CLAM BAKE AT DIAMOND ISLAND
An Original Poem by george b.
Griffith.

One of tie most enjoyable clambakes OF
the season occurred at Diamond Island on
Saturday afternoon. The party consisted OF
the Sunday school class of George Ii. Lord
and their ladies. with the officers Of
the Chestnut street Sunday school
and other invited friends, In sill a company
of 70 persons.
The immediate occasion Of the gathering
was the return of Mr.. Augustus e. Moore
and family after residence In California of
IS years, and now visiting Mr.. E. G. p
Smith, at Diamond Island. After most
bountiful dinner of splendidly cooked ana
delicious clans and Holsters. which woulo
have made the Masons happy on June 24th,
and their grand parade a splendid success,
most excellent after dinner speeches
were made under the direction of Mr.
Smith. George III. Allen, Esq, in a
most happy manner, extended to Mr.. Moore
in behalf of the company hearty welcome,
to which Mr.. Moore replied in a most appro-
pirate manner
Other addresses were made by Mr.. E. S
Everett, W. j. Knowlton, Esq, Mr.. S. r.
Leavitt and DR.. N. T. Whitaker. Mr.. G. H.
Baker read the poem delivered last Friday
at the Methodist Centennial on Boston Com
mon. and Mr.. George B. Griffith read an orig
inal poem.
At an early hour in the evening the party
returned TO the city unable to decide wheth.
er their generous host excelled in serving
with his excellent family the luscious bi
valves or in the capacity of timely and fe
licitous POSTMASTER.
Ali felt most emphatically that the mar
cotic weed and rudy bowl are not needed
to make clambake perfect success. Suci
gatherings are productive of great good an(
will ever be held in grateful remembrance.
This is Mr.. Grifith's poem, entitled "Th'
Whistlng Buoy
What sound Is that meath the staress sky.
Like an ocean monsters sf,nsd th satn Hand
| lis the whistling buoy the seaman's friend.
A cheer seems mingled with warnings cry;
1t breathes its notes when the fog hangs nigh,
And priced is the message IL loves to send
For the whistling buoy is the seaman's friend.
0 it lulls the seabird on her nest
In the cosy sIindles iron breast,
And the iistning ear, where strong arms bend,
Knows well the voice of the Seaman's friend!
And the mighty ships that plough the deep,
careful record ever keep
| OF its ocean home, their curse to mend
So munIe it not, nor call it drear,
| IT'S music sweet to many an ear
When the roar OF the sea and the tempest blend
Yes, the whistling buoy is the seaman's freud.
o happy youth, whose whistled tune
Makes others glad this afternoon,
In blessings may your heart notes end,
Such.as are won by the seaman's friend.

MORTGAGE STATISTICS.
Very Good Showing for the Farm
ers.

Mr.. g. II. Allen, special agent of the cen.
sus once, has been at work for the past
TWO months at Alfred, collecting statistics
relating to the mortgage indebtedness OF
forK county = Today he will take up his
work In Cumberland county, completing II
( In about one month. The work thus fal
done shows that many of the extrayagant
statements made respecting farm mortgages
| In Cumberland and York counties are en-
tirely false, that on the contrary the farm
are not heavily mortgaged.
In York county, for the 10 years, 1880 to
1889 inclusive, the work shows that but 1866
mortgages were recorded. The principals of
these mortgages were for small amounts.
OF these over one-half are discharged of
record, while the answers returned to the
questions relative to the discharge, show
that great many of those uncancelled of
record are in fact discharged. The prelimin-
airy examination made by the census Office.
before undertaking the general work, shows
that but one-tenth of one per cent of the
| mortgages created prior to 1890 remain nm
| discharged.
VI mortgages the greater number are on
city, village and watering place property.
Perhaps it will be safe to say that two.thirds
OF the mortgages secured are on this class
OF property. As to location of the mort
gagged property the search shows that the
towns along the coast are more heavily
mortgaged than those farther inland. proba-
bly, due to the decline in ship building and
watering place speculations.
One of the questions sent out is the pur
pose for which the money was used. The
answers thus far received show that the
greater number Of mortgages were given to
secure purchase money to make improve
ments, while but few comparatively were
given to pay pre-existing debts. While ac-
eurate results cannot of course be given at
this time, enough has been received to show
that Maine will be near the head of the list
OF States having the least indebtedess.
The work is being done with the greatest
accuracy, the design being to eliminate err
rors to as great an extent as possible.
1t Is not expected that the work can he
completed In the state under two months
but is being pushed as rapidly as possible.
