/ The auxiliary sloop Cleopatra was in port
again last week with fresh Goldfish. Her fare
included one fish estimated to weigh between
40 and so pounds. 1t was better proportional
| fish than the cod of that size usually seen here
and Capt. Henry Gilman said it was Georges
cod, although it was caught off Isle au Haut.
In dressing it handful of stones was found in
the stomach and Capt. Gilman said-and was
corroborated by other fishermen that before
going from one bank to another the fish take
in ballast! We did not think to enquire if
when they arrive at their destination they dis
charge ballast.
A RHuBARB PIE IN FEBRUARY. Native fresh
rhubarb in February, with the thermometer
lowering around the zero mark, and making
frequent excursions below it, and the snow
drifts piled outside the doors! Impossible you
say? The Journal wishes to differ. On Satur-
day Mrs. Orinca Bean of East Belfast brought
to The journal Office a generous handful of
pink tinted stalks, which she grew in the house
in a week. The coloring of the stalks and the
| small curly leaves indicated that treat was in
store for the recipients, and they were not dis
appointed for it was as tender and as delicately
favored as any epicure could wish. Mrs. Bean
has successfully tried this and other unusual
horticultural experiments in times past. Last
year she brought to The Journal office the first
bunch of apple blossoms, which were brought
out in the house in the winter.
STEAMER NOTES. Before the turbine steam
ers Belfast and Camden come on the Boston
aud Bangor route the wharves at the bay and
river ports will undergo extensive repairs and
be otherwise improved. The wharf at Sears
port as before mentioned, will be extended 200
feet Last week the Eastern Steamship Com
pany secured a lease for 20 years of the wharf
at Northport campground, and will build an ex-
tension of 100 feet with frontage of l25 feet.
The Winterport wharf may be built farther
out into the river and enlarged. At this port
it is said an extension will be built south of
the present wharf and when completed the
stand on piling which is becoming insecure
Work will probably begin all along the line
about the first of March, and will call for an
expenditure of $4,000 to $4,000
