Communicated
Of Fishing-The Reasons WHY.
Mr.. ED1roR--Allow mo. in behalf Of my
self and associates "of the Decoy Fishing
Co." to condole with our recent" but un-
fortunate brother. His trials by flood and
field were too grievous to be borne in Sc
lence He deserves to receive, as he has,
our earnest and hearty sympathy. But, as
in matters Of this Importance, sympathy
alone is essentially valueless. I propose,
for his benefit, to trace these misfortunes 10
their source, and show, as i'll most Of the
ills Of life can b. done, that they are charge
able to himself Should he have the good
sense to act in future with an eye to these
suggestions, the "C Co." will be answerable
for the result. In your last number it is
recorded that, BY the use Of glasses you
may see as much as is to be seen. BY the
use of another kind Of glasses, you may see
twice as much.
We have all heard Of the man who, as he
wa: about to retire for the night, made the
important discovery that his he'd was on its
travels, and who carefully watched the mo-
mcnt when in is circles it should assume 4
favorable position, and then "made break"
and broke his n,>e; and also Of that ether
man, who, on his way homo somewhat late,
Vas startled by the strange fact that the
earth suddenly drew itself up and struck
him square in the forehead. But what Of
all this ? Our friend says he ran all over
the city to gather mp his "tackle," and

Of the Company would have anticipated

In the water he saw .hc reflected image Of a

Now if our late brother will again gathe,
