SUBURBAN NOTES.
Ferry Village.


Mr. Hanson has opened a confectionery
store in the building formerly occupied by Mr..
G. W. Doughty as a carpenter shop on Sawyer
Street.
An interesting lecture on the "City OF Co
lumous," was given at the Methodist church
on Tuesday evening. by Mr.. f. W. Fairbanks
OF Gorham. He gave his experience of ex.
posture on the wreck and some canvas scenes.
A call is issued, requesting the legal voters
to meet at the school house on Pleasant street,
thursday, March 18th at 7.30 o'clock p. M,
when the following articles will come before
the meeting: To choose moderator to preside
at such meeting: to choose clerk and agent
Tor the district, and to transact any other BUSH
ness that may legally come before the meet
ing.
Scarbore.
A question of interest to the farmers in this
vicinity is whether Burnham & Morrill, will
pack corn at Scarboro this year or not. The facts
are these: The books have been sent to their
AGENTS here with the instruction to engage
corn at three cents for twenty-six ounces,
which is about $1S4 per hundred, reduction
OF 10 cents from last years price. The eight
rowed corn does not give such good satisfac-
ton to packers as the larger seed, SO the agents
are instructed to engage only 80 acres of that
variety. The agents have canvassed enough to
learn that they cannot get corn at that price,
and will SO report. Burnham & Morrill, have
| sent their books to all of their shops offering
to pay at the rate of $1.64 per hundred, with
the exception of two shops, where the price is
less. So, from present appearance it is doubt
full II they run the shop at Dunstan's Corner
| this year. We are not certain that they can
afford TO pay any more. Corn is very low in
the msrket,-never more so. They used to
make the packing OF sweet corn profitable to
| themselves, but they cannot do SO now The
Nutters' OF Cane Elizabeth sold their corn
this winter for SLIGO per case, and are said to
| have lost $1,000. AT the 'Red Brook factory
they sold for about the same price. So it is not
surprising that the price to be paid this year
has been reduced. In country towns away
from the market perhaps they can raise
corn at that price, and it may be that even
here, where bay is $40 per ton and potatoes
| 80 cents per bushel, there is as much money in
sweet corn as in anything else; but farm
| ers 90 not think SO. Had they offered the same
| as last year much more corn could have been
engaged than was planted last year As it is,

Boston Journal)
The lasters' strike in Lewiston and in Au-
burn is about at an end. Gay, Woodman &
20. tuesday, as stated in the Journal, started
their factory with twenty lasters, and will in
troduce lasting machines to do the work here
after, instead OF giving employment to men.
Ara Oushman & Co., of Auburn, have already
sixty lasters at work and two lasting machines,
and will introduce two more machines if ne
csssary to carry on their work AS each ma
chine will do the work of from four to six men
at saving of about 80 per cent, their intro
dnction strikes death blow at the dictation of
the Lasters' Union. How long a union has
existed there none of the manufacturers know.
The first intimation of the fact was when the
lasters' committee waited upon the firm of
Ara oushnan q Go. to compromise the pro-
posed reduction in the price paid for lasting
soft box toes. As the firm has always endeay.
ored to deal literally and directly with its en-
ployes, they deemed it an intrusion for a conn
mittee to seek to control their action ON the
same principle as though they were voluntarily
increasing wages as has several times been
done IN their factory. The refusal to recognize
ibis committee appears to have precipitatgd
the strike, and seventy men went out, At
Gay, Woodman 81 Co.'s the employees were
some time since notified of the proposed reduc-
ton, that the prices paid might more nearly
correspond with what Massachusetts It's manu-.
facturers were paying. The situation was ae-
cepted by the men, and the point upon which
they base their action is that the firm. subse-
quent to this agreement, did away with certain
work performed by the lasters, but which. in
stead OF reducing their compensation, had an
opposite effect. On this protect 40 men went
out and the factory was shut down five DAYS.
Many of the strikers are men With families
and are dependent upon their weekly earnings,
but none will be taken back till they separate
themselves from the Lasters' Union. The
manufacture of boots with soft box toes was
introduced by Gay, Woodman & Co. four
years ago, and the price paid at first has been
continued, Notwithstanding the fact that Mas
sachusetts factories were paying Is cents per
dozen less than they were. The reduction
agreed upon was only IL cents per Dozen The
average wages made By tie lasters has been
from $12 to $15 per week, and, notwithst and
ing the slackness of orders the present winter,
full crews have been retained, and the men
have been allowed to divide the work as they
desired. Thus far the strikers have only sought
to lntimidate the men who have supplied their
places By soothing at them upon the street and
1t is not probable that any violence will be at
tempted. ~

A Coed Exa,,u,e.

The late Samuel Polleys, who deceased re-
Gently at Madison, Ind, was remarkable for
his benevolence, and during the last sixteen or
eighteen years he had given away to various
objects of charity around him the large sum of
$4,000. Whenever worthy object or cause
was within his reach, his heart and hand were
always open. He left, by his will, the bulk of
his property to his relatives in this city, leav-
log but few public requests, having done SO
nobly during his lifetime.

circles Miss Grace Dalton of Salem, whose
voice, remarkably rich, pure soprano, of ex-
cellent tina5fe. and great sympathetic quality,
was heard to best advantages in one of Grsn-
berg-Hoffman's German songs, and also in the
beautiful "Angel at the Window" In re-
Spouse to an encore Miss Dalton sang another
pure, her method of the best, and she sang
with exquisite TASTE Although her voice is a
soprano. it is SO rich that this fact, together
with her stage presence, forcibly remind the
listener of Mrs. Annie Gary Raymond.
The other participants were of home talent.
with the exception of Mrs. Frye,now of Salem,
Portland girl and whose agreeable contral-
to was heard with great pleasure in connection
with Miss Daltons in two duets of Mendels-
sobn's. Miss Dyer and Mrs. j. p Thomas
sang Kucken's LOVELY STAR with much ex-
preston. Mrs Morrison, Miss Webster, Miss
Tarbox and Mrs. Farley, all gave great pleas
ure. Mrs A. M. Smith rendered piano solo
with all that brlliancy snd correctness for
which she is noted. Mr.. A. E. Pennell dis
played his beautiful tenor voice with great eff

Lillian Joyce, sued Frank Curtis for $3.50, three
weeks salary, due her for services rendered in
the Joseph Wheelock combination, and re-
covered a judgment of $3.50 and costs in the

Howe and Hummel, in behalf of the defend
ant, appealed from judgment, claiming that
suit should have been brought for breach of

the suit. To test this question the case was
taken to the Court of Common Pleas and ar
gued at special term, where judgment was rem
