ISLESBORO.
A large crew, for the past month or more,
have been at work on the new Episcopal
Church, which is to be ready for dedication
early in July. 1t is 120 feet long -. The
new cottage of f. T. Bond of New York is
nearly completed. 1t is over 100 feet long,
with Gothic style of architecture, and many
gables. 1t is piped with hot and cold water
and the bath rooms are also piped with hot
and cold salt water, which is pumped from
the sea. The grounds are prettily laid
out. On the lot is small alder swamp,
which has been drained and some of the
bushes removed. The vacant places have
been planted with cedars, frs and spruces,
thus giving the foliage a variety of color
ing. Upon the whole area earth from the
highland has been hauled and spread very
evenly, and grassed over. Circular or
crooked driveways have been laid out among
the trees, and covered quite deeply with
gravel and white sand, brought from the
shore. This lot and cottage and a number
of others are not situated on the public
streets, but are entered by private roads
through forest. The new cottage of III.
j. Morse of New York, now nearly COM
pleted, stands on commanding eminence
overlooking the East bay. 1t is three stories
high, with many gables. On the east and
south is a walled terrace. Most of the wall
is some six or eight feet high, and earth has
been hauled in level with the top of the
walls. The area-which is on side hill
inclOseS a number of spruce trees, around
the trunks of which, and little distance
from them, stone walls have been built to
prevent the earth from coming in contact
with them, as the roots are several feet be-
low. The two circular driveways from the
street to the cottage have massive stone
walls on either side, and the four stone pill
lars at the entrance of the driveways are
each four feet in diameter, and two fe ct
higher than the walls. The terraces and
drivewayS, with the walls, cost several
thousand dollars. AS a rule the owners of
cottages leave most of their grounds in
their native wildness-rocks, Lodges and
scraggy trees-but on some lots are highly
ornamented areas on which have been plant
ed thousands of pieces of choice shubbery
