SOCIETY OF NATURAL HISTORY
Unsuccessful Search for Fossils.

Our readers may remember that at one Of
meetings of the Society Of Natural History
last year DR.. Wood spoke of the bones found
in peat bog at Ragged Island, near Harps.
well, forty years ago by Mr.. Thomas Skolfeld.
A party was organized in 1867 to dig for the
bones supposed to be still remaining, bnt no
bones were found at that time. Last Monday
another party of six workmen, under charge Of
Rev. Mr.. Southworth and Mr.. Fuller of the
society, were sent down by Gen. John Marshall
Brown In his steam yacht. They worked
steadily till Friday night digging two long
trenches and reaching the peat bed under the
top soil. Once In the peat, probing and boring
were resorted to, and in this way large part
OF the bog was examined, but no bones were
found. A part of the force returned to the
city Saturday and the others are expected to-
day. The work done by this party has been
very thorough and covers nearly all the ground
that seems to justify exploration. That part
which remains will require larger force of
men and also some machinery to uncover it.
1t had been supposed that the bones found were
only part OF an animal that died in the peat
bog, but it is certain now that If any bones re-
main they are well covered and will need much
labor to unearth them.
The members of the society who have en-.
gagged in this labor, and those who have borne
its expenses, are entitled to the thanks of the
scientific world. A full report of all the do
ings of the party viii be read at one of the So
ciety's meetings next season.

Mr.. P. G. Melody, the slater, met with a
painful accident one day last week. He stuck
a rusty nail into one foot, causing him great
pain.
Chief Littlefield injured the bone of one leg
while jumping upon team running to the
last fire, and has been partially crippled since
He is rapidly recovering, however
Saturday two men were scufiing with an ice
hook in d. w. Clark's ice house on Cross street,
and one of them playfully struck at the other, a
colored man named George johnson. The
hook entered the upper side Of one Of John
sons hands, catching on to and seyering the
cord. 1t was an ugly wound. and required
the services of surgeon to dress it, Dr. Ring
performed the operation.
Mr.. Frank G.. Stevens son, of Deering,
stuck needle in his foot Saturday, and so far
all efforts to find it have proved futile.
A horse attached to a nice light buggy be-
longing to Mr.. Grant, the livery stable proprie-
tor, was standing in front of Mr. William
Tobey's residence. yesterday morning, when
the horse suddenly started and at the corner
of Federal and Pearl streets wrecked the
buggy against tree The horse was after
wards caught.

Boston & Maine, the train hands shunted a
Car from the rear OF train on to a siding A
man named McDonongh, who resides at Cor
hams Corner, attempted to jump from the
car, and in SO doing didn't notice switch.
He jumped against the switch, and with such
force that he broke a leg, and also badly hurt
the upper part of the same leg. The surgeon
wished to have him go to the hospital, but he
preferred to go bone.

Infected Rags.

The telegraph Saturday morning stated that
Secretary Folger had ordered the customs au
thorities at Boston to look out for cargoes of
possibly infected rags on the way to that port,
and had revived the old infectious disease act
of April 20, 1878-or what is known as the old
Marine Hospital act-applicable to all United
States ports.
1t Is known that vessels often come to this
port from Alexandra, Pillau and other Egyp-
tian cities laden with rags for the paper mills
in this States. The bark Emma Mari, which
left Pillau June 9th for Portland will he due
here in about ten or frteen days, and we pre-
sumo that in this case, as well as others OF
like nature, Collector Dow will see that all
proper precautions are taken.
Friday evening Secretary Folger sent letter
to the Collector Of the Port of Boston, stating
that telegram from Liverpool informs him
that the steamer Bavsrian sailed Wednesday
for Boston, having 155 bales Of Egyptian rags
10 her cargo, and directing Collector Worth
iDgton to resort either to the mldest or the Sc
verest measures suggested by the circular, as
occasion might seem to demand.

DYING in a Stable.

