IN the Barre quarries was blasted out
last week at the dark quarry OF James M.
boutwell,. This stone was 64x30x1S

Only few more days before the trout
season opens, and the fishermen are be-
Ginning to make preparations. A late
Season is predicted. The heavy snow
falls of the winter and the continued cold
weather left the brooks in bad condition,
and there is still considerable snow at
the head of the streams, which makes it
fatal for good fishing, for while the
water remains cold the speckled fellows
DO not feed to any extent. Many OF the
4 streams were frozen solid all winter, and
il is feared that the largest fish died on
that account. The weather the past
4 week has made the water ice cold.
