.HRIsTMAs SHOPPING. Last Friday
leaatiful day and the steamer Anna Belle
ought goodly number of visitors and Christ
rss shoppers from across the bay. 1t began
am at night, and rained heavily and con-
.ruously until about 10 a. m. Saturday when
ia sun came out and shone brightly on the
muddy streets and slippery walks. 1t was
=,-arsion day over the railroad, but the rainy
-,-aing no doubt deferred many from COM
r- as well by team, but enough came to
- the stores busy. Every dealer we have
viewed reports larger sales than last
stmas, and we believe there were more
sted shoppers than ever before.
Hessrs. R. F. and John R. Dunton, who
hit the j. Y. McClintook house and brick
KS on High and Spring streets, have had
ra # the tenements in the block on Spring
-.t remodeled and renovated. The two
weddings have been made into three apart
merits one each floor, each one having
s.h. steam heat and hot and cold water.
wood floors have been laid, necessary re-
rs made and the interior painted and paper
ss Tt is said that two of the suites have al
rsaly been rented. If there is a demand for
such apartments the Messrs. Dunton will re-
n.del other tenements on Spring and High

on n L
r. is he subject of the first lecture in the Bel
..-r course, given Wednesday night, Dec. goth,
Memorial Hall by c. C. Mitchell of Rhode
and. We do not recall lecture delivered
which has elected so much comment or
any diverse opinions as this one. That is
r--tty good evidence that the lecturer said
ething, and that he set his hearers to
aEug. Those who were pleased with the
e. re were very enthusiastic, and those who
not like it were no less decided in their
-Ns. One man said it was not lecture, but
-.-uon that might well have been delivered
the pulpit on a Sunday morning. An
said that the ash heap was too big. The
IRE. although dealing mainly with the char
err and tribulations Of Job, was along the
Of the PHILOSOPHERS Of life, was enlivened
touches Of humor and in the serious vein
.- delivered with dramatic force. 1t was
sr.a.-s On original lecture and out of the
lt platform addresses.

STEAMER NOTES The Eastern Steamship
E mas made the usual changes In the running
a. their steamers at this time. The Belfast is
III the Boston and Bangor run, and the Cam
den has taken the place of the Bay State on
the route between Portland and Boston. The
gyVernor Dingley is on the Boston and St.
John route in place of the Ransom B. Fuller
and the Governor Cobb has gone south to run
5et@een Knights Key and Havana, as she did
-st winter, and will probably stay in the
-'qtH until the last of March or middle of
aPrli.... The steamer Belfast after landing
her passengers and discharging freight at
h3ngor Wednesday afternoon, Dec. Goth, took
what freight there was to go and left for
"lnterport to tie up for the night to avoid the
RISK OF being frozen in at Bangor. She left
hleksport Thursday noon for Boston on arrival
the II a. m. train from Bangor . Steamer
-foyn of the Bel Steamship company is now
the route between Stockton and New York,
ing alternately with the steamer Milnock-
