q general rule, it i undoubtedly better for mas
ters of whaleships to attend to their regular BUSH
nes Of whaling, and let alone the wrecking Of
ship, rs the amount awarded rarely compensates
them for the time and labor spent in it, which
might be more probably spent in whaling.
Better let . thousand barrels Of oil 60 footing

and then have two-thirds or q half taken away,
and the greater part of the value of the remain

I~fshipmasters, however, cannot resist the temp
tation they sometimes meet, and ariH be induced to
wreck vessels, let another course be pursued by
them, and simply take the wrecked oil on treighf,
with properly signed bills of lading, at some rate
agreed on between the master of the wrecked YES
sci and the master of the other vessel. The price
fixed on should not be exhorbitant, else the case
might still have to be settled by admiralty or
equity. Had the oil taken from the Napoleon
been shipped by Capt. Morell on board the
Brayan=a, at twenty or twenty-five cents per
gallon, to be delivered in Honolulu or New Bed
ford on payment of freight, it seems to US that
such would, have been a fair transaction. with
which the courts could not interfere and which
would have been just and equitable to all the
parties concerned. 1t may be we are mistaken,
but it strikes us that such a course would cause
less expense and delay to the salvor, while the
underwriters must bide the transaction of their
legally-authorized agent the master.

made, after which the company retired to the base

ing a bountiful supply of ice cream, which to many
was doubtless a novelty. The evening was passed
very pleasantly to all present. 1t has been suggested
that were similar reunions occasionally held they
would have a tendency to infuse a spirit of harmony
and cordiality into hessociety. Indeed we may say
with some truth, that one reason why there is SO
much want of Christian union and cordiality in our
religious societies is the want of more frequent social
intercourse among their members.

SIR: Allow me TO make suggestion, itself suggested
by the powerful temptation presented by the
"frozen mirror of the upper reservoir" play boy
once more." II is this Why should we not have, as
one feature of the Central Park, which will make it
attractive when its other charms chiefly hid, a
large but shallow sheet of water which, being frozen,
will afford opportunity for "athousand pair OF skates
to have " such time" lawfully And when the ice
became rough and broken, or was covered with snow,
il would be an easy thing TO initiate the gallant Ban
gor firemen, and food the surface with water
thus sffording new lease of pleasure"
Skating is a manly and invgorating amusement.
Young people of both sexes always delighted with
it. Here is way in which, at little expense to AFFORD
grand opportunity for its enjoyment Would 70 Il not
be well for our city fathers 10 these days OF physical
degeneracy TO do something like this by way of show
