Record of Maine Horses.


Thomas S. Lang, Esq, of Vassalboro
makes the following suggestion in the Maine
Farmer:
In letter received few days since from
j. Ii. Wallace, Esq, the compiler of the
american Stud Book" he says he hopes in a
few months to complete the second volume.
And he is desrous that the breeders OF Maine
shall promptly send such history and record
of pedigree and performances as shall truth
fully and substantially represent our horses.
L hope you will urge the horse breeders of
Maine to prepare such statement of noted
stock which has been bred by them or has
been in their hands, and such statement of
their performance as are entirely authentic.
Thus Maine may be represented in work so
important as this. Let them remember that
this book is the record of those facts and per-
formances which our fairs and exhibitions
make public, and which will be found in the
hands OF every intelligent breeder and horse
man in the county. And you may say to the
public interested in these matters that all
pedigrees and statements of distinguished an
imas or classes OF horses bred or kept at SER
vice in Maine which may be placed in my
hands during the holding Of the New Eng
land Fair at Portland shall be placed il Mr..
Walace's hands for his disposal; and l will
give any assistance in my power towards ar
ranging or preparing such statements. And
any statements concerning any animal or
stock in which L have been personally inter-
ested shall be open to the inspection OF all.
do not wish it to be understood that Mr..
Wallace will publish all that may be offered,
but such matter and statements as his judg-
ment may decide proper. And L cordially in
vite those interested in horses to cooperate
and arrange with me to represent Name
horses. Il. s. LANG.
sHYING HORSES
L. A. D., in the Scientific American, says
that horseman should never "shy" himself
when the horse SHES, or show the least ner-
vousness, nor notice it in the horse, and far
less punish him for it, and adds: "Alow me,
having had great deal OF experience in man
aging horses, to add another bit of advice to
nervous horsemen. Whenever they notice
their horse directing his ears to any point
whatever, or indicating the slightest disposi-
ton to become afraid, let them instead OF pull
ing the rein to bring the horse towards the
object causing its nervousness, pull it on the
other side. This viii instantly divert the at
tention or Tue morse iroln . object which IS
exciting his suspicion, and in nmety-nine
cases out of hundred the horse will pay no
more attention to the object, from which he
will fly away if forcibly driven to it by pulling
the wrong rein.

SUMNER TRAVEL.

SUMMER TRAVEL.
This place quite lively with summer travel.
although the larger houses, such as the GAL
pine" and "Glen" are not doing so well as in
former years; but the smaller houses and
boarding houses are doing better, many of
them being obliged to turn away many appli-
cants for board.
THE NEW POSTMASTER.
The citizens of this enterprisiug village are
much exercised in mind at the insult (as they
term it) which has been offered them, by hav-
ing man appointed as Postmaster who was
foreigner and lad to wait two weeks before ac-
cspting his appointment to receive his natural
ization papers.
SEVERE STORM.
Parties from the Tip Top House say that the
severest storm of the season was last night,
the wind blowing perfect hurricane, accom-
panied by rain and hail. OPDYKE.

Letter from Cherryacld.

CHERRYFIELD, aug. ~, lS03.
TO tas Editor Of the fress:
When it was proposed to run steamer
twice week between Portland and Machias-
port, touching at all important landings on
the route, the prevailing impression was, that
while it would be Of the greater e
the business men of this section, it could not
be made in the lifetime of any one who should
take an interest in it, to pay running expen-
ses. About four years ago the steamer City
of Richmond was put on the route and run
two seasons when the Lewiston, larger boat
and less affected by rough weather, took her
place and is now on her second year. No ac-
cident of any Importance has occurred 10 pas
sengers or boat, Notwithstanding the heavy
fogs, which last year, especially, were inces-
SAINT, and the numerous islands, lodges and
sandbars it has to avoid in running up to its
landing places. This is owing, in a great
maasnra. ta tho CONSTANT uatrhfilness and
exceeding carefulness of Capt. Deering, and
the pilots associated with him. Capt. Deer
ing in a thick fog, runs no risk, keeping the
wheels quiet unless he knows precisely where
he is, choosing to wait for something to turn
up rather than hazard boat and passengers
by trusting to luck, while running among
concealed ledges and islands. judge from
the large quantity of freight left at each ofthe
landings and the large number of persons
who, during the summer months, take pas
sage in the Lewiston, that her owners have
no ground of complaint on the score of pat
ronage, and trust we shall never be driven to
the necessity of reaching Cherryfield by
tedious stage route, or have our freights, for
weeks, on the route by packet.

BAR HARBOR.

One of the most important landing places,
on the route of the steamer Lewiston is Bar
Harbor on the easterly side of Mount Desert.
The rush of pleasure seekers to this place has
been constantly increasing from the day a
steamer was put on the route. Notwithstand-
ing the large increase increase in accommada-
tions, hundreds were obliged the present sea-
sonto go elsewhere on account of there notbe-
ing rooms to receive them. Several capital
lists have proposed to erect large and costly
building at that place to meet the present de-
mand, but the opinion of those best informed
is that it will be far better for visitors that
sufficient number of smaller houses be erect
ed to accommodate all who wish to spend the
warm season there. A large hotel would re-
quire so much outlay that its charges must be
enormous during the short time in the year
it would have patronage and thereby drive
the business to places less expensive

BLUEBERRY HARVEST,


Some six or eight miles north of this vii
lage Is the blueberry plain-a tract of coun-
try about ten miles square, from which is OBJ
tained from ten to twenty thousand bushels
of bueberries year. Whole families 60
there and live in tents during the blueberry
season, making from 5000 to $500 each. 1t is
estimated that 500 persons are constantly
gathering berries from the time they get ripe
until they are unfit for use. The business is
conducted on very mach the same plan as are
other large enterprises. The pickers sell TO
persons who go there with a variety of arti-
cles to supply their wants, including rum and
tobacco, at from five to seven cents per quart.
They are carried over land to Bangor or by
boat to Portland and retaied at from fifteen
to thirty cents per quart, the middle men get
ting large proportion of the amount paid by
consumers. 1t Is however of great advantage
to the pickers to be able to sell them without
having to spend time to carry them to market.
LUMBER OPERATIONS.
The principal dependence in eastern Maine
is its lumber. When from any cause that
fails the resources are very limited. Nearly
all the large numbering places are now suffer
ing from the drouth and but little lumber is
being manufactured, consequently all classes
complain OF hard times. Business at Cherry
field, Ellsworth, Machias and Calais, and in
fact throughout the eastern portion of the
State has rarely if ever been duer, but better
times are confidently expected at no far dis
