Our Silk Manufacturers.

1t is shown by the preliminary
report OF the department of manu-
factures connected with the census
bureau, that the total value of
silk manufactures I'm the United
States for the year 1879 was 1884,
4I0.63O. This includes all sorts
Of goods, but details are not Civ
en-, which is a pity, as they would
enable us to explain, by compari-
son with the returns for the six
proceeding years from the state
reports, what advances have been
made in the finer works I'm this
line of manufactures. Ribbons.
tram and twist have commonly
covered about forty to forty eight
per cent. Of all American silken
manufactures, and ladies' dressing
goods, foulards, dress trimmings
and millinery silks, with handker-
chiefs, about the same; leaving
from eight to twelve per cent. for
all other articles, such as braids,
upholsters, laces, wells, hose, fringe,
floss and sewing silk. The follow
ing totals Of the value of silken
manufactures In the United States
for the respective years will enable
the reader to Judge of the recent
increase in this industry:

that the total values for that year
were S25,O0O,OOO, we have grand

gives an average of S24,93j,192

are abeut q per cent higher than
those of the highest preceding

those of the lowest-lSi3. The
increase from 1877 to 1880 has
been nearly % per cent. The
state of New jersey takes the lead
in this industry; which, though
yet in Its infancy in the United

nearly S2,O0O,00O, and gives en-

ago about 500 loaded cars on its

without brilliant prospect of sue

from the cotton states experiment
ed last year in Salt river valley in

Arrival Of the Toronto.

The steamship Toronto, Gibson master, of
the Dominion line, arrived at this port yester-
day morning. Capt Gibson reports as fol-
lows:
Left Liverpool at 2 p. m March 4th, with
2300 tons of general cargo, 10 cabin and 20
Storage passengers; to D. Terrence & Co.,
agents. During the first six days of the pas
sage had strong head winds and high seas,
when the ship laboIed heavily and took in
water over ALL Afterwards had moderate,
variable winds until we arrived at Portland at
1oa. m, March 18th. The Toronto also brings
number of pedigree stock from England, in
charge of Mr. w. z. Burleigh, of the firm Of
Messrs. Burleigh & Boutwell, Fairfield Centre.
Maine, consisting of So COWS and hefers,
calves, 100 sheep and pony, and which, not
wlthstanding the stormy passage, by the care
and attention of Mr.. Burleigh and his assist
ants. were all landed in fine condition. This
is the second batch that Mr.. Buregh has
brought from England lin same steamer)
within one year, without losing any, and dur
ing this trip, by births on the passage Mr.
Burleigh lands ITO animals, having only ship
ped 1855 in Liverpool.
To any one interested in pedigree stock they
will be amply rewarded by paying a visit to
the above named importation of beautiful ami
mails.
Speaking of the importing of pedigree stock
from England, the Liverpool Courier says:
Some Indication of the extent to which Eng
fish pedigree stock is being utilized on the
other side of the Atlantic may be formed from
the nature of the consignment which will be
taken out to Portland by the steamship Toron-
to. belonging to the Mississippi and Dominion
Company, which sails from the Mersey today.
The selection has been made by Mr.. w. G..
Burleigh, of the firm of Messrs. Burleigh &
Bodwell, Fairfield Centre, State of Maine,
from we'll known and established herds and
flocks in this country, and consists of IS COWS
and heifers, Z calves, 100 sheep and 1 pony.
This firm, only eleven months ago, shipped 81
Herefords and IS Shropshire sheep and it is
worthy of mention that on that occasion they
also chose the Toronto for the transit of the
consignment, which was landed in excellent
condition.

The Atrato Mining Company.

Yesterday we published an extract from
letter to the Advertiser from Mr.. Simonton, of
the Atrato Company. A letter from Lieut..
Paine to the President of the Atrato Company,
says Mr.. Sargent will probably remain awhile
at Carthagena to look after the interests of the
company there, and when sufficiently recover
ed either rejoin the working party or return
home. Lieut.. Paine writes:
Everything looks very promising. While
our delay has been tedious, owing to Mr.. Sar-
gents good management it has been shorter
than we expected, and we have every reason to
congratulate ourselves that we are clear of the
Custom House. Reports from the Atrato are
more than encouraging. / have seen large
amounts of gold which have been brought
down from there, and everybody without ex-
ception agrees that it is by far the richest por-
ton of the country, and unless some unfore-
seen accident occurs cannot but believe that
we shall be very successful"

Mrs. Fosters Lecture.

Among the first of the many noble women
that the National Christian Temperance
Union claims as its own is Mrs j. Ellen Fos-
ter of Iowa. This talented lady has been as
sociated with this temperance union since its
commencement and by self sacrificing deeds
and eloquent addresses she has powerfully
aided the cause.
At the annual meeting of the N. w. G. 7.
U. in Boston last fall Mrs. Foster made SO
favorable an impression that she was invited
to return in February and lecture in Trement
Temple. The large audience room could not
contain all who desired to hear her, and for
three evenings she spoke to crowded houses.
This week she is lecturing in Maine, and
next Sunday evening in Congress Square
church Portland people will have an oppor-
tunity of hearing her.

Freshet in Norway.

About 10 o'clock Monday the middle dam
between Cummings mill and Mason's block
on the Pennesseewassee stream at Norway
gave way to the pressure of ice and high wa
ter, and was carried away, letting flood upon
the town. Mason's block was undermined and
about one-fourth of the structure fell il ruins.
1t was large frame building set on posts, and
was partly over the stream. The owners art
Messrs. E. S. & c. G. Mason, dealers in hard
ware, stoves, etc. The basement was occupied
as carriage repository, and about $1,000 worth
of carriages, owned by Fl. S. Libby. were
ruined. The loss on the building is in the
neighborhood of $1,000. 1t will cost about 81, ).
600 to repair the dam. The dam was built Of
timber and earth, and was owned by G. B.
Cummings, manufacturer of shoe stock. The
flood caused much excitement in the village.
