STATE NEWS.
KENNEBEc COUNTY.


In recent Republican procession at Water
vile was mammoth transparency with the
devlce:-"Wlth protective tariff another mill :"
In the procession was company of French
Canadians, many of whom cast their vote in
September for Plaisted, but who will vote for
Garfield in November.
Saw mills on the Kennebec are about all
hung up for want of water. There are so OOO,-
0OO feet of logs on the river waiting for
the longed-for rain to float them down to
the mills, not only for pr sent uses, when lum-
Der is commanding good price, but also for
use on the opening Of spring. The drought is
terrible. There has been no heavy rain for
quite year sufficient to float last years cut Of
logs. Operations are already going on in the
woods. This is six weeks earlier than for sew
erai years, and this is the case in the lumber
regions all over the State; there seems to be
gen eral impression among lumbermen that it
is best to get at work early. There will be
more lumber cut on the Kennebec this season
than for years. That is the opinion of well
posted lumbermen who have crews ready in
the woods there: The wages of men are 20 per
cent. higher this winter than last. Teams are
from five to ten dollars month higher than
last year.
PENoBscoT COUNTY.
Patrick Murphy, Of Carmel, died Friday, at
the ripe old age of 101 years and months.
Sunday afternoon last, as Mrs. Nathan Bal
ley, of Bradford, was out driving she met with
an accident which it is feared may prove fatal,
as she is 6S years old. She was driving young
colt and was accompanied by lady and boy.
They stopped on the road to water the colt
and after getting pail the boy very carelessly
removed the bits from the colts mouth. The
animal then started, and as the ladies were
powerless to check him they were both thrown
out. Mrs. Bailey had two ribs broken and was
otherwise injured, but her companion was more
fortunate and escaped with only slight injuries.
WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Edward A. Harmon, of Saccarappa, aged so,
took large dose of opium Friday night at the
Island Hotel, Eastport, and died Saturday. He
left letter explaining that he hated the
him, and he had contemplated the act since
December. He has wife living.

Grand Lodge of Good Templars.

The semi-annual session of the Grand Lodge
of Good Templars of Maine began in Bruns-
wick Tuesday and closed yesterday There
was fair attendance. Grand Worthy Chief
Templar Chase, in his annual report, dwelt on
the encouraging increase of the members of
the order during the past year and took strong
ground in favor of extending the educational
part of the work of the order. He opposed
the agency system and favored the placing of
thessale of liquors in the hands of the drug
gists with the strongest restrictions.
The report of the Grand Worthy Secretary
George E. Bracket. showed that the total
number of lodges was 2S6 against 251 in 1879;
total membership q ,041 against 1S,907 in 1879.
Tuesday evening public meeting was held
and addressed by members of the order.
AT yesterday session Miss Nellie B. Nye,
general superintendent of Juvenile Temples,
made her annual report, which shows this
branch of the order to be flourish ing.
H. H. Burbank, Grand Worthy Treasurer,
presented his report, showing:

ANTIQUARIAN TABLE.

This table attracted considerable attention,
among which was an old Wa ming ipan exhibit
ted by Mr.. e. Higgins, a pl. by Mrs S. A.
Bradbury said to be 112 years old. Mrs. G. B.
Pendexter exhibited an old Chinese trunk
which was really curiosity, being a piece Of
fine workmanship and well filled with various
articles which the Chinese alone could name.
Old articles were exhibited by Mrs. B. Ma
rean, Minnie jackson, Mrs. D. B. jackson,
Mrs. Joseph Sanborn, Mrs. L. S. Hill, Charlie
Hasty, Mrs. VIM Paine, Mrs. e. L. Mcdonald
and Mrs. Hannah Ward. The display by Mr..

Something New.

Wheeler Swift & Co. have recently erected
building at the head of Franklin wharf
which is something new in its arrangements in
this city. The building consists of two rooms
on the ground floor, the outer saes-room
and beyond that the storage room. A double
track is connected with the ceiling of the
outer room, connecting, after passing through
the door leading to the storage room, with six
tracks leading all around the store room. The
tracks are made of elevated railroad iron, oc-
cupying but little space and being ornamental
rather than otherwise. The scale, one of Fair
banks best, is placed on the side of the office
in the sales-room. the beam being connected
overhead with a platform made of the same
material as the truck, and when not in use
forming part of it. The meat is hung in the
inner room on hooks connected with trucks
running on the track. The meat is taken from
the Car in quarters, attached to the hooks, and
can then be moved to any part of the
storeroom or to the salesroom outside,
thus doing away with all lifting
and handling. The store room is fitted up in
the best manner and meat can be kept fresh in
it for any desired length of time, and it will
hold about seventy carcasses. Over the store
room are stored seventy tons of ice, and the
temperature of the room is kept dry and cool,
the air passing down through openings in the
floor and out by way of other openings in the
side of the building
The firm of Wheeler. Swift & Co. is COM
posed OF Mr. Swift of Chicago, ands Wheeler of
Boston, the junior partner Mr.. Swift who re-
sides in Boston. The meat is brought in pa
tent refrigerator cars direct from Chicago by
the Grand Trunk line. Mr.. Reuben Abbott
of Boston will have charge of the business in
this city and will sell by wholesale only.

