LOST AND FoUND.-A few weeks ago br
liant wedding occurred in this city. A young
gentleman now in business in Boston, though
formerly of this city, was united to one of our
Portland bellies. The happy couple left at once
for Boston. About week after the marriage,
the lady, whose father is one of the officers of
the steamer John Brooks, plying between this
port and Boston, went down to the boat as she
lay at the wharf in that city, to see her father.
Busily engaged in pleasant conversation she
failed to note the flight of time, and the boat
put off for her trip east before she was aware
of it. Of course she became terribly excited on
discovering that she was sailing down Boston
harbor. She flew to the deck; she flew back to
the cabin; she found her father; her father
tried to find the captain, which, after little
delay, he su 3ceeded in DOUG. Meanwhile the
boat was moving majestically down past island,
fort and reef, out into the broad bay. When
the captain learned the circumstances the boat
had proceeded so far that he deemed it best to
continue on his course, especially as the lady's
father was on board and could care for her.
That night violent gale arose and the steamer
was obliged to put into Cape Ann for safety,
where she remained throughout the next day.
The lady, however, was not to be persuaded to
remain qnietly on board Her agony of spirit
created such sympathy among the crew that
some of them venturered to put her ashore in
small boat, which offer she gladly accepted
After great peril the shore was reached, and
in a short time she was on her way to Boston,
where she soon met her somewhat puzzled and
troubled husband The husband, too. had his

boat she thought to return in an hour, and took
the key to their room. Going home. he found
the room locked and could get no answer to his
call. Naturally alarmed, he broke open the
door. but found no trace of his wife. He then
called upon the police and the city was search
ed far and near, but no wife. In his excitement
he telegraphed to the moth er-in-law living in
this city, and filled that house with the conster-
nation that the husband and wife out of their
home, were suffering. But ''alls well that ends
WELL" though the lady will hereafter leave
note when she visits a steamer that is to sail.
THE business of the Eastern s. Maine Cen
trail line has increased so much as Ito necessl-
tate great enlargement of the rolling stock
held here. To make. room for this the old de-
pot site of the Maine Central has been cleared,
and it is hoped that auy further use of Com
mercial street for the storage of cars, however
brief. can be avoided The recent removal of
tracks:to accommodate Cape Elizabeth travel
has compelled the Eastern road to place its
cars on the street in some numbers to the
great roget of its managers and possibly to
some public inconvenience. 1t has even been.
found necessary to station cars beyond the
railroad bridge on account of the press for

street had been retained in its old position,
from which it was removed against the protest

railroad would have been saved much trouble
