OUR LOST INDUSTRY.
How Ships were buiIt-Interesting In i-
deMts-fhe old Farmingdnie Shipyard'

Among the industries that have raised our State
IN a front rank in the nation is that of ship build
ING and though we have to 20 10 the shpyards of
Bath and other places near the coast to see this
branch of trade in successful operation, yet once
there was a time, when each community had Its
own ward from Vassalboro' to the rivers mouth,
and a large class of our citizens were engaged IN
the construction of all kinds Of vessels. The con-
centration of this well remembered business at the
larger places has been brought about by various
causes. mostly working through our war OF tue re-
bellion. the rapid advance of steam as power IN
building and propelling vessels, the turning oil
trade into new channels, and other influences 100
numerous to mention. ,..:..o
In former years our merchants drove a lucrative
trade between these river towns, the West lhaes'
Spanish main, and other ports direct Molasses' SUI
Gar and rum were brought to our wharves rom inc
seaports of Cuba and other Isles, and 1t Is not long
since our salt was brought from Liverpool, ,aaiz
or Turks Island straight to Gardner anu fl'S'on.
To supply the carrying trade, vessels were puIl'
from the timber that grew in the al Jaceh, lolcss,
and men from our midst were found 10 oiiccr an.'

and well stocked, and a part Of the plan was Tor

take their pay therefrom. Hay, Apples, potatoes
and produce of all kinds found ready market AZ
our wharves to swell the outward cargoes OF these
vessels, and thus in every conceivable way tne
wheels of commerce were kept revolving vi

A change for the better has been planned in the
arrangement Of our city rooms, under City Hall,
locating the aldermen and council in the northern
section Of the building, where more light aud ali
can be enjoyed; while the police court room and
lookup are to be changed to the south part, which
will prove more spacious for the court and afford
greater security for those who may fall into the
hands Of the police. And now the second story
might be greatly improved by a French roof, to
afford sufficient height to the hall, and by rear
extension, to give the depth required, with rear
entrance and exit, to secure safety IN case of
panic, and re- modelling Of windows, &c, to give
grace and beauty to the entire structure. few
thousand dollars, judiciously expended, would
prove sufficient to give city hall, city council
rooms, police court room, &C., alike creditable to
a refined taste and progressive enterprise, every
way convenient and attractive. VIII our city
fathers immortalize themselves by iHaugurat1ng
and carrying out some plan that shall accomplish
substantially the object desired IT is useless at
present to undertake to build an expensive struc-
ture, when by an outlay of a few thousand dollars
our present building viii afford all the facilities
required for city hall and city rooms for gencr-
alton at least. The subject is worthy Of favorable
consideration.

A writer in the Eastpcrt Sentinel tells this bear
story Mr.. j. G. Sprague of Charlotte, has caught
five bears in all this summer. The last is one OF
the largest ever seen in these parts. His foot
measured eight inches across the toes when they
were spread as in walking. The head was nine
inches wide and fourteen and one-half inches
from the end of the nose to the top of the head.
His skin stretched on the barn measures thirty
five square feet. He was judged to weigh six or
seven hundred pounds. Mr.. Sprague, who il by
no means a small or feeble man, told me he could
not drag the bear Oh the ground. He and his SON
found the skin, head and fat all they could very
well carry from the woods where they caught him.
There was an old bullet in his side the wound be.
ing perfectly healed up. 1t was evident he was
quite DID, as his teeth were worn down very much.
Mr.. Sprague gets about eighty dollars for his five
bears, in bounty and skins; and he hopes to get
one more good one this month, so as to make up
500 this summer in bears. He says he will feel
satisfied with that for one season.
