WE credit the Canton Sentinel with the
first "trout story" of the season. And,
taking into consideration that this• has
been rather a cold spring in which to ger
minate fish stories, we consider the Senti
nen; effort not a mean one. Hero is what
it published last week :
" Some boys sot eel hooks one night re
cently in Towanda creek, and caught a
trout weighing a pound. Trout are rare
fish in that stream."
Attotrr twelve mileS, from Canton, says
the Sentinel, in Sullivan County, is a sheet
of water called 31erritt's Lake. It is
somewhat larger than Lake Nephawin,
and is often visited'hy fishermen in quest
of sunfish, catfish, and eels. Recently the
lake has been stocked with bass, and
when thrde years expire, before which
time bass fishing is not allowed, another
attraction-Will be added to those which
Northern Sullivan now presents to pleas

ONE of the queer things in business is
the propensity of people to seek irregular
mediums of advertising. The Cincinnati
(lazette says it is, unaccountable the prices
some men pay for sticking their advertise
ment in irregular places. Especially is
this so wheitycompared with their unwill
ingness to pay anything_ for advertising in
'the regular channels. Advertizements,
thrust into irregular and unbusiness-like
places, impress the general mind that the
concern iy of a similar character. But an
advertisement in a general newspaper of
first-class standing, carries the impression
that the advertiser has a standing in his
oviii community, which he is not afraid to
sbuw to his neighbors, and that he does
wit shrink from competition with the best
of them. If any one is going to a place
to buy, whether he boa trader,or buying
for his own use, and has to seek dealers
through advertisements, where will ho
look fur them? To registers, almanacs,
theatre bill frames, in railway stations,
occasional advertising sheets or circulars?
CM the contrary, he looks to the Most re
putable newspaper 'of the place, and he
thinks that advertising in these gives an
assurance of the good standing of the ad
vertiser and his business enterprise and of
the sufficiency of his-stock.

ABOUT TOMATOES
Dr. ALLEN, in a communication to the
Athens Gazette of last week, has this 'to
say about tomatoes :
"Are tomatoes healthy? We, unhesi
tatingly say yes, if used within the limits
of moderation.' We do not think they
should be used very freely- without being
cooked. Th3y possess an• acid that, ex
cites the salivary glands even to salivation
in some people, and- a long persistence in
their use may cause a spongy State of the
guMs, and vises are reported where the
teeth have become loose, and have fallen
out. Such cases are quite rare. They are
an appetizer, and judiciously used stimu
late the digestive organs, caniing the food
eaten to be better assimilated, and the
body better nourished. Dr. Dm LEwis
say that tomatoes should never be eaten
without being cooked. We are not of his
opinion, having known many to use them
daily for a long time without injury, but
the fruit should he fully ripe. The use
of the unripe fruit is questionable, even
if used as a pit kle, yet it may be used
moderately with as little tisk as other
ickles. 'ThObanishing of tomatoes from
the list of fruits prepared by our house
keepers, would be a severe loss to them,.
as they are easily prepared and cheaply
produced, and are quite a luxury to very
many. . - •
In conclusion, we unhesitatingly say to
all lovers of tomatoes, eat all you want of
them, confining your appetite within the
bounds of moderation, as in other articles
of diete"

WHY THEY
The Wyalusing correspojident of the
Elmira *Advertiser, of al recent date, has
the following to say about the splendid
new grist, mill just edmpleted at that
place :
"The people of this section, are, and
have great reason to be hilarious over the
fact'of the succes: ful starting of the new
and elegant flouring mill of, George H.
Welles, Esq., at this Place. It is now
complete in all it appointments, and at a
cost of twenty thousand dollars. A brief
history, your correspondent deems to be
in order and of intere•t 'to thotie who may
become its patrons. 0 the site of 'this
structure stood the old grist mill" Own-1
ed by Judge lIOLLEI4ACK, of' Wilkes-
Barre, a long time since deceased. Mr.
WEI.I.r.s who - was man a 1 heir of the
late ELLEN iVVELLE44 came into pos
session of this, the 11pLLENTIACK mill
Mr. WELLES concluded to build new, and
also concluded at the Same time to be
true to' his nature and erect a mill, than
which none better shoUld - be found
in the country or of More modern ap
pointments. lie looked the State over
for a model, and in the tipring of 1878 con
tracted with Joillt T. NOVF.S de Sox, of
Buffalo, N. Y., to buildla mill on the said
site that shOuld fulfill all the require
ments of the best "modern mill.' The
said firm were to furnish the machinery,
and do all the 'work ford about $lO,OOO
- furnishing all -the .materials.
Ground was broken about July, 1878.
The Company at once struck trouble in
the nature of quicksand, causing them a
loss to'start with of about six hundred
dollars. The mill was tO be completed in
December following, but was not till over
one year. The company' put in about $2,-
000 worth of rosoldnery extra from eon-
" When" it . was '
pronounced " complete
Mr. WILLI& miller started the mill, but
to the great consternation of all parties
omMerned, it was utterly a "no go." The
wheels were entirely inadequate to propel
thelmmense, machinery. The company
taking the position that the contract was
fulfilled and Mr. WastEs that it was not,
matters came to a dead-lock and so re
mained until in February last, 'when Mr.
WELLES employed and contracted with
the "Richmond City Mill Works," of
Richthond, Indiana, to coMplete his mill.
In the moan time suit was brought
against the aforesaid delinquents to reco
ver for the injury sustained on the part
of Mr. WELLEs, and is now by rule of the
defendants in-one of the highest courts of
the State. March Ist, ultimo, JAMES AL
BERTSON came bore as wheel-right for the
:said Richmond, and has with several as
sistants, been busily engaged with repairs
up to the 20th instant. By removing,
Changing, altering, and placing in ; new
machinery, the mill now gives indication
of groat success. Your correspoident
paid the mill a visit, and together , with
Alr. ALBERTsox looked it over carefully,
and although not a judge, considered it,
together with the snow-white flour it de
livered to the miller (a sample of which
in biscuits was not only seen but tasted).
prime in all respects, and an elegant mill.
Air, WELLES is now prepared to furnish
the "now process" flour , to merchants,
dealers, and all customers at home or
abroad, at the lowest rates known to the
trade. He has also prepared to do all
custom work brought to his mill. In a
word Mr. WEI.Las has conferred ou this
community, as we trust, a lasting bless
ing, and on himself a profitable invest
ment. Now let the good work of improve
ment go on, till N't yalusing shall become
what her central position demands, a
largo manufacturing town."

Upon, the foundations which are, already
nicely under way, rocks of-a ton's weight.
or more, were placed at the bottom upon
which rest the. walls. The brick-yard lo
lated a few rods back of the ground,
where they are to be used, is in readiness
for brick making as soon as the daily ex

has been ordered from Buffalo., Under
the direction of Mr. ABRANI Fnis, the
work goes busily and harmoniously on--
every week sn9wing a marked progress.
Although it is termed - a poor house—the
indications are, that it-will be when fin
