Board of Public Works.

Property Owners Heard-The Proposed ExtensfOn of fLIOyd street-setver Work. At meeting of the Board of Public Works last evening there were present Messrs. Feld- man, Sargent, Joyce and Gilbert.
 MT. Blatchley appeared and opposed fenc- ing his property, bounded by Foote. Gofe,
 Winter and Foote streets, and questioned the right of the city to compel him to do so. The clerk stated that MT. Whedon, of the Board of Health, wished to be heard before
 this Board rescinded the order for fencing.
 The time for fencing the property was ex- tended one month and the clerk to notify Mir. w. don that this Board will hear him on
 the evening of July 20. 7 -' ~ 1,.. i. A hearing was had on the subject of the l Lloyd street extension. Colonel A. Heaton Robertson appeared representing the prop erty owners He did not think the city could afford to pay the price which the property is
 worth and did not think the public would be
 benefited to the amount of the price of the
 land. The proposition is to extend the street from it's present termination, River street, to l the river. ~
 J. P. Futile, Esq, for the estate of A. Heaton, protested against the extension, as it l would take away property amounting to $75 l per foot on River street, and he did not think the public would be benefited to that l amount. He had no objection to the exten-
 sion if the city would pay fair price for the i land.
 Michael Wisely appeared and asked to put
 horse to work on the streets, as he had been I assessed for the extension of Rose Court. | %o1 Wav,6 1 and asked for reduction of the number of sewer connections to be made in front of her property on Water street. e-.- .. lawrence OBrien appeared and stated that he had completed the Eld street sewer and
 would commence digging for the Clark street
 sewer to-day. He asked that he be not con- | fined in this case to the rule limiting the 1 length of trench to be open at one time to | 200 feet and that he be permitted to open 300 | feet If confined to the rule it would be a | serious loss to him. s- zs.--s ae.r1 -.s

 established for the public good, though there | had been exceptions allowed. ys{ .,ss

Hail Stones and Gentle Freezes.

The recent hail storm which visited the easterly and southerly portions of New Lon
 don county was very severe. Between Ston- ington and New London the Providence train was stopped, the passengers supposing that the engine could not make head against the gale. They soon discovered that an oak tree two feet through at the butt had been uprooted by the gale, falling across the track a rod or two in front of the train. Conductor w.. J. Goss got out his axes, which, in the hands of the stalwart New England boys among his passengers soon cut in twain the obstruction, and a chain affixed to the engine speedily drew the tree and its branches out
 of the way. It was 8 narrow escape. Hail stones fell three inches in diameter. In the height of the gale the engineer could not see fifty feet ahead of his engine. Fifteen min utes after the Newport express for New York came flashing by, but then sky and track were clear. fa r s -

Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. r., proprietor of the great medicine called s'Fav- orite Remedy" would have but little conf dence to recommend the public to buy and use it if his own name were not behind it.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Will you kindly permit me through your

answer until this present winter? 1t IS dl-
rectly interesting only to summer visitors OF
Mt Desert, acknowledge; but, 1nasInuch as
these are to be numbered by thousands,
scarcely feel as if asking too great favor OF
YOU. The question and answer relate to the
winter aspect of that most delightful and
UNIQUE of watering places, Bar Harbor.
when the cleft and rock-bound shores are
encased in glittering coats OF Ice ana the
granite hills rear their tops hoary, with frost
and snow against cold sky; when field and
forest are enveloped in a mantle of the
unrest white, and the little summer brook
that sang so merrily on its way to the sea is
fast bound in remorseless fetters and Its
cheerful music stilled then it is that all the
plories of northern winter show foftn
at Mt Desert in hundred new ana
unexpected ways But the scene Is
most beautiful at early morn, when

Glorious pathway of gold that stretches far

whistle from the muff1ing envelope of mist
The fields sparkle with a thousand curious
gems of frost-work, and the mountains from
their ice-clad submits reflect the morning
light with dazzling brilhancy.
We can view the scene at its best from
some neighboring eminence, as Mt Kebo.
From thence we see the sturdy Porcupines
and their grim brother, old Iron-Bound,
standing like faithful sentinels to guard the
entrance to Frenchmans bay, their steep
