We trust that our County Commissioners
will not undertake to rebuild more than one
half tho bridges washed away by. the recent
freshct. Ono half Of Them are 'sufficient for
all purposes oftravei, while good fords can be
made to take the place of tho other half.
There is now good chance TO commence res
form in this expensive luxury we have been
indulging in since the war. Our present
board OF County Commissioners are honest,
economical men, and we think tho suggestion
lis sufficient for them.

Smelt fishing at Damariscotta Mills, i. now at
its height. The ice Of the bay is dotted with
nearly hundred of the small huts; within
whose narrow limits the solitary fisherman spends
his dreary hours. silently and rapidly twitching
the tiny inmates of the deep from their wstery
bed. AT the commencement of the season, when
the fish thick, and bite we'll, red flannel is used
for bait and later in the season when they begin
to thin out, the inner parts Of the smelts them
selves are held out as temptation for their
caught brethren. Two lines are used-one .or
each hand-and an expert pair Of hands can build
up pile of them in a day. Last Tuesday one
one man drew out one hundred and fifty pounds.
They average about twelve to pound this would
make grand total of eighteen hundred. Steady
work will accomplish wonders. They are selling

The Tailoring Es,abIishment of Charles
A. smith 4 Co.-The Record Of an Hon.
Orabie and Popular Firm.
This famous house, which was established over
40 years ago by the present senior partner (who in
lSi5 succeeded to the business of the celebrated old
firm of kilham & Mears, so well known to the
well dressed men Of Boston generation ago) has
a reputation for honorable dealing not limited to
New England alone, but which has extended
over the continent hundreds in distant cities hav
ing their measures here, who order by mail every
season., and is generally acknowledged TO lead
in artistic style and finish of the garments they
produce. as well as in the superiority of the fab
rics USED in their manufacture, the very best of
everything in the line of cloths and trimmings
being specially imported by the firm for their own
use, some one of the partners going abroad every
season for personal selection OF the newest and most
elegant goods and the finest productions of for
eign manufactures In 1866, this time honored
firm, facing their once spacious store in the Old
State House too small for their rapidly increasing
business, moved into the elegant building now
occupied bv them in School street, where, with
increased facilities, the business Of the house
doub led within two years. One secret of the re-
maikable success attained by this firm is, that
| buying their goods of the manufacturers them
selves, in large quantities, and for cash, they
secure their goods at bottom prices, thereby en-
abling them to sell the best and most desirable
goods at about the usual cost of the to credit
| buyers" Another feature Of this house is that
the best talent that money eau procure has always
| been found in their cutting department, and the
most SIX illfu journeymen tailors to be found in
the world are always employed in their work
shops. These points, together with the closest
personal supervision of every order entrusted to
ther care inspire the confidence of their patrons
and they are now enabled to turn out better work
than ever, and at the very lowest prices, and we
invite every gentleman, whether in immediate
need or not, to inspect the elegant stock now dis
played on their counters, feeling they will
receive the same courteous treatment that has al
ways characterized this house. decl6-lt
