The Venango Oilizen comes to us
this wet-k looking as fresh as a daisy.
It has been treated to a new head, and
bran new dress throughout, and is now
the handsomest paper published ij
Venango county. The Citizen has
always been one of the most welcome
exchanges on our list, and it does our
oul good to note this evidence of well
minted prosperity. The local page,
presided over by our old friend Frank
Smiley, never lacks fur news and
spice.

A gontleman who has given the
subject considerable attention, hand?
us the following: "At the Central
House an advertisement reads : 'Culm
bacher Beer.' This i3 a dark colored
beer, quite invigorating aud potent.
The word has puzzled several of our
philologists; but one of them who
thinks himself cute, says it is a beer
that will come (go) back on you;
but, notwithstanding his definition,
says it means if you try it you will
'culm bach' for more."
A couplo of young men brought
into our otlice, the other morning a
long, sleuder paste-board box, which
they said they found on tho street,
containing some sort of a new fangled
arrangement, which our innate mod
esty prevents us from mentioning, an
exact representation of which, however,
can be found in tho fifth column and
fourth page of this paper ; just below
the advertisement of the New York
Sun. The owner can have it by
calling at our sanctum. Oflice hours
from 8 to 9, p. in.
Only four weeks more in which
to announce a.? candidates for office at
the Republican primaries. Our col
umns are open to anybody who has
tho requisite amount of "wherewith,"
and hope our friends will be prompt
in tli is matter if they have serious intentions.-
We have yet no candidates
for District Attorney, Coroner, or
Surveyor, all of which offices tire to be
filled the coming election. Don't bo
backward, gentlemen ; our terms aro
remarkably reasonable, but strictly
cash in advance.
A letter in to-day's paper from
Mr. Dunn, telling about some of his
fishing expeditions in Minnesota, will
bo read with interest by his many
friends and former patrons iu this sec
tion. SnakeB and ginger-bread 1 Think
of itl Oue hundred and twenty three
bass iu one afternoon 1 It fairly makes
us lonesome to think of it. What
a sporttmeu's Paradise that must be.
Mr. Dunn's letters will always bo
eagerly sought after by his friends
here, and we hope to hear from bim
often.
A valuable ram belonging to Mr.
Kelly, which cost him $75, died on
Saturday last. It was the finest spec
imen of sheep ever brought to this
county. Sheep-iaisiug is becoming
quite an industry iu Forest county,
aod wo have reason to btlieve that
before maDy years our county will
rank with any of tho larger oouuties
of the State in this particular. Capt.
Clark informs us that he took a fleece
which weighed eleveu pounds from a
yearliug lamb; and from another a
nine pound fleece was takon, which is
bard to beat anywhere. The lambs
were twins.
Iho closing exercises of our
borough schools took place on Wednes
day afternoon last. A programmo
embracing dialogues, declamations,
essays etc., had been arranged and we
understand the scholars w ho took part
acquited themselves quite well, espec
ially the little folks. Both teacher
left on Thursday last for their re
spective homes, bearing with them the
good wishes of our citizens. Prof.
Walker, by his gentlemanly and cul
tured manners, und straightforward
course won the esteem of all who
made his acquaintance ; his scholars
all liked him, and we havo every
reason to believe that ho did his
utmost to advance and improve the
school. We had hoped that ho would
settle hero, and become a permanent
citizen among us, but as brighter
fields seemed to present themselves to
his vision ho concluded to go, and we
hope his greatest expectations may be
realized. Mrs. Etta M. Wood, who
had charge of the primary department,
made many friends ia Tionesta who
were loth to seo her depart from their
midst. A lady of refiueruont and
culture, she left a warm impression in
the hearts of her many acquaintances,
by whom sho will always be kindly
remembered.
Tho body of John Blair, Mis. D.
Andrews brother, whoso drowning in
tho Clarion river we made mention
of some time ago, was found, accord
ing to the Clarion papers, a long ways
below tho place where he is supposed
to have fallen in. The body being too
much decomposed to move, was buried
near where it was found.
Zip Guiton and Ed. Hunter visi
ted their rattlesnake den yesterday,
but, as Zip said, it was a poor day for
snakes, and so they only got four,
which would average about 3 feet
each. This deu is situated ou the top
of tho hill just back of tho depot, aud
Zip says the first good da' that comes
he'll give us a snake story that's worth
telling.
Some big sawing was done at the
May & Kelly mill, yesterday,
which is superintended by Wm.
Richards. They started out in the
morning to see what they could do.
In three hours they had sawed 13,500
feet of boards, when something about
tho engine gave out, and they were
obliged to shut down. They are at it
again to-day, and the result of their
days work will appear in our next.
Letter from W. R. Dunn tsq.
Fergus Falls, Mlsn., May 20, 79.
Mr. J. E. Wesk,
Dear Sir : I shall not
in this short epistle attempt to give
you a description of t'lis grand and
glorious countrj, uor to enumerate its
tfiany present and prospective advau
tagss. Sufik'o it to say that if a man
has health, "sand," and a small capi
tal, there is nothing to prevent his
becoming "solid," iu the course of a
few years. If any capitalist can come
here and view the land, and look over
tho natural advantages of this country
without investing his loose cash, ho
will ree things through different eyes
from those parties who are flocking in
here from all quarters. In two words
I will tell you what is the matter with
Fergus Falls: We hava one of tho
best and most capacious Water powers
here, and for some miles above and
below this poiut, that ever I saw ; the
laud is all or nearly all good, and is
peculiarly adapted to raising the best
wheat grown in the Union ; moreover
a railroad is under construction which
will probably reach. here early in the
fall, oflbrding us direct communica
tion with Minneppolis and St. Paul.
