American flag. This list does not include the
names of any that are in command Of baiks briggs,
or coasting schooners. In surveying the combin-
cd list of one hundred and fifty shipmasters who

with the fact that certain families, through several
generations, have made profession Of the sea-

Richmond Gardiner, Hallowell and Augusta have
contributed their quota TO swell he large number
of shpmasters produced by this region. Captain
Charles Beck, who was prominent in the steam
boat business, has retired to farm near Augusta.
And then may be mentioned the names of Capt.
Young, recently deceased, Master Geo. Il. Upton,
L. S. N, q native of Bath, and Lieut.. Frederick
l.. lockwood U. S. Il. NJ, a native Of Augusta.
During my soourn at Bath, made several ex-
cursons to places Of interest in the vicinity. One
trip was up the Kennebec, on the steamboat, to
Augusta, where, from the dome Of the State
House, i enjoyed the grand panorama which re-
calls most wildly the scenery of the Rhine.
From the hills on the "Rockwood" farm, near Au-
gusa, / witnessed glorious sunset scene, with
the White Mountains as background.
The visit included pleasant interview with the
Hon. James c. Blaine, who is borne in grateful
remembrance by all who are interested in steam

The Reform Clubs.

Rockland, December l6. A despatch to the
Portland Press, this morning, states that in the
Reform Club convention at Bath, yesterday, res
olution expressing sympathy with the officers in
enforcing the prohibitory law, was rejected.
The secretary of the convention states that this
does great injustice to the convention. The reso-
luton really was to the effect that the Convention
heartily endorses the efforts of the municipal Of
fcers to suppress tipping shops and houses" and
it was tabled, not rejected, on the ground that
it was derogatory to the character of the members
of the convention that it should be considered
necessary to put themselves on record. As law
abiding citizens. the members Of the convention
we're undoubtedly, in sentiment, heartily in favor
Of the execution OF the laws.
