The Heavens In May.

Among the celestial sights during the
month of May will be the conjunction Of the
planets Mercury and Saturn, May LIST. at IL
O'Clock in the cvening If the atmosphere be
clear, one can see them with the aid of an
opera glass. On the ninth at 8'clock in the
morning, Neptune will come into conjunc-
ton with the sun, being the first of four great
planets in this race. Neptune will then be in
q straight line with the sun and the earth,
the sun being in the ceutre, and at the i'm
mense distance of 1858 900 miles from this
mundane sphere. Saturn is evening star till
the Goth, and morning star for the rest of the
month. Ten days after Neptune, he
comes in conjunction with the sun.
Jupiter is long way behind these
two planets, but 10 following them
toward the same goal. Venus has so
nearly approached the sun that she rises only
an hour and quarter before him. Venus
will be easily found. The small red star
about 40 minutes south of her is the planet
Mars. The May moon fuls on the 2lst prox.
at 1927 O'Clock, P. NJ. At ii o'clock, the
phenomenon of the occultation of Beta Scorpii
in which the moon swallows two stars, will
again be seen. The most notable event of
the month, however, will be the eclipse of
the sun by the moon, for six minutes May 9Th,
to be seen only from the region of the South
ern Pacific.

A Wrister Party.

Chase's Mills has had a wrister party
"Hit o'miss," Uncle Scion calls-and his pic
turesque pencil says: "a wrister party is a
device to raise little money and have little
fun. The Yankee is CLOSE fisted,' but is al
ways ready to pay out something for fun. A
wrister party is as good for the people OF
Chase's Mills as Vanderbilt's gaudy balls are
for the Kings and Queens of the rail. Every
body at Chase's Mills went to the wrister
party. All the women and girls knit pair Of
wristers. Each put one wrister in box and
put the other on. You can buy wrister out
to the mate to it and oysters for two if you
could find it. At p. M. the Grand March
was formed. As the couples fell in line one of
the girls struck up whistling I'VE are
marching to old Quebec" When one
Whistler got tired another young lady
struck in. 1.-THE promenade at Wander
bilt ball." soliloquizes Uncle Scion, "down
the grand stairway to the dancing b0u-
doir might have been more grand and state
ly with diamonds sparkling in the splendor of
electric lights, but the march at Union Hall
was conducted with military precision. The
broad heels of the women's shoes all came
down to a dot with the heavy tread of the
mems thick boots, the whistlers didn't tire
and touched every note in the tune as dex-
terously a. expert violinists." When the
wrister box came round the whistling stopped
and the march broke in the twinkling of an
eve. Uncle Scion took bright eyed belle
five years old out to supper. She was as
sociable as bobolink aud as spry as an ante
LOPEZ" Uncle Scion reports that everything
was not done exactly square. He thinks
some of the Chase's Mills girls snapped
wristers with their mates. Seventy wristers
were sold. The money went for the temper
ance cause.

LARGE FIRE At BRADLEY.
The Extengiye Saw Mills CT Cutler &
Eddy and L. L F. q. Strickland
Destroyed.
Loss About S12O, O00-Two Hundred Men
Thrown Out of Employment.

BANGOR, April 20.
fire early this morning destroyed the ex-
tensive saw mills at Bradley, ten miles above
river. The flames were discovered at the
upper end of the long block shortly before
one O'Clock, and burned fiercely, everything
being consumed in short time. The mills
consisted of two buildings, one about 3Sox70
feet, and the other 80x60 feet. The mills
were in thorough repair and had been in op-
erstion about a fortnight this season. The
mills contained three gangs, three muleys,
one rotary. two single saws. six single ma
chimes, four lath machines, one stave ma
chine, one stave planer and one clapboard
machine. There we're about 100000 feet
of logs on hand, and the mills would proba-
bly, sawed between % and % million feet oil
log lumber this season, besides manufactur-
ing great amount of small stuff. Several
thousand dollars worth of lumber was burn
ed and large quantity of logs. The mills
were owned by the Great Works Milling and
Manufacturing Company. Two-thirds of the
stock was held by Cutler & Eddy, and one
third by L. & F. II. Strickland. Messrs
Cutler & Eddy operated two-thirds of the
mill and L. & F. H. Strickland the other
third.
The firm of Cutler Eddy consists of Hon.
John L. Cutler, president of the Maine Sen
ate, and Darius Eddy. The firm of L. & +.
H. Strickland consists of Lysander Strick-
land, ex mayor of Bangor, and Frederick ii
Strickland, lieutenant. colonel of the Second
Maine Regiment. Messrs. Cutler & Edd,
estimate their loss at $50, 900, on which they
have an insurance of $4,000. L. & F. ii.
Strickland call their loss SAC, 900, on which
they have an insurance Of about Sl4 900
From $50 to 200 men are thrown out of EN-.
ployment
The mills were in thorough repair, and
several thousand dollars expended in i'm
provements last winter. If the wind had
not been blowing from the northeast the town
of Bradley would doubtlessly have been de.
stroyed. Several buildings caught fire blu,
were saved.
