HOW OYSTERS ARE RAISED.
There are many curious things about the
oyster that are not generally known and one of
the strangest Of them is their power Of repro
duction. II the enemies OF the oyster could be
killed and every oyster egg that was laid could
become a ful-grown oyster the ocean would
hardly contain them at the end of a century or
so. single oyster, it is estimated will lay
/, 100000 eggs. and an English scientist lately
counted n million eggs in the spat from q single
oyster. He did this BY taking a small portion
of this spat and putting it under microscope and
then estimating the whole spat. These oyster
eggs are invisible to the naked eye. They come
from the oyster in a sort of a cloud and the
oysters when first born are one one-hundred-
and-fftieth of an inch in length. They are very
delicate and are susceptible to cold, and they
move up and down when in a larval state and
finally fix themselves to some body and grow to
be minute oysters looking at first like white
dots and afterward growing to one-twentieth of
an inch in diameter, and then very rapidly in
creasing until thsy get to be good-sized oysters.
An oyster a wear old il as big around as a
twenty-fve-cent piece, and healthy oysters
oHghl 20 grow about an inch year until they
are three or four years old, when they are full
grown
Speaking of the size Of oysters, they are so
small at first that 1900. 900 of them could be
crowded in a square inch of space. They are
curious creatures. The oyster has mouth,
but no head Its mouth is at the narrowest
part of the body. 1T is merely hole in the
oyster. and it has no tongue nor no teeth. The
mouth is very close to the stomach and it is

AN ARMY OF THEM.
Large Indeed-The Success of the
Search Light.

FABYAN's, September 2.-The Mount
Washington search light has created con-
siderable interest and on clear, starlight
nights it has been operated with sue
cess. Experience has shown, however,
that there are limitations even to search
lights, and it has been complete failure
on cloudy nights. There has been a gen
eral belief that this light was placed here
for scientific purposes, but it turns out
to be nothing but an advertising scheme,
to bring it to the notice of the govern
ment and coastwise and ocean-going
steamer-owners. with view to having It
adopted. 1t is limited that an effort will
be made to get Congress to make an APP
preparation to purchase lights and place
them along our harbors. The expert
ments here have established the fact
that it is of no use on thickly clouded
nights, when it would be OF the greatest
importance to steamers coming in or
going out to sea. 1t is impossible to
pierce a thick cloud with its beam of
light.
High water mark in the summer BUSH
ness was reached for the season of 1862
about August 30. The arrivals for July
throughout the mountains were no larger
than they were last year, which WAS the
lightest we have had for several seasons,
but August has been a much better
month. Every hotel and boarding house
within thirty miles of Mount Washington
has been crowded. There have been
more people in the White Mountain re-
gion during August this year than were
ever here on similar period in former
years. The July pleasure business in
New England appears to be growing less
each year, and the month is no longer a
profitable one to hotels and railroads. 1t
is evident that summer recreation bust
ness is being crowded into August
There is tendency to remain
later in the country than in
former seasons. but as gene
raj thing those who come in August re-
turn to bushes on the LIST of September.
The later guests are from that class who
have had no vacation and come here for
only week OF two. Unless the month
is cold and wet, September is very
pleasant time to visit the White Noun
tains. The latter part of the month is
gay with brilliant autumnal colors. The
mountain sides are tinted with the bright
yellow of the birch and poplar, intermin-
gled with the dark green of the fir and
spruce, making as attractive a combina-
ton of colors as can be found in any
woodland valley, or glen, or mountain
side in New England.
A careful estimate shows that there
must have been on the last of August
within a radius of 40 miles of Mount
Washington not less than 1000 summer
guests, who leave an enormous sum to
these New Hampshire landlords. In

OBITUARY..
Dorcas T. Freethy.

Mrs. Dorcas Tryon, wife of Reuben
Freethy, died yesterday morning at 8
o'clock after a long and trying illness.
She had reached the ripe age of rs years
and six months. Her sickness was the
result of la grippe contracted last winter
from which she never fully recovered.
Mrs. Freethy was one of those women
who made everybody feel better by her
presence and whom the world can i'll af-
ford to loose. Kind, gentle and loving, al
ways mindful of the wants of others first.
She was a Christian from her strong
sense of right and was a member of Pine
street Methodist church. She always
succeeded in making her home one of
sunshine. A large circle of friends will
mourn her loss and none more than her
own family. She often said during her
sickness that death had no terrors for
her, as she had always done the best she
knew by everybody. She passed peace
fully away to her long home surrounded
by her family. The funeral will take
place Sunday afternoon at o'clock from
her late residence, "a Brackett street.

A GOLD DAY FOR PORTLAND.
Their Maine Rivals Outbat lThem and
Profit by Their Errors.

1t was rather chilly yesterday after
noon and before the Portlands had Sic
ceeded in getting the kinks out OF their
fingers the game was lost. Perhaps none
were SO surprised as the players them
selves, when in the first inning error al
ter error was made until we had four
marks against us and the visitors had
five runs to our two.
OBrien opened up for us with single
and took second when Kirmes got his
base on balls, and home on Rogers's sac
riice, which sent Kirmes to second.
Kirmes got home on Maddens single,
and the two runs Of the game were
scored for us.
John O'Brion got three bases for
Lewiston and scored on Connaughton's
two Dagger. The little Lewiston catcher
then stole second and got home when
McAuley threw wild to head him off at
third.
Then Cook popped up fly to Clymer,
who strange to say, did not make friends
with it and the man got first. He got
second on that wild throw of the catch
er's, third on Bradley's single and home
on Kirmes's muff of Sheehan's fly, which
gave Bradley second. Then Burns fun
bled A. Lezotte's grounder, giving the
man his base and letting Bradley have
third and Sheehan second. Then T, Lee
zotte hit over second base for single
and sent two men in, and came near get
ting in two more, but they were both
caught on third.
This finished the scoring for both
sides, Carey and Wheeler both pitching

LITTLE ICE ON HAND.
If the Winter Is Favorable Maine Har
yesters Will Be Busy.

AUGUSTA, Me-, September a. The
amount of ice in store in the houses
along the Kennebec river is the smallest
for many years at this time of the ship
ping season, although prices continue at
a comparatively low figure. Shipments
during the past week have not been as
lively as on several previous weeks,
which is owing in part to the cold, foggy
weather prevailing, and companies
south getting overstocked from large
shipments, all the companies having
been steadily employed since June l.
Many of the houses are already empty,
and all expect to be by November l. A
fair estimate of the ice on hand is as fol-
lows:
