Sleeper to William H. Simpson bearing
date of Yreka, California, December IL.

of some photographs of the Unitarian
church, the American House, the New England

shall probably to the last day of my life carry
in my mind the appearance of those old build
ings, but more particularly that of the old
Unitarian church, and well do l remember, and
shall continue to do SO, the glorious times we
had in our boyhood days playing I-spy, pomp-
pomp- pullaway, ball, and other boyish games
and plays on the old common. I shall also con-
tinue to remember the climbing of the old
making the old bell peal forth its melodious
sounds, to the great annoyance of old John s
Kimbal and others living in the immediate

STEAMER NOTES. 1t is currently reported
that the turbine steamers Camden and Belfast
will begin running between Boston and Bangor
on Monday, June 18th. That will bring the
Belfast in here on her first trip Tuesday. June
18th. 1t is also reported that the boats will
leave Boston at 6p. M, instead of 5p m. There
is also talk of the shifting of division head
quarters from Rockland to Belfast. to accom-
modate those who wish to transfer for French
mans bay AS it is now passengers are called
at 4.30 a. M, as the James I. Morse, the trans
fer steamer, leaves Rockland at 6 o'clock
With Belfast as the transfer point they could
sleep until o'clock. This change would GER
tanly be appreciated by many of the summer
patrons of the line The report that the tur-
bines would stop only at Rockland, Belfast and
Winterport, leaving Camden, Northport, Sears
port and Bucksport to be served by transfer
steamers, is evidently unfounded as the CON-
pany is charging and improving the wharves
at Northport, Searsport and Winterport for
the accommodation of the turbines =. Steamer
Percy ", which has had her upper works re-
built, new engine instlled and other work
, done at this port, was inspected Monday.
Capt. Arey expects to go on his Penobscot
river route next Monday The Castine which
has been doing the work will then return to
this port and be offered for charter and the ex-
cursion business.
