time
1t has been diked, yielding about double the
amount of hay OF better quality, affording
the opportunity of cutting and curing it at the
proper time, thus making it much more val
uaole 1t is true weeds are springing up on
many portions of it, but it is where the marsh
was bare before it was diked, and the owners
have neglected to SOW English seed, or the salt
has not sufficiently evaporated from the soil to
allow it to grow. Some have commenced
ploughing and cultivating the soil and get
good returns. Besides the roads crossing the
marshes are not now overflowed at high run of
tides as formerly, preventing washing, some
times rendering them dangerous to travel, Of
ten saving bills of cost in repairing them.
Then marsh that has been in the market for
sale for long time without an offer now is
changing hands at advanced prices, showing
that diking is held in good repute generally,
and is only objected to by few that don't
want to pay their tax. S. S.

Maina Industries.

The Boston Journal says: Hemlock boards
at Bangor have been selling for $12,
against SIS year ago. Freights from Calais
are now 1925 to $780, against $,.75 year
ago. There is also scarcity of flat cars in
Maine, all the box cars being used for the
transportation Of ice. Tacro are light receipts.
The logging season in Maine has been protract-
ed by the cold weather in March, and it is es-
timated that the stock of logs on the Kenne-
bee is 14O, 100000, while last year it was 80 0OO,.
600. There are light stocks in Maine, and
much lumber has been used in building ice
houses, and also in the mines.
Eastern bricks, which are brought from
several towns along the Maine coast, cost 80
bricks themselves sold here a year ago, by the
cargo, at 1925 to $5.75, whereas the present
price is IS to $3.50. At the old price there
was no money to makers, and indeed it is
significant fact that the business has been UNI
profitable, that many concerns both here and
in Maine have failed of late years. just alter
the Boston fire there was rush of parties 60
ing to making bricks, aud prices of Eastern
advanced from $11 per 1000 to ST. The supply
prices in August, 1878, had dropped from $17
to $12, and they have been dropping ever
since until the revival in business came along.
The bad condition of the trade took away all
encouragement to make bricks, and thus when
the change came along last year there were
light stocks both here and in Maine. What
little surplus there was here was uickly ex-
hausted by the building operations which have
been largely conducted all through the win
ter. The supply has been short, and even now
it is very difficult to get bricks, and in fact
impossible in very large quantities. as cargoes
coming forward are sold ''to arrive" The
brick season opens about March 20, for Eas-
tern, and, with the opening Of the Eastern
river supplies come forward freely. The
brick makers of Boston are taking orders at 80
per 1000 delivered. where year ago the price
was 81 and less. They are largely sold ahead,
and have none on hand for sale for immediate
delivery and many could not now contract to
deliver by June. Bricks are made hereabouts
between May and the middle Of October, and
in Maine the season is even shorter So great
is the ruling scarcity that we hear of an offer
of $11 so per 1000 for 100000 bricks delivered
in Waltham.

A mad dog was on the rampage at Sanford
Corner, Springyale Monday evening. He bit
a little boy named Haigh, son Of George Haigh,
end several dogs there. He came in to the
place about o'clock that night and attacked
two men. One of them by the name OF
Delano was bitten on the left hand Delano
undertook to kill him and lost his balance and
fell. Upon that the dog jumped on him,
seized his hand and held him. Delano with
his free hand seized the dogs throat, threw
him down, jumped upon him three or four
times with his knees and left him for dead,
but before a club could be obtained to finish
him the dog was gone. He afterwards bit a
Mrs. Ridley on the arm. The dog, which was
large, black shaggy one, is still at large He
was last seen at Goodwin's mill, about three
miles from Springvale.

Methodist Social Union.

This organization, composed of the M. E.
churches of Portland and vicinity, has held its
meetings once a month, commencing early in
the fall and closing for the season at the last
meeting, in Chestnut Street church ON Mon
day evening last. These social unions have
been uniformly large, some of them number
ing as many as six or seven hundred people.
The tables upon these occasions have been
loaded down with the best the market affords
and bountiful supply for all present, gra-
tuitously furnished by the ladies.
Financially, the union has been a success.
In reviewing the past L think it will be clearly
seen, that SO far as intellectual entertainments
were concerned, there might have been an i'm
provement. This failure was not owing to the
want of talent, either among the clergy or the
laity, but to neglect on the part of the COM
mittee who had this subject in charge, to make
proper arrangements in advance. to carry into
effect this important part of these entertain
ments. A word to the wise is sufficient.
