The Convention recommem s the nomination
of Hon. STartnts . F. Wirsos, foI• re-election. We
think it a very proper thing to do. At a time
like this, when the moral effect of an election is
to work more good perhapsthan the individuals
in themselves might accomplish, it is well to
consider all the points whichdan assist in secur
ing that much desired effect. !Where members

Where the Trout Flourish.
We have been to Coudersport How to get
there, and wbere'it is located, was graphically
told by, a correspondent of the COTILLIER, last
Summer. He also furnished our readers with a
very raable description of the trout-streams in
its neighborhood; not overlooking the claims to
notice of Classmtre, the expert fisherman, and
pleasant landlord of the Coudersport hotel—for
particulars of which. as we hate repetition, we
refer to
,onr files, which .await, at all times the
inspection of the curious., That description in
spired us with a desire to visit the county-town
of Potter Ca„ Pa., and in company with a friend
we gratified it by taking the Erie Railroad, for
Wellsville, fromtwhence we were carried by a
lumbering vehiele—said vehicle getting over
thirty miles of rough and dusty road in about
ten and 'a half hours. Our prOgramme embrac
ed the following arrangements. Firstly,to meet
the -writer who introduced Coudersport to our
notice ; secondly, to cultivate the acquaintance
of Glasstuire ; thirdly, under his guidance, to
'visit the streams in the vicinity, and become
initiated in the seience of trout-capturing, and
finally to go to French Creek, and camp out in
the woods ford brief period. All of which was
pleasantly carried into effect, excepttheilatter
clause, the comforts and delights of the Cou
dersport hotel, outweighing the, attraction of
beds made of hemlock boughs, and amateur
cookery. .
The Ong day's sport indulged in by throe of
us, resulted in the Capture df about eight' fish,
and as we. lorei to be correct in all things, the
following statement will award credit where it
properly behings.
Glassmire,. 73

Glassmire's 'mess" NFaSz splendid collection
of trout ; the'Doctor's though few in number,
were of gopd Size, and the balance consisted of
a diminutive chub, and two infantile shell fish
of ahe lobster!msuasion.
This . was our initiation. Tli&next day, being
SatUrday the'. 28th inst., and the party being
conipleted by the welcome addition of our ex
pected clerical friend, we started for the Sinna
mahoning, reaching which; we were dropped
about one; mile apart, with directions to fish
down the stream. and meet at: the wagon for
Punch.
The day opened splendidly, and the ride
through the magnificent country of wooded hilts
had put us albin superb spirits. As our friends
drove off we made our way to the stream, and
endeavored to follow the / directions we had re
ceived. We experienced the usual annoyances
that attend the efforts of the novice. Our hook
would fastenlitself into the limb of a tree, or a
rock' in the stream * / or the line would lx.corne
entangled with the undergrowth, and rotten
boughs would crush under our feet with start-.
ling noise, frightening the timid fish. Still we
persevered. I We worked our way into a dense
forest of hemlocks ; we waded in. the stream ;
clambered over huge logs ; tripped over slip
pery and treacherous stones, taking involuntary
baths—until we were startled by the mutterings
of an approachiug thundder storm. It came.
"All right 1" we thought, "fish bite better when
it rains." And how it did rain, let that little
pasty tell. For two hours the water poured
down in solid columns, and the scene when lit
up byoccasional flashes of lightning was gloomy
and grand beyond description. We look back
with becoming complacency, as we recall the
fortitude with which we endured the ordeal. It
was "Toots" we believe, who upon being told
of the ship wreck of Walter Gay, enquired of
that adren airotts young •• gentleman. "if he
did'nt get sio.fr damp," and when the storm was
over, and the sun had re-appeared, we, after a
weary search,had found our companions, dis
covered that like Walter we were all very damp,
besides being very hungry, very thirsty, and
very tired.
Again Glassmire was ahead, about three
hundred per' ent. in the number of fish he had
caught, over the rest of us.
We, as a recompense for our unusual toil and
fatigue, had 'secured one fish—but this. time, it
was a veritable trout.
Home to dry clothes, a trout supper, and an
early bed, th prepare us for the proper observ
ance of the day of rest.
On MondAy,we revisited theSinnamalioning,
and our expenence was very similar to that be
fore describtid—iucluding the shower—though
with an ir4roved . show of fish—the doctor,
emerging freak the novice' to a well-approved
expert, and our clerical friend and the landlord
creditably hblding their own.. -
The next day with other sojourners at the
hotel, male And female, we spent at the hospi
table farm-house of Major .Sam Mills, the pop
ular hotel pioprietor of Titusvilie, so faliorably .
known to the oil operators of Pennsylvania.
When tired of growitg rich by catering to the
wants of travelers, he sensibly returns: to his
hotne in Potter county-, for rest and the pro
coral of a frdsh and abundant supply ofhealth.
He rescued his large and attractive farm from
the wiiderness, and his relation of his experi
ence is almost as entertaining as the remarka
ble fund - of anecdote with which he lov es to re
gale his listeners.
Our visit to Coudersport was in every partic
ular a delightful one. Its people are kind and
hospitable, 'and the climate invigorating and
healthy. Its jail is without inmates; which
proves that the horse-thieves and . counterfeite.fs
with which this secticon of the country was for
merly infested, have fled to 'Tastures new," and
those who don't enjoy existence free from such
companionship and with the natural blessings
that surround them don't, deserves to eist..
