ANGLING.

THE TWEED AND TEVIOT.—Last week the water
has been in good order for angling, although one or two of
the days were too bright for salmon fishing. The number
of salmon which have reached the upper parts of the
Tweed is not sox large as was anticipated, and until we
have another flood anglers will not have the sport they
were wont to have in the autumn. In the Floors Water,
the Duke of St Albans has angled one or two days during
the week, but has not had much sport. On Wednesday,
Colonel Bramston killed three salmon in the Floors cast ;
and at Sprouston on Monday Dr. Geldart killed one weigh-
ing 211 b., and on Wednesday one 171 b., and another 91b.
ery little sport is being got in trout-fishing, owing to the
chilly nature of the weather.—Scots man.
GALASHIELS.—There has been but indifferent
sport in this district so far as the season has gone. A few
fish have been captured, bnt only in sufficient numbers to
keep hope from dying out. On Tuesday Mr. M'Vine, of
Newcastle, has had the good fortune to kill a magnificent
fish in the Callonfoot Pool. It weighed 33 lb., and mea-
sured 3 feet 4 inches in length and 2 feet 1 inch in girth.
The same gentleman killed other two fish this week. The
river has again fallen, and the water is clear. Sport is not
likely to improve until we have a fresh flood.
INNERLEITHEN.—Since the last flood on the 28th
and 29th ult. anglers have had but poor sport. The shoals
of fish that ascended after the flood were apparently not
large, and their numbers were soon reduced by poachers.
The river was frequently swept last week with nets, and
cleeks have been used with success. On Saturday lerst
fish were being sold in the town at 41d. per lb. Oil Tues-
day,e which was observed as a general holiday in °Te o

AN EXCHANGE.—Two men in a barber's shop in

tonsorial operation was over, the first one donned his neigh-
bour's coat and walked away. It contained $2,500, which
No. 2 determined should not go that way, and a policetuau
was despatched after him. Learning the mistake, he be-
came greatly alarmed, and hastened back, for in his own
coat pocket lay $5,000. The exchange Was mutually atis
