The supper and dance at Memorial Hal
last Thursday evening, under the auspices
of the Belfast Improvement Society, were
successful and netted a good sum to the
society's treasury. The tables were very
prettily spread and the supper was nicely
prepared and served. The dance, with
music by the Bohemian Club, was well at
tended and very enjoyable.

The committee of the Board of Aldermen
to whom was referred the matter of chang
ing the telephone wires in front of Mrs.
Mary L. Pattersons house on Union street,
reported Saturday. They were given full
power by the Municipal officers at the regu-
lar meeting, and decided that the pole
should be moved southwark II feet, which
will take it beyond Mrs. Patterson's trees,
and that the wires be enclosed in single
cable instead of running separately as at
present. The decision is satisfactory to
both parties

contract with the publishers of the New
York Tribune expires Dec 7, 1901, and
after that date we shall be unable to furnish
the weekly free to those who pay one year

and their families. To those who pay one
years subscription to The Journal in ad-

Tribune Farmer for one year free. After
that date the clubbing price of the two
papers will be 50. %. Further particulars in

The schooner D. P. of Machias, built in
Belfast by David Pierce in 1849, had an I'M
usually hard passage from Diligent River,
N. S., for Boston recently. She had hardly
started on her voyage when she capsized.
She was righted without much trouble, but
was obliged to put into Cutler for repairs.
After getting to sea she sprung aleak and
put into Machias for calking. She arrived
at Portland leaking badly and during the
blow Sunday dragged ashore on Peaks Is
lond. She was got off and recalked at
Portland, from which point her captain
hoped to finish the trip without further
mishap.
