The Mackerel Catch.

The salt fish trade shows some Improvement
over last week, and the liberal receipts have
nearly all been disposed of. Mackerel have
come along pretty freely from domestic and
foreign ports, but not more than the trade
require, and prices are well sustained. With
the exception of some fog the weather has
been favorable for the fleet, but the quantity
of mackerel landed is not up to expectation,
being only S212 barrels against 1881 barrels for
the same week last year. AT this rate the
catch will hardly be half as large as last years.
The fish are still schooling off Cape Ann and
along the coast for few miles, but they are
mostly of small size and when caught do not
prove remunerative. There is considerable
disappointment among fishermen and filters
SO far, and it is feared that the few weeks yet
remaining will not change the general situa-
tion.-l 81 erald.

Yesterday a gentleman in this
city received a private letter from
one of the Geographic strikers from
which We extract the following:
" Our daily advices from the East
are of the most cheering nature.
Believe no newspaper reports m
favorable to us. We present solid
unwavering front and viii fight it
ont on this line if it takes all Sum
mer." It seems surprising that
newspapers who have suffered so
much extortion and robbery from
the Western Union should at TINS
time lick the dust to Jay Gould and
his gang of thieves and distract the
truth to help pull the monopoly
throught the fight; yet such venai
sheets exist. The APPEAL lew
days ago started a % cent subser'p
ton for the strikers and last night
sent q check for $40 to tho Brother
hood in San Francisco. Since the
check was drawn more money has
been received. This IS small sum,
but if the press Of the State Will
start the ball rolling by opening
similar subscriptions the ball ought
TO roll from the Pacific to the At
lantic Ocean. As yet none o. the
journals which make such lond
professions Of sympathy .or the
strikers and those generally who
work for wages, have helped the
cause along by single dollAr
Gentlemen show your faith by your
work and open subscriptions fo'
the operators. They need ths
money and with such assistance a.
this, and such = cheap Subscription
would be enabled to down the tel
sgraph company and win JUS
and righteous cause.

cension Episcopal church was the scene OF
fashionable wedding, Thursday evening, the
contracting parties being Mr.. Edward n. AT
wood, son of Mr.. William Atwood of Portland

was thronged with the elite of Greenpoint.
Messrs. John Paynter, George Swain, Samuel
Storer, Jr. and Charles Newkirk acted as
ushers and the bridesmaids were Miss Emma
Young and Miss Mamie Connolly. The best
man was Mr.. Charles Norton, cousin of the
groom. The bride was attired in cream
white brocade and surah satin cut en- train,
and the only decorations were orange blossoms.
The ceremony was impressively performed by
Rev. Arthur Whitaker, rector Of the church
where the nuptials were solemnized. The
English custom of the groom meeting the
bride at the chancel steps was observed. The
church was tastefully decorated. After the
church services there was an informal recep-

and few intimate friends were present to ex-
tend their congratulations. The presents

In editing for the Prince Society an annot-

lished in London in 1887, find statement
and an allusion upon which some Portland or
Maine, antiquarian may be able to throw
light. take this means of calling attention
to it. The following is the passage in the New
Canaan:

place; liked the commodity; but will not

modify that is there to be had"
The Richmond Island referred to is, of
course, that lying close to Cape Elizabeth.
Morton's visit TO it was as early as 1927 The
cold Woodhouse' he mentions is clearly John
Ellington, hung for murder at Plymouth in
September, 1880. Is there any record of the
Plymouth people ever. having had station on
Richmond Island? Are there any such stones
as Morton refers to on that island? III So,
what is their nature? Cos, Morton elsewhere
explains, is the Indian word for milestone.
