The dense fog of the past two weeks has been
great detrimcn TO navigation vessels have remain
ed in harbors rather than to face the dangers of a
rocky and obscure coast. Some of those that did
venture have met with disaster and loss. The brig
James Davis, Of Stockton, after waiting nine days
for the fog 10 lift, started down the bay Sunday
She left Saturday Cove Northport and stood toward
Long Island, tackled and headed for the main land.
Nothing seen until she struck on what is called
knights Point, near Duck Trap in Lincolnvillc,
where she became total loss except the sails and
rigging which have been saved. The Davis had u
full cargo Of ice, upon which there no insurance

touching incident happened at the cemetery ia
this city recently. y gentleman was walking along
the aycnue, when he WAS approached by two little
girls, with punches of violets in their hands, who
said "rease, sir, viii you show Mr.. Alfred "
Johnson's grave" While aiding their search, he
asked why they desired to find that particular place.
Last winter, the reply, when it cold, and
very poor, we had a barrel Of flour sent to
us from money that he left when he died. | don't
know what We should have done without it, and we
want to put these flowers OH his grave And with
grateful tears they laid ON the mound their offer
ing OF simple waysidc flowers. II was the dying
thought of kind hearted man, this legacy to those
IN want but how it will spring up along the future
years in blossoms sweeter than those in kingy gar
denS-iowers that will cause the giver's memory to
"5em sweet and blossom in the dust" And what d,
beautiful thought Thar the kindly, compassionate
heart OF one gone before can 50 reach out from its
grave to relieve the suilcrings the living Such
monument is better and more enduring than marble.
