THE ALBICoRE. A fish called albicore
in Moore's market the past week recalled to
old residents the time when that species of
fish was common in Penobscot bay In the
late COS menhaden or porgies were very
plentiful and large establishment for
rendering the Oil was operated at the foot
of Condor street, besides numerous smaller
ones. The fish variouSly known as abb
core, funny, bonito or horse mackerel came
in, probably after the porgies, and were
taken in large numbers for their oil. The
fish then caught here were much larger
than that now in the market, some measur-
ing 10 feet or more in length, while the
above mentioned one is barely three feet
long. 1t was caught in Florida.

dlemire of Belfast; Hon. A. f. Nickerson,
Swanville; Mrs Amy A. Pendleton, Isles

Mrs. Dolloff intended to observe the event
in quiet way and invited few intimate
friends to spend the afternoon and evening
with her. Early in the evening others be-
gan to arrive and soon forty or more were
offering their congratulations. The callers
brought Mrs. Dollotf handsome rocker as
birthday present. The evening was very
pleasantly spent with pit, whist and other
games, and refreshments were served. Mrs.
