friends, the President and the Captain, about
the fishing at Kelley's Island, a week or two
ago, we neglected to state many things Of in
terest-many incidents-which would doubt
less please our readers. We might have rela-
ted, among other things how HARVEY got
excited when he got a more than average
rapid bite, and declared he had "fve-pounderl"
how the Captain would offer to go the grape"
that it was another "woOlly headIn and how
the Captain would win, HARVEY pulling out,
as usual, a sheep head We might also give
the marvellous relations each one of the party
had for the evening circle at the "Island
House. where the days fishing was gone over
again-"in a horn" and where CHARLEY KEEL
LY was everlastingly reminded of a fish he
once caught, or a story he once heard how
his story put the party in mind of divers good
things they had met with in all parts of the
world-for the party was composed Of 'trav-
eled men" and had they not all seen whales
But, then, our purpose wes not only to keep
an account of the number of d0rg fish caught
by VASE. r., the times HARVEY declared he
had a cr0Wder when he only had a Sleeps
head, the "ine pairs" the President had, when
there was at least the difference of a pound
between them, the whappers the Captain
caught, when it was thought he had caught
enough big ones-our purpose was not, we
repeat, only to relate these things, and to tell
how the President out-generalled CHARLEY K,
in the game of chess, c~heck-mating him in
about a half a dozen moves, when the afore-
said K, thought he had the President on a
pile l-but our purpose toas, mainly, to give
our readers information in regard to where to
go to have a pleasant fishing tour to guide
them to a haven where they could, at small ex-
pense, have a successful fish, and charming
accommodations. The S. d. Il c. Road is
in most excellent condition and the fare, TO
fishermen, is not outrageous the West House,
at Sandusky, is an excellent point to start out
from, as all necessary information can be had
there with regard to what should be taken out;
and the Island House, where every thing good
may be had, is the place to get quarters for a
short or long term-where good edibles, boats,
bait, tackle, &c, may be had by the %uninitia-
ted, and where pleasure is unconfined, If any
one tells you it is too late, reply that you win
try if it be so inform them hat you will tyN
and il you get few or no fish, you will get
berries, fruit, and all the Injuries Of the season
we had liked to have said "of the tropics
and would not have missed il much. If we
have interested some of our readers to make
the trip, we will have our reward in their
thanks; for we know they will thank us for
having induced them TO make the jaunt
B65-The Mayors office presented a very
lively appearance this morning. II seems
that there was n misunderstanding on the part
of Thomas McGraw, Cornelius 0'Brien and
William Dolan, as 10 the duration of the 4th
ofJuly They claim to have been taught that
the 4th lasts for a week, and were yesterday
only celebrating the occasion in their own
quiet wayl The Mayor thought something
was due the deeorum Of the Sabbath, and
fined them 81 and costs. McGraw and 0'Bri-
en- forked over, thanking the Mayor for his
leniency, but Dolan not having the change
about him, was sent down 10 Jail
WILLIAM DoRNEY was up for wife-whipping
What a shamel That is said to have been
the second offence Of the hnd-the more
shame, William II is fortunate for some
men that wife-whipping cannot be retaliated
by exercises at a whipping post We hope
~wife-whippers will repent and be saved, il that
be possible d. was fined s. and costs, and
sent down on a bread and water diet for
7 days-just a legal week-with the hope that
he will not only repent but reform. DO, viii
