teeth, some OF them being more than half an
inch in length. The manner Of capturing the
pike is said to require great skill and knowl-
edge of their habits. The bait isRnotheE. fish,

hook that the pike takes It head foremost, and
has hook and all away down before the mistake
| IL discovered. The angler then has TO give 1t
play and worry it until he can gradually draw
| It to the shore. To jerk it up, as our boys can
do with Connoquenessing fish, would likely
prove to be the breaking of his line aud the
loss of the pike. The one here alluded to
weighed nine pounds. We would rather Mr..
Eyth had sent some Of the body Of this fish
| to his friends here.
