Lubec Herald:-Who ever heard of
fresh water Holsters? Many have seen
them and there are many who have
not heard of them. They thrive, &C
| cording to our informant, in the eastern
| part of the state i'll the Mattawamkeag
river near Dudley mill some three miles;
above Smyrna Mills. These Holsters
are small, seldom attaining size of
more than three inches but they are a
perfect specimen and swim backwards
with great rapidity. they are of a
| brOWPiSh red in color and are found bv
the millions Some men that were fight
ing fire there some three or four years
ago took pailful of them inland from
the stream some rods and turned
them out on the ground and every
one with one accord started for the
brook. This seems rather strange as
the brook was nowhere in sight. Some
lnstict in the little lobster seemed to
tell each one in which direction to go
1t is claimed that they make the bes,
kind of bait for bass and pickerel as
they are very active in the water and
OF size and shape to tempt the most
fastidious fish. Will some one kindly
give us the origin of this fish il it is
common in the waters of the State.
