The cargo of the Labrador was being rap

six steamer trains were sent out ove< the

Canada gets he lot.
The cargo for the Monaghan is being rap
idly taken on board. From midnight Sat-
urday Until Monday morning seven specials
beside the regular freight trains arrived
over the Grand Trunk. Both steamers now
at this port ill take out cattle. the Mongc-
liam being sure TO take three deck loads
The large number of cattle now being sent
from this port come from Canada. the Chi
| cago price for western cattle being too high
to pay to export them. Canadian cattle can
be bought much lower, and SO will be taken
in preference to the better, but higher
priced western stock. They'll sing 20, the
roast beef Of old England" and viii then
feast on Canadian cattle.

pumped out by the fire department. The
firm will be very glad when the sewer is

Portland fishermen kept in port yester-
day. Two schooners came in. The ]. s..
Glover brought 1000 pounds of shore fish,
and the S. N. Nunan 5000 pounds. The small
boat fishermen ventured out and all told
took about 5000 pounds. and then were
forced to run for home. It was very I'M
pleasant day outside.
The between decks forward sof the Latra-
dor has been fitted with hammock hooks,
and also with guard room or dungeon
These accommodations were for a detach-
ment of British infantry and engineers she
conveyed to Halifax, N. $. The infantry
ESQ in number. belonged to the "Berk-
shire regiment formerly the GOD of the
line. the regiment that some ten years aeo
was almost destroyed at Maiwand in Afgan-
stan. 1t would ertainly seem that they
might have taken detachment of the fam
Gus regiment from Liverpool to Halifax
without finding it necessary to construct a
guard room on board the steamer.
1t will be remembered that in close time
there was sudden drop in the price of
deer meat in Boston. caused by the fact
that the captain and crew of the schooner
Monticello closed out some ninety carcasses
at ten cents pound. They were shipped
from Maine to Boston parties. but of course
no bill Of lading was given, and it was
probably not supposed that the Maine ship
pers would venture to say anything. They
did. however. and the trial of the festive
Maine mariners will come of at Boston to-
day. Captain Mitchell was here Sunday,
and went to Boston yesterday. In CONVEX
| sation with Portland gentleman he said
that after the trial he and his crew propose
to come back to Maine, and to offer their
services to the wardens as wit nesse
against the men who shipped the caroasses.
If the whole truth is told about certain
transactions in unlawfully killed game, the
business did not pay those who managed
IL at the Maine end. Not only did they
loose ninety carcasses In one instance, but
Captain Mitchell limited that the ward ems
would be informed of another instance in
which one hundred carcasses were shipped.
sold in Boston and not accounted for. 1t
promises to be lively sort of case after
all.

| The poison seems to have gone through
his system, and he is unable to leave his

again.
| 1t is feared that the Jonesport schoone r
Helen Maria, may have been run down by
some passing steamer. She left Boston ten
days ago for this port, and has not been
heard from. 1t is possible that she may. have
run into some cove along the coast. but
grave fears are entertained that she will
never be heard from again. She is an old
schooner. dating back about forty years
and was built at Jonesport. where Captain
| Beals and his have families. 1t had
been the custom of Captain Beals to go from
| Jonesport to Boston, t Ike ON board part
of cargo, and then come here for the bal.
ance. Other captains are inclined to thi in k
that the theory that she got in the way OF
some passing steamer is the correct one.
