MINK AND GREENBACKS.

VEVO Hunters and Trappers in Southern AL
d legeny and Northern Pennsylvania be it
known, that from this till farther notice, the
subscribers will pay FIVE DOLLARS EACH
in greenbacks for all healthy living Mink
delivered to them in WellsvilIe. These Mink
are now worthless for fur, and will remain
comparatively SO for three or four MONTHS
their skins not being prime till about the
middle of December. Whole ltters of Mink
now prevail on the tributaries of the Genesee
and Allegany, and can be taken in box traps.
Persons catching them have only to keep
them confined in box we'll ventilated and
kept in a cool place, with a dish of good pure
water at all times in the box and half dozen
if caught can be brought to market at once
Mipk can be caught much more readily now
than when the season becomes advanced and
cold, and will bring just as good price by
selling to the subscribers. Bring them along
then, sngly or by the dozen, and the money
is ready. WILLIAM W. COLE,
