Boston, Nov. 10. Local shipping brokers
report the sail tonnage market is rather
dull at present, with rates somewhat lower,
particularly for coal. There has been con-
siderable inquiry from the various foreign
and coastwise trades, but vessels generally
are held in reserve, owners in most in
stances anticipating improved rates as the
season progresses, This is noticed in West
Indian freights, and also in coastwise lumber
and coal departments Recent charters in
clude the schooner Harry knowlton from
this port to Gold coast, Africa, and back,
With general cargo on private terms.

AS an Illustration of the high freightS now
prevailing at Eastern ports, the schooner
Samos, Captain Wood, which finished dis
charging coal at Bangor Nov. 18th. refused
an offer to take a cargo of lumber from there
for New York at $3.50 per thousand, prefer
ring to go to Mt. Waldo to load granite
Several SchOOners have been dispatched to
Bangor to load lumber, having been attract
ed by the high freights, to take cargoes there
, before the river closes.
! Sch. LEONoRA GIVEN UP. The schooner
i Leonora of Bucksport has been given up.
She sailed from Boston Oct. 10th with gen
eral cargo for PenobscOt bay and river
ports and is thought to have foundered in the
gale of Oct. 18th. The cargo of the vessel
consisted of 175 hogsheads of salt for
Buckssport; 10000 feet of lumber and five
barrels of kerosene oil for Belfast; 100 bar
rels of flour for Winterport, and merchan-
disc for lsleSboro. The Belfast conSigneeS
were j. c.. Durham and Mayo, White 4
Carter, and they were uninsured. Sch.
Leonora was reported as sailing from Salem
Nov. 10th for Bangor, and later a schooner
of that name was reported at Portland, but
there must have been an error in the name,or
it was some other Leonora The missing YES

:, was so tons. She was owned and sailed by
Capt Frank Saunders of Bucksport, and
son of the late Woodbury. Saunders, one of
the best known captains on the Penobscot.
Capt. Saunders was about u years old and
leaves a wife, who was formerly Miss Kate
Sawyer. The schooner carried, beside the
captain, the cook, a sailor and one boy The

Ma1eriur Places.

There is need of concerted action or
State law providing suitable water
ing places for horses along the much
travelled roads. In the olden times the
roadmakerS, when the road crossed a
fbrook or ran along the edge of Il pond,
left places where one could drive in to
water the horse, and perhaps swell the
felloes of the wheels if the tires were
loose. but now the brooks are bridged
over to the width of the road, and the
ponds fenced at the roadside to keep
animals out, because the water supply
for some town or village is taken from
it, and it must be kept pure. This is
all right when the town has provided
public watering places where man and
beast can quench their thirst, but
when economy prevails to such an eX-
tent that these are not put up, and one
may drive on much travelled road for
ten or fifteen miles without a chance
for the horse to wash the dust out of
his mouth, it is time that provision
were made. even IL we returned to the
village pump and watering trough.
They were very well where no brooks
were available, but the pump some
times would not work well, and some
times the driver would not work the
pump handle, and the poor horse got
lukewarm and filthy water. or none at
all. unless the driver wanted drink
himself-American Cultivat0r
