IN GENERAL.
Reports from different sections agree that
deer are more plenty now in Maine than 10.
many years past. The Industsial journal
says that from all directions come stories
about deer being seen, in many instances In
localities where they have not been observed
before for quarter Of century but sNttla While
they are thus frequently seen near the settle- cue
ments they are notably numerous In their
faVorite haunts in the depths of the forests.
The greatest deer park in Maine, or in fact
on the Atlantic Slope, is in 1.-THE. vicinity OF
Nicatous Lake. A few weeks since James
West and wife Of Camp Nc Nleat0qGs; Gs;s1bens Tels

Even apart from the action of permanent
causes the strain of the last six years upon
me has been great, and | must look for an OPP
portunity for some change and TTepose,
whether in or beyond England. But in one
respect | feel that relief must be sought
