1t is proposed to raise 100000 among Gardi-
ner capitalists and more, if possible, for the
proposed cotton mill. Mr.. Dyer, the engineer,
sees no reason why cotton mill OF ~, IVY
spindles cannot be made successful and prom.
table investment. He estimated the cost at
SIS per spindle and 81 additional for putting
in steam power. He especially recommended
that the building should not be more than two
stories in height, for where land is compare
lively cheap as in Gardiner low building can
be erected much more cheaply than high one.
There is no reason for doubling that mill VIII
be erected in a short time.

A Pleasing Incident.

The Somerset Reporter gives the following
pleasing incident in the life of the late
Nathaniel Deering:
To thow the warm, kind heart that beat in
the bosom of this man we will relate an in
cident in his life which may be new to some of
our readers who knew him when he lived here.
He was a great lover of the drama and ever
delighted in witnessing it when we'll presented.
On one occasion Uncle TOMS Cabin was being
played in Music Hall, Portland, then owned
by him. There was large audience present
and the piece then new, was being played with
great power and effect. Mr.. Deering was
seated in one of the boxes with some friends
and as the play proceeded he became greatly
interested in the various incidents. When
the auction scene was reached and the poor
black woman was being torn from her family,
Mr.. Deering forgot all save the poor victim of
the auction block and just as she was being
bid off to the cruel master for $4,000, the au-
dience were startled to see him leap from the
box to the stage crying out at the same mo-
ment $4,000" The effect can be better
imagined than described. Mr.. Deering being
naturally very sensitive man was greatly
chagrined at finding himself on the stage, but
those who knew him best never forgot tn Q
heart that prompted the act.

borines, and all presenting the various be-
witching features that characterize the Ca
chuca and Madrileno. Then there will be the

Another Trunk Line to New England.

AAobuor Trunk Line TO Now England.
The Lake Ontario Shore road was construct
ed between Oswego and the Niagara river with
the object of providing competing line to the
New York Central and, though the road was
built nearly ten years since, it has never
amounted to much, for the reason that it has
been unable to obtain o connection with the
roads west of Buffalo. The road having passed
into the hands of the Rome, Watertown & Og-
densburg Railroad, the announcement is now
made that workmen are engaged in connecting
she Ontario Shore road with the Great Wes-
tern via the Suspension bridge. Via the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western from Oswego
new line to the West can be put in operation,
and via 0swego and Watertown the Ogdens.
burg & Lake Champlain can secure an all rail
connection to the West independent of the
Grand Trunk, with which, it is reported, its
relations at the present time are unpleasant.
With the Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain in
the control of the Portland & Ogdensburg, the
new connection at Suspension Bridge opens an
all rail route to Portland and Boston, also in
dependent of the Grand Trunk. 1t will be
seen that this new connection can be made of
considerable Importance to Northern New
York and New England.

MISS COLES TEETH

Port Jervis, n. Y. April IA
most remarkable story comes from
MiddletOwn, Orange County. A
maiden lady at that place, on the
9Th of January, 1869, swallowed a
a new set of false teeth, which be-
came separated from the rubber
mold in which they had been set
while masticating her food. Before
she could eject the food from her
mouth the teeth had gone down into
her stomach. The family phySic-
ian was summoned, but all his eff
forts were unavailing. The teeth
caused her no discomfort, and in a
short time the matter was entirely
forgotten. A few days ago Miss
Cole, the lady in question, felt a
sharp pain near her left shoulder,
and upon examining the spot found
what appeared like a wen under the
skin. With the aid of a pen-knife
she extracted a hard substance
which proved to be a tooth. She
was at a loss to know how the tooth
came to be in such an unusual spot
until she suddenly recollected that
she had, twelve years ago, swallowed
her set of teeth. During the past few
days the lady has been cutting teeth
all over her body, and had at last &C
counts recovered twelve of the four
teen that had formerly constituted
her full set. She is anXIously await
ing the arrival of the other two.
She has placed the teeth in glass
case, and will keep them as memen-
toes.
