Mike Mcdonald has every reason to
consider himself very lucky fisher
man. He was at Cobbosseecontee. Sun
day, with friends and passed a part of
his time tempting the finny tribe AT
one time, he was fishing in from 80 to
60 feet of water. There was no greater
surprise in that vicinity than when he
pulled up his line and found that he
had caught a pretty lake trout. This
he did three times and all were beau
ties. He also caught a pickercl in so
feet of water, something that has sell
dom been known. People who live
about the lake and make guiding a
business report that this time is the
first time that trout have been taken
from the lake at this time of year in
their remembrance. Great catches Of
white perch are also being taken there.

1t is expected that the work of re-
pairing the Tniversalist church will
begin, Wednesday morning. 1t has so
far been decided to change the organ
from the rear of the church to the left
hand side Of the church, on entering.
near the pulpit. To do this, it will be
necessary to build an addition to the
church at that place. This will make
the repairing of the back part of the
church necessary. Here will be a great
deal of work done. and it will be as
modern as can be when completed. At
present, to pass from the church to
the veStry it is necessary to go out of
doors and about the church. 1t is in
tended to cut a passage from the
church through to the vestry. The
whole structure will be painted within
and it is hoped that memorial windows
will be presented to the church to make
that part of the church correspond well
with the remainder. The money for
the repairs has all been raised, but it
is hoped that enough more can be OBJ
tanned to make even further repairs
that are necessary.
