To Tie Editors of tho ImericdH:
The people of the Eastern portion OF
Maine will be glad 10 know that. a, lat.
Cumberland County aud Western Ma,sc is
aroused TO the ship-buildlng question:
The lumber yards show sign, OF lie aud
a much larger quantity OF material tor the
construction Of ships {, being prepared
than for years before. The people are
beginning To appreciate that Congress j.
trying to DO something FOR our grass
covered ship yara,; and the industry OF
our State Is taking advantage OF the
proffered help.
1t is estimated that over 10000 tons OF
various kinds Of sailing craft will be built
In this immediate vicinity. the coming
season.
W. have the following report from the
ship yards OF the neighboring towns:

IL is said that to meet the present ext

twenty vessels of $50 TO 200 tons burden
are required; and the means of supplyi ing
this dema d seems 10 present serious
difficulty.
The vessels owned in the Eastern portion

The Shore Line Railroad,

We learn from the Bangor WHO tina
the meeting at City Hall, on Saturday nigh,
last, to consider the question of loanins
The credit OF h, city of Bangor in aid Of
this Road was not fully attended. Mayor
wheelwright presided and VIM. p. Hub
bard, Esq, was chosen Secretary.
{. p. Brown. Esq, spoke at some
length, urging the Importance Of the road
to the interests Of Bangor. His line Of
argument was very nearly the same, as
that made by him. in his capital speech in
Ellsworth in November last.
Mr.. Moore, President of the Road. also
addressed the meeting. stating that Wash.
ington aud Hancock Counties would pre-
fer Bangor as the terminus OF the road,
and that when built, this road would be
| of more real benefit to that city than any
oher railroad entering it-that tanneries
aud manufactures would spring up all
along the line, and the large trade OF these
two Counties would naturally come TO
Bangor-that the Lumbermen also would
prefer this city to Portland because nearer.
and the great lumber market of the East.
Gen. G. l.. Boynton, opposed the loan
at some length, saying that these Eastern
Counties had nothing that the people OF
Bangor wanted. and Bangor had nothing
that they wanted. and that the city was
already burdened enough with railroad
l,ans.
The meeting adjourned for one week
The Wig OF Monday also has a strong
article favoring the loan. and calling upon
{ ne citizens of Bangor TO give the subject
,rious consideration, as it l. vital TO their
| interests aud worthy of their aid aud en-
enlargement.
We are not disposed to find fault with
Bangor. for the lukew armncss they have
thus far shown. in this matter. Comniu-
mites will generally act promptly when
they see in what direction their true inter
ests lie.
some OF our own prominent citizens
have given the project of a road 10 Ban
gor. only a cold support, not from any
doubt as to the advantage of a road. but
from conviction that Bangor should not
be the terminus.
They think with Gen. Boynion, that
Bangor has nothing that We want, nor ,ce
anything that they want-;hat We should
be much better accommodated by building
road, Is miles TO Bucksport. They
al que that IN a short time. there will be
Shore Road from Rockland. which could
be tapped by ours-thc distance TO Port
land shoricned-a winter port secured,
and our own trade and that OF the East
retained increased aud conferred here. Ia
al lition 10 this, the route of the rad cx-
tending down our river 10 Underwater
would vastly better accommodate our
numbering interest, than 10 run up river
We have however voted a loan of sGJ.-
600 In aid of the road to Bangor. II 1t
succeeds. well. Otherwise nine -tcuths of
our citizens would favor u terminus lower
down the Penob>cut river.

