Judge A. D. Krebs is the right man in

Harbor Master James McFaul takes
this method Of notifying the masters Of
the smaller draft schooners entering the
Pascagouia river not to anchor in the
channel, rs It obstructs navigation, for
cling vessels loaded with lumber to devil
ate from the channel, and in instances to
run aground. Masters should guide
themselves accordingly, and thereby
avoid any future complaint

been appointed deputy collector Of cus-
toms for the Pearl River District with

mated by Hon. John p. Wslworth and
appointed by the secretary Of the treas
ury. Mr.. Thos. A. Cleary stepped down
and out on the first and MI. Moselcy
assumed the duties Of the office. As we
have remarked before the pathway Of
the ~oficeholder are full Of thorns aud
uncertainties.
"Write-ups" Of towns by strangers
and printed In papers not local, in our
opinion, do very little good to the town
thus written up OF Its people. II the
town authorities and managers Of its
local institutions should desire more
publicity, then the "write-up" should be
printed In the local paper, which would
do more good in bringing the town and
It's interests into notice.
