Portland and Kennebec Trade.

To the Editor ofthe Press:
In looking over the columns of the Lewis
ton journal a few weeks ago noticed that a
steamer had been purchased by P. o. Wick
cry, of Augusta. to be put on the route be-
tween Portland and the Kennebec ports, as
soon as the ice went out in the spring. This
is a move in the right direction and should
be heartily encouraged and patronized by
the people and merchants of Portland as
well as those of the several towns and cities
along both banks of the river, especially if
the steamer be made to call at all convenient
and available landings on each side of the
river ON her upward and downward trips.
The trade that could be developed between
these points and Portland is well worth the
consideration of Portland merchants, to say
nothing of the increase of summer travel
from Boston to the seaboard towns of Harps-
well, Phippsburg and Georgetown.
The trade of Georgetown alone would be
an item well worthy the attention of Port
land merchants, containing a population as
it does of HOO inhabitants, hitherto some
what isolated and debarred from free COM
mercial intercourse with Bath by the excess
siye tolls paid on bridges and for ferrage
fees in crossing the rivers.
By placing steamer ON this route Port
land becomes Georgetown's natural outlet
and trading centre. These benefits should
not be moderated nor overlooked by Port
land nor the owners of the boat, and any EN-
conragement given to the above enterprise
will be heartily appreciated and patronized
by us all here.

peared with Barney, who had been picked
up in Chicago, and been found by jury to
be insane and resident of Bangor, Maine.
The officer who brought on the man also
brought on nice little bill of expenses,
amounting to $3.50, with polite request
appended thereto asking payment thereof.
Bangor officers told the Chicago officer TO
take Barney off their hands at once, which
he declined to do. A warrant was then isss
sued by Judge Brett, of the Municipal Court
under the statute, and ordering him to appear
before the April term of the Supreme judi
cial Court and make answer thereto. ms
warrant was duly served, and the officer lett
for Chicago, Morgan meanwhile remaining

the April term of court, the case Will be de-
faulted and judgment issued for amount Oh

carcass. The whole property destroyed was
valued at about $500. William Allen, Jr.,

A Cats Experience in the Blizzard.
Bangor Whig.1

A cat on High street had rather cold ex-
perience during the recent storm 1t was
chased by dog and ran up tree where it
took position among the branches. 1t re-
manned on this exposed perch two days
through the storm, refusing to come down,
and word was finally sent to Mr.. ingalls,, of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. He was sick and unable to come
out, but had Mr. j. G. Whites attention
called to the matter. Mr.. White sent two
young men with a ladder to the cats rescue,
but the feline refused TO recognize the goodly
intentions of the party and as they assembled
the ladder she went up higher among the
branches where it was impossible to follow
her. Finding that they could not reach the
cat the young men we're forced to leave her
to her fate, but after remaining on her lofty
perch for twenty-four hours longer, making
about three days in all, the cat concluded it
was about time to reach terra Grma and came
down.
