The Journals Mission.

The speciality of the journal is the local
news of Belfast and vicinity, and its readers
and contemporaries testify that it covers the
field well. Maine news, the general news of
the day, literature, etc., receive attention also ;
and apart from this good deal of original
matter of local or general interest is furnished.
We need only recall the entertaining Canals"
by Governor Crosby; the army sketches by the
Rev. T. Gerrish, which subsequently had a
large sale in book form; the inimitable
sketches and letters of "Our George" for
which there is constant demand that can
only be satisfied by book made up of the
writings of this popular Maine humorist: the
many historical sketches, such as that of The
Early Settlers of Montville and to come to the
present time Mr. Wardwers Traditions of the
Elders which have been copied and commend
ed by many of our exchanges, the "Notes by
the Way" by Brusque, the chatty letters of
Quidam and Sigma, and the valuable articles on
agricultural topics by Arthur l. Brown and
others. Such contributions as we have men
toned add TO the current interest of the Jour
nal and enhance the permanent value of its files,
in which the future historian will find wealth
of material. They also help in making the
journal what we intend it to be- Maine paper
for Maine people, devoted to their interests.
and always ready to aid and encourage every
worthy enterprise and aspiration.

Tender Remembrances.

One day last week. as | was riding over our
hills and valleys, noticed a lonely little grave
yard between the towns of Palermo and Free
dom. 1t contained three gravestones that lad
stood out in the rain and sunshine for many
years. A sight met my eye, in this lonely rest
ing place, that touched tender spot in my
heart, "a little flag was proudly waving on
grave of fallen hero, while a Bobolink was
perched on his gravestone sending forth his
warbling notes seeming to say, "Here lies our
Honored Dead" We hitch our unruly horse
to a bush and pay this grave visit. As we
draw near we see that it had been decorated
with flowers. Some loving hand had gathered
lowland violets and placed them on this grave.
Standing beside the resting place OF this fall
en- hero who fought for his country's cause on
the battle-tieds in the South, as the sinking sun
reflected its golden rays upon the smooth mar
bic stone that marked his last resting place in
the journey of life, thought with the poet:
"The shadows fall upon their graves,
They fall upon my heart;
And through the twilight of my soul
Like dew the tears will start.
The starlight comes SO silently,
And fingers where they rest,
SO hopes revealing starlight sinks
And shines within my breast"
In my journey South last fall, after had
spent some happy days at the Capitol of our
country, remembered that in passing through
Fredericksburg, Va, | caught glimpse OF
Fredericksburg Union Cemetery, spot where
many northern hero lies, aud of no " beauti-
full it looked to me. The grass around il was
fresh aud green, and the flag of our country
was proudly waving in the Southern sunshine
MANY father and mother of the North who
have loved ones inferred in that cemetery find
their way there" said gentleman to me- "and
they are so well pleased with the picturesque
place, that they think it better not to take up
their dear ones and move them to northern
chimes but to let them rest In peace" Who
would not feel proud of government that has
done SO much to make beautiful the last rest
ing places of these noble heroes. Perhaps COL
Hersey of your city will pardon me for men
tioning his name in this communication but I
would like to say that l was highly interested
when, in his address on Memorial day at
Unity, he spoke of those Union Cemeteries in
the South. All honor to Congress for making
these resting places of the boys in blue IN the
South SO tasteful and beautiful.

We have reported in our local columns, as a
matter of news, the movement in behalf of i'm
proving Northport avenue. although we doubt
the expectancy of the city eXpendins 200, or
even $500, for such a purpose at this time. The
avenue is now wide enough, and in sufficiently
good condition, for all practical purposes, and
there would necessarily be strong opposition
TO eNpending more money in simply making
this place for speeding horses. The difficult
ties in the way of widening the avenue con
tempated are greater than many suppose. and
the work would necessarily be very costly if
the roadway is to be left in as good order
now. With the increasing burdens upon real
estate, caused by the depreciation and sale of
vessel property, and the present high rate of
taxation, the city cannot afford to indulge in
unnecessary expense.

We print on the first page an interesting ac
count of the menhaden fishery, which for Il
short time was an important Maine industry.
1t appears that the fish are as plentiful as ever,
although they have ceased to visit Maine wat
ers 1t is suggested that this may be due to the
unusual GOODNESS of the water on our coaytsJbut
local fisherman thinks that the fish cannot get
here because of the steamers which surround
and capture them when they head this way.
The latter explanation strikes as the most
reasonable and it is probably the true one.
