PEAKS IsLAND.-The Gazelle has now fairly
entered upon her trips to the Islands having
been completely renovated and repainted since
the last season, and is as good as new. Yes
terday morning was superb morning to be on
the water, the heat being intense in the city at
an early hour. Quite number took advan-
tage of the opportunity afforded, for a short ex-
cursion down and back, to Peaks Island. The
old bowling alleys near the landing have been
torn down and fine new ones erected about 100
yards to the right of the old Site The Union
House is being repainted and having blinds put
on the windows, and will fully sustain its well
merised reputation this summer We learn that
post Office is sadly needed on the Island. One
man informed us that he had brought 250 let
ters from the Portland office the past two
months for only about 1=ord OF the Island ano
had Carried as many as sixty at one trip to the
city. What then must be the amount for the
whole Island? As there are many summer
boarders who have to depend upon the polite
ness Of the inhabitants, who happen to go to
and from the city, for their mails. it seems as il
some arrangement should be made and espe-
cially when we consider that there are about
400 inhabitants who have a greater or less cor
respondence. There are now forty mine houses
on the Island and two in the course of erection.
We hear that the new boat which is going on
the route shortly (the Libby) will remain all
night at Peaks Island coming up to the city al
an early hour, SO that this charming summer
retreat will probably be well patronized by
boarders from the city this summer.

SUMMER tourists and pleasure seekers can
not find a more delightful excursion than to
take a trip over the Portland & Rochester
Railroad to Gorham, thence seven miles by
stage to Standish, at the foot of Lake Sebago
where they will find the beautiful steamer
Oriental ready to take them over the most de.
lightful and romantic steamboat route in New
England. The sail through the crooked Songo
river (seven miles) is of itself worth the price
OF a through ticket to Harrison. The steamer
passes through lock at the head of the river
and through a draw bridge at Naples The
ever varying scenery in the river, and through
Lake Sebago and Long Pond to Bridgton and
Harrison, thirty-three and half miles, is un.
surpassed in steamboating, in this State at
least. Tourists will find the officers of the
Oriental ready to poiut out object of interest
and to afford them every facility for a pleasant
trip. Good hotel Accommodations will be
found both at Harrison and Bridgton. We
congratulate the travelling public, both o
business and pleasure, on the establishment o.
this route over the Lake. Success to the en-.
terprise. L.

McEvoY's H1BERNIcoN.-The panorama of
ireland, interspersed with illuminated scenes
in the life of St. Patrick, drew a very large and
enthusiastic audience to the Portland Theatre
last evening, notwithstanding the oppressive
heat. Mr.. Winston, the humerist, opened the
entertainment with some capital personation S
of character in everyday life, such as the gos-
slipping old maid, and the officers, prisoners
and witnesses in police court. The singing
by the Misses Emmett and Clements was very
pleasing, and Mr.. Byrne, as Barney the Guide,
kept the audience in a laugh that started the
persp.ration freely. The panorama will remain
three nights longer, and a m atlnee will be given
on Saturday afternoon.

entitled Jethro Throop's Night Thoughts, by
JOHN THOMAS, who is no other than PETRo-

duct him through the usual experience, and
restore him to his home a sadder and wiser
boy, satisfied that the peaceful, honest, and
temperate life of of the farmer is the best and
safest life that can be lived. This is a lesson
greatly needed at this time, and Massey is the
