A CORRECTION. The Boston Herald re-
Gently published what purported to be
special from SearSpOrt in which was said !
that merchants were unable to get stock by
the usual water route and that the food sup |
Qly was SetLluS pIotty Slln. he latter |
statement is wide of the truth, as the Sears
port merchants never had a better stock on .
hand in the winter season and the supply is |
long way from being slim. Navigation !
has not been suspended, as the Boston |
steamers have made their landings here in |
regular order while on the route, and the !
golfers arriving and departing from the
Penobscot Coal & Wharf Company's dock |
at Mack'S Point have had no trouble what |
ever in docking on account of ice, as the |
harbOr has not been frozen over Sc hours at |
any time during the winter. The wind has !
come to our assistance every time strong |
enough to break it up, clear the harbOr and |
make navigation 0 K. The eight feet of |
snow spoken of has not been discovered by |
any one else in SearSport.

of the MendeSsohn wedding march, which |
was played by Miss Shute, the bride entered |
the room attended by Misses Lucy Sargent
and Jessie Black. The bride wore gown
of white messaline, deliberately trimmed |
with Valencienne lace, and carried shower
bouquet of white carnations. The best man
was Mr.. George Goodrich of Bangor. Only !
members of the immediate families and in
