A remarkable find has recently been
made in Passamaquoddy bay, near
Eastport-in the shape Of a sponge,
something never before taken from the
ocean in that vicinity The sponge is
10 1-2 inches tall, s inches across the
top and IL inches deep inside its
goblet" shape. 1t was caught on a
fisher mans trawl and came up firmly
growing on flinty rock about inches
tall. 1t Is a remarkably handsome
specimen of a sponge and as unusual
as it is handsome.

facts concerning the difference in
prices of food stuffs in that country

Talk about the suffering and pri-
walton in France from the lack Of food!
Why, I bought potatoes over there in
stocking ship for the return trip for
IS barrel where I had to pay $11
here. And beef, bought for s cents
a pound, where they hold me up for
IS and II cents here. 1t costs me

netted the largest togue that has been

Former Mayor Frederic E. Boothby
of Wateryiile tells the following interest
ing story of how Gen. Joseph S. Smith
of Bangor, now governor Of the National
Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va, won
the Congressional medal Of honor:
Smith, as is well known. was connected
with the Commissiory Department, but at
the Battle of Gettysburg, not being con-
tent to remain at his quarters, went out
upon the field and seeing two cannon
abandoned by the Union army, he on the
impulse of the moment, went to Col Llm-
70 A. Smith. and said to him: Gen.
Meade wants you to let me have Com
pany of your Regiment to go out and
bring in those cannon Col Zimro
Smith, not in the least doubling the or
der, acceded to his request, but in the at
tempt the rebels recognizing what was
being done shelled the locality so severely
that it had to be given up. little later
on, however, Gen. Jos. S. Smith thought
he saw another chance, so he went and
asked for two companies. which were
readily given him. and then the Union
army seeing what was being done assist
ed with their artillery so that this time
the effort was crowned by success. Hence,
such bravery on the field merited Con-
gressional medal of homer
This is as Gen. Chamberlain has told
the story to me, and I believe Gen.
Meade sent for him after the battle was
over and commended his action
