The great firm of E. Remington
q Sons, is somewhat embarrassed, by
reason of not getting their pay from
foreign governments to which they
have furnished immense lots of arms.
The creditors of the firm will take long
paper and assist them to continue
business.
The Jameson stave mill started
up on Monday. The firm have not
many bolts at the mill, but have a
large quantity in the woods, which
we're not hauled in last winter, owing
20 the scarcity of snow. The work of
putting these bolts to the mill has COM
menced, and will proceed until the
whole lot is in. The low price of oil
dses not affect the stave business.
Mr.. Geo. S. Morgan has beeB.put-
ting in oak mber up Mt Sugar Run,
for Messrs. Derickson & Co., has run
down to the mill some seventy five
thousand feet of logs, board measure
This, when sawed up into bolts, will
make about 225 cords, which will man,
ufacture $4,000 slaves. Tho prospects
are that the proprietors will have
enough stock on hands to keep ever
Adams busy this season.
Horace Jones, of Tidioute, keeps
on hands large and varied assort
ment of fishing tackle of all kinds, anC
can suit anybody who will take thu
trouble to examine his stock. AnC
when it comes to repairing anything
from single barrel pistol to breech

found at home. His prices are always
reasonable and his work always salts

The following is an extract from a let

of Bethesda Water. The writer is the Rev.
T. B. Fuller, d. D., D. G. L., rector of St.
Gregory's Church, Toronto, Archdeacon
of Niagara, etc, etc. The writer, at the
age of 60 years was victim of Saccharine
Diabetes. His physician said ito use DR..
Fuller's woIds) she could do no more for
me than he had done: that my disease was
incurable, and that must lie down and
die" [Nve should state here en- pdreRtheSiS
that our townsman, Jos. Fleming, ESQ.,, is
the sole and only authorized agent for this
wonderful Water for this State as well as

'after taking the Water, I obtained relief,
and since that time have taken no medi-
cine, consulted no medical man, and pre-
sumo if 1 could give my self reasonable

Such testimony, from such a source,
should indeed have convincing weight.

Ever since the serpent tempted
Mother Eve, in the Garden of Eden,
all mankind has hated snakes. In this
country the particular dread and aver
sion of the people, is rattlesnakes, and
in some locations, copperheads. But
we have fresh and well-grounded cause
of action against the water-snake, hith-
erto deemed comparatively innocent
reptile. The reason is this On Fri
day last we were trouting in a small
stream just south of Stewards Run,
and had thrown six-inch trout out
on the bank, but he waited us good
bye with his tail, and disappeared in
his native element. We fshed min.
ute or so in the same pool, thinking
perhaps he might take another bite,
but not feeling pull, and concluding
the trout had been pricked, we started
for the next pool below. There we
saw a trout turning up its sides, and
circling around as if it were crazy
believing that it was tho trout we had
thrown out moment before, and that
it was badly wounded, we laid down
our rod, and went toward the water
with the intention of landing the fish
by hand. But what was our surprise
upon close inspection, to find that
the trout had been seized by a water
snake, which was swimming across the
pool with the trout in its mouth, hav-
ing hold about an inch from the end
of the trout's tail The erratic move.
ments of the trout were caused by his
frantic endeavors to escape. We wait
ed until that snake had made par
tial landing, and then planted a big
boot firmly on the back of his neck,
when he opened his mouth, and the
trout waved us a second adieu, and
disappeared in his native element.
The fact that these reptiles preyed on
brook trout, or fish of any kind, was
new to us, and we then and there reg
