amusements. We shall not discuss which is
the best spot for throwing in the line, or where
the finest spot may be obtained, Or where the
largest fish may be caught. The broad Poto-
mac affords many @ choice selection, and
whether about the little Falls or nearer home
on the banks about our City, the brethren of
the art will find plenty of amusement and OF
fish also.
We are reminded continually in our walks
about the city, that angling is now the amuse-
meut from the many whom we see proceeding
to their sport, nor We know of more delight
full and healthier manner of spending a holt
day than stroll, with rod and line, on the
banks Of our glorious and splendid Potomac,
where, if We catch nothing, We have at least
the pleasure Of viewing about US. as splendid
q scenery as ever poet imagined, or painter
drew on canvass.

mind our readers that the Grand Juvenile Con-
cert will come of this evening at Temperance

that there will be crowds of eager listeners
to hear and witness such spectacle; nor can
we conceive of any thing more delightful
