Fishing For DOGS.

Apropoe Of a boy arrested In Montreal on q
charge Of fishing for turkeys. it Is told In po-
lied court circles that n charge was made
against youth named Francois Dubuc re-
siding ON Cadieux street, for fishing up a
neighbours dog. 1t seems that the boy was
annoyed at the visits Of the dog, and resolved
to put q stop to them "by ways that were
dark" He procured piece of rope and affix-
ing piece of meat to it, creased the rope and
threw 1t at the dog The dog commenced to
eat, and when he had swallowed about half
the string, the boy gradually hauled in. Re-
suit. The dog has not visited the place since.

The success Of the spring and summer stock at
II. J. GIGIEN's this season has been highly graf
flying to that gentleman. He quite outdid him
self in his spring purchases and is pleased to see
that his efforts are appreciated The stock is
still rich and well selected, having been replcn-
ished largely in the last few days in the lines of
dress goods. Should we specify any particular
lines worthy Of notice We mention those of Bunt-
ings, Lace Buntings, Summer and Trimming
Silks; though the general dress goods stock is
complete in every grade of standard or novel
goods. In shawls-a specialty-he shows a
splendid line including Laces, Shetlands, Pals
leys, Roches, etc, offered at unusually low
prices.
Not to 80 further into particulars, we would
remind the public that the house in all depart
ments dry goods, boots and shoes and groceries is
filed with desirable goods: and that the motto
of the house is ''never to be undcrsold.' All are
invited to call and compare goods and prices.

On Monday evening Il second meeting of sports
was held at the Court House when a club va.

whose object is the enforcement of the fish and

seem that the fish law is very defective, prohibit
Ing the seining of game fish only. At any rate
Ottawa fishermen continue to work openly,
throwing back, however, all the game fish cought.
1t is stated, however, that the working OF seine
in the rivers just after the spawn is deposited is
as injurious the catching of the fish, for spawn
disturbed before it reaches certain point of de-

better than it was before. However, there are
two years in which to test its merits before it can
possibly be changed Another meeting of the
club will be held on June 9th.

1t was DR.. Franklin, We believe, who made the
remark, in reference to their proyerbial morbid
sensitiveness to criticism that all great musicians
are more or less "crscked." The friends, or ap-
parent friends, of Mrs. Altman seem determined
to establish her claim to be regarded As great
musician by the same test. The FREE TRADER
certainly INDUCED in no criticism of her singing
at late parlor concert to which there could be
any objection either healthy or morbid, because
it made no criticism whatever. 1t made the sin
gle remark, which was also made in regard to
Miss Jordan, that Mrs. Altman might have done
herself and her vocal talents, which we are all so
ready to recognize, better justice by different Sc
lcctions. No audience would allow even Louisa
Kellogg to sing some trivial ditty when she is
capable of something 50 much better. As to the
courteous reference 10 our "bald-headed' senior,
what connection that can have with the case is
not quite apparent, and upon the whole such
slang must be regarded as cowardly, unless,
which is hardly supposabc, "Rusty Cuss" re-
membercd the case Of certain unhappy Hebrew
children and discerned "she bear in the pros
pect, which, of course, would make difference.
