How fortunate it is for Elk River

DO occasionally arise intheir midst and
stu more fortunate that the mighty
UNION man should condescend to lust
notice those sensations, not as a mat

The National Positive Motion Loom

The National Positive Motion Loom Co.
In the PRESS of the 18th ult we called atten-
ton 20 the wonderful and valuable "Indepen-
dent Positive Motion Loom" for the weaving
of marrow wares" taking precedence largely
of even the best "gang looms' producing
at least from rs to 100 per cent. more goods
per weaver than the ''gang looms" Already
some 80 looms have been in successful opera
ton in Massachusetts, factory the past year.
Several prominent gentlemen of this city
and vicinity propose to form company called
the "National Positive Motion Loom Cot, fe.
the purpose of purchasing the patent right for
the United States and establishing manufac-
tory here of marrow wares" such as silk rib
bons, sashes, suspender webbing, furniture
webbing, shoe goring, wicking, betting, hose
and such goods; also upon the results of the
mann factory fully approaching the value of
the patent, to sell the rights for the entire
country in sections, reserving this immediate
vicinity for its own especial use and benefit.
The company will be formed at once upon q
capital of 100000, of which $4,000 will be
paid for the purchase of the patent right and
$4,000 reserved for the treasury as working
capital. 1t will start with 100 looms, which
will give the company first class status.
The subscription will be in 1000 blocks of
100 each, and the book is now open at the Of
fee of Mr.. John S. Morris, No. % Exchange
street, trustee for the patentees, and indica-
lions point to the quick and ready completion
of the list.
The looms are now in operation at the store
No. IS Exchange street, next door south of
Messrs. Rollins & Adams where the parties in
charge will be pleased to give any one inter-
ested all possible information regarding the
looms and their operation.
1t is certainly one of the most valuable and
advantageous opportunities for the investment
of capital yet presented, and we are glad tc
know that it will add one more valuable man
ufacturing industry to our city and thus give
further impetus to business and prove gener-
al public benefit. Among the gentlemen in
terested in the company are Hon. W. f. Lunt
William R. Wood, Franklin J. Rollins and
others of this city, and Ferguson Haines Of
Bddeford.

nails. 1t was found in a mass of ashes and
had been dumped on the wharf during the day
by some teamster. Probably, the arm had
been amputated, placed in the ash barrel and

Reciprocity with Canada.

Representative Rice of Massachusetts, of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, has prepared a
minority report with respect to the proposed
commission for reciprocity with Canada. Mr..
Rice's report is very elaborate and exhaustive.
He takes the ground that, while complete free
trade as to all commodities between the United
States and Canada might perhaps be desirable
and beneficial to the United States, no reci-
procity can be of any practical advantage to
this country so long as Canada is under the
control of the British Government and subject
to the influence of the mother country. The
effect of reciprocity now as to cereals, wood,
coal and similar products would be to open our
markets to Canada, while the Canadians in
turn would not buy our manufactured articles,
but would purchase those brought from Eng

Mr.. j. E. Miller, State superintendent o
agencies for the sale of d. Appleton q Cos

large success in the introduction of the Amer

endorsed it as being in their opinions the most
complete and trustworthy work of its class for
general use in the English language, and
many more owning inferior cyclopaedias have
recently exchanged them for the American af-
ter satisfying themselves of its superiority. A
good opportunity is Low afforded all who are
interested in the cyclopadia question to exam
