A number of parties from here have
recently been to Black Brook In Andover
fishing, and all have had good luck. The
usual schedule Is to start about mid
night, and get to the brook in time to
put on the first bait by lantern light. In
cidentally there are eighteen good trout
in a nice cool shady place near the
brook, which one of the fortunate fisher
men remembered when he got down
this side of Rumford Point, but decided
not to 90 back after them.
George A. Hussey is carrying his left
arm in a sling as the result of an injury
received at Bryant's Pond Wednesday.
That morning he went to do carpenter
work on the cottage which Mr.. Cooper
is building. He bad been at work only
a short time before the staging gave way
under him, and he fell to the ground,
striking the back of his head and shout
ders. The left shoulder was dislocsted,
but no bones were broken, and he will
probably be laid off only few days.

Tubbs' fathet, and were recalled by that
event. All these members of the Tubbs
family lived in South Paris for q time,
and went from here to Florida some two
years since.

Thursday such as it has not had before
in more than thirty years certainly, when
it was necessary to suspend work on
job press on account Of the heat. The
rollers, made for general, year-around
work, were 50 soft that they pulled on
the disk and could not be used. The
thermometer in the work room was at
90 degrees, while over the editorial desk,
on account of the approach OF the cam
paign or something, it got up to a.
This is the first day in some years that
the Democrat Thermometer has climbed
above 90, but the air was much less hu-
mid and the day less oppressive than
Wednesday, when the mercury did not
go so high.
An interesting story is told of cat
