The WEATHER. On Lewis wharf the
other day group of men were shivering
and growing at the weather, when gentle
man came along and hearing the remarks
said that this spring is no colder and no
more backward than last spring AS to
that the writer cannot say, having no dis
tinct recollection of the temperatures in
past seasons. 1t is recalled, however, that
on arriving here from Washington d. c.,
May Is, 1875, there were quite deep snow
drifts on the sides of Northport ave., and as
deep mud in the road. The cold and wet
continued that season into June
| A REMINDER. We have again to ask
those having items or other matter for pub
LEGATION in The Journal to be prompt. Do
not wait until Wednesday, the day The
Journal goes to press. Not unfrequently
we receive contributions Thursday that
were intended for that weeks paper, al
ready printed and distributed, and which
might have been sent in days and some
times weeks earlier. We should have to
double our present force of compositors to
handle all the matter held over until We'd
nesday, and that would be impossible; and
if possible, Improbable. If you have any
| thing for publication send it in at once
| The earlier it is received the better.

a coal barge recalls an incident of which
mention has before been made in these
columns, perhaps more than once, which

steamer one summer morning two or three
big coal carrying schooners were met,
bound out, light. They were high out Of
water, wall sided and their many masts
and fore and aft sails seemed entirely out
of proportion to the immense black hulls.
A little later the ship f. B. Sutton Was seen,
bound in, in tow. She was arriving from
foreign voyage. and everything was spick
and span-SparS scraped and slushed,
paint glistening, yards squared and rigging
all ataunto. Under sail she would have
shown to greater advantage, but as it was
she presented marine picture that will
linger long in memory. 1t is saddening to
think that she will end her days robbed of
her graceful spars and dragged along the
coast at the end of steel hawSer.
| SHIPPING ITEMS. The newest of the
| famous Palmer fleet of schoopers is the
Fannie Palmer, launched from the yard
of Percy & Small in Bath last Saturday.

that with is counties in Maine their names
should not appear on more vessels of our

pairs made.
