The heavy snow storm of Saturday nieAt Iefc
the roads filled with drits and in q pad tondi-
ton generally. The railroads, however, DO
not seem to have Jared so badly as in other
storms, The Monday morning train from this
city, with two engines, forced its way through
the drifts, reaching the junction only twenty
minutes behind the table time, and in season
to connect with the western train. But the

Our harbor continues clear of ice. The west
ern entrance, between Islesboro and NOrthport
is choked by ice. but the channel around the
eastern end of Long Island il free. A fleet OF
vessels went to sea that way on Monday, among
them the schooners Myrs Sears for Boston, ans
Lizzie Poor for Baltimore. The jam at Bucks

Let our readers not overlook the announce
ment OF the "Medder King" who proposes to
make lively campaign among us the coming
season, and to cut wider swarth than any

Mr.. Burrift of Skowhegan, was in our city on
Monday, and represents the lack of corn in the
country above as very great. The severe
weather has stopped freight trains on the Grand
Trunk, and delayed vessels from southern
ports. Mr.. b. is in daily expectation of two
vessels at this port, each having six thousand
bushels.
Capt. John Atwood, of Winterport, on Sat
urday presented US with handsome necklace
that region. We believe it came Us gift from
Mrs. Atwood, and is certainly beautiful speci-
men of handiwork. We make our best bow.

an education, are only aiding sharper to get
that number to be washed and used over again

They are having hard work to hold the Katah-
din at the upper end of the Polar Sea. Capt
Roix, who was in this city on Monday, was
teegraphed for, with the statement that the
boat was so crowded by the ice that she had
twice broken her fasts.
Mrs. Parsons, whose concert in San Francisco
we noticed last week, is not the lady who was
formerly Mrs. Baker, of this city. She has not
sung in public for some years. The error hap
pened from the similarity of names.
