FIRST MAcKEREL.
The Schooner Ellen Lincoln Arrives from
the Cape Shore.

The schooner Ellen Lincoln arrived
yesterday with catch of $50 barrels of
mackerel taken on the Cape Shore, Nova
Scotia. She is the first of the feet to ar
rive this season. Her fish are consigned
to Webb & Shepherd.
The Lincoln was gone about four
weeks, but caught her fish in about four
days, near Louisberg, Cape Breton. Port
land has about Is sail in these waters at
this time, and when Captain Cook, of the
Lincoln, came away these vessels had
catches ranging from 10 barrels to 210.
The Lizzie Muller had the 21O barrels.
No trouble was reported from yCanadi-
an cruisers, and all the Portland vessels
were keeping outside the three-mile
limit.
Norton, Chapman & Co. secured the
cargo.

Charged with False Pretences.

Deputy Sheriff Skillings arrested
Frank Doliff, of North Yarmouth, on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretences. According to the prosecu-
tion Doliff is charged with agreeing to
sell hay to Benson 6 Dalton, they to
take part of the hay at stated time
and the remainder later, and that Benson
& Dalton closed the agreement by pay
ment of money to Doliff. Benson &
Dalton say they would send for
their hay and then find it had been
sold to some one else. Then they had
Doliff arrested and brought before court
yesterday morning. The case was CON
tinued until Thursday next. Seth L.
Larrabee appeared for Doliff.

Weights of the Heathen.

'Did you ever see Chinese scales?'
said a young man in Mr.. Ira Berry's Ex-
change street store. the other day as he
produced a piece of ivory about the
length of knitting needle, with little
brass tray suspended from an end. The
ivory needle was graduated in mysteri-
GUS way that no one has been able to de-
cipher yet. The little weight hangs from
the scale beam by tiny silk thread, and
the whole scale is of the most delicate
workmanship. The scales will weigh up
to about three ounces troy, but the beam
is graduated neither for avoirdupois or
troy. They are goldsmith's scales, very
delicate, but probably not SO accurate
as the improved Yankee weighing ma
chimes.

Good VIII Farm.

Rev. G. W. Hinckley, the founder and
manager of Good Will Farm, is to occupy
the pulpit at Williston church Sunday
forenoon, and he will speak at Second
Parish church in the evening. Mr..
Hinckley will tell the story of that enter
prise, which our people are becoming so
much interested in, the asylum for boys
near Fairfield on the shore of the Kenne-
bee, familiarly known as the Good VIII
Homes.
Folty bright active boys are now living
in the cottages on the farm, and applica-
tions are being constantly received from
all over New England for accommoda-
tions for homeless boys. Thainstitu-
ton is only four years oM and tie
development has been very marked.
Wherever the cause is presented, hearty
sympathy is manifested and intelligent
benefactors are largely contributing.
The farm is very beautifully located,
and includes over 100 acres of land under
good state of cultivation. Three
cottages and a large barn have been
erected. The commercial travellers are
raising fund of $4,000 to build and
equip an industrial building. Other
cottages and school building are among
the pressing needs. No philanthropy in
our state is more important than this,
and we trust that great many of our
citizens may hear Mr.. Hinckley and as a
result become donors.
No collection will be taken at these
meetings, the purpose being to awaken
an interest in the city, hoping that such
interest may materialize in the way of
financial support in the future.

Maine Central Railroad.

The completion of the Phillips &
Rangeley railroad to Rangeley Lake last
year has so developed travel in that re-
gion, bringing, as it does, many more
business men, that better facilities for
communication with the outside world
are necessitated. and the construction of
a telegraph line between Pennington and
Phillips is already in progress-the wires
between Phillips and Rangeley having
already been strung. The connection,
then, Of Rangeley with the outside world

The sale of furniture and bedding be-

The cut in price was so great that it al

was rush to secure bargains. Many
choice bargains still remain and it will
well repay anyone for the trip, to call
