\ STORMY WEEK. Sunday morning the a2d, rain
began to fall in this vicinity, and continued almost
without cessation until Saturday evening. 1t was
not until Sunday, when the shone forth and the
wind changed to the northwest, that the storm
could have been called ended. Rivers and streams
were greatly swollen, but we learn of no serious
damage in this vicinity. The rain fall was extreme
ly heavy, and must have caused some injury to
farmers who had seed planted in low ground
Grass, the great crop of Waldo county received
such boom that it is almost safe to say that the
harvest will be a large one. On Monday the sun
came out warm and pleasant and all nature seemed

FISH. T. w Collins, on Tuesday, had at his
market what passes for Il large lobster in these

ty-eight inches III length and weighed nine pounds
The lobster was perfect in all its parts not having
lost member The first shad of the season were
caught in weir between Belfast and Searsport Oh
Monday night. One of the fish weighed five pounds
Mr. Collins says this is very early for shad in our
waters. The catch of salmon in our BAYS and
rivers has been very light this season. The wealth
er has been very bad for the fish A few DAYS of
westerly winds would send the fish to the weirS
Mr. Collins says our harbor and river is full of ale
wives, and with small outlay excellent fishing
might be had at the head waters of our river.