cane. Several lives were lost in one YES

The tempest has so crippled the weirs In
this vicinity that herring fishermen have
set themselves TO the task of "making all
snug and preparing for winter.
NUMBERING.
Lumber men have about all gone to the
woods for the winter. intending to have
another three months logging. as was had
last winter. The snow commenced falling
last night, and this morning, (the 6th.) we
have eight inches of level damp snow
This is the first sleighing and you may de-
pend, that ii is well improved.
SMALL Pox.
The people are becoming alarmed at the
indications of the spread of the small pox
in this section. In Calais. Eastport, Deer
Isle, n. b., Lubec. and Machias. several
cases are reported. Two cases have prov,
ed fatal. one in Lubec. Capt. Weber. }
one in Deer Isle. Capt. Appleby). The
contagion appears to have been brought
from Boston. Every preeaution seems to
be taken to prevent its further spread. but
before we are aware some new case
arises.
SABBATH SCHOOLS.
The cause Of Sabbath Schools is being
revived in this section. State Superin.
tendent J. P. Higgins, accompanied BY the
Rev. o. NJ. Cousins, has been visiting the
larger towns and holding conventions OF
several schools in Union Conventions.
Those who have this means of instruction
at heart, feel encouraged to make greater
efforts to induce the youth of the land to
interest themselves in the study of the
scriptures for their benefit In this life, and
In that which Is to come.

hip Building.

The people of the 9TH District Will not
fail 10 notice and appreciate the effort, of
their Representative. Mr.. Hale in thu. ear
~ calling the attention OF Congress 10 this
subject, so important to the interests aud
prosperity OF Maine.
The aid or encouragement heretofore
given has been cf title or no practical adj
vantage 10 this great industry. and our
ship-yards have for years been silent and
deserted. The reason has been that. YES
sells could be built cheaper in the Provinces
and elsewhere than in Maine, aud the rea-
sonof this is, that the materials entering
into their construction aud labor is cheaper
there than with US.
The result has been that Maine has been
crippled in its most profitable branches of
industry,-its tonnage has yearly decreas-
ed-and IL ore than all, its carrying trade
has been also lost. Mr.. Hale understands
this matter well; he has given il much
time and attention. and will spare no effort
TO induce Congress to pass such measures
as will effectually revive this long anguish
ing interest. The President also in his
message, has recommended that Congress
should take this subject into serious con-
sid ration. We confidently believe that
these endeavors Of Messrs. Hale and
Lynch, seconded as they undoubtedly will
b, by every member of the Maine delega-
lion. will be successful and that Congress
VIII adopt the proposed measures, where
by the best interests of the whole country
VIII be best promoted. Again, Mr.. Hale's
amendment to Mr.. SchofelGs bill, proyid-
Ing for the construction of ten sloops of
war. so that portion OF these vessels can
be built on private contract, is wise and
thoughtful provision on the part of the
mover. The facilities which Maine pos
sesses for this purpose and the enterprise
OF her skilfal ShipwIights, may thus be
rendered useful.

A GOLDEN WEDDING.-On Wednesday
evening. Dec. 4th, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Clough of Bluehill, celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary Of their wedding day About
sixty relatives and friends including all OF
Mr.. Coughs children excepting daugh-
ter living in Cal, were present. After an
hour pleasantly spent in greetings, con-
CALCULATIONS, and social chat, supper was
served. Another half hour of converse
ton was followed by marriage ceremony.
Rev. A. II. Tebbetts, in some prelimin-
airy remarks. referred very prettily to the
circumstance of MIR. and Mrs. Cloueh's
having lived together fify years. of the
changes they have witnessed during that
time and of the varied scenes of their own
lives. He then performed the marriage
service changed for the occasion aud pro-
nounced them still husband and wife.
After prayer. he presented Marriage
Certificate, containing a record of the GER
emory performed MY years ago, and hav-
ing the signature of Rev. Jonathan
Fisher. the officiating clergyman, affixed.
Mr.. Clough made some very interesting
remarks. He said that he felt under great
obligations to his friends for honoring
himself and wife with their presence on
this occasion, and that he felt deeply his
obligations to kind Providence which
had spared them TO celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary Of their wedding day. Speak
ing of changes, he said that of about fifty
persons who witnessed his marriage half
u century ago, only six are now living,
and Of all the dwelling houses on the road
from Sedgwick to PenobscOt lines, his is
the only one now occupied by the same
couple which occupied them when they
began housekeeping. He said that We
