The Brooklyn.

The Dominion line have closed contract
with the New York Wrecking Company to
finish unloading the steamer Brooklyn, now
stranded in Portland harbor, and then float
her. and are now busily engaged in the work.
The wrecking company's ste Rescue left
for Boston Saturday for pontoons which will
be used in floating her. 1t is expected that
the work of raising her will be completed in
about four weeks, when she will probably be
put into the dry dock there and a critical ex-
animation of damages made. Should the in
juries prove more serious than now supposed,
temporary tepairs only upon her will be
made, so as to enable her to cross the Allan
tic safely, and upon arrival at Liverpool she
will be locked and put in thorough repair.

Only about half as much maple syrup has
been made this season as usual and it sells
Tor good round price. There was only
about q week Of good sap weather from first
t" last. The scsnty run is ascribed partly
to the small amount of frost there was in the
ground at the close of winter, and to the con-
thu drouth last fall and consequent dry
ness of the earth when the ground froze' the
result of which was there was very little
moisture in the soil at the commencement of
the sap season, which could hardly work
otherwise than inguriously on the How OF
sap Another thing which should be taken
into account is the rapidity with which the
snow took its departure after commencing to
melt.

The Bangor Commercial has it that there
is an absolutely close time against fishing
aud hunting for any game on Sunday. This
is partially correct. There is a Sunday close
time against hunting game, but none for fish
i,g. Whether or not the legislature deemed
that there is more improperly in hunting on
Sunday than in fishing we know not, but at
all events they left the bars down so that the
bad boy and the Sabbath-breaking man can
40 fishing on the Sabbath day as much
as they please without breaking any law.

Bombarding an Old Lady With Crack.
ers.

During the past summer handsome
young man and mischievous young
lady were among the guests at White
Mountain hotel. The young man was
teased by his friends on account of his
habit of lunching just before going to
bed. One evening he found large
paper bag of crackers on his table.
Rashly jumping to the conclusion that
the mischievous young lady had made
him the gift, he went ON tiptoe to the
door of her room, and tossed a cracker
through the open transom. The room
was dark, but the crackers fall was
followed by slight scufiing. He
paused a moment, and then threw a
second and third. Each time rust
ling was heard, but no one spoke.
Having tossed the entire contents of the
bag into the room, the young man stole
away, and as he left the corridor met
the young lady coming to her room.
Troubled in his mind, he made in
quiries the next morning as to the eff
feet of his bombardment, and learned,
to his horror, that the first cracker
thrown had landed on the head of the
young lady's grandmother, an infirm
old lady of nearly eighty, who was at
the moment kneeling by her bedside
engaged in her devotions. Much
alarmed, she had risen to her feet only
to receive a second shot. She had then
retreated to corner, but, being further
assailed, ard not being able to form any
idea of the origin of the mysterious
missiles, she had finally crept under the
bed, where she was discovered in for
lorn condition by her astonished grand,
child. Aduertiser.
