DR., HAMMOND, Of New York, who has lately
published a novel, gives it as his opinion that
clergymen and novelists ought to be at least
fifty years old before beginning their work They
have each a-lesson to teach, he says, and that
lesson they cannot have mastered until they
reach ripe age. The doctor does not apply this
theory to the medical profession, perhaps for the
reason that medicine is a variable science, which
cannot be learned in lifetime.

Mr.. EpIroR: am not animated BY q de-

I cannot qsiet the question which continually
comes to me. How would .'Rex's" master
feel Gao far away that he does not yet know
what fate has befallen the dog he loved a.
though it were human should he ever learn
of the paragraph in Mondays Journal and
know that no one attempted to correct the
impression conveyed in that report, that
Rex" was q Savage brute" which it we're
we'll to have out of the way? If this were
true in any degree, surely the tears that even
yet flow 30 freely over his loss would not
have been shed. l think Capt. Black would
be first to deny that character of him, else
why should he have liked the dog 80 much
and encouraged his visits? Many who have
known him nearly four years, from q tiny
puppy, will have read with regret that Rex
one of the brightest, handsomest and most
a1ectionate dogs they ever knew. is no more,
and believe that they, as we'll As his master.
will Indignantly inquire why his grave should
be heaped with odium. do not claim per-
lection for the dog, and, although l never
knew him to be cross unprovoked, know he
would not bear blow or kick without show
ing resentment If he flew at Capt. Black
and bit him without provocation, it was the
first time such thing was ever known of
him, and it were well it should be the last.
No one can regret more the suffering and in
convenience to Capt. Black than do, and
the object of this letter is only to let all in
terested know that my husband did not keep
in his possession the savage monster describ-
ed in the item.

BELGRADE.

Farmers are patiently waiting for good
shedding so that they can commence their
winters work in getting up their wood, and
in their numbering operations.-The Golders
of Belgrade Mills are putting into their spool
factory a 4O-horse power engine. The past
fall, on account of the lowness of water in the
pond, they have had to run on half time,
and would probably through the winter.
To obviate this difficulty they have concluded
to run their machinery by steam 1t took
eight oxen and four horses to haul the engine
from the depot to the Mills, distance of six
miles. As usual they are having large
amounts Of spool timber come by rail, and
purchase all the white birch they can of
the farmers in surrounding towns. H. w.
Colder, Esq of the firm, is superintendent Of
a mill for saving spool timber in No. l, near
Greenbush in PenobscOt county, he being a
one third owner in the mill. and the past fall
and this winter is spending most of his time
there. He 10 considered one of the most cap
able business men that we have hereabouts.
The Williams Brick Company have erected
the past fall a large shed for the saving Of
shingles and other purposes. They have
purchased nice shingle machine manufac-
tured by H. Scribner of Gardiner, and will be
ready for saving in . few days. They have
put up tho frame of large kiln shed, which,
when completed. will be the best in the State.
Joshua Damren, one of the Oldest citizens
of this town, died last week from a cancer on
the side of his face he was II years of age.
