Information which may be of benefit to The

The Bureau is in communication with intel

reports are very full aud accurate. Such
system for keeping the farming oommu-

value When farmers know, with som

A FIAhy kIsh story.


A Saratoga resident who has lately
returned from his native Vermont
hills, tells the following "hsh" story :
Two boys were lstely fishing on
Lake Dunmore. "They were aged
twelve and ten years respectively.
After patientanglIng for 3 while, the
elder hooked . large pIckerel. He
handled il with the true skill Of .
Waltonian till be thought the oppor-
tune moment had arrived, when he
hauled f'taut" with the intent Of land
ing the fish in the boat. Just rs iil
his imaginstion's eye be had secured
the prize, the esh gave . whisk and
broke loose. As lie wEs diving for
bis "home in the Vastly deep" the lit
tie brother, who had sat an Interested
and excited spectator, reached forward
to seize tue slippery:custOmer, and in
so doing fell overheard and sank to
the bottom.
Some men who were witnesses OF
the event, shouted TO the brother to
catch the little fellow - he came TO
the surface. He watched, and, as
soon ss he saw hlm, grabbed him BY
the hair and held him till the men
had rowed out from the shore 70 their
relief. Judge Of their surprise when
they iound that piekerel elasped In
his arms, where he held the nsh with
q death grip, having seized it IS he
fell into the lake. The little lad was
taken to the Lake Dunmore House,
aud soon was recovered from the ef-
fects of his Involuntary bath. The
pickerel weighed ten pounds and was
the largest one ever taken from the
lake. Our informant says he has the
story from one who ate part Of the
fish, and that IL can be relied upon IL
not true, il is the largest story he is
capable OF telling of-hand. 1.-THE man
who related the yarn had not actually
swallowed some OF that fish We would
not feel warranted in asking our read
efs to swallow the tale. But, Of
course, IL the man ate some Of the
pickereI, that settles it.-DGity Sara

Fatal Ju.gsrnaut leeldent.

story OF their throwing themselves

8 figure OF spsech, n 'wsver, 1t can
not be spared. Recently, at y eere-

who had long beeu eRplOyed in build

duty IL was, in dragging, To block ths

the car was sheering toward q house.
and fell under the wheel aud was kill

II, and the wOrshipsrs ascribed il To
the special direction Of Juggsrnant
himself; but their ideas differed IS 10
whether is was to reward the car
penter by taking him To paradise, or
to punish him for bad work, or be-
cause he wanted to manifest himsel:
in striking manner, as a csll TO the

had built jug. Is sister, SAbadhsra, an

because due ceremony had not been

but there seemed 70 be q difficulty in
getting started together, and the ef-
fort was futile, and then the chatter

was q general scoldlng going oD.
Presently several OF the birds heU
