The lslesbOra Land Sales.

There has been some discomfort shown at Isles

the lands in that town, Of which We gave some no.

pears from authentic Information which we have
obtained, that the Philadelphia parties who visited
the island last week with their agent, j. Murray
Howe Of Boston, have bought about 100 acres of
land entirely npon the western side of the island
and that the prices paid for these lands have been
generally from = to 50 an acre, with one or Two
exceptions Of small parcels bought at above the
latter price. The average price paid WIS a little
over $50 an acre, including number of buildings
making the whole amount of the purchase thus
about S2J,0o0 instead Of S50,0oO as has been stat
ed. The purchasers are not a land company in
tending to make improvements upon the propertv
but several private individuals, meaning to mold
the land for their own purposes. one gentleman
who bought some 400 acres of land at high prices
some eight years ago in the township has hel.l and
holds his property in the same way, and as we have
said, this has caused some disappointment among
the people at lslcsboro who have wished for more
general settlement and improvement. 1t will be
noticed that none of the purchases made are with

Hewes' Point, where the principal settlements now

any part of the eastern side of the island And
we are correctly informed that the pulcha scrs

The Butter Record of "Shadeiand Boom"

Some time since Prof. L. G.. Bateman visited
Shadeand, the large stock-farm of the Powell
Bros, at Sprngboro, Pa, and gave full and it,
Illustrated account of it in the journal. We have
just received clipping from the Conneautvie,
Pa, Courier, concerning the butter record of a
COW owned by the Powell Bros. from which We
quote as follows:
"Shadeand Boon" (No. $3.50, from June 9Th TO
July 9TH inclusive, 81 days produced l25 pounds
and II ounces of unsalted butter which we are i'll
formed places hers AT the head of all known
cords for that time. This butter was made from
l,'l2la pounds of milk, which she gave during that
period. For this remarkable record it took only
400 pounds of milk for pound Of butter. The
average for the whole time over four pounds
per day. For seven consecutive days she produc-
ed 81 pounds and l5is ounces, or an average of
pounds and 81. ounces per day; and during that
week she gave 400i. pounds of milk and it only
took FOL pounds of milk for pound Of butter;
and for consecutive days her milk made 10 lbs
and OF: of butter and it lacked 80. per day of
making pounds per day for that time. The 10
pounds ounce of butter were made from 2l9
pounds of milk which shows that it took only II Is
pounds of milk for pound of butter, while for
TWO days she lacked only two ounces of butter per
day of averaging j pounds for each day. The
above remarkable record would have been beaten
by several pounds had it not been for the fact that
twice within the time mentioned the was not
IN frstclass condition. In one case she fell of
about two pounds of butter per day. Another
thing that worked against this cows record was
the fact that her milk was taken several miles to
Albion Creamery, where the cream was separated
and chUrned and the butter weighed. The Messrs
Powell Bros so well known that they had a wonder
full COW In "Shadeland Boom before the test was
made, that they issued general invitation for any
one to see her MIXED and the milk weighed and
put under lock ana key. when it was sent to the
creamery where It was separated and churned
by itself. The milking, transporting separating,
churning, working, and weighing of the milk and
butter respectively were wholly done by distin-
terested and responsible persons who stand ready
to make affidavit to all of the facts

The Land Boom In Camden and IsIesbOrO.

W. d. Lewis, of the Mount Desert and Eastern
Land Shore Co., has bonded more land in the Vi
entity of Camden Highlands, his former purchase.
1t is thought that great boom is coming in Cam,
den and lslesboro lands and parties in this city
are investing quite largely in them. There is
little doubt but that the Maine summer resort
property is constantly increasing in value. Ban
gor Commercial.
1t appears from authentic information which we
have obtained that the Philadelphia parties who
visited the island last week with their agent, MIR.
j. Murray Howe of Boston, have bought about
100 acres Of land entirely upon the western side
of the island, and that the prices paid for these
lands have been generally from 81 to $25 an acre
with one or two exceptions, where small parcels
were bought at above the latter price. The aver
age price paid per acre was little over $50, incud-
ing a number of buildings, making the whole
amount of the purchase about $4,000. instead of
$4,000, as has been stated in some of the papers
The purchasers are not a land company, intending
to make improvements upon the property, but sew
eral private individuals who intend to hold the
land for their own purposes. Bangor Wing.

that State was lost to Mr.. Cleveland. 1t dwelt on
the "defections of lifelong Democrats among the
farmers" everywhere upon the active Democratic
organization TO "knife" Cleveland in Rochester,
upon the "smash-u up of the Democrats in Steuben
county and the great "mistake' of Cleveland in
raising the tariff Issue. 1t was Il remarkable de
spatch to appear on the editorial page of a Cleve-
land paper, and caused CONSERVATION in the ranks
of the Democracy. 1t is no secret that Mr.. Ben
nett, who has recently returned home has sent out
a private and trusted agent to make canvass of
this State. The despatch that he received and
printed is the result Of this agents careful observa-
ton. 1t confirms the result of the canvass Of the
State made by representatives of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican State committees. 1t con-
firms the impression that is now widespread and
deepening every day that there is absolutely no
doubt that the electoral vote of this State will be
cast for Harrison and Morton.
