An old and worthy citizen of Warren, Mr.. Seth
Wctherbec, died on the 22d ult lie had been a
successful hotel keeper, and thriving merchant,
and while i'll the hotel, having learned and seen
! the evils Of intemperance, he not only ceased 10
sell liquor at his bar for time before he left
the business, but became one Of the strongest ad-
yoeates of temperance. We sometimes ask who
are to take the places of these worthy landmarks :
| their honored positions, and not only have laid
the foundations of substantial wealth, but who
are morally rich and strong:
| On the night Of the 10Th ult the house of Can't

The Acadian Hotel was opened to the public to.
day. Two large excursion parties came in steam
crs from Vinalhaven and Rockland and the man
ayers of the hotel. the Clark Bros, demonstrated
their fitness for the place by providing most boun-
tifully for two hundred and fifty guest. The dim
| ing room, with is elegant chandeliers and neat
tables most tastefully arranged presented beauti-
ful appearance, while the r.ch treat was tempting
TO cpcure.
The house is finely located, the grounds rising
Ia terraces from the water to height which com
inands splendid view of bay, islands, harbor and
| town. No time nor expense has been spared to
put house and grounds in the best condition. This
hotel, so long needed, places Castne in the front
rank place of summer resort an objective
p)irt for excursions.
! The visit to old Fort George, the fine State
Normal School building, and the stroll through
the beautiful streets of "historic Cistine,' gem
of the penob>cot," render stay of day or a
molth most delightful.
| The Pcntagoet House was opened two weeks
| ago, and under the management of Mr. d. B.
Dodge, is proving to be excellent hotel. Guests
speak in high terms of the landlord and his table
and rooms. Besides providing for his regular
boarlcrs, Mr.. Dodge furnished entertainment for
nearly hundred excursionists TO day. Parties
from Augusta and vicinity coming to Castine, will
hereafter find that the wants of the elmer man
will he amply provided for, while the eye enjoys
| the feast which nature has so lavishiy spread.
Large parties should send word when they viii be
here. G.
