We learn that certain individual who resdes
in Manchester, intends to do large business the
present spring, netting fish in Cobbosseecontee
pond We understand that he has got one net
which is three hundred feet long and sixty mesh
es deep, and two others which are smaller. Can
there be no stop put to this ruthless destruction
of fish during the spawning season. Every
spring this same man has set his nets 10 the pond
defiance Of the law. He steals off IN the night
time, sets his nets, gets large haul of fish, and
takes them up in the morning before people
are up. We know that several years ago it was
seven to ten bushels Of white perch, which he
peddled through the cities of llallowell and Au-
gusta. For several years past it has been almost
impossible to catch decent haul of fish in the
pond with hook and line, and it is all owing to
the immense quantities Of fish destI Dyed by this
man. We know that the laws are very stringent
against catching, netting spesring white perch,
black bass or Oswego bass during the spawning
season, and it would please the people of Man
chester and also of neighborng towns, if this fell
low could be stopped in his depredatlons on the
fish OF Cobbosseecontee pond.
The ice in the pond has nearly disappeared, and
day more viii suffice to leave the pond free
from It's annual winter covering.
