Rar Harbor Adventures.

On the west shore of Ironbound, Mt De-
sert is natural bridge that, so far as is
known, was crossed for the first time last
week by party of venturesome gentlemen
who are in the habit of taking morning
row in four-oared barge. Messrs. Howard
and Alfred Conkling, nephews of Hon. Ros-
coe ConllIing, and Cope and Howell, on
Tuesday last, landing upon the island, and
threading and pushing their way through
a tangled and almost impossible growth OF
shrubbery, reached at last the summit of a
very tall cliff. Descending its almost per-
pendicular face for about fifty feet, they
stood beside the natural bridge that. itself,
crossed the chasm at height of fifty feet
above high water mark. Mr.. Howell was
the first man ever known to cross the bridge.
AS it appeared very frail, this he did with a
great caution and in sitting posture. The
last man over, Mr.. Alfred r. Conkling, EN-
boldened by the others success, attempted
''skinning the cat and other hazardous
feats upon this narrow arch of stone, that
spanned chasm of terrifying depth.

THE STATE LANDS.
What State Agent Packard has to say
about Them.

The annual report of State Agent Packard
corrects the misrepresentation of the law re-
lating to Reserved Lands or, as they are
sometimes designated, Public" or "School
Lots" These lands have been reserved for
the use of schools, and are in the custody of
the Land Agent for this purpose. In a suit
brought by the State against Cutler, the de-
cision of the court was that these lands were
never owned by the State of Maine and con-
sequently cannot be disposed of by it, but
that the State shall have the care and man
agement of the lands, for the benefit of those
for whom they are reserved, until the town
ship in question is incorporated into a town.
In some cases the officers of plantations
have, without authority, sold the timber
from these lands and used the proceeds, for
plantation purposes. Judgment. has been
rendered in favor of the plantation in the
case for the recovery Of stunmIpagge Of timber
q. Another suit is pending to recover pay
for timber and bark cut on reserved lots in
