Prof. Gleason at the RiIou.

The exhibition at the Bijou last night was
a rather tame affair; due to the fact that the
horses were very tame animals. After the
usual Introductory remarks horse was in
PRODUCED which was said to be very much
afraid of paper, but he exhibited very little
fear of paper or anything else, even the Pro
fessor's band failing to rouse him to any
great degree. He was thrown, driven with
the ropes on his fore feet, an umbrella was
opened over his head, paper was pelted at
him by two or three attendants, and drums
and tin pans beaten around him. Mr.. Walk
er's horse was driven in the buggy up to a
barrel with fire crackers in it, and made to
stand while they exploded. The genuine
kicker didn't kick, and it was quite difficult
to induce him to walk even. The Professor
apologized for the poor quality of the horses
for exhibition purposes, and promised to
have some young and fiery specimens in the
ring tonight

The FISHERIES.
Further IndIgnities to our Fishermen

Capt. Weber and his schooner John ii.
Craig has returned from the fishing GROUNDS
The Craig, it will be remembered, Is tlle
schooner which recently had man Ill Will
diphtheria on board, who was finally put
ashore at Liverpool, N. s. Since then Capt.
Quigley of the cruiser Terror has stated that
Capt. Weber violated the permission given
him to land the sick man by shipping an
other one in his place. Capt. Weber states
that he had shipped no new hand and had
violated no confidence, but instead had been
so abused that he never proposed again to
put into Liverpool Habor, preferring rather
to endure storms and hardships than to go
where he had no government to protect
him in his rights. On putting into Liver
pool Harbor few days ago he was boarded
by Capt. Quigley and had his vessel search
ed to see if there were any new men aboard,
notwithstanding that the Collector had in
formed the Captain that he was mistaken in
supposing any man had been shipped by
Capt. Weber.
The captain of another fishing vessel
brings accounts Of indignitles to American
fishermen in Liverpool Aarbor which have
not been published. Among the vessels
suffering from this over-zealous watchful-
ness was the schooner Martha c., which,
putting into the harbor during storm, was
compelled to heave to by shot across her
bow from the Terror, and in the morning
was fined harbor dues before being allowed
to depart. The schooner Northern Light
was also driven outside the harbor and out
side the three-mile limit by the Terror fol
allowing some men who lived at Liverpool
to go ashore to see their families while the
schooner remained in the harbor to escape
the storm outside.

SUBURBAN NEWS.


The vacation season thus far has been
quite generally observed by the business peo-
pie of both villages, and many of them with
their families are absent at the sea shore.
The mills and factories are all operating,
some of them with reduced force.
Owing to little financial difficulty the
leatherboard mills has not shipped any goods
for few days, and. no new stock has been
received during the past week. The matter
will soon be satisfactorily adjusted, and bus
mess progress as usual.
The main penstock between the dam and
Haskells silk mill was broken by some I'M
known cause, Wednesday night. and about
fifteen feet dropped into the river This
will bring loss to the company, although
they have steam power to operate with.ss
The river is now entirely clear of pulp
wood. A few days ago it was bridged from
one shore to the other, with small logs piled
several feet high.
New buildings continue to appear in every
direction. Those which were commenced
early in the season are nearly all completed.
The reconstructed Presumpscot House
will show grand improvement over the old
building when finished. The front entrance
will be through commodious office to a
broad stairway leading to the second story
where the ladies' parlor and dining hall is
located There is also side entrance from
the small court off Main street. One-half of
the front on the ground floor is being fitted
up for handsome store. The building
when finished will add materially to the
beauty of the street.
At Cumberland Mills, Messrs. S. d. War
rem & Co. are charging and building new.
Every foot of land owned by the company
will shortly be covered with buildings con-
nected in some way with their paper manu-
factory. 1t is wonderful to note the changes
and improvements made by them at the Port
land & Ogdensburg station during the past
two months, and the company propose to
increase their manufacturing OperationSit to
still larger proportions. They already en-
ploy some $50 male and female operatives in
the various departments, and will require a
much larger force to carry on their business
successfully. With such able managers as
Messrs. Warren & Co. employ, there is little
to fear from strikes and riots among the en-
ployes.
Saturday is to be Saccarappa's big day. All
the mills will be shut down and business of
all kinds suspended, to give the people, young
and old, holiday. There will be grand
excursion to Long Island. The Portland &
Ogdensburg railroad will furnish transpor-
tation.

Temperance Meeting.

Mr.. Thomas n Doutney, the temperance
speaker, held his first meeting in this city
last night. The big tent erected at the foot
of Pearl street, affords excellent accommo-
dation for large audience, and last evening
the chairs in the centre were all filled and
there were many sitting upon the seats
ranged about the sides Of the tent. The pro-
gramme was much the same as in other SIM
liar meetings. Mr.. Doutney spoke of the
evils of intemperance, drawing much of his
material from his own experience. He is a
young man and talks fiuently and earnestly.
Music was furnished during the meeting
both piano and melodeon being used. Mrs.
Doutney sang by request, "Where is my
wandering boy tonight to great acceptance
The meetings will be repeated this and sue
