Page 106-107. Mr. Emery Cushing for fi fty years an


inspector of fi sh at this port, has formed a co-partnership with Captain Hans Joyce (the well-known skipper of the fishing schooner ALICE of Swan’s Island) for the packing and inspection of fi sh. In addition to the building now occupied by Mr. Cush- ing on Portland pier, the fi rm have leased quarters at the end of Union wharf. Captain Joyce, who has been “high line” of the New England mackerel fl eet, is having built for him at Essex, Massachusetts a fi shing schooner of about 100 tons and proposes to try his luck one more season before retiring from the sea.

Page 107. The Charlotte correspondent of the


Pembroke Herald says: The consumption of charcoal at the sardine factories in Eastport has made the manufacture of charcoal quite a business here for a small town. There were burned here last year and almost wholly for the Eastport market, 45,000 bushels, which required to make it, 1,100 cords of wood. Among the largest burners were Mr. Asa Phipps, who burned about 7,000 bushels and Mr. Isaac Gardner, Mr. Risbell, Mr. A. Annas, Mr. W. H. Ayer, Mr. Haynes and others who burned from two to fi ve thousand bushels each. This coal would bring after reaching the market something over $7,000. * * * * *


The new fi rm in Brooks for the man-


ufacture of mackerel kits composed of C. E. Lane, J. W. Jones and F. W. Roberts are vigorously at work enlarging their mill, getting in stock and putting in the machinery and expect to be able to open in the course of three weeks. They expect to manufacture two hundred per day and are now receiving orders. Mr. Lane has purchased the entire machinery of the Tottle Kit Factory at Belfast and will soon remove it here. They


will, in addition to kits, manufacture pails, butter tubs, chair stuff s and net buoys. It promises to be an important addition to the industries of the place. The material used for kits is sapling pine of second growth.

RAILROAD, STEAMBOAT AND HOTELS NOTES


It is reported that the International Line


will run their steamer to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia during the coming season in addition to regular St. John, New Brunswick trips. * * * * *


Steamer CHARLES HOUGHTON is


being extensively repaired at Calais and is ex- pected to resume her trips on the route between Calais and Eastport during the present month. * * * * *


A line of steamers will probably be


put on the route between Campobello, the new summer resort, and Bar Harbor, the coming season; unless the Interna- tional Line can be prevailed upon to furnish the required accommodations. * * * * *


The Boston and Bangor Steamship


Company have elected the following offi - cers: President William H. Hill; Treasurer, William Hill, Jr.; Clerk, R. A. Pepper; Di- rectors: William H. Hill, R. B. Fuller, Oliver Ditson, William H. Hill, Jr., W. L. Sturtevant, Samuel D. Warren, Jr., and James Littlefi eld. * * * * *


Steamer CITY OF RICHMOND, which


was taken to Bath for repairs, is already to leave the ways, the repairs upon her hull having been completed. She will, however, remain where she is till the Kennebec opens. The new boilers building at East Boston will be ready to put in by the middle of March. * * * * *


Steamship SCANDINAVIAN, of


the Allan Line, which sailed from Port- land to Glasgow on Friday last, took out 34,507 bushels of peas, 8000 bushels wheat, 5,820 bushels of fl our, 1,200 sacks fl our, 792 sacks fl ower seeds, 180 barrels of apples, 8 cases of boots and shoes, and hoes 169 head of cattle and 506 sheep.

is a thoroughly skilled mechanic, a genial gentleman and will be missed by a large circle of friends. [Portland Sunday Time] * * * * *


ONTARIO, Captain Williams of the Do- minion Line, which left Liverpool 27th


The Portland Sunday Times says: “The ult.,


arrived at this port yesterday and presented a magnifi cent sight as she drew up to the wharf. The vessel was a perfect mass of ice, even for her standing rigging. She experi- enced heavy head gales the entire passage, but sustained no damage other than the breaking away of two boats from the davits. She brought fi fty passengers and 2,700 tons miscellaneous cargo. The BROOKLYN, Captain Lyndall, of the Dominion Line, sailed from Liverpool , Friday for this port. It is again reported, and on good authority that the PARISIAN is booked for this port April 10th


and that she will be one of the last of that


line to run into this port the present winter.” * * * * *


The new steamer being built in Brewer for the Bangor and Bar Harbor Line is now in an advanced stage of construction. She is 130 feet long on the top, 28 feet beam and 6½ feet hold and her tonnage will be about 200 tons. The craft is at present all planked and her main deck has been put in. The saloon will be fi tted up in a manner such superior to the other boats of the line and several commodious staterooms will be a feature not possessed by many boats of her size. The engines are being built by the Lockwood Company of Boston and the two boilers are being manufactured at Rondout on the Hudson. It is expected this beautiful steamer will be ready for work in the early summer and will make regular trips between this city and Bar Harbor during the present season.


Page 108-109. The Belfast Journal says that a number


of enterprising gentlemen in that city are agitating the question of a new boat to run on Penobscot Bay, between Belfast and Castine. A Stock company will be formed with a capital stock of $6,000 to $8,000, which will either build or buy a suitable boat. A new boat can be built for $5,500. It is proposed to make two trips daily across the bay and run regularly to a minute. The


boat will connect at Castine with Barbour’s boats from Bangor to Bar Harbor, thus giving our people a direct communication to this famous summer resort. The boat will also touch at the Cape Rosier Mine. The advantage of such a boat to our citizens can be readily seen. At the Rosier Mine are engaged 100 workmen, who receive $4,000 monthly. They desire some reliable place to trade, which trade can be brought to Belfast if our merchants will give their aid to this matter. The same is true of Bar Harbor. It is to be hoped this enterprise will be successful.
