East Lamoins.
The common salua,ion now Is, "Aint
this splendid weather." We have had our
reminder from Jack Frost OF the DAYS in
which he expects 10 rule. He has touched
Us gently so far, and DO not earn Of any
serious loss 10 the cranberry crop from the
one or two night visits he has made.
Talking with our people learn that
the cranberry crop this season, which is now
being gathered, will be unusually large

Our people are busy blowing and pre-
ing. I notice great Improvements on quite
a number Of the farms and buildings, in this
distric, ami am told that it is the same in
other parts of our town. Our people are
learning from experience, that Bar Harbor
is a good and convenient market for their
surplus produce, hence the ploughing up of
WORKOUT fields, the getting up of sea-dress-
ing, getting out unsghtly rocks and using

ter crops may be realized.
Our summer guests, relatives and
friends are departing for their distant homes
and few are coming to make short visits
before the fine weather we are having shall
give place to the cold hracing season of an
Eastern New England fall.
Mrs. Perry Fitzpatrick and little son,
who have been making a visit to the old
homestead of Samuel Gilpatrick, started by
rail on Monday, and are now on the way to
their home in Chicago, Ill.
Mr. Wellington Huckins, wife and chill
dren, who have been residents for years in
Chicago have come to reside with their aged
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Huckins and
they will be company and staff to them in
their declining years.
Mrs. Clarinda Eaton, widow of the late
Stephen Eaton, and her little grandchild,
are making a visit among numerous rela-
tives and friends after an absence of many
wears. Mrs. Eaton came to attend the buri-
al of her niece Miss Emma Hastings, men
toned IN our notes last week.
Willis Salisbury, in company with his
sister, Mrs. Sinclair, who have been resi-
dents for many years in California, is max
ing visit to their home in this town. Mr..
Salisbury is a very promising young man,
whom failed TO recognize as the boy who
left here eight years ago. He will return to
Join his father and two brothers the coming
month, while his sister, Mrs. Sinclair, will
remain till next spring, this being her first
visit in eleven years.
MIR. Edward Adams. Senr, and his
daughter, Mrs. Evans, who have spent the
season at the Tarratine, Hancock, until it
closed last week, are at the Desisle House
for few weeks stay, with Mr.. Edward
Adams, Jun, who has been visitor among
us number Of seasons. They are of the
opinion that this month must be good
month for enjoyment and have no doubt
this opinion will be verified by their stay.
We forgot to notice in our last, that
Mr.. Porter Smith, engineer Of the Acadia,
has rented the Shea cottage, moved his wife
and children, and they are now enjoying
themselves in their home on the cliff over
hanging the sea.
| Mr.. Samuel LETTERS informed me that
two weeks from to-day, Monday he shall
close up his cottage at Burke's Point and re-
turn to his home in Boston, so that the chill
dren may not lose too much of their schools
