One of our ministers Qately a
resident here) had his curranL bushes
entirely destroyed hy that pest known
as "currant worms" A few days af-
ter he called on a parishoner, and
found him in his garden looking over
his bushes, which were looking thrifty
and clean.
Minister-''How do you manage to
keep the worms off your bushes 2
Parishoner-"1 give them helle-
bore, with the accent on the first
syllable

This is the time of year when ye
little boy goes down to the shore OF
Quechee to fish, and fills his mouth
with worms, so that he cannot answer
his mother when she calls him. She
rushes down aud finds him, and tells
him what a licking he'll get when his
father comes home.
We saw two young ladies driving
furiously along our streets Tuesday
dressed in tight fitting gowns, broad
brimmed hats, top boots, armed with
fish poles, evidently pointing for some
trout brook. The trout that will not
allow himself to be caught by those
fair hands is fraud.

brain if he would retain the patron:

The ladies now wear the hail
parted on one side and combed over
man fashion, which gives them de
cidedly roguish appearance.
