An echo Of the recent advance in real
estate appraisals of our town has been
the subject of considerable talk during
the past week. The property of the
Rockingham hotel and two large tenement
houses back of it upon Canal street,
owned by L. T. Lowell was raised from
$500 to $4,000. Mr.. Lowell was one of
those who appealed from the appraisal,
but was not granted relief He, at the
hearing and frequently since. has offered
to sell the property to any party at the
appraised price. Last week First Select
man M. II. Ray accepted the property
at the price named, and Mr.. Lowell agreed
to deed it, but has since reconsidered his
offer, giving as his reason a question as
to the license of the hotel and price Of
the furniture, etc. 1t is. probable the
trade has fallen through, although 1t was
generally understood last Saturday to
have been contaminated.

Weighing to 10 Pounds speared In the

The annual migration of cells down the
Connecticut river has been in progress
the past week and many good catches
have been made by local fishermen. A
favorable place has been at the racks Of
the different mills where men have been
stationed with spears at all hours of the
Gay and night. A number of men have
in this way secured over 100 pounds in a
day. some Weighing from seven to ten
pounds each. During the day Sunday
they passed through the racks of the
electric light flume in such quantities that
they clogged the wheels so as to stop
them, and made 1t necessary to shut out
the water and clean them out, many
bushels being brought out Of the enclos-
ures in which the wheels run. 1t has been
some years since there has been such an
abundance of these fish seen here. The
local fish dealers have had small demand
for the regular varieties of fish this week
