Maine waters and the Times suggests
that perhaps they may again be made
to grow here. Some years ago Chas.
H. Burd, then of Boston and since
deceased, brought some oysters here
and planted them in Belfast bay, but
the experiment was not successful.
So far as we know there are no oysters
in Nova Scotia waters, unless it may
be in Cape Breton, but Prince Edward
Island produces small, coppery oyster,
which does not appeal to the tastes of
those accustomed to the luscious BIZ
valves of Chesapeake bay. We have
heard of one attempt to COLOMBO the
Virginia oysters in Bedford Basin, a
landlocked portion of Halifax harbor,
which ended as did the experiment
at Belfast. The cause of the decadence
of the Maine oyster, which took place
before our day, must be left to conjec-
ture. The disappearance of the wild
pigeon is within the memory of many,
and so far as we know is also unac-
counted for.

A severe cough has followed the pleuro

ingly without beneficial results.
Mr.. E. II. Doyle and Miss Blanche Berry,
Oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Willard NJ.
Berry, were united in marriage Feb. 9th, in
Belfast, by Rev. A. A. Smith. The happy
couple left by train for Caribou, the former
home of the groom, Fort Kent, etc, and for
short trip into Canada. The bride is one
of our popular young ladies and the groom
a comparatively new resident, coming here
during the building of the railroad and en-
gagged in its construction as an engineer
Since the completion of the road he has en-
gagged in the livery business with w. NJ
Berry and at present the two are associated
in the management OF the hotel as we'll.
The many friends of MIR. and Mrs. Doyle
extend best wishes for a long and prosper
GUS life voyage.
Mr.. Albert NJ. AmeS returned Feb. 9th
from Augusta, where he and II. H. Hichborn
had been to appear before the legislative
committee having charge of the bill to al
low the SearspOrt Water Company to buy
the Stockton Springs Water Co. with all its
rights: The Stockton Co., having no wish
to sell, expressed its objection to the pas
sage of the bill, lately introduced on the re-
quest of w. 7. HaineS Of Waterville, the
virtual head and manager of the SearspOrt
Water Co., through these two stock holders.
The Searsport Water Co. now pays $500 a,-
nually to the Stockton Springs Water Co. for
furnishing an abundant supply of fine wa
ter from Boyd's Pond, delivered at the town
line of SearspOrt at the western side of our
village. 1t seems much better to keep the
franchise within our own town, and should
the bill pass the legislature (there is being
much pressure brought to bear) it is to be
hoped no stakeholder will sell his bonds to
people outside the town.

An article in the Portland Sunday
Times on the question Of oyster grow
ing in Maine waters speaks of the
Providence river oysters. If we are
not mistaken these oysters are trans
plants from southern waters. What
may be called the native oysters are
small. They are planted at the mouth
of streams or estuaries where there is
more Or less fresh water and then rap
idly increase in size. The oysters taken
from the Gulf of Mexico near the
mouth of the Mississippi are so large
that they cannot be swallowed whole.
In years past the Cherrystone and Lyn-
haven Bay oysters were favorites in
the Baltimore and Washington mar
kets. They were salt water oysters and
derived their names from the localities
in which they were planted.
The Damariscotta shell heaps are ev-
idence that oysters once abounded in

The Portland Evening Express quotes
a very prominent public man. as say
ing:
THE public is with US for the most
part and for their benefit | wish to cor
rect an erroneous report that has been
circulated by our opponents or by UNI
authorized parties for the sake of in
juring our cause. Portland has not
given up the fight. On the contrary,
we are getting nearer the goal than
ever, The sentiment throughout the
State is with US.
81 believe that when the legislators
and the committee fully realize that
Portland is to make the State a gift Of
$500 900 on condition the capital is
brought here they will hardly think
they can afford to throw away such a
good proposition
Five hundred thousand dollars looks
large on paper, but we have heard a
Portland man quoted as saying that to
secure a suitable location for the
State House in that city would require
fully that amount. Then State House
would have to be built at the expense
of tie tax payers of the State, and the
present building in Augusta could not
be duplicated in Portland today for less
than two million dollars. Three mil
lion dollars would be very conserva-
tive estimate for such building as is
needed, and we doubt if the people of
Maine are ready TO 60 in debt to that
amount to locate the capital in one end
of the State.

An anti-gambling bill favorably re-
ported to the House of the Alabama
Legislature is probably the most drastic
ever introduced in any Legislature and
aims directly at the card parties which
are a feature of social life. The bill
mentions bridge, euchre and other
games, and makes it Jail offense, with
out alternative of fine, for any woman
TO allow these games to be played in
her home for prizes of value. Probably
1900 protests against the bill have been
received, and some of them were pep
perry. One of the protestants said that
she was ashamed to know that she lived
in the same State with such ii ''hayseed
Legislature" Despite protests, it is be-
lieved the bill will pass.

After last Thursdays testimony in
the Thaw trial a verdict of acquittai
would seem to be in order. Thaw, the
defendant, has been pictured as a moral
degenerate, but he now appears, in con-
trast with the man he killed, as day
light to darkness. White paid the pen
atty of a career of debauchery unspeak-
able, and that might have continued but
for the avenging bullet from Thaw's
pistol The Brooklyn Daily Eagle in
giving reasons for the publication of a
full report of this trial says:
There is much in it to show that the
way of the transgresSor is hand; that
She wages of sin is death: that the prim-
rose path of dalliance lures those whose
feet tread the wrong road, and that the
illusions which have been thrown
around careers of self-indulgence and
flagrant immortality are torn asunder,
with awful results, when the laws of the
land and the laws of God combine to
rend the veil and set forth the gnawing
truth.

white horse that was suitable could
be got. At last, the London Globe
tells the story, a stage hand advised

Sir Henry visited the owner, in

the animal was not fractions.

you: an excellent horse in every

was that he would occasionally
