larger portion of preachers belong 10 " Sans

verse" Profound bibilopolist! SAID I'd Epistle
contains but one chapter, and his quotation
is n't in that. We do nj say that Amos is a
Jesuit, but, judging by the manner in which
he Halls " the clargy," we do say that he is not

Somewhere nigh unto about dozen or a score
or SO of our ichthyological young men, went
trout-fshIng, somewhere away back along the
side of Builaloe mountain, on Friday of last
week. We noticed on their return that they
had each caught deor,' some of which
were very fine specimens. The trout, howev-

juvenile locust tree across the slender wire,
,napping it asunder, and thereby forming the
erminus for both ends of the line right there,
