Families from this and neghborng cities are
returning from the seashore as the days grow
short and the nights grow cold; and another week
will witness an almost entire exodu. from Squirrel
Island Capital Island, Ocean Pout Georgetown,
and "al along shore" The Steamer Henry Nor
rison will coutiaue hor trips so long as business
warrants, and will make a most successful season.
With the exception of the loss of two trips
Tor repairs, the Morrison has run with remarkable
regularity and the popularity OF this route has be-
come fully established. Capt. McChntock main
talns his position as captain, and - universal
favorite with the travelling public-always exer-
csiug the utmost care for the comfort and safety
of bis passengers well a. attending promptly
to the business Interests enru sted to his care and
supervision. Pilot Baker is constantly at his post
of duty, and il q faithful and efficient officer.
Great improvements are every where observable
at Squirrel AMI Capital Islands within the past
year. AT the latter island, Capt. John Sidney mas
erected fine sea-lde hotel, aud ba. had success
iul season. Several cottages have been built By
parties from Gardiner and FarmiDgdale, and
another season will witness still greater improve
ments. Last Sabbath WAS one of the stormy days
on our coast, and as the clouds cleared away in
the If ernoon multitudes repaired TO the South
Shore" of squirrel Island to witness the power of
old ocean as the huge pillows dashed upon the
rocks and spent their fury amid csaracts of foam
and showers of spray. Religious services were
held in the Chapel ut he usual hours. Rev. w. A.
Newcombe of this city, gave an interesting ser
mon in the forenoon. which WAS listened to by
goodly number OF worshippers VINO had assembled
regardless of the storm then raging. 10 the eve
Mug praise meeting WAS held, under the leader
ship of Rev. M. Dickeimsn of Lewiston, aud
participated in by Ex Gov. Dingley OF Lewiston,
Prof. Hanson oil Waterville, s. 5. Brooks of Au
gusta, Rev. w. A. Newcombe Of THIS city, aud
Others. The occasion was one of profitable inter
est 10 all. Monday was one of the finest days of
the season. and we regretted to leave the attrac-
tive locality after so brief sojourn and without
participating in fishing excursion or visiting the
many places OF interest IN that vicinity. We NAV
he more fortunate another season.
