There has been some talk on the street in
regard to the occupation Of the land on which
the Hiram Clark carriage factory stood be
fore the FIRE ~ a freight yard for the Maine
Central Railroad. As we'll known its facili-
ties at the present freight yard are very in
adequate to the growing business of the city !;
aud the need of better terminal facilities
and yard room for the freight business has
long been felt. Were this lot owned by the
road and filled out toward the river As far as
it could be done it would afford room for
eight tracks. The entrance to this yard
could be made without crossing the track
from Water street. and it is very near the
business portion of the city. This place
appears 10 be a good one aud so far As can
BE- seen is well worthy of consideration.

Miss Gould, the Young lady stenographer
at the State House, is trying new mani
folding device, the Monograph, which is
proving very efficient. A waxed sheet of
paper upon which the writing is made by
stencil is stretched upon a stiff frame. This
lies down on the sheet intended to receive
the impression and an linked roller passed
over the contra side of the waxed sheet leaves
a clear copy of the letter traced by the
stencil. It is quite simple yet very effec-
tive device and will turn off 1000 copies.
