The ssCarrie Bertha"

1t has been nearly three moGthe since the
brig Carrie Bertha sailed from Turks Island
for Philadelphia. No tidings have been heard
from the vessel or crew and there is now hard
ly q ray of hope OF ever hearing from them.
No doubt the vessel was lost in the hurricane
OF the 18th or 18th of September, when she
was about week out. Many other vessels
were reported lost at that time. Captain Alvin
B. Ball, in command of the brig, began going
TO sea with his father before he was ten years
OF age, and has been to sea most of the time
since, except when he remained at home to at
tend school. He was young man of excellent
business capacity. Two years ago be made two
voyages to the West Indies as master, when he
was but q years old. and he has made several
coastiDg trips. He married Miss Nellie S.
Watts of West Falmouth, daughter of John
and Mary Watts, and quiet little lady. The
senior Captain Hall said last fall when he ar
rived home from the Mediterranean, where
they had been on pleasant voyage to France
and Sicily, "Nellie had been with them five
months and he had not seen a fault in ber.p
Their little babe, Julia May, about year and
half old, enc Of the most beautiful children
that was ever born into human lite, was with
her father and mother on this fatal voyage.
Charles II. Prince, nephew OF Capt Alvin
Hall, who had been to sea with him for sever
al years, and when on shore made his hcme at
Capt. Halls house, was also on the Carrie
Bertha Mrs. Prince, his mother, is sister OF
Captain Hall. She has lost her two sons, her
only ones. within few months of each other.
Five of those on board the Carrie Berths made
the voyage 10 the Mediterranean With Captain
Hall last year, and four of them went out from
Captain Halls home and their home on this
sad voyage With fond hopes and aspirations,
looking forward to long life and much happi-
ness. But alas! disappointment is the lot of
man. Little did Captain Hall think when in
CUBA he wrots that warm eulogy on Captain
Eoule, who was lost about year ago, which
was printed in the PRESS, that this great be-.
reavemeLt vas so near in his own track.
Toe afflicted families have been much COM
forted by the tender sympathy of hosts of
friends and even OF strangers whose hearts are
touched by their sad bereavement. In their
sorrow those who loved the lost can only hope
that He who rules the sea and the storm has
taken them to Himself.
"Alone in the dark, alone on the wave,
To buffet The storm alone,
Ts struggle Agh&st at their watery grave.
To struggle and feel there is none to save.
God shield the helpless onesgf

Slate euarrr ON Diamond I.Iana

A very fine quality of roofing slate has been
found on Diamond Island. The vein appears
to be about two rods wide, running from Dia-
mond Cove in Southwest direction. Experts
who have examined samples, judging by the
surface quality, think that deeper in the vein
will be far better and as good as can be found.
Mr.. Moore Of Waterville speaks highly of it.

A Dead Grandmother.

Soldiers who have been long absent
from their homes are liable to he at
tackled by the species of melancholy
known as home sickness. So intense
becomes the yearning to return home
that soldiers have been known to
MAIN themselves in order to be dis
charged from the army. During the
civil war, not few of the soldiers in
both armies became so hOmesick that
they framed the most plausible pleas
to secure Il furlough for thirty days.
In one army corps the applications
tor furloughs were so numerous that
an order was issued from head-quar-
tiers which lacOnically said, "Furloughs
only when there is death in the fam
ily.'
The effect of the order was to de
velop an alarming increase of mortal
lty IN the families of both officers and
privates.
Among those who applied for leave
OF absence was an Englishman. He
mad no relatives in the United States,
but his application read, 81 have lost Il
grandmother
HE application having been sane
toned by his sympathizing captain,
the soldier carried it to his colonel,
who endorsed it, approved" and then
said
81 am sorry to learn of your aifiic-
ton; when did your grandmother die p
''She was very old, colonel, and
could not have lasted long" answered
the private, ev;Isively.
"But when did she die 2" again ask
ed the colonel, growing little suspi-
cious.
at is quite an inhiction, sir, and
we'll miss her." said the soldier, NOV
ing out Of the tent.
'Are you hard of hearing :" yelled
the exasperated officer; ",CheH did
your grandmother die 7"
"She's been dead forty years, col
onel can't lie about it, but ! ought
to get II furlough on it,"
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1884-01-10
A Runaway Locomotive.

The public have heard of trains
''runing Wild" but the widest of all
wild trains was that which left Mont
pelier early Tuesday morning and
which had on board only one man and
he passenger. The circumstances
were as follows: The engine eyer
mont" runs from Montpelier to Mont
pelier Junction at 1880 a. m, to CON
meet with the night express south, and
on its return it stands i'll the station,
under care of watchman, until 3.25
a. m, when it makes another trip to
the Junction to connect with the night
express north. About half an hour
previous to the departure of the train,
the watchman calls the engineer. On
Tuesday morning during the watch
mans absence, some person las is sup
pOsed) stepped upon and started the
engine aud before it was fairly under
way stepped off. The engine, once
started, kept on its way, crossed the
safety switch at the junction and pro-
ceeded north. Arrangements were at
once made, by telegraph, to sidetrack
the runaway at Waterbury, and to
keep the track clear until that place
should be reached but the steam be
came exhausted and the engine stopped
of its own accord before reaching Mid
dleseX, four miles distant. The engi-
neer followed with IA team, and cap
tured and returned the truant train to
