sEARsPORT's BARKs AND BRICs.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: The lists
of Searsport barks and brigs as published in
the latest editions of The Journal make inter-
esting reading to former residents of the town,
who remember many of them from their launch
ings. The correspondent may have rendered
all the names of vessels of the rig from copies
of the record; but in brushing away the dust
and cobwebs of the past our memory is bright
ened up little ar d prompts us to inquire
about the barks E. Churchill and Solomon Pi-
per. Surely these were vessels with history.
The former was at one time commanded by
Capt. VIM. McGilvery and made several voy-
ages to Ireland carrying provisions to the
starving people during the period of the fam
inc there. The latter made a voyage to San
Francisco commanded by Capt. Libbeus Curtis,
who sailed her through the Straits of Magellan
without even a chart, and returned by the
same route, feat of seamanship that is the
wonder of master mariners at this late day.
In the list of brigs we do not see the names of
the brigs Isola, L. T. Knight James Bliss, Hud-
son, Mungo Park and St. Cloud, some of which
we remember as built in Searsport. We are
willing to forgive the correspondent If he has
made an error of omission, and it we are in
error as to any other we trust he will be as
generous with u.s. We are now waiting for the
ships. E. B. B.

REV. A. A. SMITHS RESIGNATION.

From his pulpit in the Universalist church
last Sunday morning Rev. A. A. Smith read his
resignation as pastor, as follows:
To the members of the First Universalist
Church and Parish, Belfast, Maine
More than twelve swift and memorable years
have passed since you honored me by placing
in my keeping the interests of this parish and
the pulpit of this church.
Desiring now to return to you this honorable
commission and sacred trust, I hereby resign
the pastorate of this church, requesting that
this resignation take effect the fifth day OF
March next.
l need hardly say after SO long pastorate
service, that l have highly esteemed the honor
of standing in this pulpit, as preacher of the
Masters gospel of glad tidings, and as an ex-
ponent and interprl ter of His Universal and
inclusive Message, who said: "And if | be lift
ed up from the earth will draw all men unto
me- With frankness and fidelity l have en-
deavored to proclaim the truth as have seen
and felt it and have ever found in you kindly
consideration and generous regard
To this brave and loyal company of earnest
fellow-workers who have given of their means
and service for the upbuilding and mainten-
ance of this church and its activities, return
nv heartfelt thanks. l have been proud to be
your minister and leader: with my deficiencies
you have been patient and tolerant, and today
it is source of true satisfaction that in the
same spirit OF harmony With which We have
been privileged to live and labor, we can now
sever the outward and formal bonds with our
mutual respect untarnshed by the years and
our mutual affection undiminished by our tolls,
cur trials, or our triumphs.
am sure that you will help me by regard
ing this letter as a final expression of my
decision.
With cherished memories that will last as
long as life itself, and with best wishes that
YOU may soon choose my successor in this
pastorate, remain fraternally,
ASHLEY A. SMITH, Pastor.

An Investor In Nutriola Would Like to
Know the Whereabouts of E. F. Hanson.
Ever since the Nutriola company was put
out of business in Chicago by the Post Office
Department for using the mails to defraud the
public, letters of enquiry from the unfortunate
investors have been coming to Belfast, Here
is one recently received:
l write to ask if you can furnish me with
any information of the present whereabouts of
MI. E. F. Hanson, President of the Nutriola
company. In 1906 l took stock in that COM
pany. He was going to do great things, but
the government got him. Then he wrote me
that ne was to have holding company in
London, England. In January, 1907, he asked
Tor the forwarding to him of the American
certihcates to be exchanged for the English
holding company certificates, which would be
sent to US myself and three others) in about
Two months. l, (or my friends) have heard
no word from him or his since. He got our $40
for the seventy shares of stock under false
pretences yet the whole of Maine, from
Mayors down, endorsed him as an honest man.
AS secretary OF the holding company he sent
me the address of Mr.. Norman A. Lees, 9l5
Oxford street, London, England. year later
l sent a registered letter-no answer, These
are the other addresses he sent me: Hon. R. H,
Moody, Belfast Me-; Mr.. M. w. Lord, Hay-
ford's Block, Belfast, Me-; w. D. Gardner, Bel
last. Me. l wrote to each and every one of
these at different times, but got no reply Last
May wrote our American Consul at London,
England. The reply was that after making
enquiries through the usual channels they
could find out nothing about Norman A. Lees
or the company. For reasons you will greatly
oblige if you can give me any definite informa-
tion.
