to read 10 your issue Of to day letter under
date Of June 4th, to the Postmaster General,
from one Thomas J. Lynch. Secretary of
the Democratic Kennebec County Committee,
informing the public that the democrats Of
kennebec County were "dum5f founded at the
appointment of John Kirk, partisan republi-
can, as postmaster at Togus." Will you please
inform the inmates of this Home what right
Mr. Lynch has to interfere with the appoint
ment OF postmaster at the Soldiers Home. or
what rights the democratic party of Kennebec
county have in the matter The
post office at Togus, is a post-ofice at the
Soldiers Home. When the Office was estab-
lished Gen. w. s. Tilton was appointed
postmaster; when he left the Home, Col.
"A. J. Smith was appointed. Under the ad-
ministration of both these gentlemen an assis-
tant postmaster performing the entire work of
the office. 1t is understood that Col. Cobaueh,
the new treasurer, inasmuch as an assistant
was performing the entire work, declined to
take the Office, and receive paw while an
other was to do the service. 1t is understood
that Gen. Franklin, whose democracy not
even Mr.. Lynch can question, and other
managers of the Home, recommended
the appointment of Mr.. Kirk; and Mr..
Lynch has simply written himself down an
ass in his letter to the Postmaster General.
BY the way, Mr.. Editor, is this the same Mr..
Lynch, who it is said is to be appointed assist
ant postmaster of Augusta. if the Boston

Charles Thomas, the veteran fisherman of
this city, is making fat haus of fish nearly
every night. His fishing ground is in the
river just abnve the HalloweIl line. and he
employs seine 10 rods long, all of il having
been new this year and last. 1t requires four
men to handle it. One end is attached to the
shore while the opposite end is pulled out into
the river by men in boat, and around in q
circle to the shore again, sweeping over a
large area of the river bottom and capturing
all the fish that may be there. The seine is
finally pursed up so that when secured the
fish are enclosed i'll bag. The men clear
some 50 apiece each night, working from sun
set until 1 o'clock the following morning.
One night they seined 397 shad and 100
herring. The former sell at So per hundred;
the herring at 20 cents. One night last week
big sturgeon got entangled in the meshes of
the seine and was brought to shore 1t thrashed
about in terrific manner. 1t meas.
ured nine feet in length, weighing 600 pounds.
1t is not frequent that such fish as this is
taken in the river. Some few drift nets are
employed in the fisheries.
