We CALL THE attention of the Inter

session at Albaugh's Opera House, to
the fact that some of the women in
the audience wear bonnets so high
that the people behind them can't see
what is going on on the stage. We
hope this wrong will be righted also.

NEW BOOKS
A Great Popular cvclopedia.

The third volume of Alden's Manifold
Cyclopedia- marvel of condensed informa-
ton covers the alphabet between the titles
Artemisia and Baptisia. There seems TO be
| little doubt that it will prove to be the great
popular Cyclopedia for the next score of
| years at least The embodiment of an Una
bridged Dictionary of Language and COM
plete Cyclopedia of Universal knowledge in
one work, in large type. with thousands of
illustrations. and all for price less than
people have been used to paying for Die
tionary alone. il not only novelty in plan,
but to the ordinary book-buyer the fact is
hardly less than astounding. Its accom-
plishment will certainly be creditable to
Alden's Literary Revolution.
As to the quality of the work, both literary
/ and mechanical, any common sense reader is
capable Of judging. The Tolumes received
at this office (Which any reader is welcome
to call and examine) are certainly deserving
of the unstinted praise which they seem to
be receiving. The venerable Prof. Day, of
l ale College speaks of the work in the fol-
lowing emphatic terms: The book in all
respects more than answers my expectations.
1t is very neat volume, of form conven-
lent for use, firmly bound, of large, clear
type, with contents of just that general
character which the popular reader requires
comprehensive, accurate and compact.
Its marvelously low cost makes it prize
eagerly to be sought in every intelligence
loving household"

Over the State.

Mr.. L. f. Lunt, of Portland, who rebuilt,
the monument on Steeles Ledge, Belfast
harbor the past season, has taken the contract
to rip-rip the ledge. In other words he will
place 500 tons of rock on the northwestern
part of the ledge for the purpose of breaking
the ice before the foe reaches the monu-
ment. Capt. Weber with his wrecking yes
sci is at work on the job, which will take
about three weeks.
October has been the largest freight month
in the history of the Maine Central Railroad,
its business being far in excess of any other.
The railroad business generally through the
country during the month has been very
large, and almost all the roads find great diff
ticulty in furnishing cars for transportation
of freight. 1t would have been impossible
for the Maine Central Railroad with its pres
ent rolling stock to have done the business
of last month but for the system under which
the cars are handled so rapidly.
The first meeting of the subscribers of the
articles of the association of the Penobscot
and Aroostook Railroad Company for the
purpose of organizing the corporation, was
held in Bangor Friday. The following gen
tlemen were present: Samuel l.. Montague,
of Cambridge, Mass, L. II. Clark, Horace
Haskins. Horatio J. Gilman and Arthur NJ
Clapp, of Boston. j. ID. Mullen, C. w
Mullen and C. II, Montague, of Oldtown,
and W. T. Pearson, of this city. No action
was taken at the meeting as certain papers
were not ready at that time for submittal to
the will of the meeting, and an adjournmen,
was made to-day, the meeting to take place
at the mill of the Penobscot Fibre Company
at Great Works. Their railroad has now
been constructed from Enfield station towards
Piscataquis Falls, distance of three and a
half miles, where the new pulp mill is being
erected. 1t is now proposed by the company
to bridge the Penobscot and extend the track
to the best point upon the Canadian Pacific
line, and have it made billing point. But
eight miles of railroad remains to be con
structed.
