Day Steamer 40 Roston.

The travelling public will be glad to note
the increased facilities offered for summer
travel by the Portland Steam Packet Co. To
accommodate the tourist travel, the services of
the steamers have been doubled and commenc-
ing July LIST, they will leave Portland every
morning and evening at o'clock, returning
from Boston every morning at o'clock and
every evening at 7. The ocean excursion bv
daylight along the beautiful coasts OF Maine,
New Hampshire, and Massachusetts,, fills a
long felt want in this direction and ought to
be appreciated by the public by a generous
patronage. The connections for New York by
the various Sound routes are admirable and
passengers going South will find this sea trip
in summer most enjoyable while they escape
heat and fatigue. The favorite steamer John
Brooks has been reftted this season with ev-
erytbing needed for the comfort, convenience,
and safety of her patrons. The new steamer
fremont, just built for the ronte, is one of the
finest vessels plying in Eastern waters. Moth
ing has been spared in any department in
furnishing this steamer to make her fayorite
with the travelling public; and while she lacks
nothing of elegance of design and beauty of
finish which modern art could suggest, she has
been built with especial reference to strength.
and to the long-established reputation of this
company for the absolute safety of its patrons.
With the enlarged passenger accommodations
at its disposal, the company has never been in
better condition to accommodate its increas-
ing patronage, and will endeavor to give the
same at siduCus care through which,..in the past
40 years, no passenger has lost life, or received
injury to person or property.

That book if the State is to publish history
ought to be correct, and we should naturally
think it would be, with such number OF sup

the original Patent of December LIST, 1851 49,
granted to Robert Trelawney and Moses Good

der the construction that would be given to-
day, would take considerable of Cape Eliza

Gorham. We notice several other sources,
