STEAMER NOTES. The Boston & Bangor
Steamship Company will make large re-
duction in the fares between Bangor and all
liver landings and Boston, beginning about
October 10Th and continuing until the close
of navigation, at which time steamers will
be withdrawn from the route until the de-
parture of the ice next spring, when the reg
ular rates will be resumed. The fare from
Bangor to Boston, or vice versa,will be $3.50,
instead of $3.50, the present rate of fare, and
from other landings in the same proportion.
Prices for staterooms will be reduced to 81
and 81 so. Should the experiment result
satisfactorily and greatly increase the travel
at this season of the year, it will probably
be continued in the future. A severe
northeast gale ragged along the New Eng
land coast the first of the week and the
steamer City of Bangor which should have
left Boston Monday afternoon did not leave
until Wednesday afternoon. She is due
here this morning and will leave for Boston
this afternoon. The Penobscot, which left
here Monday for Boston, remained at Rock
land until Wednesday morning, and will
leave Boston at p M. to-day.