But I didn't start out to write an
emigration document, but merely to
tell you and your numerous aud rap
idly iucreasing list of subscribers of a
little fishing scrape I assisted in last
week, which I am afraid will look
largo to you, but which can be
vouched for by several Fergusonians.
On Thursday morning last, a party
of four of us loaded up a boat in a
lumber wagon, und went out to
Jewelt Lake, a beautiful sheet of
water lying about eight miles north of
this place. Launching our boat, three
of us let out trolling lines while one
rowed. The day was windy aud the
rowing was tho hardest kind of
manual luhor, but by dint of steady
fiihing until about 6 o'clock p. m.,
we managed to secure eighteen black
bass, which would average perhaps 3
pounds apiece. We left the boat
locked to a stub, and us the sky bad
tho appearance of rain, we hurried to
hitch up and get home. In tho bustle,
I left my two rigs, a spoon-hook, a
double-bitted concern, presented me
by Jas. II. Ilulings, oue giveu me by
Mr. Richards, of Cincinnati ; a long
lino denoted by O. W. Robinson, and
the braided liue which you will prob
ably remember, having used it.
I felt that it would hot bo treating
my friends well to lose their parting
gilts, so on Friday morning I hitched
up Capt. Coniptou's horse and buggy,
uud putting in the oars, which we had
brought home with us, and a lunch,
I prevailed upon a gentleman named
Crego, to accompany mo iu search of
my lost tackle. We arrived at the
lake at about 11:30 a. m., and I found
tho lines at once. Unhitching aud
tying the horse, we jumped into the
boat aud let out a line. Rowing
about half a mile, we succeeded iu
catching three good sized bass, the
largest weighing perhaps six pounds.
Comiug iu we fed tho horse aud ate
our lunch. Looking at my watch I
found it was nearly 1 o'clock. The
day previous wo had tried fishing iu a
smull bay, where tho fulling was said
to bo good, but ou account of tho high
wind wo .were obliged to abandou it
and row to ti e other side of tho lake.
To this bay, therefore wo rowed, aud
luckily found it comparatively smooth.
No 6oouer had wo struck the bay than
the trouble commenced. I hauled in
three bass in about the time it would
take to tell it. From this on we
pulled in a bass every few minutes,
and in a short time the bottom of tho
boat was covered with bassdead,
because wo killed them as fast as we
took them, by runing a kifo into the
spine just back of tho head.
About 4 o'dock, the sky looking
threatening, wo pulled in, thinking
that we had enough fish for ourselves
and all our dear fivo hundred friends.
Lauding, wo 6trung our fish, twenty
at a time and carrying them up a
little hill, loaded them in the buggy.
Each string made a good load for
both of us. We found that wo had
seventy bass.
Now, you will be inclined to remark
that we had enough fish for any two
creatures who didn't have bristles
between their shoulders; but, you sec,
tradition had it that a party of four or
five, a few years ago, had brought iu
eighty-odd bnss as tho result of one
afternoon's. fishing. The same thought
occupied both our breasts : "Let's bsat
the biggest catch on record 1" Now
nothing; but the excitement of beating
the best would have tempted us back,
as it wa3 sprinkling slightly by this
time, and promised a good rain. But
our blood was up aud back we went.
Now Crego is not a very heavy built
mau, and fearful that tho strain of
pulling in the fish would be too much
for him, I let him row, while I did the
fishing.
The fish were evidently glad to bco
us back again, and more hungry for
spoon victuals. Hardly would tho
spoon begin to revolve until "jerk"
she went, the lino straightened out,
and in four seconds that fish was a
corpse with an orifice in the back of
his neck, where his life went out.
Several times the spoon was actually
takeu bcfoie it commenced to revolve !
But why dwell? Suffice to say it
was altogether the most exciting, and
the most prolific sport I ever tumbled
to. .
We rowed back to tho landing,
reaching there a littlo before seven
o'clock, and countcd an.d stowed our
fish. WTe had caught one hundred and
twenty three bass, four of which wo
threw back because they didn't weigh
quite a pound apiece. We must have
had thee hundred pounds of fish.
Arrived at home, wet and tired, we
had quite a time peddling out our
fish, "without money and without
price." Nearly everybody had fish
for breakfast ou Saturday morning. I
took revenge on a couple of small
ones, and must say that they were by
all odds the finest bass I ever tasted.
With the Ilulings spoon and the
Robinson line we lauded G7 of these
fish. I remark this so that these
friends will know that their presents
were well bestowed.
Game of all kinds is plentiful here.
I sigh, however for my dear littlo
"Parker," as I often havo occasion to
reflect how sho was one of the salt of
the earth a treasure a beauty a
staunch friend aud a deadly weapon.
I receive the Rki uelioan regularly
aud enjoy tho perusal of it very much
indeed. You ure getting out a very
creditable paper, at which I am duly
elated, considering you in some
sense a dcsjiplo of my own.
With regards to my friends, and
best wishes for the success of the Ri:

also a key und index to all other good
English literature, enabling oue to see
and judge fur himself what authors
and books arcjnost desirable for him
to read suclis the new Acme edition
of Chamber's Cyclopedia of English
Literature. In its nearly 3,500 pages
it gives biographies of nil noted British
and American authors from earliest
time to the present, with choice aud
characteristic selections from their
writings, thus being a concentration
of the best productions of modern in
tellect. It is published in eight handy
and beautiful lCmo volumes, at prices
so low as to seem really astonishing to
most book buyers, viz: in paper, com
plete, 82.00 ; cloth, $3.00 ; half mo
