SQUIRREL ISLAND, June 90, 1877.
The number Of persons has been increasing on
this Island for the week past making the number

Mr.. A. S. Bangs Of Brunswick, Mr. Hubbard of
West Waterville, Rev. Mrs. Merrill of Water
vile. Mr.. Besl of Augusta, and part of the fam.
lily of Mr.. Benson Of West Watervlle. From re-
port of persons visiting here it looks as though
there would be an increase Of resident familie, to
spend the season. Ten new houses have been
erected here since last fall and ten in pros
pect the present month"; making in all about nine
~. Among the number is the very pretty build
ing in Chinese style erected for and to be occu-
pied ny the enterprising editors of the Squid the
publication of which added so much pleasure to
the visitors of the Island last season.
Capt. Sidney is in his usual good trim. He
has made some valuable Improvements on the
roads and his general care of the property here
has been very satisfactory. Mrs. Sidney is the
same ladylike, obliging and caretaking person.
who has added SO much to the comfort of the
people here. She is always ready and willing to
do oil she can for the comfort and pleasure of those
who call upon her.
The exercises on the Sabbath day il is expected
will be changed after to day. The two last Sab
baths have been occupied in ranging the Island
TO collect the Captains sheep into the fold for the
purpose OF shearing. All the best runners have
been engaged and wait for the Captain to direct
Only three out of twenty two have been captured
and those at the expense of several sore fingers
and lame legs, the Captain coming in very
much exhausted and very bad wound on his
hand. Unless there comes an increase of people
the coming week to hold religious meetings, the
same sheep race will be continued the comiag
Sabbath.
The hotel on Mouse Island is said to be filed
to its utmost capacity. Ocean Point is looking
quite cheerful with its some fifteen houses.
The Chase house, that was int ndcd to be occupied
rs boarding house, has been leased to parties for
private use, so that no accommodations as
yet have been provided for boarders, a thing that
is very much needed. But a very few houses,
compared with the number wanted, can be rented
Stephen Cobers has rented the Abbot house; Mr..
Hubbard the Reynolds house, and Capt. Sidney
has the names of several that are IN want of
houses. The weather here for the past week has
been very coob with high wind from west to
