The spearlpg mania is about over foI the season and it is hoped that the baleful fires of the lawless jabbers are put out nev- CT more to be lighted. It is whispered that number of the most persistent outlaws have been "spotted," and if the law does its duty some of them may turn to very sore spots. Five dollars for each fish may prove very dear sport for somebody. It is strange that the dWellers around the Lakes should fall to understand that it is fer their best interest Gas well as principles) that the wa ters should be kept we'll stocked with every sort of fish-suckers as well, since their young and spawn afford immense food sup ply to the deep water fishes, as lake trout, bass and the land-locked salmon, of which the State has placed so many thousands in our waters. Of course the campers" and ''city fellers'' will catch their share in the but for every one they take at least hun dred are got by the farmers boys on their rainy-day frolics, and thousands by the spear -jabbers, netting and through the ice.
 But let the reputation of the lakes, ''Twln Lakes," be once destroyed, and the hun dreds of campers and the large amount of money they spend among our farmers and gardeners will be as things of the past. Let the law-breakers think of these things be- fore it is too late. The above remarks may be laid to heart by the fyke, pot and net poachers along the Konkapot and black berry rivers, so famous for their abundant trout,-and all parties may as well remember that it is agin' the law to catch any kind of fish in this region in any other way than with HOOK AND LINE.

Symptoms of a DiseasedLiver.

1 DAN in the right side, under the l edge of the ribs, incfeases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and 1t frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach IS affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There IS generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensa- tion of the skin5 his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer. else would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
 For all bilious Arrangements, and as simple purgative, they are unequaled.
 BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
 The genuine are never sugar coated.
 Every box has red wax seal on the lid, with the impression DR. McLANE's LIVER PILLs.
 The genuine McLANE's LIVER PILLS bear the signatures of C. McLANE and FLEMING BRos. on the wrappers.
