fire first fed. fine piano, which was brought
to one of the windows of the Blanchard House
was lost on account of its being impossible to
get it through the window with the legs on 1t,
which were bolted on so securely that they
could not be taken of. Nearly all the furnl-
ture was taken from the lower story of the st.
Cloud, including two pianos, clothing, and all
the silver ware. Very little was taken from the
upper story. The property in the lower and
second stories of the Aldine was mostly re-
moved Nearly all of the best furniture in the
Belmont House was got out. AS the Fiske
House was the last to burn there was time
enough to get out most OF the best furniture,
although a grand square Chickering piano
could be plainly seen in the parlor after the
heat had driven everybody away. Most of the
property taken from the hotels was of course
more or less damaged in getting it out and bad
ly mixed up together, and none OF the losers
can at this time give much of an estimate OF
their losses on furniture

crockery ware, pictures. bedding. kitchen fur

was terrible scarcity of water. The engines
part of the time were of mouse for lack OF it.

was soon obtained, however and the fremen
bravely returned to their work, although the
heat was so intense from the Fiske House that
they were obliged to stand doors between them
selves and the flames. Several of the doors at
one time caught fire on one side while the other
rested against freman's back. The wind
changed little at this time, blowing away
from the Sans Souc House, which fact coupled
with the hard work of the fremen saved the
building.
The hotels burned were all large. well finish
ed houses and their loss must necessarily seri-

however at once. Mr.. Mason of the St.
Cloud Hotel told Journal reporter that there
was but little doubt but what they should re-
build at once, and SO be ready for next seasons

Aids to NAVIGATION.

Mr.. Editor. 1t has been but a few years
since the steam fog whistle has been intro
duced along our coast, and still later the
whistling buoy. Both are great helps and aids
to the navigators on our much.befogged coast.
The steam whistle cannot be heard far in
strong winds, but in light weather I have
heard them nearly twenty miles, and / have
heard the whistling buoy more than ten miles
in very light weather. There are two good
whistling buoys off this port. one off Cape
Elizabeth and the other off the Halfway
Rock, but / think neither of them in the
right place. The one off Cape Elizabeth should
be placed little to the southeastward OF the
Aden's Rock on the port hand of the main
ship channel in to Portland, and if it is neces-
sary to have two whistling buoys the other
shout. be placed little to the westward of
the Bulwark Ledge to mark the starboard side
OF the main ship channel These bnoys would
then bs four or five miles apart and in the best
possible position to direct vessels into Portland
Harbor. In my Judgment the buoy off the
Halfway Rock will lead more vessels into
trouble than it will keep out OF trouble. This
buoy in thick weather will often be taken for
the buoy off the Cape and the vessel be di-
rected as supposed for Portland land soon find
the mistake by being near or in back of the
Halfway Rock. If this buoy be placed to the
westward of the Bnlwark Ledge it can be heard
from its present position and vessels making it
in thick weather will have good clear chan
mel for Portland Harbor. 1t appears that the
buoy off the Cape and among the rocks is
placed there for the benefit of steamers. The
late government charts warn ship masters
who are not we'll acquainted not to attempt to
come in by this buoy for Portland Harbor.
Then 1 ask why not place this buoy where it
should be to direct vessels in the main ship
channel and let steamers take their chance
with sailing vessels. I have come into Port
land three times this season drawing more
than seventeen feet of water and not clear
weather once. The last time came into Port
land it was dense fog and it fell calm outside
of Alden's Rock and we had to anchor to keep
from drifting on to it. If the wbistling buoy
had been in the position it should be we should
have known our situation better and would
not have been SO near this dangerous rock.

The Institute for Sagadahoc county, under
the auspices of the State, held its session at
Bowdoinham Nov. Sth and 9th. Prof. G. G.
Rounds, of the Normal School at Pennington,
and Dr. True of Bethel were the conductors of
the exercises, and it is gratifying to say that
the result of their labors in this epoch of in
struction is not less beneficial and instructive
in their results than that which have made
these veterans teachers Of our State and hon.
orable leaders in the progressive work of edn-
Gators.
The weather was most unpropitious, being
very rainy and disagreeabe, yet there were
some twenty present most of the time. The
principal topics for discussion were those of
reading, writing and spelling, and mode of
governing school most successfully
Prof. Rounds gave very comprehensive
lecture on language, suggesting more thor
ough knoa ledge of the English literature,
before struggling with the dead, severely con-
demning the loose literature of the day, as a
sad commentary for public educators of this
age Of public schools
Dr. True's lecture on mineralogy was one
which only those who heard it could appreciate
and measure its value and see what an inter-
esting matter he could make out of his subject,
even to those not familiar with it, The DR..
spoke upon many topics, all of which were
very valuable, as his experience as teacher
of long experiences entities him to be OF the
best authority. He has specimens of quartz,
feldspar, mica and granite as a basis for illus
tration of his theme
The teachers made an organization for a
county Institute, adopting constitution and
elscting officers viz:
President-D L. Smith, of johnson School,
Topsham. :,
Vice President-M inerva Donnell, of Bow
doinham.
Topsham High School.
The Institute is to be held semi-annually.
SO far as the work was concerned it was sue
cess, and of great assistance to those teachers
present ..
