BIuehill Historical Society.

During the reception at the celebration
founding of Bluehill academy at Bluehill
Wednesday evening, and after Capt. R. G.
f. Cabbage had read his original poem,
which was largely on the history of the
town, Dir. Otis Littlefield proposed that a
society be formed to be called the Bluehill
historical society.
He made reference to the history OF
Bluehill, which could be traced out, and
to the statistics in possession of Capt.
Candage, who took such wide interest
in the history of the town.
Capt. Candage and Arthur c. Hinckley
each expressed themselves IN favor Of
such a move, and the Bluehill historical
society was founded on the spot. Officers
were chosen as follows:
DIR. Otis Littlefield, president; Emma
Jean Mcdowell, secretary; Josie e. Snow,
treasurer; trustees, R. g. F. Candage,
chairman, r. P. Grindle, Mrs. Abbie
Slower, Miss May Ober.
A meeting of all interested in the
project was called for Wednesday evening,
August %, in the library hail.
The new society proposes to raise funds
to repair the old academy, and have 1t
made as near the original as possible, and
use 1t as its headquarters and as a
place of exhibition for the papers and
curios of which it may come In possess
sion.
The society has many interested promo
ters, who will use their purses and their
influence to make it success.

The Fascination of Fishing.

The anglers art is but pretext or
rather the incentive to rambIe, and not
the sole object of the fisherman, unless
slasl he belongs to that too common va
riety the man whose sole object is his
catch, says writer in Worlds Work.
Such man fishes with worm, hides
fingerlings in the depth OF his basket and
photographs his catch as witness OF his
crimes. He is not fisherman, but a butt
cher. A yellow primrose on the rivers
bank is to him primrose and nothing
more.
The true fisherman loves to catch fish,
to match his wits against the wary trout,
but as he wanders from pool to pool the
songs OF the birds greet him restfully;
every turn in the stream reveals a nook in
which strange wild flowers nestle.
The gentle excitement OF the sport pre-
vents the scene from becoming monoto-
nous. The element of chance, the uncer-
tainty Of the catch add the drop of tobasco
sauce which gives zest to the day. And
the noontide meal by the brink OF the
stream! When did q meal have a more
delightful flavor? Deimonico never
served trout like unto those we have
eaten by the banks OF mountain brook
with the clear blue sky above, the waving
forest round about and the murmuring
stream at our feet.
The hour of contemplation comes after
ward with the pipe OF peace in our hand
instead OF the relinquished rod. How far
off the city seems! Are there such things
as corporations, trusts, stocks, bonds;
electric lights that amaze the sight, harsh
warnings of trolley gongs, the rumble and
grind of the wheels and the breaks on the
elevated road W hlch alright the ear? The
harshest note that breaks the stiffness
here is the boom OF the bittern in the dis
tant marsh.
Home to camp the fisherman goes, tax
ing cast in this silent pool in which the
trout rose in the forenoon to his cast but
missed he fly, or in that dark hole deep
under the bank in which a vigilant eye
may detect he brown sides of trout with
aziiy waving fins and Italian old CAM
patgner not easily caught.

All Wear Costly Raiment.

No man who eats in a restaurant
ever pays less than $75 for a suit or an
overcoat. and no woman who eats in a
public place ever wears waist costing
less than $50. and frequently the cost
issmuch more, at least so says the pro-
prietor of fashionable New York res
taurant. He, like all restaurant own
ers. occa sionally receives complaints
from people who have lost an over
coat-or mislaid one-and who have
had garments positively ruined by a
careless waiter splitting soup or some
thing else ON a portion of it, usually a
sleeve, and he says that the above fig
ures are the lowest quotations he ever
heard.

Jonathan Fisher, for one Of which, his
natural history, he made his own wood
cuts and walked TO Dedham, Mass, to
meet the publishers.
The papers were various letters and re-
ports OF early Bluehill and the academy,
dating back as far as 1880, containing no
end OF interesting and amusing things.
Most OF the papers are in possession of
the academy, and the paintings, some old
furniture, silhouettes and other curios
were loaned by Bluehili residents.

opportunity will be given later for all

mentioned the portrait OF Rev. Jonathan