Tho attendance of the teachers has been
good and the interest shown by the pupils
above the average. When it is considered that
large proportion of the pupils are occupied
all day in exacting employments. and have
only their evenings for recreation, the regu-
larty with which many of them attend the re-
citations is especially worthy of commenda-
ton.
The Christmas festival as usual, called to-
gether hall full of happy boys and girls, who
did ample justice to the feast provided by the
generous friends of the school, and greatly en-
joyed the music and encouraging remarks,
which followed the supper.

General Trnde.

We have had a full week Of clear,
dry and cold weather. Considerable
cotton has been picked out, which,
after six weeks Of unprecedented in
olenency, has had a cheering effect on
apricuiturists, though the chilly air
has not permitted gathering to pro-
gress with the same degree OF activity
that could be wished. or that would
have been accomplished had the tenn
p%erature been more genial. Fair work
has, however, been done, and thS
roads are passable, so that haul
ing is again uninterrupted. The
monthly crop report, issued two days
ago and reviewing the prospect al the
close Of November, announces a little

Gossip About the GaraeId-

Gath writes: 81 was Speaking, to-.
day, to a young friend OF Gen. Gar.
field, who gave some amusing Incl
dents OF the Indifference of his family
to the greatness that has come upon
them. While Charley Foster was
visiting Garfield, at Mentor, one OF
the chubby, curly headedsons Of Gar
field took a piece of chalk and wrote
'329' all over the house, against the
porch, the gable Of the barn aud the
fence. Garfield looked grimly at the
performance, and said; Charley, did
you ever see the ipgratitude of sons
exemplifed like that?' The govorness
of the Garfield children was a Miss
May, who once kept a kindergarten in
Washington. Garfield had sent his
children to the public schools Of Wash
ington City until it seemed beneficial
to let them study at home under their
mothers direction, and Miss May was
made the tutor. As soon as Garfield
was elected, the item began to Goat
around the newspapers that Miss Nav
would receive at Che White House
with Mrs. Garfield, and that decisive
little woman at once put her foot on
the suggestion. My informant saws
that the letters addressed to General
Garfield by many of the American
people show a want Of sensihility and
begging audacity d~.sgraceful to our
country, One scamp wrote to the
General that he wanted to know if he
was going to get the postofice at a
certain place, and if he was not going
to have it he would not vote for Gar
field. Another fellow wrote to the
General saying that he was very poor,
and wanted a new suit of clothes the
worst way, and he requested General
Garfield to send him the money by
the return mail to buy the aforesaid
clothes, otherwise he could not End il
in his mind to vote for him again.
Preachers Of the gospel wrote Garfeld
letters asking for cash by return mai
as part payment for their oontem
plated support Of him. The general.
mail is a terrible commentary on tb.

The receipts OF gold at New York
IRON Europe last week aggregated
$50, makinga total since the
second Of August Of about S55.ODO,OO0
The weekly statement ofthe New York
banks, as received per telegraph, IN
dicates that they have been drawing
the lines somewhat closer, having
decreased their loans during the week
$11, 741 900, and increased their re-
serve S2,37S,675. At the same time
their deposits have decreased $9,747,-
SOC. There is very little change in
the amount Of cash on hand, which is
still zoo less than legal require
ments. At New York, Philadelphia
and Boston the money market is in an
unsettled condition, with interest
rates more in faver Of lenders than for
a long period. At the last named city
as high as Z per cent has ruled, while
in the two former the rate is to 6 per
cent,and occasionally a fraction higher.
Large shipments Of currency and coin
continue to the south and west, and
the movement is in excess Of foreign
gold importations.
In the local market money is loaned
at plain 8 per cent on acceptable
collaterals, or prime mercantile paper.
No other is in favor, and the demand
is not excessive, which is pleasant to
the bankers, the bulk Of their capital
being at present employed in the move
ment ofexchange. Rates for the latter
are steady, with liberal offerings Of
cotton bills. Those drawn on the
east are taken by the banks at ic to &c
discount, and on New Orleans at lc
discount. Drafts on New Orleans are
sold at par, and on Neg York at par
to 4Oc per thousand premium.
The movement in stocks and un-
current securities is limited, holders
mainly being satisfied to await the
time when dividends are usually de-
clared, now only a few weeks ahead

Abraham Lincoln made a speech in
Manchester, N. H., before his first elec-
ton, the women Of the city presented
him with a pair of Old-fashioned New
England stockings, the provision being
that he should wear them on the occa-
sion OF the delivery Of his inaugural ad-
dress. The Sibley, Iowa Gazette says
that Mr.. Lincoln did wear them, and
with great gustO told Nat Head and
Governor Gilmore how he had kept his
promise to the Manchester women.
