IMPORTANT TO FIsuERMEH.-Some of

lance to fishermen. The time when black bass
may be legally caught 10 from June LIST to Janu-
airy LIST. Most anglers would have preferred, We
think, 10 have the fishing season open on the lat
Of July--thst Is, II they desire that the bass shall
have a fair chance 10 increase and multiply.
Under tho old law fishing with set or hoop nets
was entirely prohibited under the new act 1t is
lawful to FISH with hoop nets, In streams not In
habitsd by brook trout, during six months Of the
year-Msrch, April, May, September, October and
November. The mesbss Of ths nets, however,
must be not less than one inch In sire, and trout,
bass, pike and pickerei caught 10 them must be
returned to the water, on penalty Of s25 enc. I,
Is veiy doubtful II net fishermen will pay much
attention to this provision. The trout or has.
captured 10 hoop nets will have poor show Of be-
ing thrown back into the water. notwithaandin

Tho provision Of the law that bass Of a less w.,
than sir inches shall not be caught, under sit
penalty, WIN require anglers to carry foot rules OF

The MARRYING FRAUD.-Some two
or three weeks ago a person representing himself
to DO Rev. O.. W. Moore, and a minister in the
Reformed Episcopal Church Of Newark, N. j.,
came to Lewistown, Pa, where he introduced
himself to the ministers Of the place and quickly
gained, a, ledst to some extent, their confidence.
lie preached In the Methodist Church, by invita-
iion, his first Sabbath there. Hisquick acquain-
lance and apparently too great familiarity with
some Of the ladies created at least 10 one Of the
preachers minds q distfust that led 10 some telo-
graphic inquiries concerning his standing. In
the meantime be visited Milroy, a small village
some nine miles north Of Lewistown, where he
sought and obtained the acquaintanee Of a young
lady in good society and proposed marriage and
elopement. lie told her he was a preacher 10
New York, on a salary Of IS, 900, and had almost
persuaded her to accompany him, but her former
lover coming home at this ~juncture put a stop to
further proceedings. Going back to Lowistown,
he was met by an enraged trio Of ministers, who
gave him a very short time to pack bis lift and
leave never to return again. TIE word received
from bis former home represents him to DO an
impostor, and warns people to have nothing to do
with hin. lie Is reported to have made n call at
Middleton, Pa, on his trip westward, aud his
conduct there was similar to that at Lewistown

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-03-30

A conference has been held this
week between some of our leading
business men and two gentlemen
representing the st. L. & s. E. r. r.
on a matter of importance to the
business interests of GAINESVILLE.
The gentlemen whJ visited our city
were Mr.. Shepherd, General Super
intendent, and Mr.. Butler, General
Agent Of the road in question, and
the enterprise which they presented
was the construction of a branch
road to strike the st. l.. & S. E. at
Guthrie. We have been put in pos
session of the financial arrangements
whereby this scheme is hoped to be
realized, but will forbear at present
discussing them, as the affairs of the
S. Z. itself are in a transition state
and we are not, until we know more
about them, in position to discuss
the feasibility of the proposition.
About the importance of interesting
that line in the business of Clarks-
vile there can be no two opinions,
and we wait further light upon the
subject with interest.
