NORTH DORSET.
One day last week Mr.. WELDON Allen
OF this place, captured one of the larges
and handsomest trout that we have evel
seen caught from the head waters of tie
Otter Creek. He was a beauty to behold
and weighed two pounds and three quar-
tiers. Daniel Curtis, whose ancestors
were among the FIRST settlers OF this tow
aud who was living hero himself wher
Washington lived at Mount Vernon, uset
TO fish in this stream In those days an(
caught trout OF still greater dimensions
But since bis early life we have nor
known of any being caught in this vicini
ty that would beat the one here referred
to. Mr.. Allen says that if any one ha
beaten him to let him know it and b,
will try again. The trout was carried Il
North Bennington by j. Halloran express
messenger and disposed Of to some frient
Of his.
