Lobsters are Scarce.

Lobster fishing in Steuben bay, says the
Machias [ MON, is failure this spring. A
man with 10 traps gets but five or six mar
keta bic Holsters to haul. 1t is going to be
hard OF some, but perhaps they may do bet
ter later on. Over S1,750 had been expended
on lobster boats in this place within year
Every trap cost dollar or more when ready
to go in the water, and each man can use
about 100 traps, and we have 90 or 80 men in
the lobster business in our bay, 50 you see
there is lot of money invested, but the
fishermen are not getting anything out of it,.
Reports from down the bay are hardly
more encouraging. The past winter many
of the lobster fishermen are said to have
barely made expenses; and this is the season
when they expect the Test results. Evident
ly the lobster is becoming exterminated.

Prospects Of Che Literary Convention.

The prospects for the literary conven-
ton are very hattering. 1t has attracted
widespread attention. Not only the peo>
pie OF our county are looking forward to
this gathering With the full. intention OF
attending, but the leading literary men of
the State are sending letters of encourage
ment expressing themselves as being high-
ly delighted that snch an organization has
been perfected. We wish to impress upon
each member of the union the importance
CT having perfect exercise. We desire
if possible the success Of the occasion be
far reaching, beyond the most sanguine
expectations. We are in receipt of a
communication from Earnest Willie"
who first instituted an organization of this
kind in our county. In his travels he has
organized many Of these societies and if so
desired, states that he will have "messen-
gers of greeting" to visit our convention.
He also offers medal to be accepted and
disposed of as we think advisable, in his
words II gladly lay the matter at your
feet" Most OF the clubs have already
prepared their programs and By the middle
of March every club will be practicing for
the 9th OF July. We are glad to learn
that the society at Oakland Academy las
accepted the constitution. While we calls
not meet with them as early as we intend,
ed. they have our best wishes. Another
important Thing at this progressive stage
o! the literary work is the having a we'll
assorted lot OF literature and establishing
libraries for its safekeeping
If possible will visit every club before
April LIST. Hoping God may bless our
literary work and make prosperous every
society, am your humble servant,

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need CT a tonic and all
terative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion. consti>
patton dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.
