derf blue lobster in on oft eir pots

week, and had it on exhibition in their
store :fo‘r several days. It Was seen by
scores §Of curious old salts, Who had
J trapped lobsters for nearly half a cen-'
tury and never seen a blue lobster be-
fore. The mollusk is as queer lookin
, as it is beautiful. The colOr of its bac I
is a very dark blue, which is toned
down on the belly and claWs into a love-
. 1y light hue like that of old fashioned
blue china. The lightest colOr is like
~ that of the upper sky:on a cloudless day
and it gives to the lobster a transpar-

Blue lobsters are extremely rare. It
was not known that there;Were such in

VVAV FALSE. ALARM
lngV. ,
Just as the Congregational and V..V-St
Mary’ s church clocks- had finished
striking nine, last evening, an alarm of ; ..
fire was sounded frOIn box V21, at. the V
junction of Belden and South Union
avenues. The firemen were very
scene of the supposed file“, which
brush and rubbish in the rear of the old
Henry Kellogg homestead On the Step
Rock road. The fire alarm, however,
was pulled so vigorously that it caused
great alarm among our residents and
tion from where the alarm was sent,
thinking that the Union Mills might
be ablaze.
As the firemen had nothing to do,
they turned mound and Went back to
their quarters, and,- as the Pioneer
boys 'were abOut to turn into Hoyt
which had been hitched up and brought
out in the fear of a serious conflagra-
tion, but turned back on being Vin-
formed that there was no fire.
The box, it appears, Was 'pull'ed by a
lot of excited boys, to. thm the keys
should not have been given, as it caused
the firemen very serious as well as un-
necessary 'exerti‘on, but we may add in
conclusion, that too much praise can-
not be bestowed upon them for their
promptn'ess in turning out.
