YARMOUTH, JAN ID, 1905.
To the Editor Of The Press:
Those who have been accustomed to visiting
Yarmouth before the war could count six, eight,
ten or perhaps more vessels of different sizes
in process of construction. In passing through
tie different ship-yards to-day, 1 could scarce
ly find piece OF timber large enough for the
keel of yawl boat. Arrangements are being
made, however, to build a brig and a ship the
coming season. shall in future letter speak
of the various industrial pursuits, and in this,

FIRST PARISH CHURCH
For several years the First Parish had been
plans had been proposed for remodelling t.
none of which met the approval of all parties.
At last it was agreed to sell the old church and
erect new one. A lot was purchased nearly
opposite the old church, and the work COM
menced early last spring In June the build
ing was raised, and it is now completed. The
building committee consisted Of Messrs. Giles,
Loring, Reuben Merrill, Reuben Prince and A.
L. Loring, who have carefully watched the
progress of the work from commencement to
completion. "a-i. f5 Fae 4

Messrs. Pratt & Hatch; the upholstery work

There may be churches in your city that cost
more money, but so far as / know, it has no

This was the reason why slave labor was al
ways so poor. The slave was not allowed to
think; and this was done, in NJ Beecher's
opinion, not because the growth of the slaves
mind would make him dangerous, but because
it would make him expensive to his master
The barbarian can be cbeapiy kept, but the civ
ilized mantle thinking man-s made up of
expensive tastes, which call imperiously for
qualification.
~ The question ought to be asked whether
man born with a small brain must always take
a humble place. And the answer was, yes.
"By giving man a small brain, God gives him
a strong hint of his proper position. Such a
man however can make the most of what he
has by dint of conscientious industry. And
education can make him larger man than his
native abilities would seem to admit of his be-
ing; but education could never make him a
large man-such an one "must wait till after
the resurrection, and then perhaps he would
stand better chance
After treating in very happy wayof the re-
lation of man to his occupation and of the
necessity of his growing outside of it, if it did

THERE has been some pretty tall thieving of
late IN the usually quiet village of Gorham.
We learn from the Star that for long time
the people have suffered losses of almost eve
ry kind of portable property, in and about the
village. Robes and harnesses have been arti-.
cies that have disappeared wherever they
could be got at, either in stables or ON teams of
every kind. Bags of corn have been stolen
from loads, and, indeed, nothing has been safe,
when exposed to the eyes and hands of certain
persons who have been known to be living by
their wits. An organization, having for its
object the ferreting out of this business, has
been active for some time, and few days ago
the matter eliminated in the arrest Of several
parties. A Mr.. Moulton and his two sons, liv-
ing in the village, were arrested several days
ago.
Tuesday the parties were examined before
Trial Justice Mcclellan, and the old gentleman
discharged. Charles H., one of the boys
pleaded guilty to one complaint and was held
to bail, waving examination on the other CON-
plants. The other boy was also held, although
We do not learn that he has confessed any
thing. Other parties are suspected, and when
the bottom OF the affair is reached it will prove
to be an extensive gang of hard customers.

The Bangor Wing says smelt fishing is now
lively on the rivers of Maine. On the Penob-
scot the catch is mostly made through the ice
by nets, between Hampden and Orrington at
Mill Creek-the fishermen living in small
houses on the ice. These delicious little fish
have of late years become very much in de-
mand at the eating houses of New York, Bos-
ton and other large cities, and have advanced
in price within few years from four or five
cents per pound to twenty or Twenty-Five
The fishermen on the Penobscot are now get
ting twenty cents in New York. Common
people thereabouts cannot now afford to eat
smelts.

ty has been re-established B. d. Merrill, Esq,

The Wing says the clear, cold weather and
good sleighing continue. There is just snow
enough in the woods for logging purposes, and
lumber operators are doing an excellent bust

larger than was anticipated in the fall.

As George Gurley, collector for several
business firms, was proceeding home
ward, on Wednesday evening between Z
andS o'clock, when zeal the junction Of
Adams street and Brinkley avenue, after
leaving Orleans street, he was knocked
down by two white men, who gave him
a severe cut over the left eye, and thump-
ing him severely In the back, bringing
him to the ground. While PROSTATE,
they rifleG his pockets of $2l he had col
lected that evening to be paid over the
next morning to his employers. They
also took a sual memorandum book,
but after tearing tn front pocket to see
if it contained aught Of value, restored
it, together with the papers and memo
rands, which the thieves evidently did
not want. Mr.. Gurley is 6 small man,
bat would have defended himself vigor-
ously but the villains rendered him hors
dc combat by well aimed blow on the
left eyebrow, leaving an ugly mark. The
same night, 1t is thought the same
knights of the road were at work to e.
feet an entrance in the grocery store Of
J. K. Dyle on Delsp street, in the same
neighborhOod, OF which Mr.. VIM. Sides
is business manager. Between IL and !
O'Clock Mr.. Sides was awakened by q
noise, and became conscious that some
thing was going on not exactly legiti-
mate. He accordingly left "the couch
where innocence reposes, " and when he
opened the door the nocturnal operatives
fed, leaving their task unperformed.
They had the exact size Of the lock and
had already bored four holes and were
engaged on the fifth when precipitately
put to higbt. A few minutes mere and
the lock would have dropped out aud the
rogues have had free access to the prem
ises. The city and environs are infected
with the most villainous characters, and
it would be an absolute blessing for the
community if some Of those gentlemen
who persist in carrying arms, would turn
their muzzles toward these marauders
and blow 2 few heads off.
