Cumberland Mills.

y. ID. Warren IL Co have laidIout one farm
into house lots. They have begun a system
of sewerage which is to be completed before
the lots are put upon the market. 1t is report
ed that the above is in anticipation of the
enlarged power which they expect to receive
on the electric wire from their works at
Presumpscot Falls, then additional help will
be required in the recently completed mill.
They have some four miles of narrow guage
railroad around their works upon which to
transport their produce etc, 10 and from the

1t is thought here that the report. of
q syndicate, formed to secure the
water power on the Presumpscot, build dams,
erect electrical machinery to furnish the city
of Portland with motive power for their
various manufactures, together with lighting
the city, was for the purpose of selling their
plant to the company who will furnish light
to Deering and perhaps Portland in time,
but they will find these parties no spring
chickens. One of tie rules of this company
is that their employees must pay their house
rent aud grocery bills, or leave.
The Danes who are employed in this
vicinity, are sober, industrious people,
having no occasion to frequent the courts.nor
to interfere in the rights of others.
Large quantities of poplar wood are being
brought in to use in the paper mill.
Carpenters are quite busy. Painters do
not find much work.

ID. Sewall, who, during the two years of his
stay, won the respect of all who knew him.
1t was difficult fer anyone to follow teach
er so universally esteemed
The close of the fall term shows that his
successor, Mr. Wilbur W. Woodman of Au-
burn, has successfully filled the position and
kept the school still advancing from the
rank it had already attained. All who have
visited the school recognize the fact that the
order and discipline are more perfect than
ever before. and the standard of scholarship
has been continually advanced, as more close
and earnest application to study has been
required Of the scholars. Mr.. sWoodman is
certainly to be congratulated upon the sue
cess Of this his first term among us, espec-
tally as the peculiar circumstances of the case
and the conflicting public opinion have made
the position much more difficult than if he
had been universally supported.
Now that the district has voted to raise
money by special tax to continue the school
we trust it will be so expended as to give the
greatest possible benefit to the scholars.
