Business general]y'is starting up in this town
and vicinity. Our manufactures are all run
ming on full time. The Dennison Boston Man.
ufacturing Company, making druggists and
fine iewelry boxes, under the management of
Mr.. F. W. Chandle r, is doing large business
just now, giving employment to some $50
hands, male and female, in their new commo-
dious building 60 "A feet and three stories
high, erected last season on the site of the one
destroyed by fire. The motive power is the
water motor" built by the Auburn Manu-
featuring Company. The box stock is sup
piled by the Androscoggin Pulp Manufacturing
Company of this place. The pulp sheets, &c
30 inches, are first lined on one side with fine
newspaper, and when properly dried are cal
lendared and culled, then cut up into strips of
proper dimensions for the boxes of various
sizes and shapes and worked upon forms by
boys, then passed into the hands of girls to be
covered and lined with tinted paper. Ship
ments ara made direct to the home office in
Boston. The average monthly shipments
amount to upwards of $1,000. The business is
daily increasing
In addition to the paper box mandatory
the company have recently started making mo-
rocco cases for fine jewelry and surgical instru-
ments AT "The Cove" the company have
another mill for manufacturing wood frames,
which are covered with morocco. AT this mill
fine jewelry cotton and absorbent cotton for
hospital uses are produced in large quantities.

The Life Saving Service.

Mr.. Sumner Kimball, general superintend-
ent of the life saving service, has made very
interesting report showing the amount and
character of the work done in his department
for the fiscal year which ended June 80, 1880.
During that time there were 800 disasters to
vessels within reach of some of the 179 life
saving stations established along the lake and
ocean coasts; 1889 persons were upon these
vessels and their lives were in peril, but only
nine persisted. The vessels and cargoes en-
dahgered were valued at $3,S21, 705, but the
total loss was but 81 ,191, 9O1. Only sixty-seven
vessels were total loss. Of the vessels saved
from impending danger and probably from
complete ruin 12S were piloted out of danger
or hove off when they were stranded. There
were more disasters during the year than dur
ing any previous year since the establishment
of the service, but the loss of life was less than
in any previous year since 1871, when the sta
tions were first provided with life saving APP
paratus; 1000 lives, and goods valued at $12,-
130, 215 have been saved by the crews in the
past nine years. Several modest appeals for
increased aid from the government are made
by Superintendent Kimball in behalf of his
department., and thrilling accounts of the
chief disasters of the service by men who
witnessed them,

Adams of HAMPTON.

Mr. w. I'll. Adams, former student at the
famous Hampton, Virginia, Institute, and one
of the brightest men it has furnished, is in
this city advancing the interests of that able
and popular monthly publication, The South
ern Workman, edited by the principal of
Hampton and printed by the students This
publication is devoted to the interests, educa-
tional and industrial of Southern laborers, es-
pecially those of the lately emancipated race.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Adams to bring The
Workman to the notice of our people, in the
confident hope that they will recognize the
good work it is doing and extend to it substan-
tial aid. He is also interested in promoting
tde welfare of that worthy branch of Hamp-
ton, the Butler primary school. He is young
man of ability and integrity, and the cause he
represents one deserving warm encouragement

Cruelty to a Child.

Some time during the past winter, says the
Bangor Wing, the attention of a teacher in
one OF the Bangor schools was drawn to one of
her pupils, little girl, who came shivering to
school, most scantily clad, and whose pinched
face bore the impress of keenest hunger. 1t
was noticed that the child grasped with an al
most insane eagerness bits of food given her
from the luncheons of happier children. Her
suffering condition excited compassion, and
kind.hearted ladies brought to the school
ONE warm clothing for the child, but it was
refused, the child saying she would be beaten
If she took it. An investigation was insti-
tuted, when it was found that the child abided
with her father who lived with woman pur-
porting to be his cousin, who had assumed the
care of the little daughter. That being the
case, and there being 10 law to interfere with
the fathers right to his child, the only way to
mitigate her suffering jseemed to be to send
food to the school house for the child's benefit,
which was done regularly until the child
driven almost frantic, took the matter into
her own hands, and went from the school to
the house of lady who had befriended her.
And as she stood in the presence of her friend,
her sad brown eyes filed with tears, her little
hands purple with cold, land frame thin and
shrunken from lack of nourishment, she
seemed picture of hopeless misery, and the
recital of the abuse to which she had been sub
jected, told in her childish way, was sufficient
to have melted heart of adamant The wom-
an had given her only dry bread and water;
had kept her confined in a cold room, under
lock and key, the igreater part of the time;
had beaten her fearfully, as her bruised body
then bore testimony; had applied mustard
plasters until the agony was unspeakable, and
had otherwise abused her i'll ways too revolt
ing to hear, and almost to believe. Under
these circumstances the child was not permit
ted TO have access to her father, who had been
prejudiced against her by the woman, as the
father, SO the child stated, always sought to
defend his daughter when he CHANGED to wit
ness any abuse of her person. After several
Intellectual attempts by the father to induce
his child to return, the matter was put into
the hands Of the authorities, law providing
for the protection of such children having gone
into effect March 31st. A hearing was had be-
fore the municipal officers, one day last week,
when the child told again her pitiful story, SO
long repressed through fear. The warmest
Of the mayor and aldermen were at
once enlisted, and they placed the matter in
the hands OF Judge Brett, who has placed her
beyond the reach of her prosecutors.
