A correspondent Of the Machias Republi.
can describes what he considers the finest
house In Eastern Maine as follows: "The
old familiar dwelling of the late J. w. Moore,
ESQ.,, has during the past few months been
transformed into the finest residence in
Eastern Maine, furnished with most modern
equipments, including complete system of
steam heat, lighted throughout with electric
room finished with polished oak and furnish,
ed with antique oak. Library furnished in
selld cherry. Parlors tinted and papered
with heavy gilt paper. Vestibules in polished
cherry. In external appearance the style of
the residence Is Queen Anne, three stories
with Mansard roof and aloggia in the tower,
which commands fine view of the village
and many miles Of the Narraguagus yalleys"
1t Is said by the Oldest hunters on the
Machias waters that deer are being bounded
into Duck, Unknown and Gasabeas lakes Ia
an extent which was never before known in
all their experience in that country. The
noise Of the hounds can be heard for miles
as one drives on the roads through the woods
ana some men living In that section make
business of keeping hounds TO let TO the
visiting sportsmen. Were 1t not for the
strict enforcement of the law which pro-
hibits the shipping of deer from the State
the slaughter would be even greater. AS it
Is many people think that the animals are
killed and left ON the ground, the hunters
having more than they can handle
