EVANSVILLE, March l3.-Mayor Jacob,
Of Louisville, who went down the river to
distribute money to the sufferers by the
flood, sends the following report Of his
trip: The flrst point Of inquiry was at
Uniontown, where It was found that 81 900
had been sent by John shilleto, Of Gin
cinnati; $500 by James G. Bennett; this
81, 500 being the only foreign aid received
by the town. The impressions were that
Uniontown was badly afflicted, though
Mr.. ]. G. Hamilton informed Mayor
Jacobs that the wants 'of the needy were
being met; he seemed disinclined to accept
aid. Mayor Jacobs, however, gave
him check for $500, expressing the
hope it would be iudiciously spent.
Raleigh, a very small settlement, was
found substantially annihilated, except two
families. The balance Of the hamlet had
retired in the country. Mayor Jacob offer.

offered to leave sum commen'

people were getting on nicely. He left

LICENSE IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The alarming increase Of intemperance
in the license towns and cities Of Massa-
chusetts is causing a great deal Of anx-
iety in that State. For instance, in Bos-
ton, the past year, there we're $4,000 ar
rests for drunkenness, besides 1000
more arrests directly traceable to drunk
enness or $4,000 all told. Were
drunkenness prevalent TO such an alarm
extent in Lewiston and Auburn there
would have been nearly 1000 arrests in
these two cities for drunkenness, the past
year, whereas there have been but serenity
nee arrests for this cause during the pas,
municipal year, in Lewiston and Auburn.
In other words the arrests for drunken
ness in Roston are twenty-five times
larger, according to population than un-
der the Maine law system, much as the
grog shop power loves to accuse prohlbl-
ton of increasing the consumption Of Ii
quor. Boston has 5000 liquor saloons,
large number of which are unlicensed.
The general agent of the Boston Society
for the prevention of cruelty to children,
states that Is per cent of the work of
that society is caused by drink. In 1882,
of the l745 children whose cases came
before the society, 1892 had Incorporate
parents. Recently the society had a
number Of cases of drunkenness among
school children in the city, where they
had come to school intoxicated. One
case was that of smart girl, about ii
years old, who was found to be falling
behind in her class, and who it was as
certained had been indulging in liquor.
The young men Of the city are alarming ly
addicted to drink. The commissioners of
labor, in their official report, have state d
that 81 per cent of the crime committed
in this state, was caused by indulgence
in intoxicating liquor. Surely, there is
every reason why friends of temperance
in Maine should feel encouraged over
what Maine has accomplished, while they
redouble their energies in educating pub
lie sentiment and informing the public
conscience. -Lewislon Journal.

OBSERVATIONS By THE WAY.


Editor Democrat:
Visiting friends in North Franklin,
lately. we observed the difference in the
occupations and enterprises, between
tina; locality and our own.
The Sandy River Railroad marrow
gauge, from Pennington to Phillips,
Is miles long, is the hope and depend
ance of that part of Franklin Co. When
frs; finished two years ago, the stock
was worth % cents on a dollar. but has
advanced steadily, as public confidence
increased, until it has recently sold for
so cents. They are now doing good,
safe and growing business. The day l
was at Phillips, they took one hundred
and fifty dollars for freight alone, and
twenty-five dollars day pays the running
expenses. And it looks as though, in a
few years the business of the road would
be too much for this kind of railroad.
These "baby" engines are not half so
heavy, or large, as the standard ones,
but they are little giants to pull, and
viii clear the roads Of snow drifts, as
as readily as our own larger con-
Germs; and | believe this road has only
missed one train this present winter.
They climb too. for there are some up
grades, about 600 feet to the mile, and
short curves that would make your head
swim. When this road was built. two
years ago, the little village Of Phillips
was no larger than our Andover, and way
up among the hills about the same but
now the village has grown one half, and
you ought to see the mills and other en-
terprises that have started up since.
The letter f. mills, alone, eleven miles
from the station, sends down 25 thous-
and of boards day for the little cars.
They load six thousand feet on car,
Just one half what we do, on our road.
And in ascending some of the grades,
they have to back up for mile or two
when heavily loaded, and then get on a
high speed, to overcome the hill.
In the village of Phillips there are
large, handsome blocks of stores and
many very nice dwellings. And, was
told that small tenements were not to be
had, and of course rents and real estate
were very high.
l called into the Photograph Office
and saw the famous bear, that was, kill
ed by Gilbert Kempton and Bert Curtis,
last fall, in West Phillips, by watching
under the apple trees and which weigh
ed ASP pounds. 1t is mounted and on

exhibition there, and looks rather

er savage, and as II man hau no ousl-
ness with such beast in the night time.
The Photograph is published every Sat-
urday by Mr.. Moore, and probably did
more toward getting their railroid 60
ing, than any other one influence. And
is doing more to keep the stream of city
company running to the lakes, and
through that section, than even the big
trouts, it records so faithfully.
At Strong we visited the clothes-pin
factory of j. w. Porter Il Son, which
turns out thousands of barrels of this
article every year, and is the chief enter
prise of the village. A large handsome
mansion was lately built by one Of the
Porters, who lived but short time after
it was finished to enjoy it,-thus many
things earthly, deceive us,-one buildeth,
and another enjoys the good of it.
Following down on Sunday, we stop
ped over at West Pennington, with Mr..
Warren Weeks, a man of much enter
prise. He showed me the handsomest
stallion l ever set my eyes on, weight
1900 pounds, and head so high the tall
est man could not reach his ears. This
horse, and three of his colts, one, two
and three years old, Mr.. Weeks brought
from Illinois, last fall. They are rich
Hamiltonian blood from Kentucky, and
can step fast on the road, and also, are
built well for work horses.
On our way home, we called on our
worthy Commissioner Of Fish and Game,
Mr.. II. o. Stanley, whose "la,ch string"
always hangs out 10 his friends. He
thinks the fish and game Of our State are
increasing, under the present laws; and
that in few years there will be an
abundance. Mr. s., showed me hand
some string of fox skins, taken this win
ter by himself, and large lot Of very
pretty, and well tied artificial flies, that
looked irresistible, which he ties, when
leisure moment presents itself. His
little son also showed me pair Of white
face steer calves, that bid fair to make
splendid cattle.
We found the roads generally narrow,
often having to wait at small turnout,
to pass even single teams; and in pass
ing double teams, the single one had to
unharness, to get by. One common in
convenience we everywhere observed, was
the scarcity of water-a regular famine.
The Sandy River supplies chiefly the vii
lagos of Phillips and Pennington, and
many farmers have TO melt snow for all
purposes.
Arriving home before the late severe
storm and cold, gives us contented SEN
sa,ion, and favorable comparison Of our
own good County Of Oxford, with the
condition Of her neighbors CIR.
