THE FISHING LAWS.
Season Opens May in Ponds and Lakes.
Opens May Is in Brooks and
Streams.

Mr.. Editor:-
have seen your article of last week
in regard to the open season for fish.
ing and fear some of the devoted dis
ciples of Ike Walton may be misled
and may thereby lose four weeks fish
ing. which think rightfully belongs
to them.
| admit thereis seeming incon sist-
ency in the law as it now stands, but
am sure it is mere clerical error,
rather than any enactment by the leg
islature. I know the legislature did
not intend to curtail the open season
in any part of the state-in fact bill
to that effect was killed after being
considered by the committee on game
and fisheries. The only change con-
templated by the bill which did pass
was in relation to the open season in
brooks and streams for Windham
county. This bill did not curtail the
open season but merely advanced it
one month, thereby opening on April
Is instead of May Is and closing it on
July Is instead of August Is. Now
bear in mind that this provision ap-
piled only to Windham county and
was for the purpose of having the
Windham county provisions similar to
those of the adjacent counties in Mas
'sachusetts. There is absolutely no
doubt about that.

Miss Pomona Wilder Joslyn.

The community was saddened to
learn of the death of Miss Pomona w.
Joslyn, which occurred at her home
on Church street early Monday
morning, from an attack of acute
Bright's disease. Miss Joslyn was the
youngest daughter of VIM. and Abigail
Minis Wilder Jeslyn and was born in
Bloomington 67 years ago. When %
years of age she was stricken with
spinal meningitis and has been in very
poor health ever since. In 1858 she
came with her parents to this town
and she has always resided in the home
on Church street, which was built
about that time. Miss Helen Joslyn,
sister of the deceased. who died about
three years age, was constant COM
panion of her sister since the death of
her parents. Both Mr. and Mrs. JOS
lyn died in Barton. Mrs. Joslyn in 1853
and Mr.. Joslyn in 1875. Last January
Miss Joslyn fell and broke her hip and
has been confined to her bed since that
time. Although she has been a great
sufferer since early life she has borne
sher sufferings AMI i'll health with
Christian bravery, has always been
bright and cheerful, and will be great
" missed by her wide circle of friends.
She was one of the oldest members of
the Congregational church here, of
which she was a constant attendant
and very ]iberal supporter. Since the
death of her sister, Miss Helen, Mrs.
Hayward has lived with her and cared
for her until her recent sickness, when
Mrs. E. C.. KimbaIl has been her
nurse. She leaves to mourn her loss
two brothers, Myron w. Joslyn of Bos-
eten, and Gen. S. C. Joslyn, now on the
retired list of the United States army.
The funeral was held this, Wednesday,
afternoon, at o'clock from the home,
Rev. w. A. Warner officiating. The
bearers were H. T. Seaver, j. N.
Scott. 1nterment was in the Welcome
O. Brown cemetery here, in the family
lot. The floral tribute was large and
beautiful, telling family of the great
love of her neighbors and friends.
Thus passes the last resident member
of noted and much loved family, a
family that has meant much to Barton
in its long residence here.
