The citizens of Portland have a way of
making success of every public enter
prize which they undertake. The local
pride and determination which spurs them
on to their best efforts cannot fail to be
admired by /" the stranger within her
gates" who witnesses them For the
good of Portland" is a talisman which UNI
locks all hearts and all purses. Led by a
few earnest and enterprising citizens, they
accomplish wonderful results. The Indus
trial Exhibition of last June illustrates
our meaning, IN affair the success of
which was SO largely owing to the efforts
OF Hon. Charles p. Kimball The personal
efforts which he gave on that occasion
were supplemented by an admirable open
ing address in field in which the speaker
is peculiarly at home. The citizens seem
to be pervaded by belief that whatever
enterprise Mr. Kimball starts is bound to
be a success for we notice that he delivered
the opening address at the Maine Charita-
bic Mechanics Association, Oct lst, and at
the Fair Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
| lie, on the 9Th On the latter occasion,
the speaker asserted that party politics had
no place in the objects of the association,
as he had convinced himself, and made a
touching appeal tor the widows and OF
phans for whose benefit the fair was held

and pecuniary success, as we are glad to

The Steamer Cambridge Ashore and
AhOat Again.

| IN saturday afternoon the splendid steamer
Cambridge, of the Sanford line, left this place
for Boston via Camden and Rockland. On
sunday morning the startling report came that
she was ashore near White Head. and would
probably prove Il total loss.
From what was subsequently, learned, the
facts appear to be that the boat left Rockland
at about o'clock, with full freight and about
40 passengers. The evening was overcast,
and before reaching White Head thick fog
dritted in. Capt johnson thought it prudent
proceeding, which was done. At about mid
night, orders were given 10 proceed, the an
chor was raised, and the boat steamed SLOWLY
| ahead Capt. johnson was looking out from
the upper deck forward, and the first pilot, Cant
otlS Patterson, was in the pilot house, listening
to get the bearing of the fog whistle on W hite
Head. Suddenly the Earring and grating which
tells so we'll to the practiSed ears of rock col
lINlon was heard, ard the boat was found to be
hard and fast aground. 1t was discovered that
she had struck on Long Ledge. Il dangerous
reef near White Head. The situation was the
worse from the fact that the tide was full, and
must soon commence ebbing. Fast ON the rocks
with falling tide is almost always fatal to a
large steamer. But it was the good fortune of
the Cambridge to have struck a smooth and
shelving ledge. on which She bore evenly fore
and aft. All efforts of throwing over cargo and
anchors having failed to float her, it was found
that she settled easily upon her cradle, the tide
leaving her on an even keel. BY two Schooner>
that came alongside her passengers We're taken
to Rockland and tickets furnished to Boston hy
railway.
Thc steamers Clara Carita and Iris from
Rockland, and the Ralph Ross and Howell from
Bangor arrived to her aid on SUNDAY Every
effort TO get her on during the night tide proved
unayailmg. But at the noon tide of Monday,
by the combined effort of all the steamers She
was pulled Oft the rocks and towed to Rockland
She was found to be but very little injured. not
leaking at all. and showing no signs of hayi ing
strained while on the reef.
There We're on board but two passengers from
Belfast MIR. III. y. Thompson and Miss Mary
Patterson. All the passengers were very quiet,
and behaved exceedingly well.
The cause OF the disaster must be looked for
IN the dangerous character of the coast, and the
difficulty of navigating large boat in the
fog and narrow channel. With the utmost skill
ana care accidents will sometimes occur. Can't.
Patterson, in whose immediate care the direct
ing Of the steamers course was at the time, is
not only an excellent pilot but man whose
steady nerves and cool judgment are always
on the alert. Nobody imputes any fault to him.
The engines of the Cambridge We're discon-
nerted after She became fast on the reef. As
soon as they can be put in working order she

Edward p. Sipler, who has wife and

months ago, and has been in charge OF a
large circular saw used for cutting heavy
timber in the Navy Yard Yesterday
afternoon, while adjusting the guides of
the saw, which was running at the rate of
500 revolutions per minute, he missed his
strike, when the weight of the hammer
head carried him in front of the saw,
which instantly cut off his head, and next
his right arm The few horror-stricken
employees endeavored to render assistance,
but another revolution cut his body in
