A. T. Reynolds, who acts as the
agent for the Improvement Society, in
paying for the brown-tail moth nests
destroyed, says that he had but q
nests brought in this spring. While d
year ago he paid the bounty on ovel
2000 of them. He says there were but
very few of them this year. which he
thinks was caused partly by the moths
being destroyed by the cold weather a
year ago this winter, as many of the
nests he examined of that crop ap-
peared to be dead, SO that if they were
killed off by the cold it didn't make so
much difference if the nests were not
all gathered. There We're so few this
year that not much attention was paid
to getting them, but all of those that
We're brought in were alive this time
all right and if there are any left ir
the trees they will make themselves
manifest There are not enough of
them to do much harm though in this
vicinity.

Bowdoin- Colby Game Postponed.

On account of the wet grounds
Saturday afternoon the Colby tBow-
doin baseball game was postponed,
much to the disappointment of large
crowd. The rain in the early hours of
the morning made the diamond very
scft and impossible for good ball play :
ing. The Bowdoin team arrived on the
morning train and returned to Bruns-
wick in the afternoon. The weather
cleared during the afternoon and it
was the opinion of many that the
game might have been played. This

The shad fishermen in this part of
the river have not done much drifting
for the fish yet, but they are anticipat-
ing some good catches this week. The
reports from down river are to the ef-
feet that the shad are more plenty this
season than for several years, and
good catches have been made there,
so that there is a hope that some Of
them have got by to come up the
river The drifting has to be done on
a flood tide. as when the tide is on the
ebb the fish stay on the bottom of the
river and it wouldn't be easy work
with the tide running. 1t is flood
evenings this week, and the fishermen
are looking for some good results for
the next few nights.
