The Missing Penobscot Salmon.

Twenty years ago the salmon, king of
fishes, sWarmed in the Penobscot river, and
a man could 60 up to the pools below Treats
falls dam, within the city limits of Bangor,
and hook fine big fish before breakfast
Hundreds of salmon were in those days
taken with the fly from these pools, and
thousands were taken in the weirs along
the river below Bangor. Now the salmon
is 50 rare in these waters that the taking
of single fish is an event of such interest
as to call for mention in the newspapers.
The open season for salmon begins on April
/, and in the first three weeks this yea: lust
three fish were taken. One was caught
with the fly in Bangor pools, one was hook
ed and then shot, while the other was caught
in down-river weir.

included the young and the middle-aged,

old gentleman who received their heartfelt
congratulations. Mr.. Perry daily performs

Mrs. Scar sport to Mrs. Stockton.

We read your letter, Mrs. Stockton,
Laid a copy on the shelf,
Now we will take the liberty
To compliment yourself.
You did finely, Mrs. Stockton,
AS any one can tell,
But who'd have thought our sleepy frien
Could express herself 50 well.
Yes, we know that you are stirring,
For we hear YOU from our shore;
Very often we are startled
When we hear the powder roar.
So you like to hear the racket;
All the children do, you know.
Perhaps the same in second childhood
When life's sun is sinking low.
Now we hope yes, are quite certain,
That the railroad will surely bring
Back your youth, so long departed,
Turn your autumn into spring.
So you think that we are jealous,
But you judge us wrongly there;
AS for claiming some attention,
We have always had our share.
We should all be independent.
There you make great mistake
If for our rights we don't stand up
Some one will our laurelS take.
Now we hope, dear Mrs. Stockton,
You'll not try to show too fine,
For you know the largest blossom
Never grew Oh little vine.

but from which the chief industries
have been withdrawn. If investigation
disclosed the fact that certain centers

would be easily cXplained; but, i'm fact,
natural advantages have comparative
