The Watch Still Going.

A singular incident took place she other day on Damariscotta Lake Maine, which shows the voracity of the bass in that lake. A party from the Kennebec were fishing from a boat when one of them caught the end of his fishpole in his watchguard and flung his gold watch overboard Into forty feet of water. About an hour .afterward, and a mile and a quarter distant, they caught a six-pounder, and, noticing his fullness and peculiar appearance, he was opened, and there was the watch, still going.
