The lobster was caught iu an ordinary trap, except that he was not caught in the usual way. He was so large that lie could not. enter as lobsters dei, but while around the entrance It" in some way became entangled in the woodwork forming the lobster pot and was borne to the surface and extricated. One of the large claws had become almost devoid of life, while the other, though not at all frisky, was callable of giv ing a hard bite.—Fall River Herald. A Factory Clnb Houwe.
