The last trip of the steamer Katabdn.
which runs between Boston and Bangor, was
a memorable one. She had on board twenty
passengers, including several sailors, bound for
Boston, New York and other ports. All went
well until O'Clock on Saturday mornn /,
when the weather, which had been growing
thick, with an increasing sea, suddenly be-
came tremendous squal from the northeast.
with binding snow. The steamer was then
pretty well up TO the Isle of Shoals, and the
ship was heading into the sea. Two immense
waves broke over the bow carrying away a
portion of the bulwarks forward and pouring
into the saloon. The passengers were on deck
in an instant, but all kept cool and behaved
admirably Some put on life preseryers, and
the sailors in the cabin went to work with a
will TO aid the crew. The steam pump was
kept going and every attention was paid to
tightening the ship. The freight on the lower
deck was pitched overheard about 10 o'clock,
and the vessel put about to head the wind
and sea which eased her considerably although
she labored heavily and the seas struck her
with great force, the shock being felt from
stem to stern. The ship made considerable
water. When about ten miles to the westward
Of the Shoals the steamer passed large three
masted coal schooner, waterlogged and in a
sinking condition. Her crew could be seen in
the rigging and she was flying signal of dis
tress.

The steamer ran short OF coal and recourse
was had to everything eombustible that was

toughest experiences, Mr.. Wade says he has
ever had at sea, the steamer made Portsmouth,

accident occurred here Saturday, Jan. g.
About seven o'clock il. the morning, during
the heavy gale and binding snow, Mr..
Hiram Houston assembled to the roof stag
ing of the new ice house belonging to
Benjamin Robinson to make fast a window,
and in the act of dragging board toward
him for the purpose, he was hurled from
the dangerous position and instantly killed.
Being near his own home the lifeless body
of him vino had but few moments before
left it in full strength and vigor was carried
in TO the wife, thus giving her repetition
Of the terrible shock sustained BY her few
years since in finding her then only child, a
little daughter Of three years, drowned in a
spring. Mrs. Houston and her little
child have the heartfelt sympathy Of the
whole community in this sudden bereave-
ment. Funeral services we're held Monday
afternoon at the new church, conducted by
the Masonic fraternity, the deceased being a
member of the order. Rev. Mr. Redon
made a short discourse in a very touching
aud impressive manner, from Mat. 25: ID.
