deer are more plenty now in Maine than 70
many years past. the Industrial Journa
says that from all directions come storie
about deer being seen. in many instances il
localities where they have not been observed
before for quarter of a century. The great
I est deer park in Maine, or in fact on the At
iantic slope, is in the vicinity of Nicatou
/ lake. A few weeks since James West anC
wife of Camp Nicatous, while canoeing saw
twelve deer in one forenoon. J. Darling o
/ Lowell, Oh a trip to the same region, saw
/ eighteen deer in one day. Mr.. Merrick,
/ somewhat noted bear hunter, on a recen
visit saw seven deer in the lake at one time

dance of deer in that locality this season.
