! UNPRoF1rABLE STEALING The burglars
still continue their work in this county, but
so far as known they get but very little
| plumber. They take nothing but money
probably fearing detection if they are found
! with anything on them that can be identi-
| fed. Last Saturday night they entered the
store Of Chas. II. Gatchel of East Jackson
and found 10 cents in the money drawer
Their mode of proceeding was the same as
at Brooks, as described in The journal last
week.

| SHIPPING ITEMS. The daily papers re-
ported sch Helen g. Moseley as sailing
from Bath Nov. 1st for New York and in
the same column arriving at Jacksonville
| Oct 31st from New Y ork. The latter report
was correct This is not an uncommon thing
and still more common is the incorrect re-
port of masters names Probably few read
ers of The Journal appreciate the amount of
work in its shipping news department,
which is as full and accurate as we are able
to make it,. Sch. Emma S. Briggs arrived
from Boston last Thursday and sailed Sat-
urday for Frankfort to load stone for New
York. Sch. Emma W. Day arrived Satur-
day and Fannie & Edith Sunday from Bos-
ton with general cargo. .. Sch. Elliot F.
| Dow arrived Saturday from Hoboken with
coal for the F. G. White Co.. Sch Fairy
! Forest filled while lying at the wharf sat-
urday night and her salt and other stores
were considerably damaged. Sch Char
| lotte l.. Morgan arrived from Boston Tues
day morning with leatherboard stock for
Sherman & Co. and groceries for CHM &
| Field. E. Schs. Mary Ann Mccain and Abra-
raham Richardson, both from coal ports and
! deeply laden, arrived at Bangor Monday
night, with stories of narrow escape from
disaster. At tive O'Clock Sunday morning,
in thick fog, the Abraham Richardson,
Captain Nickerson, went ashore on Briga-
dier's island off Searsport, and stuck hard
and fast. 1t was nearly high water at the
| time, and without early assistance the
| schooner was in danger of strainng badly,
perhaps of going to pieces. She was got off
Sunday afternoon by the tug Ralph Ross,
and although leaking $50 strokes an hour
is not thought to be much damaged. Capt.
Gates of the Mary Ann Mccain reports that
/ on Saturday night last, when off Monhegan
he was run into during a thick fog by
large and unknown three-masted schooner,
stone laden from the eastward. The Nc
Cam lost the end of her jibboom and all
head gear attached, and her starboard cat
head was carried away. The three-master
was not, apparently, much damaged, and
she stood away without stopping to make
any inquiries. Had the Mccain been struck
a few feet further aft, she would undoubted-
ly have been cut down to the waters edge,
and with her heavy cargo would have
gone to the bottom like a shot. =. The steam
collier Reading, Pa, went ashore last Fri
day morning at Crocketts Point three miles
