A GRACEFUL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The Mayor Of Gardiner Thanks the Au-
gusta and HaIlOwell Firemen.

TO the Citizens of Gardiner:
While the clouds of the fiery visitation of
Monday evening are still lingering over us. it
is but due that we should remember with
most fervent thanks the far more extensive
disast er and destruction so imminent, but
averte under Providence by the heroic ef-
forts of our fire department so nobly aided by
the steamers from Hallowell and Augusta.
The flames spread with such incredible
rapititv that it seemed almost in the same
moment. that the bridge itself and the build
ings on both sides were developed in flames.
Our entire department was sufficient to do
but little to control its course, and with rapid
and wise decision Chief Engineer Hooker de-
termined to concentrate its efforts for the
preservation of Water street. and to this we
owe il that this street was not added to the
fiery waste.
Too much praise cannot be given the men,
who, through the fiery night and late in the
weary morning kept at their posts till all dan
ger Of further spreading OF the fire was past
The steamers from Augusta and Hallowell
responded at the earliest possible moment to
our call for help, and to their noble efforts
we owe the stay of the flames on Summer,
High and Spring streets. To them we tender
our earnest thanks. The memory of such
aid will ever remain warm in our hearts, and
bind in friendly ties the sister cities of the
Kennebec.
Though we have suffered severely in our
business interests and in the loss of homes,
we can but rejoice at the greater loss escaped;
and trust we shall remember generously
the firemen VINO fought SO nobly for us, and
from what we saved, so much more abundant,
contribute literally to relieve those who in
losing their homes lost their all.
WILLIAM PERKINS, Mayor.

Good for Maine.

The Boston Advertiser says editorialIy of
this State:
Maine is the only State entirely satisfied
with its climate. No right minded citizen
can be heard complaining of the winter or
summer temperature. for the one means ice,
which can be sold, and the other means visit
tors who can be (but never are) sold too
The coast liae of the State is estimated at
5000 miles. Even now there is scarcely a
headline which does not feel the light tread
of the boarder. Few are the inhabitants
by the sea who are not directly or indirectly
the richer for the coming of the great COM
pany of visitors, glad to breathe the pine
favored air and partake of the opulent pie or
the frugal clam. The cost of being cool on
the Maine coast mas been grossly exaggerated
Mount Desert, especially. has been made to
bear tine reputation of furnishing the least
nourishment At the highest prices on record
Envious rivals circulate these painful rumors
The fact is, that Maine is as relatively mex
pensive as it is a surprisingly attractive re-
sort for summer sojourners. The feast of
scenery is splendid, and now other food is
furnished at reasonable rates.
