We learn that Mr.. Barrett Of the Eagle
Island Light has been removed and Mr. Clay
Of Bluehill appointed to gil the vacancy. 1t
will be recolected that "Card" was pub
lished by Capt. J. D. Leach, sometime in the
winter, making grave charges against Mr..
Barrett, which attracted the attention Of the
proper authorities. Alter an inve tisation
the matter, Mr.. Barrett has been removed.
and the old keeper, Mr.. Clay, has been re-
appointed. Wesupposed that no man would
make such charges as those made by Capt.
Leach, unless there WAS good foundation for
them. And if they were but half true, Mr.
Barrett had better remain on the land, and
leave the responsible duties Of a Light keep
er to more humane persons. We should al
SO judge that his neighbors on the Island had
not the highest opinion Of him as u public
officer, and as a man Of integrity. by state.
ment which we have now before us signed by
half \ score of them.

expenses Of repairs are enormous: the trade

not exist, or have been diverted in a measure
to other channels; and the receipts do not
pay expenses. Interest aecumulates; the
tl)ating debt becomes troublesome; an effort
must Dc made for new loan to fund the
