Nallomell l0ral Mems.

The numerous friends of Mis-; Emma G.. Hub
bard, will be panied to learn of her recent death
in New York city, where she was spending the
winter with her brother, Gen. Thomas IL. Hub
bard. Miss Ii. was the youngest daughter of the
late Ex-Gov. Hubbard of this city, and lady OF
rare accomplishments and refined manners great
ly respected and beloved by all who were so for
tunatc as to form her acquaintance, and enjoy her
friendship. For several years her health has been
failing; and during the winter months she has
spent most of the time either in New York, Flor
ida, some other locality more favorable to con-
sumptiyes than the rigOrs of our New England
climate. Early last autumn, in company with her
mother, she left her home in this city for New
York. hoping her health might be improved bv
the changes of climate, and treatment from the
mos. noted and successful medical practitioners of
the city. But her health continued to fail, until
on Tuesday evening last she passed quietly away,
surrounded by those loved ones whose tender and
constant care had proved inadequate to restore
the beloved daughter and sister to health again.
Her body was brought to this city yesterday af-
ternoon for iuteiment; funeral services will be
held at her late residence on Winthrop street, this
(Frday) afternoon at two o'clock.
We understand that the temperance meeting at
the Free Baptist church on Monday evening last
was well attended, and conducted as usual with
spir it and interest
Our "city fathers" are making preparations for
closing up the business of the present municipal
year, so as to present favorable report before
the approaching "March meeting"
Notice was given in our churches last Sabbath
that union prayer meeting would be held in the
Methodist vestry this friday evening at
o'clock.
Sleighng appears TO be badly demoraized, and
an occasional turnout on wheels suggests the ap-
proach Of spring with accompanying "etherial
mildness."
The many friends of Mr.. John r. Means have
recently enjoyed his annual visit to his old home
in this city to satisfactory degree. The effort to
persuade him to re-establish himself in business
here we fear will not prove successful. We be-
heve, however, that good bakery establishment
would succeed. If not, why not
Geo. B. Crowell hung himself in one of his out
buildings yesterday afternoon about five o'clock
lie was found by his wife, and cut down, and
means applied TO bring him to consciousness. At
last accounts he was in great agony, but with a
fair prospect of recovery. Mr.. Crowell formerly
kept saloon in this city. He had been in a des-
ponding state Of mind for some time, and it is
supposed the act was done while he was greatly
depressed. Mr.. Crowell is about fifty years Of
age.

An affecting scene occurred in this city the
other day. Two little children, boy and girl,
whose father had been a soldier in the army, and
who had died, leaving his family in straitened Cir
cumstances, lived with their widowed mother.
Kind friends had assisted in the alienation of their
wants, but II was at last concluded to send the
children to the Soldiers Orphans Home at Bath,
splendid institution, caring for the children of
our Country's defenders; and to this arrangement
the widowed mother, unable through sickness
t, support her offspring gladly gave her consent
Mrs. Sampson, whom we will call the guardian
angel of the Home, came to this city to take the
children in charge and convey them to Bath. The
little boy, the elder of the two children was glad
to 60, joyful in the prospect Of the journey, new
scenes and new home. But with the little girl
it was far different. When the time came for
parting she chung persstently TO her mother. re-
fusng to 90. All the tender affections were
aroused-all the fountains Of grief unstopped, -
AMI the little one wept with an anguish which those
who have little children from whom they may be
tora by accident or calamity, can only appreciate
or know The children were finally taken to the
Home, where they will be kindly cared for.

A Trfpto Squirrel Island.

A few days since, Mr.. j. i. Ham of Lewiston,
paid Squirrel Island VISIT and brought back
news which he communicated to the Journal and
which will be Of interest to many of our readers
who are accustomed TO spend their summer yaca-
ton in that quarter
Mr.. Ham was welcomed to the Island by its
sole inhabitants, Capt John Sidney, Mrs s., an
adopted child of Mrs. Sidneys, man Friday, and
big black dog lie found the property the
Island in excellent condition. Since the summer
population left, four summer cottages have been
built, as follows: A two story house, fronting
Southport (near 5. Reynolds owned by Mr.. Fred
Haulen OF Augusta; q cottage near Mr. Perkins
BY Benson & Bartlett of West Waterville; a cot
tage near Mr.. Billiards., fronting towards Monhe-
gan, by Mr.. Hill Of Augusta; cottage near So.
Cove, fronting Southport, by Mr.. III. T.. smith of
Augusta. All these cottages are very neat and
tasteful. Several new houses are to be built as
soon as spring opens. One by Mr. Parsons Of
Ohio one by Mr.. Haley of Bath etc. Mr.. Ham
reports that there are now sixty-three cottages,
and seven other buildings, (hall store. etc., on
Squirrel Island. There is less snow on the Island
now than in the interior, but there was three feet
IN the woods prior to the thaw. The plank side
walks are now bare.
On Ocean Point, mile distant from Squirrel
Island, sixteen cottages have already been built,
and many more are to be erected. 1t is thought
this place will eventually have hundred cottages
The exterior of the new hotel at Mouse Island is
completed.
IL view next season Of the large probable in
crease of summer travel to Boothbay, Mouse Is
land, Squirrel Island and Ocean Point, (all in
Boothbay llarbor), the steamboat lines are pre-
paring to furnish increased accommodation. The
Eastern Steamboat Company propose to put on
another steamer TO serve as tender to the two
plying between the Islands, and doing extra trips.
Their plan is next season to build larger steamer
than either of the two now on the route. The
probability is that the summer population of
Boothbay and the Islands of Boothbay Harbor
will be at least 2000 next season.

winter birds as during the last month or two, for

seldom Is the ground so thoroughly covered with
snow 1t would be but little trouble for any boy
Or girl to throw out few crumbs seeds or
handful of grain. OF course, it would not be easy
now, to get sheaf of wheat or any other grain
But by keeping it in mind, preparation can be
made for it in the harvesting season this year
The dumb Animals" newspaper, in remarking
oa this subject, says: "Ple ase sweep up the chat
and hay-seed on your scafolis and scatter them
on the snow for the birds. few oats may be
spared and crumbs from the kitchen. \ piece of
fat meat on the trees might contribute to the
birds comfort. 1t is reported that many birds
have died Tor want of food during this unusual
winter. People cannot afford to lose the birds,
for their fruit trees will suif.r next summer if the
birds do not protect them"
