Ship building.
--The unsettled state of the times will check ship building, though there are a goodly number of new vessels on the stocks.
The Bangor Union says ship carpenters in Maine, who last winter received $2,50 a day, are now working for less than $1. At East Boston, where there is a considerable amount of new tonnage in process of construction, the Journal states that carpenters' wages range from $1,50 to $1,75 per day. There are six new ships on the stocks there, from 700 to 1200 tons, besides five in dock and lying at the wharves fitting for sea.

Romance of a Death-Bed.
--In East Boston, recently, a dying maiden of twenty was married to her betrothed.
Before her dissolution she said that she had only one earthly wish ungratified — she desired to be united to him who had loved her so long and truly, and the hope of being his in Heaven.
He could deny her nothing — he married death!
Bolstered up by pillows, and supported in the embrace of her mother, she was united to her lover.
Her feeble voice was hardly audible in responding to the questions of the marriage ceremony.
She was his, and said she would die without regret.
From then until she passed away, she was unable to speak above a whispe

Destructive Conflagrations in Boston.
--We have already given an account of a very destructive fire in Boston on the 4th.
It appears from the papers in that city that there were two.
The one at East Boston reaches a loss of three-fourths of a million of dollars.--A large number of families have been thrown out of employment, and not a few lost all their worldly possessions.
The other fire was in Albany and Hudson streets. At the first named fire sixty houses, eight vessels, two factories, a machine shop, a foundry and a sectional dock were consumed.
The property, however, was largely insured.
By the fire on Albany street twenty buildings were either consumed or greatly damaged.
During the 4th there were no less than fourteen fires in Boston and the surrounding towns, involving a loss of nearly $1,000,000, most all of them caused by shooting crackers.
