We are having remarkably fine weather
for the season OF the year. Some people
seem 10 think that we are getting too
much rain, but If we should have heavy
frosts ans snow that would no, suit every
one. On the whole the matter is under
right government and will be ordered for
the best.
About four o'clock the other morning,
We had quite a miniature thunder storm
from the southwest. which was followe
by a very pleasant day. We notice that
quite large number Of our farmers are
busy breaking up new land. and quite
large amount of cultivation will be attend
ed to in market gardening for the coming
season.
The general health Of our people Is good;
our schools now in session are compare
lively free from cpidemics saving the pre-
valliug colds incident to the fall and win
ter terms. Oar aged people are in robust
health generally, and able 10 be about live
ly. Mr.. Alanson Googins is much better
than he was. and Aunt Jane as nearly
every one calls her is on a fair way for re-
covery. She can sit up and walk about,
and take considerable nourishment. She
gives high need of praise to her phys
ician, DR.. A. C. Hagerthy, of your city,
for his prompt professional attendance
upon her during her long confinement to
her sick room. Your correspondent IS
firm believer in the potency of faith in the
patient toward working a cure.
Mrs. Isaiah Fitzpatrick has removed from
among US. and will make her home with
her brother-n-law. Capt. Clark Of Surry
She will be much missed Always strict
attendant on church service, a willing
a III OH t.l. "A
nevolent societies, the best wishes of her
neighbors have gone with her to her new
home. The old homestead being the prop
erty of the Lamoine and Mt Desert Land
Co. will now have for tenant Mr. George
Eddy until required by the company
Quite number of houses are now closed
in our district for the winter season. The
owners with their families have gone
westward, chiefly to Massachusetts, to
work at trades, builders and house carpeu-
tiers.
Our neighbor, Mr.. David SWEET is doing
considerable work around his new place
of residence, which In the coming season
will show to advantage, being a very
slightly location.
Capt. Frank L. Wnterbotham is at
home and as busy as he can be around his
place and in his workshop. The Captain
is quite an expert with carpenters tools
and with the painters brush, so that he
finds enough work to do when not in COM
mand of the ferryboat. The pressers
of hay are being Kept busy, and will soon
have to take the wood saving machine.
Our people do not seem inclined to stand
still for something to turn up" but take
all chances for securing honest labor.
The Lamoine Beach post-office is the
starting point of the contractor. lothian
Reynolds. He commenced his day trips
Nov. l, leaving this Office at 8 80 a. M,
and returning leaves Ellsworth in time to
deliver his mail at 4 80 p. m. Our mail
carrier is worthy and responsible officer
and all business committed to him as q
common carrier will be promptly attended
to.
Csrds Of invitation are out for the silver
wedding Of C. B. Hodgkins, p. NJ, of East
Lamoine. which will take place Nov. II.
We predict large gathering and good
time
Our bay seems nearly deserted, but few
vessels are moving and those are three
masted schooners, all, we presume, engage
ed in granite carrying; consequently large
focks of sea fowl are everywhere met
with and sportsmen are to be seen in all
directions.
Cataracts of political defamation thun-
der in our mother state are by this time
well hushed and again our country is
saved. Politics for many weeks has had
great prominence in our Boston papers,
but we shall have the space occupied by
the other matters Of social fe.
Our thanks are due the editor of the
AMERICAN for his able leader on Metho-
dism in the last issue. Such contributions
mark the growth and prevalence of pro-
gressive religion, and herald the coming
of that time when charity will govern al
religious denominations.
