Freshet I'm the Penobsco,.

BANGOR, March 20-S P. M.-The treshet in the
Penobscot has reached its highest point to-day, as
it is supposed, the cold turn in the weather HAVING
checked the melting of the snow. The ice below
midtown came down yesterday and to-day, forming
an immense jam of about two miles in length
which is now opposite this city. 1t moved down al
II o'clock to-day, the head of it stopping near the
steamboat wharf. The water then rose five or six
leet IN hfteen minutes flowing two feet over the
wharves. 1t then fell off four feet in the course nj
the afternoon, but another ard higher flood is fear
ed tonight, for which the merchants are preparing
by moving their goods.

Our NATIONAL DEFENCES.-The Courier des
Etats OntS, the New York French paper contains
a long article on the coast defences of the United
States &c, In which it is stated that it will REQUIRE
over 10000 artilleriss to fully man and defend the
different castles and other harbor Notifications of
New York; and it suggests that they should be
transferred to the militia in order that the latter
may learn artillery drill and practice. TO enable
them to properly defend them in time of war
There is great deal in this suggestion, and as
most of these castles and forts in the United
States, except those at Tortugas and Kew West
are in the vicinity of large cities we presume the
project could be readily carried out 1t is estima
ted that it would require at least IS 600 arilerisS
to man all the fortified castles and sea coast fortif
cations in the Union. We recollect the distinonish
ed Major Chase, late of the United States engi
neers, one of the ableSt officers of anv service in
his report to the Secretary of War in 1881 d.

ceedly wide sleeves Tight sleeves are made gen
orally with swo seams, open at the wrist, and but
toned on the inside; deep pointed epaulette. with
row of buttons, marking the middle Sometimes
the sleeve is made large enough to pass the hand
through, in which case small cuff to match the
epaulette is worn. An under-seeve of plated cam

this sleeve.

CURES to become accustomed to it; we must
however, confess that it needs really good pure
to look elegant in a dress of this STYLE
Satin and black velvet are worn for WALKING
dress; the skirt plain but very full; the bodv smell
as we have described.
. Black silk dresses are trimmed principally with
nounces, with or without velvet at the edge; they
are placed very high up the skirt when the body Is
without bagques.
For dinner or evening dress the skirt, whether
single or double, is worn very long forming
train: the lower skirt is often of satin and the
upper one OF velvet-both of the same color but
the satin a deeper shade Some dresses are made
with one breadth of velvet and another of silk or
satin alternately.
The most Fashionable coIors for walking dress are
violet deep blue, brown drab, and various shades
OF green; for evening, silver gray, mauve lilac,
China rose light green, and groseIc des Alpes.
The sleeve chatelaine is worn with dresses with
out basques, because, being open to the shoulders,
IL allows the arm to be quite free from the sleeve,
and thus does not appear so heavy; it is how,
ever, more graceful in tue or lace over short
sleeve.
The small Spanish mantes are much worn; thew
are very becoming to young persons, and are then
worn without any trimming; for older ladies deep
lace is added.
