We noticed a party Of ju. fishermen pass
Ing through town ono day this week, which
is nothing remarkable; but one singular
circumstance connected Herewith attracted
our attention. All the jugs but one "a two

the bottom OF the skin as they might, while
The fishermen seemed particularly anxious
that the large one should not get broken.
We can account for 1t in no other way than
by supposIng that they did not wish to lei
the t~wo-hundred pound cat fish, which they
expected to catch, get away for want of a
jug sufficiently large to hold him.
Anybody wanting school books will do
