to recover damages of the deft. corporation
for alleged injuries received by the plf. at or

of March last. The plffs counsel opened his
case to the jury this morning, and immedi-
ately after the jury. in charge of an officer,
proceeded to the alleged place of the accident
and viewed the premises. The plf. alleges
that while going from her home on Lin.

on account of said defective way the plf. re-

claims damages in the sum of $1,000.
The defense is that the walk COM

could reasonably be put in, considering the
condition of the weather, the surface of the
earth being covered it'll ice at the time. and
and that the deft was not in the exercise of

Last spring the Umbagog Pulp Company

composed Of Congressman Russell of Mas,a.

The timber to be used in making the pulp
will be obtained from the various drives of
logs that pass this place every spring, at a
very reasonable rate. and as each stone will
grind about a ton per day the business bids
fair to prove success. The pulp produced
by the grinding process is superior for news
paper to that made by the chemical process,
as it retains all the acids and characteristics
of the wood. the paper taking the ink better

weather. the same as wood will do.
The future of Livermore Falls appears to
be bright one. In the past several enter
prises had been started here and failed. but
the lands and water powers are passing into
the hands of men capable of developing
them. During the past few years the largest
industry has been the manufacture of "leather

Too much school-marm has made sensa-
ton in one of the Durham districts. One
week ago Monday, the day for the beginning
of the term Of school, three young ladies, one
Of Brunswick, one of Durham and one of
Freeport, came to the school-house to assume
the pedagogical birch and dignities. Each
claimed to have been employed by the school
district agent and certifcated by the Super
visor Each claimed to be the legal and
proper teacher of the school. One young
lady's courage failed her, and she went home
in the spirit of resignation. The other two
ladies opened the school and proceeded to
teach the Young idea of Durham how to
shoot. 1t was double barreled sort of
instruction. For seven days they taught
together and got along pleasantly enough.
Tuesday morning last, the district agent
appeared, just before school opened. asked
the teachers and pupils to step out, locked the
door and took the key. The cause of educa-
ton is now bleeding. in Durham. The school
will probably be re-opened with fewer teach
ers.

The Reduction OF Letter Posta &c.

A determined effort will be made at the
the present session of Congress by the House
committee on post offices and post roads, of
which General Bingham is chairman, to Sc
cure the passage of a bill reducing letter
postage to two cents. The recommendation
of the postmaster general that patent COM
bination of letter sheet and stamped envelope
shall be recognized by law, in lieu of an alb
sOlute reduction in the rate of postage, does
not meet with the approval, either of the
House committee. or as far as can be learned,
Of any considerable number of members of
the House. General Bingham is in some
doubt as to whether there will be sufficient
time during the present short session to Sc
cure reduction of the postage, but he will
make every exertion to induce the House to
consider the subject.
