On Deck Again.

Captain William P Susser has, we are glad
to know in a great measure regained his health,
and is beginning to assume his wonted habits of
activity and industry. He left on Tuesday for
Newport Springs, to start his new saw-mill the
operation of which he will personally superin-
tend. Rumor says the first work of this mill
will be the saving of lumber for two large no.
tels-both to be built by Captain Susser-one at
Newport and the other on the site of the his
toric old City Hotel, opposite the State House.
If Captain Slusser has decided to undertake this
good work-and we hope he has, no one familiar
with his long career as an energetic and success
full business man will doubt his capacity or ab-
ity TO accomplish this great undertaking. Start
ing now he can have his two hotels completed
and ready for the grand boom to follow the
building OF the railroad, and the reward for his
enterprise and industry will come promptly, and
be ample-as it should be.

Ticknor & Co., of Boston, have published
an entirely new edition of Scott's ''The Lay
of the Last Minstrel" This poem is the
swan song of the age of chivalry and ro-
nance and from every stanza breathes the
sentiments of the days when honor, valor
and beauty ruled the world. The poem was
published in 1905 and was from the first en-
inently successful. 1t has always been a
high favorite among all lovers of lofty senti-
ment and melodious verse. The scene is
laid mainly at the old Border stronghold of
Branksome Hall. The arms of the Duke of
Buccleuch, the Lord of Branksome and the
towers and battlements of a feudal fortalice
are conspicuous. The critics of three gene
rations have given this poem their notes of
praise, from tbs essays of jeffrey and VIII
son down to the scholarly reviews of the
highest critics of to day. Among the illus
trations We may notice the beautiful full
page frontispiece, ttShe Gazed Upon the In
ner Court" after w. st. John Harper's draw
ing; and the many vigorous figure pieces in
which appear fair Margaret, the Knight of
Deloraine, the Goblin Page, Dark Musgrave
and many others of the characters in this
song of border wars and noble loves The
reproductions of the famous localities of the
poem are excellent. Newark's stately tower,
Naworth castle, Branksome turrets, fair Mel
rose, Liddesda1e, Yarrow's stream and other
legend-haunted localities of the Scottish
border marshes. The poem is beautifully
printed and nicely bound. Tioknor & Co.,

Capture of Great salmon.

lFTOul the LOuOOu
Mr.. Arthur Pryor, of Hylands, ,Cb elmsford,
sends the following interesting account
of the capture of 571s pound Tweed sal
mon:
On Wednesday last my host the Duke of
Roxburghe allotted to me for the day the
upper water at Floors. 1 had a very fine
days sport, having up to 4 o'clock landed
fourteen fish, weighing from s pounds to &c
pounds. The last fish broke my favorite fly,
and replaced it with one of Forests tying
called the ''Watkinson." I then hooked
what felt to be heavy fish, which took
my strength to hold him with one OF the
best 1S ft 6 in. rods Forrest ever made).
After trying all he knew to get rid of the
hook up and down the "shott" stream, he
went down through the rocks in safety.
Here he stopped behind the big stones, and
no power was master of could move him
till got a pull at him down stream. l then
had hold of him for half an hour, and my
arms ached painfully. The fish then went
down stream. 1 had to jump out of the
boat, when the Duke, Duchess, and my daughter
appeared 'tYou must get to the top of the
bank, " were the orders of my attendant.
Chow can I, and hold on both hands to
the fish?'
The Duke saw the fix was in, and came
and partly lifted me up; all safe for the pres
snt. Down stream went the fish into the
''slap," and there lay up again. We all
now thought it was big fish foul hooked, -
and the Duke advised steady pull down
stream, which, being resorted to, the fish
came through the "slap," and for the first
time rushed up to the surface and made the
water boil. He then slowly came toward my
side of the river, and the fisherman slipped
into the water below me, anG the magnif-
cent fish hoated tail first into the landing
net, after an hours hard struggle. He was
fairly hooked
