Somewhere along the line of the
Maine Ccutral is @ car loaded with
freight consigned to Augusta parties,
bIt just where the car is has not been
a>;certained. and it has been lost for TIL,
greater part of the week. The owners
Of the freight are not only concerned
about the loss Of it. but also because Of
tie fact that the freight is Of a perish
able nature which required shipment
in warm car. The car left Boston
last Tuesday and should have arrived
in Augusta on the following day, but
it did not come. and on inquiry being
made Of the parties who had goods
among the freight it was learned thar
tie car had been set of at Gardiner by
n istake, and would probably come
along the next day. 1t did not show
u, however. and the next information
rC ceived was that it had got mixed
in with q special freight and had gone
to Pittsficld. At that place. said the
owner of the goods, all trace of it was
lost, and while every station along the
liae had been telegraphcd, up to Sat
urday night not :; thing had been
heard and the whereabouts of the car
is as much of a mystery as if it had
been swallowed up by the earth.

tern Steamship Co, which was built
last spring and ran on the river be-
tween Gardiner and Augusta during the
season as 4 transfer boat. will be run
en- the Bath & Eoothbay route during
the coming season, for which service
she was given trial last fall after be-
ing taken off the regular route. 1t is
said that there are several reasons Why
she IS not adapted to that service. one
of them being that her great length
would render it very inconvenient for
her to land at the wharves of the vari-
Gus islands CT Bocthbay harbor, all of
which are short. and while she might
do fairly we'll in calm weather. boat
Of her type would be very difficult TO
handle in a sea, and especially at
Squirrel Island, where at such times
there is a heavy undertow. If the plans
of the Electric Road. which provide
for the building of an extension of the
Gardiner terminus to the steamboat
wharf are carried out. it is not expect
Cd that the boat will be run on the