Saturday employees in Robinson's stable, on
Green street, while up stairs for the purpose Of
feeding the horses discovered a man, named
james Kayanagh, lying upon the hay NOW APP
parently asleep, but closer examination re-
vealed him to be yerysill, and as he said he bad
no friends or relatives in the city he was taken
to Greedy hospitas where he died about noon.
The physicians stated that his disease was
quick consumption brought on by exposure,
and the man had evidently been in a very crit
ical condition for long time. Kavanagh was
about 80 years of age.
Since writing the above we are informed
that Cavanagh, or Kavanagh did have friends
and relatives His father resides on Salem
street, No. 60, where the funeral will take
place to-day. The deceased, it Is said, was not
on good terms with the family, chiefly owing
to his own fault. He was naturally Of an ami
able disposition and there was no reason why,
if sick, he should not have sought his fathers
house.

large orders are waiting to be filed. Prices
have no reliable basis, as they vary every day
with the quantity received. A fair range for
small jobbing lots is SS.75 to $40 per barrel for
3s. 81 to $13 for the different kinds of Is, and
SIS to SIG for Is. Ones and twos are particu-
larly scarce. The weather has been quite
favorable the past week for fishing, and re-
ports from the fleet are more encouraging.
Several good fares have been landed at out
ports, and vessels in the Bay of Fundy are
said to be doing well. These accounts lead
dealers to expect larger receipts next week,
and 1t is not impossible that the seasons catch
will yet be of fair proportions. The few YES
sells that went to the Bay Of ST. Lawrence were
not successful at last advices. There is mod.
crate supply of cod, herring and other kinds of
fish and trade in these is of the usual summer
proportions

me BURGLARY BuIletin.

Friday night burglars entered DIR. Buzzell's
house on New High street, just off of Congress
street, and succeeded in securing quantity of
silver teaspoons and a sum of money.
The Advertiser says: A week ago a man
living at the western end of the city was
Knocked down aud robbed of gold watch aud
S25 in cash. He resisted and though badly
beaten about the head, secured the hat and
one shoe of the highwayman These he car
ried to the police station.
Saturday Officers Massure, Sparrow and Nc
Callum ascertained that two lads naned John
E4gan and Martin Green had been selling tc-
bacco and bananas in small lots, aud, suspect
ing the boys had stolen the goods, arrested
them. The. boys confessed that they broke
into the store of Hodgdon Bros, on CONNER
cial street, and stole the tobacco and fruit.
The report that the residence of Mr.. Leach
was entered by burglars was incorrect. We
are informed, on reliable authority, there was
no burglary.
Mr.. Frank Hannsford, whose purse was de-
sired by highway robbers one night last week
as chronicled in the PRESS had another attempt
made to rob him the same night. 1t seems
after he was left by the policeman at the end
of Portland Bridge, bound home, he went
when three men sprang for Linn and ordered
him to stop, but cut of the whip took horse,
wagon and driver out of their reach.

The Rronklun Eirannan-

Ia regard to the trouble between the iremen
OF the steamship Brooklyn and Capt. Reid
mentioned in Thursdays PRESS, Mr. Sylvester
Saturday, at the request OF the fremen, had
conference with Capt. Reid, in which Mr.. Syl-
vester says he was cordially received. The
result of the interview is that the men will to-
day sign the ships articles and go aboard the
vessel at once.
The men say their counsel has constantly
advised them to do this since their first inter-
view with him. Capt. Reid says the mon we're
not compelled to work in the hold, but did so
of their own accord. While the men may
have had grievances in their own opinion.
Capt. Reid says he did simply what he con-
ceiyed to be his duty, and that which he fel t
his position required him to do. The men are
apparently satisfied.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS .--MRs. WINsLow's
SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit
tie sufferer at once; 1t produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes as "bright as a button"
1t is very pleasant to taste. 1t soothes the

wind. regulates the bowels, and is the best
known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising
from teething or other causes Twenty-Five
