Quantities of Penobscot Bay mackerel. The
steamer Everett is to be seen daily, cruising
about among the fishing boats in Belfast Bay,
buying the fish and taking them to Castlne.
Forty-three vessels engaged i'll catching
mackerel were off the Northport Camp Ground
one day last week-all Stating in their lines
and filing their decks full of Tapping fish.
SO abundant were the notified backs that they
fairly crowded the coves and inlets, so that
when a shark appeared among the fish they
would crowd each other out of water,

Excursion to Mouse Island.

The Maine Central Railroad Company has
given the citizens of Portland the past two
days an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sail
from Bath to Mouse and Squirrel islands and
Boothbay, returning the same day. On SPUR
rel Island are so cottages occupied principally
by citizens from Lewiston and cities on the
Kennebec. On the southern side of this island
delightful view can be had of the Damiscove
islands, around which was the fishing ground
of the English before the Pilgrims landed at
Portsmouth. Monhegan Island can also be
seen in clear weather. The geologist will find
on Squirrel Island much to interest him. In
fact Squirrel Island is one of the most delight
full spots for the visitor or for y simmer resi-
dence on our coast
A short distance before reaching Squirrel
(, Island, in a beautiful grove, the Eastern
Steamboat Company has erected large build
ing to accommodate picnic parties. The cap
tains of the steamers are very obliging and
gentlemanly, and as the sail is almost entirely
among islands the passenger is not annoyed by
sea sickness
We understand another season the Maine
Central Railroad Company will so arrange
their trains that our citizens can visit these To-
calities and return the same day.

Laced Kid Gloves.

The many annoyances connected with the
old system of Button Gloves are entirely over
come; and the following advantages secured:
1st-The perfect ease and rapidity with which
it is laced; 2d-Its adjustabiity to fit the differ
ent sized wrists; 3d-The advantage gained by
gradually straining the kid, instead of the old
system which ruins SO many pairs the first time
buttoned; 4 4th-Strength Of hooks and mode of
clinching them. The fastening will outlast
any glove, which is very rare occurrence with
buttons.
Independent of improvement in fastening, the
quality is guaranteed equal, if not superior, to
any other glove in the market. The exclusive
sale of these gloves in this city has been given
to the well-known house of III. l. Nelson & Co
