 Remaquid lighthouse is at Remaquid Point and Is on the ocean. and there is nothing for thousands of miles to break the force of the winds and waves. It is a stern and rock-bound coast and it is a fine sight to see the waves beat against it's shores. This lighthouse is erected about a mile to the east from where the point extends farthest into the sea, on a bluff 50 oI more feet high, but with 8 terrace ex- tending two or three times as far as that to the water.
 This is a favorite place for viewing the waves beating with fury on the rocks, sometimes throwing the spray into the windows of the lighthouse.
 For two or three miles the bluff con- tinues, some of the way higher than at the lighthouse, sometimes almost perpendicular; but most of the way in terraces, sloping two or three times this distance to the water.
 One of these is called the Amphi- theatre, and there is a profile in the rocks of mans face. There are many similar to this anphitheatre but not as large.
 The rocks are in layers of different
 
 of several colors; some flat. some per- pendicular, and at different angles, and standing at the bottom of the cove you can see thousands of different layers in various shades of color and many of the rocks sparkling in the sunshine as though filled with small pieces of silver It looks as though some mighty cOnVu1Sion of nature must have thrown these rocks as they are.
 A wharf was built, bolted with iron rods to the rocks, but the storms of winter swept it away, and now there is a floating raft anchored on which small boats land.
 Much of the land is covered with forests and groves, principally spruce and roads have been. made along the shore and through the woods.
 There are two hotels, one with about 130 boarders. and about 50 cottages have been erected, mostly in the woods along the shore next the bluffs and in the woods back of cleared land on the point extending farther into the ocean
 There is always a cool breeze on the Warmest days, and a kindly people Many visitors from other states come year after year. They get back to na- ture here. There are no lawn mowers and they have the woods and green grass and wild flowers and the rest they seek and need.
 There Is good fishing for those who wish to stand on the rocks when the water is smooth. saw a rock cod caught yesterday that was a bright red color.

taxation each year one twenty-fifth
of the principal and one twenty-fifth

annual levy for the sinking fund,
which will represent one twenty-fifth
of the principal, will be $4,000, and
the amount TO be raised by taxation

the interest thus derived will be used
to cut down the interest on the entire
amount, which should reduce the in

half OF the interest to be paid on the

COURT HOUSE COST sec ON $1,000

The proposed s15O.O0O court house

the cost per annum to each taxpayer

County Clerk McCreary states that
at the present valuation OF the county,
the proposed court house would make
an addition to each mans taxes Of
nine and six-tenths cents per hundred
dollars valuation. For example, a man
pays taxes on property assessed at
one thousand dollars and the new
court house and jail would cost him
ninety-six cents per year, no more,
and that amount would decrease every
year as the assessed valuation OF the
county is increased.
