UNFoRruNATE.-The Packet Company appears
particularly unfortunate this season. The
Nominee, on her last trip up, broke a shaft at
Gutenberg, and was compelled to make the
balance of the way on one wheel. This, with
her former loss Of time by similar accident;
the breaking of crank by the Royal Arch,
which took her out of the trade several days. and
the sinking Of the DIR. Franklin, is more than
one line of boats can well stand in the course of
six weeks. and still fulfill the promise of giving
us daily arrival.
About FIsH.-It is said by the doctors that
fresh fish is an unwhOlesOme diet in warm wea-
Their, and we believe it. But the temptation to
eat fresh trout. just from the brook, is so great
that we fear We will be unable to obey doctors
instructions whenever our good friends have
the kindness to remember us in this particular,
or whenever we can find time to hook them
ourselves. Some days since, before the wealth
err became so much "fired up" our thoughtful
neighbor, Mr.. Jos. Daniels from that unfailing
reservoir Of the spotted tribe, Hay creek near
Red Wing, despatched us halfa dozen of the
largest sized trout we have ever seen in this
country, which we and the folks at home also
despatched in another direction. in short order,
with many thanks to the kind donor. Our
friend,we hope, will consider our acknowIedg e-
ments none the less sincere because they have
come late.

drawing from the limpid waters Of that beauti-
lake, some Of the "oldest inhabitants" who

They handed over to us few days since pike
which weighed from twelve to fifteen pounds
1t was full sufficient to supply the whole neigh
bOrhood abou: the corner of Tenth and Canada
streets, and plenty of fragments left. Our
friends out at White Bear know how to fish,
and how to dispose Of their spoil.
We have only to add in the fish line or con-
corning fishermen whose lines have been
cast in pleasant places, that our friends Rob
rer, Walker and DR.. Marsh went to Winona the
other day and made terrible havoc among the
trout Of Rolling Stone brook, having caught
several hundred during their stay. 1t is said
"a rolling stone gathers no moss" but from
this Rolling Stone. trout are certainly gathered
in unbelievable quantities. The fine mess our
friends had the kindness to forward u, by the
Excelsior, were past being fresh and sound
when they reached here. But no matter! The
intention was all right-the weather was to
blame.
