A Danbury Flslicrnmn. Bailey, who I still traveling In Eti.. rope, bag discovered that Aberdeen Inn great plaeo for flih, nnd writes to his paper In the following strain: Aberdeen. U largely Interested In fisheries, a fart that Is Impressed upon the visitor very soon after bis ar rival. But to see the fisheries In their full extent he must go down to thn wa ter. In the sensnn tho flh nelchbor hood h a busy and loiid-smelllng place. It take great Interest In eueh matters. We are always tho mot concerned abont that which wo understand tho least. Besides, I like to see fish caught In quantities, a pleasure I was denied when I was a fisherman; and, again, I am Interested In knowing how enor mous quantities of fish are handled without smothering tho neighbors. When I was n boy I was passionately fond of flshtnsr, and havo frequently sat for hours at n time on n damp bank wait-" Ine for a bite. About sundown I could be seen approaching home with ft' very' depressed and elck-looking fish on, the end ol two yards of string T rarely had more than one fish, but I managed to hecotne so Imbued with that single fifh as to smel, as It I had eauffht a ton of them. My parents cnnld never look npon this phenomenon as belne other thap raalleloiis deception on my part. And a little brother with ft heifer ncm than heart used to declare that If bo had to sleep with me he would run away' and be a corsair. A good coaslr gets about $10 a day ana ms Board, I understand, The fish I used to carry home on the end of twotfards of string wero gener ally about two and a'half Inches long. The" reflect Ion that weighed heavily up on mo all the way homo was thn' fart that the. fish had to be .cleaned beforo I could dispose of.lt, and thai T had to clean It. This finallv Incmlrori m. ,it. r ..... nrit.i ft dislike to my prey.and led me to won- nr wny nh, were provided with ln sides and scales. On reaching home, and disposing of a cold supper, I hun ted tip a clean board; got tho largest knlfa to be found In the house, and be gan tho task in tho kitchen by tho light of, a kerosene lamp. First I went to work at the ponies, holding on 'to the tall until thatgave'out.tand tlien cstohJ Insrhold of ilie body until "the tension censed the fish to burst open and spill over ma. Sometimes tho fifh would slip Into'lhe sink, but more frequently on to the floor. At the expiration of a quarter of an .hour, I had removed some fifteen scales, ten of which were up my sleeve, and the others' on my nnso, be ing transferred frnnvmy hand to that feature, 'wlille'etigaged In rubbing rav eye, which Invariably Itches on such an occasion. About this time my mother would make her appcranceo, and Just lo time to see the kerpsepo lamp narrow ly escape polng over the floor, With the help of a pah-of tongs I ws Induc ed to transfer, my operations to tho back .yard and continue them In tho tarllghf. Hero.I would itruggle with the contrary and ejcasperatlug fish for ft full hour, nt the. end of which" tlmo 'I had screwed off lta head, wrenched a way Its tall, and made Its body look like Lazarus' thlrt. The next morn ing an hour would be lost In prevailing upon the hired girl to smugglo my lish Into the frying pan, aud it even tually came to tho table an luch loug, nnd looking so Insignificant that my father quite frequently took It down by accident and didn't find out the enor until the spare scales got In his wind pipe and threatened to strangle httn. niNtorlcal Facts. nistorv In uanv casa iHHia v - if ..

' That spicy llltlo sheet The Guide, published at Oermantnwn, Pa., Is re sponsible for the following capltaf story: We were the witness of a very ludic rous Incident wtileh occurred a few days since, for rotating Which we crave the Indulgence of the gentleman direct ly concerned-deeming It too good a Joke to bo lost. Whllo slttlhc at our desk nnd lnhnr. InK assiduously with paste, to make ouih a rnllnhlr r I"- our patrons, we were suddenly fright ened from our propriety by the hasty eniranco ot a gentleman, exclaiming. "For God's sake, help me to see what's the mattcrl I've got .some dreadful thtner .Renrnlnn nr annlrn It. thn t my pantaloonil Quick quick htlp mcl" We Instantly rose ffoin our chalr.half frightened ourselves.

We looked atblm with asortof surprise mixed with dread, and hardly knew wlietli er t(( spoak with or seize and .confine turn for, a roadman. The, latter wo'camo near attemptlne. There ha stnnd nnW erlng and palo, with one, hand grasping a pan ot nis pantaloons just below the knee. "What's the matter?" asked wo at last." "Tho matter!" ho exclaimed, "oh. help mel I've got something here which Just ran up my legl Some Infernal lirardor scorpion, I expect! Oh, I can't let It go; I must hold It. Oh, therel" ho shrieked, "he felt It movo Just thenl Oh, these pants without straps! .I'll never have another pair open atune nottom as long as I live. Ali, I feel It again.'' '-'Feel what?"iwe inquired standing at the same time at a respectful dUtance from! the 'gentleman, for wo had lust ,been reading a correspondent's letter abont snakes, lizards and tarantulas, nnd began to Imagine some deadly In st ct or reptllo In" tlie leg of our frlei d's' unmentldnables. "I don't know what It Is." answered' the geiitUraauj t'helpine to see what it is. l was passing that pile of rubbish In front of your omco, aud felt It dart up ray leg as quick as lightning"- and no oiencued leg more tlchlly. If It had been the neck of an anaconda we firmly believe bo would havo been squeezed to a Jelly. JBy this time, two or three of the newsboys had come In ; the clerk and packing, bovs lienrlnr- ilm outcry;sloppeJ work Ids. and editor and - o all. bands tsiAd around the sufferer with looks of mingled sympathy and alarm. "Bring a chalr.Fritz." said' we. "And let the gentleman bo seated." 'ph, I can't sit," said tho centlo- man, "I can't bend mv kneel If I in It will b'ite me; no, I cau't sit." " "Certainly you can sit." said we- "keep your leg straight out, and we'll seo, what. It Is" you have got." "Well, let me clvo It' one morn tmnl squeeze; 111 crush It to death." nnd again he put the force of an Iron vice upon the thing. If It had any llfe.Ieft vnis last enort must have killed It.
