the quaint old Izaak Walton: ''Thus use
your frog: put your hook, i mean the arm
ing wire, through his mouth and out 1T his
gills, and then with fine needle and silk
sew the upper part Of his leg with only ono
stitch To the arming wire of your hook, or
tie the frogs Ieg above the upper joint to the
armed wire; and in 70 doing, use him rs
though Won loved him. - e.. .tsa'

challenge him before firing, and what answer
did he nakeg' Eyes, did; bat he only
said Oui, Quiz and kept coming on; 50 I

mediately and crrefuliy Patrclled, and be-

discovered. MORALLY wounded. He was
raised upon his hind legs, amid shouts Of
laughter. and proved to he very fine and
very wild boar! tse1 H..' r-.t "
