Ship Building in Richmond.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your very appropriate
notice OF the late Capt. f. X. Thcobald, who
died in Richmond on Sunday the 18th inst
you say ''he commanded the first ship built in
Richmond, the Clyde, built in 1889, and many
other vessels" This, doubtless is true, so
far as ships" are concerned, that is, vessels
rugged on three masts; for such only are
called ships but this must not exclude from
the merchant service vessels of smaller di-
mensions. For many years before 1889, yes
sells of respectable size, such as brigs, schoon-
ers ETC., were built in that enterprising place
In point of fact, the first vessel built in Rich
mond was ''coaster" so called, of respect
able dimensions. a schooner OF two masts,
square rugged, of about sixty or seventy tons
burthen, called the Porlutumnus, engaged
in carrying cord wood and bark to Boston and
elsewhere, and bringing return frcights for
the traders and others on the keunebec. She
was built by and for the late Hon. Israel
Washburn of Livermore, father of Ex. Gov.
Washburn and the other distinguished states
men of the Washburn family. and Mr.. White
who was his partner in shipbaiding and
trade and for whom the village took its long
well known name as Whites Landing -
This was during the embargo and the late
war with England The vessel was built in
1910. but the war stopped all other business
and Ar. Washburn removed to Livermore,

The Menhaden Industry and Fishing In.
leresl.

Having been in the fishing business for
thirty years, l ought to know something about
it, therefore l wish to have the privilege of
stating my views on this case.
Before these porgy factories were here we
had no trouble TO get bait and fish, two nets
would catch all the bait that six men wanted,
but now we cannot get it with twenty
nets. These porgy men thought they were
doing us great favor when they were selling
us bait for 15 cents to Sl.50 per barrel.
Those porgies did not cost the factories much
over one-half that amount. Such porgies as
we got at the factories were very poor bait as
they were soft and often almost rotten before
we got them; any fisherman would know that
such were worth very little. 1t is case of
necessity or we should not buy them at any
rate. For four weeks during the best of the
fishing last summer, we did not get half bait
enough to bait a traw. These porgy steamers
| firmly believe, have damaged me 5000 the
past season, and ! am only one among thou
sands. The fishing boats and vessels have
paid out to the porgy seiners from SO TO $50
to a man this season, and then not have bait
half the time AT that.
Last summer | understood that the owners
of these factories had a number of our Sena-
tors and Representatives to visit their works,
ana see WDat an eAtcHslNe business was car
ried on, and what large number of men were
employed. l wonder if they told them how
many they deprived of their fishing bait. /
think if our Legislators want to know the
truth of it they should inquire of the fisher
men and hear both sides of the case.
Now, in conclusion, will say word con-
corning the stencil of these factories. living
about one-half a mile from three of them,
perhaps have a fair chance to know some
thing about it. / have often had to close my
doors to keep it out, and when the house is
once scented it is almost impossible to get
clear of it. Some of these porgy folks say
they cannot smell this stencil, but one can
imag inc what must be The stencil arising from
many thousands of tons of this porgy chum.
have seen cart loads of maggots in and
about these factories, does it not seem rea.
sonable that there would be a little stencil
arising from such mass? / have often
smelled this stencil ten miles from the facto-
ries
hope that our Legislature will this win
ter pass some law to put stop to this de-
structive work, and protect the laboring peo.

Eastport, have their home at the same board

many plantation break-downs, to the disturb

The Maine House of Representatives has
indefinitely postponed an order directing the
committees on the various public institutions
to visit those institutions and learn something
about them. If the Legislature will not visit
the institutions, the institutions will have to
go TO Augusta Portland fdcerfiser.
