larger than il any other portion of New Eng

SMALL PoXN BATH-A correspondent of
the Lewiston Journal says there is quite small
pox scare in Bath at the present time. About
six or eight weeks ago, Mr.. Barzilla Gannett
and wife of Bath, started to make visit to a
son residing in Aroostook county, and while on
the train fell in with man and wife who were
somewhat i'll, to whom they paid some little
attention as fellow travellers. Soon after ar
irving at their destination IN Aroostook county
Mr.. G. was taken i'll, and died in a short time.
After the burial of Mr.. G., Mrs. Gannett and
her son came to Bath, where she was taken
sick, and within short time she, too, died.
Another son, Mr.. James 7. Gannett, soon after
the death of his mother, was taken sick, and
last week went across the river to Woolwich,
where he died last Saturday night. Thus near
ly whole family has been stricken with some
fatal lnalady within very short time. Wheth-
er it is small pox or not is a matter on which
the doctors have not agreed, some contending
that is and others that it is not Precautions
are, however, taken by the city authorities to
guard against spreading it, whatever it is as
the house of the brother, Michael F. Gannett,
ESQ, is closed, with a flag at the entrance

DEPARTURE OF PRISONERS. Rice
was here yesterday and left at noon taking
with him five prisoners whose aggregate SEN
fences amount to % years. The collection was
made up of Alexander Scott aud Peter Dehan
who get eight and six years respectively fol
robbing sailor on Fore street; Edwards and
Suess, the New York jewelry thieves, who gel
two years each, and Martin Flaherty, who re-
mains four years for assaulting police officer
Bruins who was sentenced for ten years fol
incest will probably leave to-day
The carriage which carried the prisoners to
the depot was followed by large crowd OF
roughs of both sexes. Arriving at the depot
they swarmed into the building AMI around the
train filling every available inch of space. They
crowded up to the car windows, anxious to
speak word to their friends in crime, and
when the train rolled out of the depot the men
swung their hats and the women wiped away
their tears with their aprons. Mrs. Flaherty
was much affected by the departure of her
great and good son. The crowd ,was probably
one of the hardest and contained more noto-
rious characters than has been seen together in
this city for some time. If either of the pris-
oners had made an attempt to break away
from the officers nothing could have prevented
a riot

tic manner, whilst his bass bell solo were the

EXPLOITS OF ABANGoREAN.-Monday night
s,tall, rather good looking man called at the
City Hotel and asked for room where he
would not be disturbed. He was given room
at the lower end of the house and retired after
registering the simple name "Bouker, Bangor
He told Mr.. Martin that he had come from Ban
gor to this city to have time, and he was going
to have it. He called for liquors but did not get
any and left the hotel. He returned Tuesday
noon very much intoxicated. and went to his
room. He repeatedly called for liquors and
was as often refused. After he became partial
~ sober he left the hotel in company with a
hard character, who called for him. He was
brought back to the house at night drunk, and
was carried up to his room. During the night
he became crazed with the liquor he had drank,
and stove up the furniture and smashed in the
door of his room. Yesterday morning he be-
came enraged with his landlord because he
would not give him liquor, and left He went
to the United States Hotel, but was so noisy
that an officer was sent for and he was taken
to the police station, where he spent the night.
He spent quite SUM of money, for when he
arrived be had full purse, but at the station
only few dollars were found on his person.
When he awakes to consciousness again he will
find fine little bill for broken furniture to set
tie. It is unnecessary to say that the name he
put on the register at the hotel was adopted for
the occasion.

IN ReIatIon 10 scaled Cars.
The following instructions from the Treasury
Department have been received at the Custom

The following instructions from the Treasury
Department have been received at the Custom
House, in relation to the sealed car question:
Article 10 of the regulations of this depart
ment, dated March 30, 1876 governing the
transportation of merchandise to, from and
through the British possessions of North Amer
lea, is amended so as to read merchandise of
domestic origin, duty paid or free of duty, may
be transported from one part to another of the
United States over the boundary of the Domin-
ion of Canada, With the consent of the proper
authorities, by routes duly designated and bond
ed for such purpose" Cars must be specially
appropriated for such transportation, placed
under customs seal by an officer of the customs
at the port of departure in the United States,
and remain thus sealed until they sh all have
passed through such foreign Territory and again
arrive in the United States Collectors of Gus
toms on the frontiers may, however, allow rail-
way cars laden for transit through Canada to
remain unsealed, when such cars contain per-
ishable merchandise or valuable animals re-
quiring the special care of attendants during
transit, and when such animals or merchandise
are capable of Identification by specific descrip-
ton in the manifest of the car containing the
same. In all other cases, when it is desired to
transport live stock or otherwise through the
Dominion of Canada IN unsealed cars, the col
lector will detail a regular or temporary in
spector of customs to accompany such cars dur
ing the transit, the expense OF which service
shall be paid by the party at whose request the
same is rendered. All bulky merchandise
which is incapable of being put in sealed cars
may be transported on platform cars.

WE. like many others, have labored under
the false impression that life insurance has
been on the decrease of late, and were much
surprised in looking at life chart the other
day to learn that that the total amount at risk
now is 1872, 043, 40 against SIS ,377 six
years ago, or in other words that the total gain
is over $1250OO0OO.
We were still more surprised to learn that
the Equitable Life of the United States, alone
out of forty-ive companies doing business has
made an increase of over $44,OO0,0O0 or over
one third of the total amount, and this has
mainly been done by the popularity of their
plan of insurance known as the Tontine Saw
ings Funds
Mr.. Clark, their General Agent for Maine,
has some interesting documents explaining this
plan, which capitalists and others will to we'll
to examine. sept2Ott

The FIRST BAR OF IRoN.-The transcript
this week quotes an item from this paper in
regard to an invitation which has been extended
to Mr.. Samuel c. Lewis of Pittsburg, Pa, to
attend the Centennial, as he helped manufac-
ture the first bar of iron ever manufactured in
the United States, and says:
From Bourne's history of Kennebunk We
learn that in 1774 an iron factory was erected
on the Mousam river in Kennebunk. The iron
was made in bars, weighing twenty-five pounds
and upwards. Some of the mines We're owned
by mill owners, "others dug ore and hauled it
on their own account, receiving therefor two to
four dollars per ton. The factories continued
in operation twenty years." A gentleman in
forms us that his grandfather, residing in Saco,
used to go to the factory at Kennebunk for his
iron ore on horseback. One bar hoisted upon
the saddle was aload. Before 1774 all the iron
came from England, but the signs of the i'm
pending revolution led to the erection of this
iron factory as a matter of precautlon. The
first iron works were erected ION the island a
little below the lower dam. Another similar
establishment was built soon after at the
western end of the lower dam, Three salt
works were also put in operation at Kennebunk
during the war, altogether making it busy
place then.

CAUGHT AT LAsT.-Capt. Willard and those
who have been trying to capture the sea ser

the Centennial. 1t is seven feet long, and it
has a head twenty-five inches in circumference
1t has pair of formidable jaws, thickly SCI
with teeth, and prominent fin, above and
below, running the entire length of the body.
