Honey from Richmond.

The next issue of the Belfast Journal will appear
in dress of type. In its present dress the
paper is better clothed than the majority of its
contemporaries but its publishers are proud, and
fortunately able to pursue a liberal policy in
the management of their excellent sheet. We are
glad to hear them say that their efforts to make the
Journal the first newspaper of its class in the State
are appreciated, and that they have found the
present year an unusually prosperous one. We
hope their good fortune may prove lasting, as they
are in every way deserving of it. Richmond Bee

STEAMER NOTES 1t was found the 9th, the
day the Cambridge to have left Boston for
Bangor, that her shaft cracked, and she
withdrawn from the line. She will undergo
tensive repairs requiring about five weeks =. The
Penobscot laid over at Rockland the night of the
9Th, on her trip to Boston, proceeding next day..
The katahdin has received an entirely new hog
frame, which is in the form of truss in her lower
cabin. The workmen have given her a thorough
repairing and have examined every part of the
whole steamer. The inspectors now say that she
is good for twelve years She will go on the route
in about two weeks - The general earnings of the
boats of the b. & b. S. S. Co., have been much
larger this year than last. The Wing is informed
that work on Capt. behring's new steamer, which
is being built to run between Boston and Eastport,
is progressing very rapidly. The keel has been
laid for some days. 1t is thought by those inter
ested in the steamer that it will do large bust
ness. ....There was but one arrival from Boston
last week, the Penobscot on Saturday morning. :.
The Maine Central found the running of steamer
Lille from Mt. Desert Ferry to Millbridge an I'M
profitable venture, and has therefore discontinued
her trips for the winter.

Hartford History.

While in conversation very recently
with one of the old citizens of this
county we learned that Hartford, our
neighboring county town, was first
settled IN the year l777. The informa-
ton was based on the statement OF
Uncle John Moseley, one of the old
veterans of this county. who was born
in Culpepper county, Va, June 2, 1777,
during which year his father came to
this State, and was one of the first to
east anchor at the little fort a few
hundred yards above where Hartford
now stands. This makes Hartford
los years old. We are also told that
the usual weight of this man MoseIy
was $50 pounds. He died February
2lst, ls4i. He was married to Jane b.
Falton. To this couple were born
Twenty-Five natural children thirteen

of wheat from 20 to 50 bushels, and of
oats from so to 10 bushels. There is a
peculiar kind Of rough land there il

winter is brought to the surface by
freezing and thus adds to the strength
of the soil. He has always liked the

from his old home he likes it a great

Dedication OF the Baptist Church I'm
Hart fnrd


Rev. j. B. Moody delivered the ded-
icatory sermon to the vast multitude
that thronged the court hall to hear
this eloquent divine. Although it had
rained almost necessarily for days,
when the dedication morn dawned up
on us, the clouds rolled back and the
sun sent forth lis approving smile. The
day was beautiful and bright, and the
joyous birds seemed to sing "a happier
song on this occasion.
Rev. Mr.. Moody Is fine speaker, a
clear, earnest and impressive reasoner,
and his choice language contained all
the keenness of the invisible lance, and
was brought To bear with the consum-
mate skill of n masterhand, insOmuch
that the finest texture of "A healthy
nerve was undisturbed in its passage to
the diseased heart. He admonished us
as little flock To cultivate those Christ
ian virtues towards each other that ~
much beautify and adorn our lives.

beautiful as these graces of God, fash.

stands was the first church organization
formed in this entire county, something
near a hundred years ago, surrounded
by those circumstances that tried the
hearts of men, and composed Of only
three gentlemen and two ladies of the
Baptist faith. The new church, after
having three hundred dollars donated
them by the Home Mission Board of
this Association. still lacked some three
hundred To liquidate its entire indebt
edness. DIR. Coleman, in a very
modest and pleasant manner, appealed
10 the audience, and they finding II
much mere delightful to give than to
receive, in a few minutes raised four
hundred, even more than sufficient to
cover the contingent expenses. Ailer

cool, shady yard that surrounds our

greetings and hand-clasps, the bell in
