Bar Harbor Notes

The Green Mountain railroad closed a
most successful seasons business Saturday
1t is said that Mrs. Rodick, proprietor OF
Bar Island, received last week an offer OF
100000 for the island. This is large ad.
vance on the last previous offer, but the lady
does not seem inclined 10 sell.
A piece of property which sold two years
ago for $4,000 and was offered last yeal
for $4,000, was sold two weeks ago for $685..
000 The purchaser has been offered and
declined $4,000, and has since been asked tc
give bond to sell for $35,0CO but he refused
saying nothing short of SAC, GOO will be con-
sidered as price for selling.
1t is said at Bar Harbor that while nine
teen new cottages have been erected there
since last season, thirty will be built for oc-
cupancy next season.
A large number of cottage lots have been
purchased at Sorrento, the new watering
place in Sullivan, opposite Mount Desert
Ferry and indications are that large colony
will rapidly spring upat Waukeag Point.

Portland schooners Ashore.

A telegram was received here yesterday
forenoon by C. D. Themes & Co., from Capt.
E. S. Bibber, of their fishing schooner Eliza
Themes. The despatch stated that the
Themes was ashore on the bar at the en-
trance of Malpeque Harbor,I Prince Edward
Island, and that the crew was saved. About
the same time J. w. Sawyer q Co. received
despatch from Capt. Orchid, stating that
his vessel, the schooner Ellen w. Sawyer, in
which the firm are principal owners was
ashore on Malpeque bar and filled with wa
ter. The crew were saved.
1t is feared that both the schooners will be
lost as the bar on which they have grounded
is a bad place. The Eliza Themes was built
year ago last spring at a cost of $1,000. She
had been out five or six weeks, and had
about half a catch or 200 barrels of mackerel.
She is insured in the Portland Mutual Fish
ish Insurance Company. The Ellen W. Saw

A despatch to the American Fish Bureau,

The Kitchen Garden.

Reference has been made several times re-
Gently to the kitchen garden undertaken by
the "Y's''. Yesterday afternoon an exhibit
ton was given by the class of twelve young
ladies' who have for only one week been un-
der the instruction of Miss McClees, Super
int of the Kitchen Garden Depart
ment of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. To say that the ladies
present were pleased with the practical
working of the class, would feebly express
their appreciation of it. In the laying of the
breakfast table, and cleaning it methodically,
washing dishes, the washing lesson, arrang-
ing the soiled linen, sweeping and busting a
room, making bee properly, all done by
music and singing, the broom drill and
gymnastic exercises, there was much to en-
joy; but that was not all. One could but
look forward to the results to be gained.
These young ladies hold themselves in read
mess to, teach other young people. 1t is
hoped that class may be formed from
those who are able TO pay for instruction in
this department, thereby enabling the work
to become wider charity, which will be
felt in the homes of the poor, and also in the
homes where in time those receiving this in

BoWERY BEACH.

Friday evening it rained fast while the
stars shone brightly through riffs in the
clouds
In the neighborhood of 100 sail Of eastern
herring catchers passed the Cape one day
last week, bound for Wood Island and Cape
Porpoise. While no herring have yet been
caught at the Cape, they are reported plenty
at the two former places.
Coots began migrating early this season
and large flights Of them may now be seer
nearly every day heading southwark. A few
focks of brant have been observed.
A few days since, a large foreign bark
came running down for the Cape under a
stiff southwest breeze and when near the
whistling buoy hove to and set a signal fol-
pilot. And then occurred an interesting
contest between the tug Warren and small
fisher boat from Richmond Island for the
coveted pilot job. The little boat, in charge
of Mr.. George S. Jordan, had the weather
gauge, and, although at times, it seemed that
she would be overwhelmed by the heavy
wind and choppy sea, she made good heI
course to the bark, arriving there first and
securing the prize.
1t is Stated that is the fifth bark or ship
that Mr. Jordan has piloted to Portland
from outside the Cape this summer.
The changes demanded in the new Jog
signal house at the Cape are progressing
slowly, the foundation walls and roof of the
entire structure having to be relaid sixteen
inches

number of hotel managers and attendants
who had assembled to give Mr.. Sands a
token of their esteem and friendship on
this, the close of his tenth season at the
mountains. A sumptuous dinner was
served and the party then adjourned to
the spacious parlors, where in the midst of
general sociability, the editor Of the White
Mountain Echo, stepped forward and in a
neat speech, announced that the friends as
sembled had contributed purse of S2S5 to
purchase for Mr.. Sands gold watch and
chain, which will be presented as soon as
the watch can be suitably engraved. Mr.
Sands replied in fitting manner. The
party was grand success, and highly COM
plimentary to Mr., Sands.
