that for case to horse and rider, excels any,
thing Of the kind we have seen. It's durabili-

who desire comfort in riding. 1t adds but
little to the cost and there is no danger Of its
injuring the horse. In fact we think if the
horse himself could talk he would at once ac-
knowledge his preference for the patent saddle.
1t would enable him to carry awkward riders
with ease to himself and is so constructed that
his back is kept cool by a passage Of aid be-

FISH IN MINNEsoTA-The Rice County
Herald says that fish form prominent fea-
lures in the provision market, and if Henry
Ward Beecher, and the fishing gentry gen.
orally will listen they shall hear story that
will exceed any of their experience. Four
miles from Fairbault little stream formed
by springs, empties into Canton Lake-into
the mouth of this stream the fish run in such
abundance that man has taken twelve at a
single dash of hay fork, and In few hours
has secured . wagon load A man living
near the place, estimates that 10000 lbs. were
. taken in a few days-and of the quality ,ha,
: would not suffer in comparison with New
Hampshire trout. This Territory abounds in
beautiful Lakes, and the Lakes contain mos;
delicious pike, bass, trout and pckerel, in ar
> Unlimited abundance. Wouldn't some of the
followers of Isaac Walton be little surprised
ito see a man angling with pitch fork, and
measuring his fish in a two-horse wagon
We reckon so!
