decreed liable for the amount S150.....
The Silver Star returned to the Belfast

thoroughly overhauled and repaired, both in
hull and machinery. The fremont, which
has been running in her place, was adver-
tsed for a base ball excursion to Bangor

count OF the storm. Capt. Henry W. Bar
bour of Brewer, who has been the COM
man der of the steamer fremont for the past
two seasons, has taken the command of the

moggin Reach ought to bring trade to Bel

sons and when the season opens satisfac-
tory arrangements will be made as to fares.
