It looks so nice in the picture books to see the angler with his fish basket, rod and reel, on the bank of the trout stream, with a fish about a foot or so in length dangling from the end of the line and the lid of the basket had to be fastened down on account of its being so full of the "speckled beau ties'' (that is the poetical term gener ally used in describing trout), which on the bank of the stream, in full view, can be seen several more of the "beauties" sort of an overflow from the basket ! When one looks at the picture he has a feeling of sympathy for the poor fish, that the heartless fisherman should be allowed to so wantonly waste them The picture is rudely dispelled, though when, after wading streams, fighting gnats, hungry, wet, and footsore, with an empty basket, ditto stomach, and the best portion of your bargain outfit swaying from the branches of some sturdy oak, owing to your lack of skill in casting, you wander back towards your hotel, and on the way meet some ragged farmer's boy with a crooked pole and naught but angle worms for bait, carrying a string of fish that excites your admir ation and envy. As a general rule you forthwith begin to bargain for his catch, which, after a deal of per suasion and the payment of a silver half-dollar, besides a goodly amount of hooks and lines to boot, the bar gain is consummated, and you proud ly transfer his string into your basket White Pique, $1 69, were $2 25 2 39, " 3 5 Navy " 2 39, " 3 5 WhUe Duck, 75.

The sport of trout fishing is very fine, and the trout streams hereabout are full of fishermen. Indeed, it is estimated by careful observers that there is a fisherman for every trout in Fishingcreek. the principal trout stream in this section. Conditions have not always been thus, however. I was down to the village store the other evening and was impressed with the wisdom and through, there was the greatest sight o' fish you ever seen. Why the farm ers all would come and load up tnar wagons full of em just for hog feed, and it took two davs to get the race emptied." I ventured to remark that tne stream must have been very full of fish in those days, when he continued "Yaas, it was sort o' wild like up here abouts. and not many to catch em.

We got an ax to cut through to get water lor our oxen, and you wouldn t had believed it. but when we got to choppin the ice we diskivered that all the fish in the stream was frozen in the ice. As they was no water to saw with, we all went to work for a day or so cuttin ice which we hauled to the saw dust heap and covered over, and all the next summer, whenever any of us wanted a fish dinner, all we had to do was to dig out a cake of ice and there was a nice mess o' fish froze solid in the middle of the cake 1 I tell you, fish was plenty in them days."
