We havenot heard ofany trout fishing
as yet and are led to believe that the
weather hes been too cold for them to
bite-too cold to be hungry you know.
Perhaps they get cold, in their heads,
in which case we can understand their
want Of appetite.

THE names of the two men mentioned
in last weeks COLUMBIAN as having
been drowned at Wapwollopen were
John Belin, son OF the superintendent
Of the Powder works, and Slas Smith,
teamster. The boat in which they
we're crossing the river was so loaded
Il, to allow the water to rush in, fright
cning the horses and leading to the
upsetting Of the craft. Two hundred
dollars reward has been offered by
Belin's father for the recovery of his
sons body, and the Messrs. Dupont
offer 500 for the body of either Belin or
Smith. Up to this writing we have not
heard of the finding of the bodies. A
careful watch is kept al The Berwick
bridge but it is probable that the cur
rent has carried them further down the
river.

Several persons are said to have been
injured at Apalachicola by the explosion
of a negro who carclessly drank some
water after eating half a peck of dried
apples.-Er.
The newspapers do occasionally con.
tain statements of very dubious veracity
but we are inclined to think there may
be truth in the above. 1t is perfectly
well known that dried apples when wet
will swell and if that coored person
only ate enough of them and drank suf-
ficient water afterward we cannot see
why he shouldn't burst. What was to
hinder him? The fact of by.standers
being injured is merely corroboratlve
they must have been more or less hurt
by fellow going TO pieces in that vio
lent way. odd case, though, isn't it.

evening dews and morning vapors and the
