BUCKSPORT.
The dredge Freeport completed her work
in the harbor last week, having removed
from the middle-ground about 100000 yards
Of dirt, leaving uniform depth of water of
16 feet, which is sufficient for all crafts that
pass up and down the river The Freeport
is now engaged in similar work at Vinal-
haven. The Importance and amount of
business done on the Rural Free Delivery
route by driver Eugene Barnes on the
route to Stockton Springs may be estimated
from the fact that du.ing the first quarter,
ending June 80, Mr.. Barnes delivered 10, $50
pieces of mail. The people will never will

think the writer of it ''did not know where

don't want her to have an overplus. Our
almanac says that Frank Douglass was
born in Unity; also that the "brace of
bows said to be his sons are his brothers.
If sscourt reports show that he taught them
the artistic methods of stealing a chicken
and the proper method of opening a safe, -
perhaps he could also teach our prison Of
tcals the proper way to guard their prison
ers. We country folks think that instead
of having the large telescope mounted
Deputy Wyman and Guard Peabody had
better sing:

In the striped trous ers that you wore,
Well make you so welcome, Douglass, Doug
