Particulars Of her Rescue from Point
LepreauX Rocks.

The St. Johns Sun, giving the particulars
of the successful floating of the State of
Maine, says: At 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, shortly before high water, the
Steamer State of Maine was successfully
floated off the rocks at Point Lepreaux. The
American tug Cyclops, and the Dirigo of
this port took her in tow and started for
Dipper Harbor, which was reached at S.37 in
the evening. The steamer was
beached and at low water she was far
above low water marx. Her bottom will be
repaired at Dipper Harbor, and she will then
1t is expected that Cyclops will today come
to this port for the lumber necessary to
strengthen the bottom of the steam
er. The beach at Dipper Harbor is
very fine, being composed of gravel and
sand The steamer New Brunswick was
passing at the time and the passengers wit
messed the floating OF the steamer.
Four pontoons were used to raise the
steamer. two being placed on each side of
the boat. Three chains were run from the
pontoons on one side and by divers placed
in position underneath the vessel and then
attached to the pontoons on the other side.
Empty oil casks were placed in the hold so
as to tighten her. 1t is a remarkable fact
that the hull of the steamer has received very
little damage, which speaks volumes for the
wav in which she was built. The Interna-
tional Company is to be congratulated in
having through the exertions on the Merritt
Wrecking Company, saved suce valuable

John Patten of fIermon, the inmate of the
Insane Asylum at Augusta, who escaped
from that institution on Wednesday last, and
committed suicide by throwing himself in
front of an approaching train, was son of
Hon James Patten, of Hermon, and in early
manhood showed indications of unusual
promise. In 1872 he was appointed to a
clerkship in the Board of Public Works of
Washington, ID. c., but held the position
less than a year, being Obliged to resign on
account of ill health, and return to his native
town, aud there remained until he fully
reganed his health. From 1874 to 1879 he
was employed by the Essex Company, of
Lawrence, Mass, in civil and hydraulic en-
gineering, and served the company faithfully
and efficiently until he was compelled to
give up his position by reason of his mental
alteration. As mathematician he would
rank high as being both original and correct
in his calculations. He was educated at the
Pennington Normal school, and while there
wrote several essays, that attracted the
attention of both classmates and teachers,
one in particular upon the Immortality of the
soul, called forth from Prof. Rounds, the
principal, especial commentator in the pres
ence of the whole school.

The patented system by which Mr..
Shields, OF Perth, smooths the broken
surface of the sea is at the present
moment being put upon ITS trials at the
entrance to Folkestonc Harbor. The
Chairman and Directors of the South
Eastern Railway Company have granted
the use of their pier to Mr.. Shields for
his experiments. On the eastern side
of the pier, where the entrance to the
harbor is situated, a leaden pipe a
thousand feet in length, has already
been laid along the bottom of the sea.
The pipe is furnished with series of
iron branches about two feet in length
and some seventy feet apart. Each
branch terminates in a valve and
brass rose like that of watering pot
The main leaden pipe Is connected at
its shore end with iorce-pump placed
ON the pier BY means Of the force
pump oil is driven through the leaden
pipe and out OF the small perforations
in the roses. The oil then rises in
minute globules to the surface and
rapidly spreads over a wide area. On
Monday morning brisk easterly breeze
and strong tide made it rough
enough to cause some hesitation as to
sending the patentee's steam barge out
OF the harbor For the first time,
therefore, the virtues of the apparatus
were tested. Some fifteen or twenty
gallons of the cheapest rock oil (6d.
per gallon) were speedily pumped into
the troubled waters. The effect was
magical, In half an hour there was
not sign OF broken water between the
pier head and Copt.
