Mr. Joseph Sou aed, the well known color
ed resident of Hallowell, whose experience in
life has been perhaps quite as varied as usually
falls to the common lot Of humanity, died at
his residence on Water Street in that city
on Monday last, at an age variously estimated
from 60 to 80 years. For thirty or forty years
he was a slave at the South, and his SCARED and
furrowed body gave evidence of the cruel
lash, often and severely administered during
his life in bondage. Since the war he has
resided in that city, whtre he has led quiet
and respectable life, maintaining cheerful
demeanor under adverse circumstances and
peculiar trials. He has now gone where he
will stand on an equality with his early on
pressors before the tribunal of just and
merciful God.

We regret that a paper with the status of
the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which has
wide circulation among the capitalists and
business men of New England, should give
currency to the statement that the Sprague
mills in this city have for some years been
run at loss by the trustee of the property.
Such is not the fact. On the contrary they
have been paying dividends of from to II
per cent. on the assessed value of
the property. 1t is highly important
to the future growth and prosperity
of Augusta that capitalists should understand
what a rare chance for investment the
Sprague property offers. The cotton mills
in this city contain 81, 400 spindles. They
give employment to about As operatives
throughout the year, and have monthly
paw roll of some $1,000. Their annual prod
uct is between nine and ten millions yards of
print cloth, which is shipped to the Spraguc
print works i'm Cranston, r. l., where it is
printed for calicos. If wider goods should
be manufactured, it would be necessary to
put in new looms. Last year these mills paid

The Spragues originally planned to erect
some five or six large cotton mills, and there
are level sites for that number. The founda-
ton is gravelly, level, and firm, and would
require little grading. On the east side OF the
river is a large saw mill capable of saving
$4,000 feet of long lumber per day. Tins

value of the Sprague property in Augusta
which includes an immense amount OF real

nected with the cotton and saw mills, is s63i.-

the hopes of our city. Should syndicate OF
enterprising capitalists obtain control OF the
water power an era of unparalleled prosperity
would dawn upon the capital city of Maine

General Trade.

An improved volume OF business
has been done in this market during

been favorable. Liberal receipts of
corn and other feedstufs, the resump-
ton of meal grinding by local mills,
also arrivals of Aatboats from the
Ohio with cargoes Of apples and pota'
toes, has impaired a vigor to trade not
felt fer several weeks before. The
leading changes in values are a droopy
feeling in meats, a slight decline in
lard, sc off on cotton and J to lc
lower on hides. But little change is
noted in -four and other staple articles.
In the West the weather has been uu-
favorable for hog packing, and the
tone Of prices has ruled droopy. At
New Orleans the sugar and molasses
market has been active, with prices
a shade of. The estimated yield oil
sugar is now set at. 10000 hhds,
against 2lS,0 900 last year. The coffee
market rules dull, and prices among
importers have declined so that deal
ers are losing money. Cotton has
dropped off ic per ID in that market,
and the weeks sales sum up 10000
bales, with deals in futures amount
ing to $3.50 bales, the heaviest on
