Interesting to Shin Owners.

| 10 the Editor Of the Press:
In the admiralty Case, Ryan VS.. Mcfarland,
noticed in your issue of yesterday morning, the
defendant called several masters of vessels to
| prove that it was customary in the Cuban
trade, to stand hogsheads of sugar on the skin
or ceiling of vessels not leaky without any
dunnage, where stowage of an extra tier of
sugar could thereby be secured; although fully
aware that such stowage was contrary to law,
and that their vessels and owners were liable
for the damage, to the extent of the full value
OF vessel and freight. And these witnesses stat
ed, moreover, that they had never known any
damageto result to sugar. so slowed without
duunage.
For the information of those masters, wish
to say, through your columns, that know, by
report, OF one Searsport and one Stockton YES
sci of lOa feet depth of hold, which suffel ed,
one to the extent of $1,000 to $1,000, and the
other $500 to $1,000.
These two vessels had been commanded by
the masters who had had them built, for sew
era years. They had slowed Cuban hogshead
sugars without dunnage several times, and no
damage had resulted. At length, some five or
six years ago, the two vessels were sent to Cuba

home were hogshead sugars The two young
commanders felt that they must get in as many
hogsheads as the sold man. had, so they
slowed on the skin, Both vessels sprung aieak
and the results, as aforesaid
Another Case was that of Baltimore schoon
er-ths was in 1868 or 4. On the passage TO
this port. after rather rough passage off Hat
teras lasting six or eight hours the pumps
were tried and water was found in the vessel.
Sounding the pumps, over foot was found.
Alter considerable pumping, however. the YES
sci was at last freed from water and, after few
days, was again tight. But the poor captain
found no peace 1t so happened that the YES
sci went ashore on The south side of Nantucket
The Inhabitants came to her assistance, aud
by throwing over the deck load of moasses
she came off without damage and arr we'd here
having made no water. The ground tier of
sugar was of course, damaged. The port ward
ems could only report no dunnage" and The
vessel was libelied for damage and bonded in
$4,000. The case, as l undo rslood it, was fin
ally taken out Of court and referred to a legal
gentleman who, IN conse quence of the death of
tht port warden, and by some process. of
which the &c ting ashore on Nantucket formed
a part, released the vessel, out the cost to the
owners must have been very considerable

HE MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD moved to
and from Dexter, last year, 1882 tons of Bos-
ton freight, against 1,47S tons of Portland
freight. Yet the same railroad carried more
groceries, staple dry goods, hardware, boots

in the same year from Portland than from
Boston. The Boston freight consists in con-

ton with the position are Weston F. Mill

Milliken is widely known as one of the most
successful and honorable business men in this
city, and aside from his undertaking devotion
to the Republican party, is not known in po-
litical circles. He has, however, served in
the past three Legislatures and proved him
self very useful member, serving with credit
on some of the most important committees
He is best known as business man, and in
all those relations is esteemed for his integrity
and ability. Mr.. Dow has, until the past two
years, been intimately connected with an ex-
tensive tannery with his father. Since dis :
posing Of his interest in that business, he has
devoted himself to public life, having reprel
sented this district in the Executive Council
the pas. three years, where he has been an
industrious and influential member. At
present he is not engaged in any business be-
yond his public duties.

These medicines have undoubtedly perf0rmed more
cures OF Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded OF
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution.
O,h her remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, wbicn is a somew hat
dangerous drug in all cases, and iftaken freely by
consumptive patients it must do great injury; for
Its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
BILE.
Scbenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium 1t is composed of pow
erfui but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs
liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
BID secretons, and expel all the diseased from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
SUMPTION can be cured, and as Schencks Pulmonic
