To BOOTHBAf AND BACK. The excursion to
Boothbay on the steamer Penobscot last Sunday
was very pleasant, and enjoyed by a party Of
about seven hundred. Those who dwell along the
Penobscot naturally have their summer haunts in
adjacent waters, while the Kennebeckers resort to
the Islands and shores near the mouth Of their own
river The Penobscoters on sunday last had an
opportunity to see the pleasure grounds, and wat
crs, of the kennebeckers The steamer left her
wharf in Bangor at O'Clock A. NJ, with about one
hundred and fifty pas sengers Bucksport and Sears
port adding nearly one hundred more. Belfast and
NOrthport brought the number up to four hundred,
and one hundred got on board at camden and two
hundred at RockIand For the first attempt In this
section at Sunday excursion on Il large scale the
affair was success and the party as whole was
orderly. The Bangor band furnished music The
sail along the coast was delightful but has been
often described that there is little to be said in
this connection. The scenery about Camden SEEM

mountains not high and the coast is less bold
than at Mt Desert the attractions but little in
ferior to those Of Names great watering place,
while the location has some advantages over Bar
Harbor. From the water one could pick out cot
tage sites innumerable, and iii the near future
they will no doubt be occupied. An amusing Incl
dent attended the landing at Camden. As the boat
drew near the crowded wharf young man,
perched on the landing stage, was conspicuous
above all the rest. He was OF large, but seemed
to have outgrown, for the time his physical proper
lions. He hailed some on board, and quick came
the response In a womans voice, ooh, that nose Is
a dead giveaway" The nose was Enthusiastically
red, and five hundred or more people laughed and
shouted in unison. The effect was udicrous The
young man collapsed as does an inflated bladder
when pricked with pin Like the victim of the
chunk of old red sandstone, "subsequent proceed
ings interested him more" The wind, which
blew moderately from the northwest when we left
Belfast, gradually veered round to southeast and
soon bank of fog seen along the horizon.
Capt. ROx, who is always careful of the lives and
property entrusted to his care, thought it best to
take the outside course, and the Penobscot was
kept on her Boston route until well up to Monte
gan when she bore away for Boothbay. As
neared the coast we had view of Ocean Point
