tight as cup, SO that Capt Candage is spared
the labor of working the pump. y. Among the

by the freshet had set adrift in the Penobscot
river million feet of logs and the steamer
Camden on the Thursday morning trip up river
went 10 farther than Bucksport, the Bangor
passengers going from there by rail. The west
bound and down-river passengers went from
Bangor to Bucksport on steamer Rockland Fri
days the teamer Belfast went up river as far as
Winterport, the steamerJuliet carrying the pas
sengers and freight each way between Winter
port and Bangor, and the same arrangement
was followed Saturday. Monday the boat left
from Bangor as usual. The increase of the
passenger business of the Eastern Steamship
Company between Boston and Maine ports has
been so great this season that the steamers
Ransom B. Fuller and Bay State are to be re-
built and enlarged to admit of the addition of
many staterooms. Work on the Bay State
will begin as soon as possible, to have the
steamer ready for service next spring. The
