DEAR FIREMAN. have often been told that
your phllen thropfc bump is exceedingly well
developed, and though never had an Oppor-
iun!ty 10 make chronological investigation,
/ always took fl for granted. until the last
week issue OF your paper. that such was the
case cor weeks we were tortured with the
neat or scOrching sun, unailOyeG by a sing le
drop OF rain, and ye lovers OF piscatoriai sports
were consolIingly laying plans Cor the first re-
ircshing shower. Finally il came, but with IL
your unweicome and uncharitabie warning
that from Aug. lst the ''spechies'' must be Itet
alone. Some OF our Carrolltown friends have
not, however, been annoyed nor outdone by
the close coincidence of the wet weather and
Jhe commencement or the necessary reStrfc-
tons on their sports. They made use or the
last precious moments and apparently struck
the rde that leads to fortune. Humbly and
unpretendinQly they drove ont of town in a
one morse wagon, good looking crew of them
ana lockers on predicted that fish would be
cheap next day And they were right. for pos-
SIP has II that the draughts were exceedingly
good and SO many taken that they had consi-
acrable difficulty in getting some of them home
in their one horse wagon.
An accident which might but fortuna tely
did not prove serious occurred the other day
TO one Of oar well known citizens. Mr., John
FLICK. while overseeing some Eepairs which
were being made at his mill he had the misror-
tdne 10 fall from a sc8tfOlGing, and WIS at frst
