The por2ie steamer George +. Morse,
cane into Boothbay liarbor Tuesday after !
noon with 300 barrels Of porgies they had |
caught that day. The DAY previous they |
took 1866 barrels and gave 200 more to one |
Of the other steamers The whole fleet |
from Church & iiashaway's factory at
Liniken took 400 barrels Monday Of last
week. They are working night and day |
crew and il is said the fish never were more /
pleaty.
The slate in the old Brownyille quarry is |
OF remarkably good quality. Mr.. II. s. |
Hobbs the veteran slater of kockland hiss n
sample OF this slate which is said to sur
pass any piece of slate ever before exam
med by experts, in fiaeness and straight |
ness Of grain and in rifling qualities. As
one looked at this piece Of slate il WAS
apparently one piece II by lG inches and |
one ighih inch thick. That so thin piece |
of slate could be split at all was scarcely |
credible, but as he showed us, it had been |
split twice and WAS really three pieces of
exactly equal thickness-or rather thinness
and each absolutely perfect. All the |
slate ia the quarry is of equally straight
grain. and can be split as fine as that; and
it is Of superior quality in every respect. |
The quarry is an old one, but has not been
worked for some years till recently. when |
work was resumed there by new company. |
BY the use of snch slate roofs covered with !
that material can be made as light as chin |
gled ones.

Deer appear 10 understand that this is |
close time and to have become very bold in
consequence. They are frequently reported

We understand that certain parties are
spr aiding the story that members of the
Salvation Army were confined in the Ken
nebec Jail some years since for endeavor-
ing to enforce the prohibitory law. 1t is
needless TO say that any such statement is
absolutely and wickedly false. No person
who has any regard for truth will give cur
tency TO such lie. The
trouble with the Salvation
Army WAS wholly over the question of
parading the streets with q drum without
permission of the Mayor and in violation of
city ordinance governing that matter. The
members Of the army were arrested on this
account wholly. Their drum was taken
from them, bat was afterwards returned to
them on writ OF replevin. The que stion
of the prohibitory law or its enforcement
was in no wise connected with the matter,
and any person who states that II WAS, states
what is false.
