The establishment of Upham J. Treat, mentioned in the foregoing Return, is on Allen's Island, between Eastport and the neighbouring town of Lubec. At this place, there is a very large weir for taking Herrings, in which considera- ble numbers are caught. The arrangements for putting up Salmon and Lobsters in tin cases hermetically sealed, are very excellent, besides which, fresh vegetables (green peas and Indian corn) with poultry, and several descriptions of meat, are also put up, in similar manner. The fresh Salmon put up here, are brought in ice from the Harbour of St. John. Ths Lobsters are brought in smacks, with wells, from the westward ; when too many arrive at one time, they are placed *n the tide, in a sort of crib, or pound, enclosed with bigli palings, and there fed until they can be boiled and packed. The first supply of Lobsters in the Spring comes from the vicinity of Portland ; as the season advances, they are taken further east; in August, the supply came from East Machias. The price paid at this establishment for Lob- sters, is ,$5 per hundred, equal to three pence currency each Lobster. When the place was visited, on the 20th August- no less than 1200 Lobsters were boiled and packed on that day. It was observed, that a great proportion of the Lobsters were males, many of them of exceedingly large size; these were boiled 35 minutes. The smaller Lobsters (females) were only boiled 27 minutes ; these were kept apart from the others, and put up separately, as a better articlci the meat being finer, and the flavour much superior.
