The land-locked salmon fishing has again
commenced at Grand Lake. The c,ose time
expired March LIST, when large crowds gathered
at the dam and caught the racers pretty plent-
fully for few days. They are now all fished
ont and not many more will be caught until the
booms come down The salmon taken now are
worthless, and without new restrictions, in
Guiding particularly an extension of the close
time, the extinction of the fish in these waters
is question of only few years.

Saccarappa Savings, Bank

A correspondent of the Sunday Times takes
occasion to say that ''the Saoca.appa Savings
Bank is closing up its business, having failed
to make it remunerative to depositors.'' This
is not the fact; the bank has been able from the
outset to pay its depositors the highest rates of
interest permitted by law, and now closes M
its affairs for reasons in which the general pub
lie has no concern except to know that thew are
quite the reverse of those stated BY the Times
and copied in the morning papers

The PICTURE SALE-To-day Schumacher
offers at auction sale at f. o. Bailey's rooms a
large collection of engraviDgs, chromos and
Autographs, all framed and ready for hanging.
In the collection are many good engravings
and Autographs and some fine French and
German chromos. The rooms were thrown
open to the public yesterday and many people
awaited themselves of the opportunity to see
the pictures-as many doubtless will TODAY
avail themselves of the opportunity to buy
them. A good engraving is a far wiser n,r.
chase than one of the buckeye" pictures with
which the market is now flooded.

weather-beaten one-story house, on its easterly
side, about half mile beyond the turn-off to
Portland Head light-but they will see it 10
more. as it has recently been demolished. Its
diminutive windows, low caves, and steep
roof, with it's dilapidated chimney and doors,
indicated it as relic of bygone age, and SO
it was. 1t was built by Mr. Barzillai Delano,
grandfather of Mr. James Dalano, the present
proprietor of the farm on which it stood, about
one hundred years ago, then taking the place
of still more Anticipated structure which was
built by Thomas Delano, his great grandfather,
more than a century and half ago, but cot
precisely on the same spot.
The Deano family we've among the earliest
settlers of the DISTRICT and hundred and
twenty years ago or thereabouts, were in pos
session of all the land from Cape Cottage to
Pond Cove, and extending back from the coast
f half mile CT more. They were always es-
| teemed as reliable, square dealing, honest peo-
pie. Some of the earlier members figured
prominently in the old Indian wars-especially
was Thomas who was man of herculeap
! strength, noted in this particular. He was a
blacksmith, as well as fighting man; and one
i day during the hostile times, " bile working at
his forge, he was surprised by party of In
dams, who had come up from the shore, who
l left him in charge of two of their number to be
l conducted down to their canoes. AS soon as
the main body of bis captors were out of sight,
he, watching his opportunity, suddenly drew
| back, and dashed the heads of his two guards
together with such force as to kill them on the
spot; and he found no difficulty ia escaping.
As further illustration of his great physical
/ power, it may be mentioned that on another
occasion, on a wager, be threw two fifty.six
pound weights over his shop. In the attic of
the house which has just been demolished, was
found az account book, kept in the English
style of currency, dating back to 1875. The
writing is perfectly legible, but in many cases
the spelling indicated diff srent style of ortho-
| graphy from that now in use. A frequent
charge is for gals rome. Other charges are for
tornops, curne, charck-colP. cabbig-heeds, bush.
