At the adjustment of the salaries of post

postmaster at Hallowell was placed at $1,000
per annum. This salary brought the Office

EASTER OFFERINGS,
hints for the Home Preparation OF Cards
and Eggs.

The shop windows are already filled with
Easter cards and Easter eggs, the former
being painted and engraved, the latter color
ed and decorated-yet, one can easily pro-
duce at home cards and eggs, almost if not
quite as beautiful, especially if one can use
the brush or needle with any dizziness and
taste. Beautiful ''cards'' can be made of
cream or white plush, and almost as beautiful
ones of silk and satin. A white strip of plush
about eight or ten inches long and three
inches wide can be embroidered with gold
and brown butterflies or with pansies or
violets. If one would attempt anything more
elaborate. a pretty handscreen can be made
of white plush painted or embroidered with
spray of pink apple blossoms and edged with
silver fringe. This is mounted on silver
frame. Light blue, cardinal and cream silk
or ribbon painted with flowers or butterflies
and mounted on cardboard make dainty cards.
red satin piece of ribbon may be painted
with white lily and blue satin with butter
cups and daisies. Some with pastebOard
cards can be painted with pine branch and
verse expressing the eternal freshness of
Easter. Delicate sea MOSES may be arragned
on cards with beautiful effect, and pressed
flowers, if carefully adjusted, will be even
more pleasing than the painted design. Many
line their cards and place perfume in cotton
between the lining and card. The ways of
decorating eggs are numerous, but the favor
lite methods are still the staining processes
If paper lpen which is written q verse is
rolled tightly and placed inside the egg the
Easter greeting will be very appropriately
placed.

number of smaller operators whose several
cuts will make up the total. The lumbermen
will be coming out of the woods very soon
now, as the present favorable weather cannot
continue much longer. The building of the
magnificent dam at Indian Rock by the Ken
nebec Log Driving Co. will be completed
very shortly, as POO men will be put on
the first of April. The structure
will cost not less than $4,000. Its
object is to facilitate the driving of the
logs received from the Lake through to the
Forks. Messrs. Milliken & Sturgis, a. we
have before stated, have taken the contract to
drive the logs and will employ crew of about
200 men. The driving season lasts from about
the goth of May to the last of August. Ice
does not generally break up in Moosehead
Lake until about the Goth of May. The pros
pect is that there will be good market for
lumber.in the future, and the amount cut the
past season will find ready sale. There is
not a large stock held on the river at the
present time.

1t should be understood that Mr.. Hill, in
fixing prices for Miss Mather's performance
in this city, is making quite a concession to
the citizens of Augusta, Hallowell and Gardi-

which he has done in view of the
hall accommodations here, they be-
ing so much inferior to those of
a first-class theatre. The great excellence
of Miss Mather's support should be re-

selves. The company is a costly one, and it
is hardly possible for the engagement to be
very remunerative even if the hall is filed.
The sale Of tickets has been the largest ever

Seats are still selling rapidly, and no time
should be lost in securing one. Every seat will
now be held at IS cts. Tickets will be sold

The "Jesse James" troupe was arrested in
Newburyport, Mass, on Monday evening
Rev. Melville Smith, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church in that city, applied and
secured warrants for the arrest. Rev. Mr..
Smith claims that the pictures posted on the
bill boards by the company in advance of
their performance have a tendency to corrupt
the morals of the youth by holding up to
them murder and robbery in an approving
and fascinating manner, thereby leading
them, perhaps, to emulate the same. Section
10. chapter 207, Public Statutes, provides
for the suppression of immoral and indecent
prints and pictures, and Mr.. Smith thinks
that anything which might lead a boy to
murder or robbery is highly immoral and in
decent. Rev. Mr.. Smith, previous to en-
bracing the ministry, practiced law for Is
years in New York and will persona lily press
the charges in the court.
