BELFASr, Dec. 9th, 1884. Crossing the bridge
at West Trenton we find our>elf on Mt. Desert
Island which has become so well known to the
people Of New England. The snow which ha,
Just fallen makes it hard driving with ear
riage, but it is evidently better than sleigh, all
things considered, Al West Eden we find com
Portable accommodations for the night after
some little trouble and improve the evening in
writing. The town OF Eden is the best of the
Island, agrcuturaly considered We find
quite good farms here all things considered.
There is not much nice stock however, and few
depend upon farming for livelihood. \ great
portion of the men spend most of their time on
the water as sailors and fishermen. Like most
of our coast the wood l., principally black
growth, and the soil is not particularly fertile.
The next morning we take Il drive around
Indian Point to SomeSyie 1t wa, a beautiful
morning and with the pure white mantle of
snow spread over forest, hill, and dale, 1t was Il
pleasant rural prospect that met our view. For
most of the distance our team made the first
track; but, is on the day before, we met PAR
tie out with their rifles looking for deer, ana a
fine one was shot that afternoon and brought
into the village The law prohibiting hunting
deer with dogs makes it much more difficult to
obtain them, but it is really a good thing It, il
prevents their being frightened out of the coun-
try. This with the law prohibiting the hunting
or killing deer from Jan. l>t to oct l>t each
GEAR will prevent their determination. II j,
SAID the number OF these animals has increased
in the State since The law was passed Before
