In Defence OF the Della Collins.
Some two weeks ago the steamer Della
Collins, which plies between Gardiner and
Augusta in connection with the steamer Star
of the East, went to Bowdoinham one of her
''oti' days to take an excursion party of G..
A. r. boys and their families from that place
to Wiscasset. The trip WAS successful one,
and everybody seems to have had good
time, except, perhaps, the editor of the
the steamer and scenery, and so disguised
one of the bows in blue in the party that he
comes to the defence of the Kennebec steamer
in the following style, which appears in last
weeks Advertiser:
HIS Honor saws the Della Collins is "a
venerable tub. how old it is impossible to
tell and useless to conjecture" Now, a. a
matter of fact, l find upon consulting the
official register, that this steamer was built
in 1879, and is therefore in the sixth year of
Der age, not so very Anticipated after all.
This is a very small matter, but the point
will be readily observed, that an old boat is
unsafe. The Della Collins is fiat bottomed,
light draught steamer, commodious and safe !;
the only really suitable excursion boat avail
able to run up our small rivers. She is not
fast boat. but as she made the trip from
Bowdoinhsm to Wiscasset in two hours and
forty Ave minutes, gave more than four hours
stay at the latter place, and returned to Bow
doinham all between the hoars of q. m. and
p. m, not much fault can be found with
her speed. Perhaps the asthmatic sound OF
the steamers whistle was owing to the i'm
paired hearing of the critic. of which we will
be silent.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, lons and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some election

stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspir-
