A recent letter from New York states
.uaS SaPt- W. + Diaht, Iapt. jerome
Tapley and Capt. John Tapley were all i'll
with the grip. Their vessels, the "A. /.
Grace" the Lucia Porter" and the 'Kit
Carson were all near together so that
they could visit and sympathze one with
the other. At Christmas Capt Jerome
Tapley was yet quite ILL., The others were
better, but many other captains near bv
were afflicted in the same way.
1t Is reported that a petition has been
sent to change the mail route from its
present course, TO come by the wav OF
Castine, and across the water to Goose
Falls. This would be very inconvenient
for the people on the south side of the
Cape. 1t Is also very dangerous to cross
the river at some seasons, especially when
1t Is full OF ice. and many do not wish to
have the mail come that way They pre-
fer to take 1t from South Brooksville.
Much regret is expressed that the Gas
tine has stopped running, especially a. all
had not received all their Christmas boxes
which were to come by her. As there Is
no ice, it was hoped she would make II
pay to run all winter.

speaks against public balls on Christmas,
out We may As well give it up. We can
only Influence few to keep them (per-
haps) from carrying dancing to excess

nice entertainments at that time so maj
all could be happy without dancing. 1t
seems 10 me that any rehned person must
naturally shrink from the society of many
