BowDoINHAM.-Our correspondent writes
The Bowdoinbam base ball nine expect to
play with the PresumpscOts of Portland, and
the Wiscasset nine on Memorial Day at this
place Nathaniel Millay bought p. X. Mil
lays right in his homestead farm at Wednes-
days auction sale for $50 This merely
gives him possession of the farm for one
year, until the foreclosure on the farm has
run out.-Business at the mill is brisk
Three schooners are now in the river. Car
loads of edgings arrive daily from Richmond
To-day postmaster Jack of Bowdoinham
bought a section of the old lock boxes which
were taken out of the Bath Office two years
ago last winter. There are one hundred in
the lot The old fashioned call boxes which
this new purchase is to succeed in the Bow
doinham office also came from Bath hav.
ing done service there when the post master
had his quarters under the Sagadahoc
House some thirty years ago. They in turn
will be put on the market once more to give
some aspiring village an opportunity to have
its mail put in special case instead of be-
ing left loose on the pantry shelves.-T. b.
Reed, of BowdOlnham, has once more
backed up his belief in the profitableness
of sweet corn raising, by preparing
twenty acres of land for that crop and has
the seed already planted in about one quarter
of that. The fact that his experience every
year, since venturing into this branch Of
farming, has been such as to warrant larger
acreage each spring, certainly proves that 9
careful farmer in this vicinity can make
sweet corn paying crop. The interest in
a canning factory, which was manifested q
short time ago in Bath was not confined to
this place. New factories are being set uI
in various parts of the State, the one nearest
US being in Yarmouth where the building
and furnishings for three hundred thousand
can pack are nearly completed. The two
factories at Auburn, which were started las,
year and put up half million cans, will
enlarge their business this fall The two
small factories at Bowdoinham will increase
their pack about twenty-five per cent and
be supplemented by new concern, which will
not only put up its share of the corn, but
make its own cans. Surely some of this
business ought to find its way to Bath, and g
very little earnest work will result in its
coming here next season, but it won't come
