How TO CATCH BLACK BAss.-An old At
lantic City fisherman tells in the following way
how to catch black bass. Black bass, he says,
"will first nibble gently at the bait and will
frequently draw your float under water. But
wait-the float comes back-suddenly he seizes
it and darts off, Don't pull give him play.
Suddenly he stops; he swallows the bait slowly.
Now quick pull and you have him."

Chief Justice Agnew, in company with
DR.. McKenny, Charles Townsend and other
gentlemen, of Beaver, went out cunning
on the Fourth, and prepared themselves for
good days sport in bagging woodcocks.
But it seems that this variety OF game did
not exist in the locality traversed, and some OF
the party fell to, bringing down pheasants,
forgetting for the time, that to do SO at this
season was unlawful. Between twenty and
thirty of the birds were "bagged" and
brought home and all hands seemed well
pleased with the days enjoyment. The
Chief Justice and his companions were, how
ever, somewhat astonished few days after
wards upon receiving a summons from
Squire Glass, of New Brighton, to appear
before him on Thursday next to answer q
suit of the Sportsman's Association for vic,
lating the game laws. The affair has crea
ted a sensation in Beaver county, the home
of the Chief Justice, and although some are
disposed to think the prosecution malicious
they still regard it as a pretty good joke Oh

at the hearing the Chief Justice will plead
guilty as accessory before and after the fact

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafiied the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing It
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use in ai.y quantity.
