local anti State Nctos. Good winter apples can be bought in the market for two dollars per barrel. The subject of Ilev. Mr. Moor’s sermon to morrow evening is; The Temptation, or Want and Supply. Prof. Barbour, of Bangor, an eloquent preacher, will occupy the pulpit of the South Congregational church in llallowell to-mor row. We regret to learn of the death of Dr. D. W. C. Chamberlain, which occurred at bis residence in Richmond, on Monday last. A writer in the Bath Times says his decease is not only a sad bereavement to bis family, but an irreparable loss to the community, and the honorable profession of which he w as a mem ber. Dr. Chamberlain was in the prime of his life and growing in usefulness. There is still considerable activity in the vicinity of the dam. The stone wall of the bulkhead is being continued to intersect with the north bulkhead. The south wall of the waste-way is being continued down on the west bank of the river. The large water wheel lias been set and workmen are getting the shutting adjusted for running the old cot ton mill. Brick work has been suspended on the new factory, and the flooring o’ the first story is being laid and otficr arrungmcnls made to protect the structure from the ravages of the inclement weather, and avoid a repetition ot last winter's experience. It is al.-o recissaiy to provide protection for the shafting of the old mill, which will run through the new. Most likely the old lactory will soon be Stall ed up, affording employment for a large num ber of operatives. The apron of the dam is approaching completion, and is receiving its ballast. It took all the fornoun yesterday in eouit Jo finish the Cullinan case. The jury gave the plaintiffs a verdict for $400. No STS, Janu s W. Bradbury & als. vs. George Cony. In t!iis action the plaintiffs, owners of the Smith and Bradbury block on Water strict, art seeking to establish the center line ot the wall between them and the defendant's blot k. now the Cony House, as the dividing line of the estates. After a partial opening ot the ease, it appearing that the question at t -tie i> mainly one ot law rather than fact, the par ties agreed to withdraw the ease from the jury and report the same to the full court lor their decision. I.ibbcy for plffs, T.teoinb and J. Baker for dft. Some discussion took place in the morning between the court and counsel as to tile as signment of a day lor tile trial i t lluswill. 1; was finally arranged for the trial to commence Monday atternoou. November 2<jth, biing the Mondav next following Thanksgiving w. k. At the last session of Congri ss, the Com mittee on Military Affairs were instructed to inquire into the management ot the National Military Asylum. With this view Hon. Joel F.

Butler and Mr. Glancey, his private secretary, visit ed the several branches of the Asylum, unit ing at the Eastern Branch, near this city, on Thursday of this week. They examined the buildings, grounds, and the farm with the stock kept on it. and also the books, leaving on the 11 o'clock train yesterday. Mr. A.-per expressed himself as plt-ased with what the management were doing for the disabled sol diers. The report of the committee may be looked for soon after the meeting of Congress. The appointment of the Committee was at the instance of Mr. Farnsworth, an implaca ble enemy of Gen. Butler. But the General was pleased to have such a committee appoint ed, being confident that the result would he a vindication of the management ot the fund appropriated for the care ot the disabled men who served their country during the rebellion. The Teachers’ Institute for Kennebec coun ty is to be hidden at Meonian Hall, in this city, commencing ou Monday, Nov. 14th, at 2 o’clock 1’. M., and continuing until the Fri day evening following.

One of the editors of the Farmer recently passed a half hour in the oil cloth factory ot .Messrs. I’age, Wilder & Co., in llalh.well, and gives an account of the method of mak ing oil-cloth carpeting. The cloth is made in Scotland from jute fibre, and is cut into pieces twenty-five yards long. A sizing ol glue is applied, and after allowing a sufficient time to dry, the cloth is again rolled up and allowed to lie until ready for the application of the paint. Before any ot the figures are laid upon the cloth, it receives several coats of a uniform color, generally a reddish brown, as a groundwork. This paint is composed ol linseed oil and ochre. It is applied by draw ing the cloth through a machine consisting ol rollers und scraping edges, which spread tin paint evenly and rapidly over the cloth, oni man standing by the machine, and dipping on paint with a great ladle from a large tub standing near by. The paint machine runs on a track in the room. Alter passing through thi. machiue each piece of cloth is drawn upon one of the racks and there lies twenty-foui hours to dry, when it is ready to receive a second coat, on the other side. Standard goods receive six coats ol paint, three on each side, but a cheap article must be contented with four. After the second coat of paint is dry, the cloth is taken to an adjoining room, and scoured by blocks of pumice stone moven by machinery, and assisted by broad knives in the hands of the workmen, to remove all roughness. This is repeated after the f >urth coat. Forty-eight hours alter the hist coat of paint is applied, the cloth is in condition for painting- This operation is performed in an upper story. Pads smeared with the several colors wanted are on revolving tables; over each pad hangs a pot of appropriate paint, and a brush wherewith to apply it to the pad. By each table stands two workmen; before them is a stationary table across which lies the cloth they arc painting, and beyond this still a tier of racks lor the painted goods to dry cn. ju?t as in the paint-room below. The painting is done from wooden blocks of the proper pattern, and generally eighteen inches square. Each I dock paints only one color, so that there must be as many blocks as there are colors. The workman turns to the re volving table, seizes a block from the freshly painted pad upon which it is lying, lays it carefully upon the cloth, presses it elose by thumping it w ilii an iron maul, and return." i: to the pad. One color being disposed of, lie pushes the revolving table until it brings the next block within reach. In this way he uses block sifter bloc k until nil the colors have been applied and the figure on that portion ot the carpet now before him is complete. The cloth is then drawn forward eighteen inches, aim uihhiiu si'ui >n i»i u receives me same treatment. 11 the cloth is wide, two men woik side by side, cadi painting half the width. The body of the paint used in paint ing the figures is composed of the best oil and white lead. Alter the printing, the fabric lies upon the racks two weeks, at the end ot which time it is dry enough to be rolled up and carried to the baking-honse. The rolls of carpeting are stood on end partially tin rolled to admit air to ail parts ol' them. The temperature of this house id, when the ear pi ting is iimt brought in, at 75 or bO d. gries Fahrenheit but during tiie three weeks* that the roll stand here, i. is raised to UU d grees. 1 his hardens the fabric sufficiently lor li e next op. ration, varnishing, which is done very mue’- like tie* printing, and by a machine in vented ly the proprietor. After the varnish is dry, the edges ot the tii*h are pared straigiit, the number of the design with which it is piintid is alii :ed to the back ot the roll, and it id ready for market. Messrs. Tage, Wilder &, Co., have introduced several im provements besides toe varnisidng machine. One ol tl» in relates to the paint machine, adjusting its po.ition so that the weight o the fabric shall be more uniform. Another is the scouring machine, another in the trim ming of the edges. All these applications of steam power save* labor, and secure accuracy .mu uniformity in the finished product. The use of machinery for printing the figures is. however, found to have no advantage beyond 'H\ing labor; it does well fir cheap goods. :>f\[ is no where umd f*r the first quality.
