The kenne0ec Journal says:
The class yell decided on by the ladies OF
| the Freshman class at Colby Is reported t.

tesseres kai ennenakonts, dux femina facta,

VIII give due notice, whenever they decide
to execute this yell In public.
Publication Of the notice three times,
thirty days In advance Of the execution would
be amply sufficient.
One class of men who do not admire the
beautiful ce-plating that the late storm left
behind on trees and buildings, to say nothing
of rails, wires and sidewalks, Is the ship
builders of Bath. Their timber Is mostly
stored oct OF doors, and Of course Is coated
over with the same ics that everything else
carries. The Bath Times says 1t will cost as
much to clean this off so the timbers can be
used as 1t Will to put the timber5 into the
vessels. Tons OF salt will be used In melting
the Ice off.
1t is said that nearly every house In Bass
Harbor has in the shape OF a rolling pin or
stair-rall, or picture-frame, or something or
other, relic OF the barque William Carey of
London, built Of East Indian teak wood, that
went ashore there in 1863 A company of
Colts islanders put out 10 boat at the peril
of their lives and tried desperately to save
the oarque, but In vain. She was famous as
the vessel that took the first missionary to
india and was named for him. Although
one hundred years old when she was wrecked
her teak-wood timbers showed no slgus OF
decay.
Bangor has fit OF economy occasionally
that sometimes break out In bad places.
The members Of the fire department have
Tor number o. years received the prlneely
SUN of $50 DER annum In full for their ser
vices. As the city has grown, these services
have grown also, but the remuneration Is at
a S audstill. Successive city governments
have passed the matter OF an Increase along
without action until now some Of the fremen
threaten to go out OF business. The city
fathers should hasten to comply with rea.
sonable demands of the men who protect
them from fire lest the entire department re-
signs In body and leave the Queen City at
the mercy OF the flames.

Journal OF Bangor, not a wild western sheet.

Last Thursday must have been a cold day
at Pulpit Harbar. At any rate Mr.. Charles
Brown placed a can OF kerosene on the stove
10 warm. 1t warmed and soon caught fire.
Mrs. Brown caught no her child, year and
a half old and rushed out of doors, but the
fire caught her dress and both she and the
child were severely burned. Mr.. Brown at
tempted to throw the can out OF the window
but it struck on the sill and fell back on the
floor, and the room was soon In flames. The

badly burned soout the face and arms.
