A body of water said to cover an area
of two acres or more, has Just been dis
covered on the tip top of one Of the noun
tains in Flatenbury, Vt Some of the old
est inhabitants say that many years ago it
was known to be there and was called the
'Lost Pond" and that one day Stephen
Pratt, Esq, then Of Bennington, in COM
pany with two other gentlemen, were
roaming about in the then seemingly inter
minable forests trapping. Happening to
have some hooks and lines in their pockets,
they determined to see if there wasn't
some trout in the small brook which they
came across. After getting everything in
readiness they threw their hooks into the
little brook, and to their amazement, as
they afterward expressed it themselves :
sit was filled with troutn They fished
along up the stream few rods, and to
their utter astonishment, came to the pond
above mentioned. There, they said, the
trout ''took hold too fast for sport!" They
caught more than they could bring home
through the woods, and were consequent
ly obliged to leave some, but with de-
termination that they would visit the pond
the next day. After a long travel they fl
nally reached the road to town where they
had left their team, but greatly fatigued.
They travelled all the next dav, but could
not find the pond, and it has not been dis
covered until now
