I am glad to see that. elt the new Pieeat the depot,
being made for our seamen whilst waiting
ror let is
ships' boats in wet weather. A large waiting
room is being erected about half way out on the new
construction.

A novelty, never before mon at Portland fair, was
the Bible stall, where copies of the Holy Scriptures
could be purchsaol at a small cost. Several pounds'
worth were sold, andthat good will result is certain;
but the extent cannot he estimated.
