Richard Larcombe was the builder of
this successful city dredge. In q former
issue Frank Larcombe was ( credited
with this piece of work, in error. We
notified Frank that he did moi deserve
this credit, and that it was to be taken
away from him again. He smiled sub
mission, while drily remarking that he
had ''glory enough without that little
item" So "all's we'll that ends we'll"
and everybody is made happy.

Collector Peterson "would q fishing
gon on Monday last, in the companion
ship of William Streaker. They
caught IA barrels of fish hat day,
which petted them $16s, fish selling
then at the rate of 12c per pound.
Stimulated by this wonderful success,
the same pair went out again on Tues
day. Tuesday was a pretty hot day
and some one was cruel enought to say
that the excessive heat was due to
Peterson's big Monday catch. Just
how that would cause the temperature
to rise, was not made clear, but there
was a merry twinkle in the eyes OF the
mar who attributed the m~ercury's
leap to Peterson's shouting.
Mrs. Annie Hewitt, proprietress of
Home Dining Room on First avenue,
opposite Pennsylvania station, baked
six delicious apple pies last week to
serve to her guests on Sunday, the 26th
inst. Mrs. Hewitt's ideal of an apple
pie is really sublime-for such feelings
are awakened in those whose palates
are fortunate enough to be tickled by
her richest Of pastry. Although the
aforesaid apple pies were unfortunate
this one time In being a bit overdone
on the bottom side, a little trihe like
that did not maj the pleasure much
afforded in the eating. Accidents
will happen sometimes in the best reg
ulated families; and apple pie bakers
have to take their chance with all the
other mortals.
Anglesea volunteer iremen had their
SAUNDERS rudely disturbed about two
o'clock on Tuesday a. M, when the in
cisive marine whistler called them to
extinguish a slight blaze on the dock
front, in the back part of a building
once bearing the alluring designation
Dreamland.n That was when the
fabric was used as a moving picture
theatre. Funny things are happening
all the time in Anglesea. How absurd
to call the faithful f~ire.fighters out Of
dreamland to put out a blaze In
"DreamIsnd?n Can you beat 1t?
The city halls new lawn looks fine,
almost seems like a gem transported
from the "emerald lsle,n SO green and
velvety does this carpet of nature look.
The success of growing this new, fine
green grass around the municipal cita-
del reflects much lustre on the moving
spirits of this lovely turf propaganda.
Last Sunday f1sher-folk galore,
thronged round the Anglesea piers and
it took the capacity of six big fishing
smacss to accommodate all comers.
Anglers came back beaming over their
good catches. The pleasure-seekers moi
only fished for fun, but fished for fish
as we'll and were abundantly rewarded.
Considering the high cost of beef, pork,
veal, mutton, ETC., 1t pays just now to
fish for fun and for fish. Thus the
anglers are wise in their day and gen.

Anglesea boasts of one Civil wei vet
eran, Tom Devlin. Had it not been
for the courage of the boys in blue, we
would now have no country to write
about. They saved the day for ''the
Union, now and forever, one and in
separable!n
Up in dear old Anglesea, the girls are
still knitting, knitting, knitting, while
the boys are fighting, fighting, fight
Ing on the plains of Normandy. What
q joy these little manufactured articles
must bring to the hearts of the lads SO
far away from freedoms holy land"
