The fishing season has commenced, and our anglers, men and boys, can be seen every hour of the day, upon those beautiful sheets of water, Nudge and Indian ponds, with rod and line, engaged in the pleasant pastime of catching Bass, Perch and Sun fish. It was written years since, that ''he who makes two blades of grass to grow, where
 but one grew before, is public benefac- tor" and l believe 1t true; then the man who threw the first pailful of imported bass, into Nudge pond, is fully entitled to the expectation of public fishers benefac- tor, and his memory should be held in strictest reverence by his hiscatorial breth- eren for all coming time. Beardsley's pond is also being fished, and our sportsmen

The Dr. of course dined with me, and found the fish of fire, healthy, aud delicate flavor. It IS in this way that he ministers to the wants of his patients, and strengthens and stimulates their appetites, while adding to their invalid pleasures. Of course VIC think we'll of our physician, aud so do others Tn this good old town, and it is the general impression that he possesses powers of an enlarged order. Our bachelor friend Judge Hunt is in one respect an ardent lover; that is, with fish, and fishing, and may be seen almost every day with rod and line, wend. ing his way to the fishing ground for a days sport. He is sklllful angler, and generally successful.......I am glad MT.

Our town has many summer visitors from New York, Brooklyn and other places, seeking health and recreation. If greater accommodations were had, the town would be filled every season, and have no doubt It would prove very remun- erative, and it certainly would benefit all classes of our people. Who will be the first to lead off in building a summer hotel or boarding house. To the front ye solid men of Sharon. n.......Another grand concert will be given in the Presbyterian church at Amenia about the middle of next month which promises to be the finest affair of the season. am told they have engaged the services of MT.
