Launches, cutters and gigs, Rob Roy canoes
and the tub race. There were seven entries
of twelvc-oared cutters, five of which were
from her Majesty's steam iron clad ROYAL
Alfred, the fifth cutter coming in first; the
gig OTHER Majesty's ship Raccoon won the
race for gigs, and crew from the Royal
Alfred won the first prize for launches Capt.
Stewart of the Seventy eighth Hianders
came in first in the Rob Roy canoe-race. The
tub-race was a great success. The partici-
pants, all seamen from the Royal Alfred, had
spent days in preparing costumes and fitting
keels to half-hogsheads. When the word
was given they went off speedily and made
an excellent race. The sun came out finely
before noon and the crowd sensibly increased.

DamariscOtta.

| Damariscotta.
The party from Augusta which started to
attend the exercises at Pemaquid, were in
debted to General Hall while at Damariscotta
for his company and a passage to the famous
oyster shell deposits, about mile up the riv-
er from the bridge. These wonderful depos-
its are visited by thousands. They still con-
tnue subject for wonder and speculation.
Visitors carry away shells as a memento of
what is yet puzzle to the wisest philosophers.
The prevailing opinion appears to be that the
Indians deposited them there, but this n.y.
pothesis has its difficulties.
The country around Damariscotta and New
Castle is pleasing to the eye and the fields are
fertile and well titled, upon both sides of the
river, both above and below the village. The
village proper lies on both sides of the stream,
being partly in Damariscotta and partly in
New Castle, the river dividing the towns. In
the times when ship building was brisk this
was lively place, and many of the citizens
acquired handsome properties by their YES
sells. At present it is dull, but will probably
not remain SO great while. 1t has now rail-
road communication, two trains day arriv-
ing and leaving, and receives the morning
kennebec Journal at 10 l-2 A. NJ, so that it
has the news of the day about three hours az
ter the daily papers are distributed in the
cities where they are published.
just above the bridge is an excellent site
for dam, which would bring into use a wa
ter power of an extensive and valuable char
acter. Some years ago an attempt was made
to improve the privilege, but failed through
of the land owners. The matter is again agi
tated with better prospect of success. Water
privileges are so numerous in this State that
there is no difficulty in obtaining them at fair
prices, so that whoever asks more than
privilege is fairly worth has to keep his prop
erty, while some more shrewd neighboring
place pockets the business and the gain that
his folly and greed allowed to escape. There
is capital enough in the village to own, con-
troll and improve this water power. When it
is done, if well done, there will be something
for all willing hands to do, and the village will
resume its former appearance of thrift and
activity. The railroad stimulates the people
to new life, and with this and good harbor
and passage to the sea they have all the
means of communication necessary.
In culture there are few villages before
this. An academy has been well sustained
many years, affording privileges for educa-
ton which have been well improved by the
rising generation. Here reside some of the
most active and best cultivated members of
the Knox and Lincoln Musical Association
A full band is also organized, and under sue
cessful management, furnishing better music
than many larger places can boast. There is
good blood in the place, and with an improv
ment of opportunities which we trust will soon
open, this village and country around it will
become enc Of the garden spots of Maine.

The Portland Press gives an instance o,
remarkable presence of mind. The life OF
Minnie Hanson, little girl six years old
was saved at Wocdfords Corner, on Tues
Day forenoon by most astonishing feat of
her little playmate, Static Dyer, aged seven.
Inc little ones were trying to draw ten
quart pail OF water through slippery curb
when the youngest pitched forward into
about four feet of water While the other
children ran away in fright little Static
grasped the pole to which the pail was at
tached and with strength which must have
been supplied for the task she held her mate
above the surface and cried for assistance till
the workmeu on the church near by could
draw the child from its drowning situation
Mr.. John A. Carter was first to reach the
sufferers, and with steady hand and word
of cheer brought little Minnie safe to the
clasp OF her grateful mother. f

Notwithstanding the horrible accidents on
railroads, this means of conveyance is about
as safe as any, as statistics will demonstrate
The reports of the old Maine Central Company
show that up to the time the roads were con-
solidated, that company had been in opera
ton twenty-five years, and had conveyed
eight million passengers, with no loss of life
In all that time no claim was made on the
company FOE damage in consequence of injury
to any passenger on the road. We have no
doubt that the old Portland & Kennebec road
can show equally as good record.
